Kickboxer

And I think when he worked on Bloodsport, they showcased the fact that he could get hurt a little bit.

I think with Kickboxer, he has to save his brother and you put him in the training montages.

Those movies used him well.

And then I think also Time Cop and Sudden Impact, maybe it's because it was Himes, but he kind of realized the strength of... of jean-claude van damme surrounded him with decent actors silly plots simple plots to follow and he got the best out of them those were probably two of his more appreciated films even universal soldier roland emmerich understood his sense of humor a little bit when he's in the diner just shoveling food in his face and smiling like they they understood him So, yeah, I think because of all the script changes, they were getting new stuff every day.

You're like fucking

Jean-Claude Van Damme in Kickboxer.

A bit like Jean-Claude Van Damme.

In the bar.

So Ali has realised she is travelling with a genetically enhanced Labrador, basically.

Anyway, she's gone off to make a phone call and Van Damme plays it straight rather than mugging, a bit like when he does the dance sequence in Kickboxer.

He plays it straight, which is what makes it funnier.

I don't know whether...

So...

Dolph is now fully unhinged.

I mean, Scott injects himself with unisole enhancers and then Van Damme starts getting slapped about, you know, a bit like the end of Bloodsport and Kickboxer and AWOL where he starts losing the fight and he hasn't got anybody on the sidelines to go, or Luke, as the case may be in this bit.

Um, But then Luke gets hold of a syringe and injects himself.

I think I might have seen JCVD, which was sort of a meta movie where he plays himself that came out in like the 2000s.

But yeah, that's, no. Kickboxer, Bloodsport.

None of these are things that I care about.

It's not my genre.

no.

And even Dan, when he was on one of those late night shows, he replicated his dance from Kickboxer.

Yeah, from Kickboxer.

The best one of the dancers.

Yeah,

Oh, it's gone.

Mutai, I only know Mutai because of Kickboxer.

That's what Tom Poe does.

And also from Street Fighter, Saga.

Definitely has to be one of the best martial art films I've seen.

As a kid, honestly, this would have just blown my mind how good it is.

I mean, I've watched crap, you know, like Kickboxer 2, Kickboxer 3, 4, what else? Stuff like Bloodsport 2, 3, 4, which were nowhere near close compared to the first film and the second, you know, and even the last Kumite.

I wanted it to be good, but this just shows you how good a film with A director that knows what he's doing.

Love that movie.

He also did, uh, from Kickboxer, Fight for Love, Never Surrender, and then of course Fight to Survive from Bloodsport, you know.

[tsking] Guy is a pretty epic bro.

Pretty epic.
