    Universal Soldier FTW. Great story, and the showdown with Dolph Lundgren is epic. Van Damme was not afraid to try any story, and let himself get his ass kicked, unlike Seagal.

    I rewatch Jean-Claude Van Damme's past movies over and over and I never get tired of them, I'm 37 and I was a 90's kid and grew up watching his films and still remember like it was yesterday when Sudden Death came out at the video store which I waited 4-5 hours at the store waiting for them to get a copy it in.

  • @DeadDogInc
    @DeadDogInc Před 5 lety +1

    @MrPornoforpandas Před 5 lety +1

    Thanks for a great tribute video. I am quite the JCVD fan and consider Sudden Death his best. His most recent collaboration with director Peter Hyams Enemies Closer is great as well and he really steals the show in a fun villainous role. Also really enjoyable is the slacker-comedy Welcome to the Jungle where he has a blast sending up his persona.

    Awesome vid! Not a mere pairing of film reviews, the nostalgia angle was truly great. I too remember the effect Fender's voice had on my young self. And I still recall when kids in high school called him "John Claude Van Damme".
    Both films were truly great and underrated.
    (But for a moment, I thought you were going to mention the odd twist of Raymond J Barry & Boothe switching sides as good & evil characters from their recent action hit with Brandon Lee, "Rapid Fire". Glad you mentioned the "Masters of the Universe Part 2" story.)

U never knew what a stars nxt film was really as a kid anyway until that trailer hits or u see the posters out. Still my action hero,my go to guy. His films from NRNS up until the Order Are Still held in high regard. After that some massive stdvd duds but a few lil gems. In Hell,Wake of Death. JCVD was an Awesome film and he had a lil comebk in Expendables 2 but sadly the BIG comebk hasnt happened. Id pay £100 ticket to see himin the lead on the Cinema screen again.

    I love Sudden Death. Your closing was very well said. Powers Booth's spirit shows up to call you a "cocksucker" made my f*ckin' day!!! I'll be laughing at that one for the rest of my days. Back to Sudden Death, i always roll my eyes at the commentators saying something along the lines of "that was the best save ever". That was so hysterically over the top. Im new to the channel. If you havent done videos on Cobra, The Perfect Weapon, and The Taking of Beverly Hills, I'd request them.

    But what if I shared with you a story concept of mine, that ties together all of the past movies, including Universal Soldier: The Return? (Personal favourite of mine)
