So my parents never really had much of a problem with me watching anything. I grew up watching Jean-Claude Van Damme films because my cousins were all boys.

My personal favorite is Universal Soldier. I think he wears a necklace made out of ears in that one.

I heard that he has a tiny pee pee.

Well he's a tiny man. And also steroids can make things shrivel away, apparently. Bet he's done some in his time.

I watched, and enjoyed, Streetfighter. I am not ashamed to admit it. It's fucking awful, and possibly killed Raul Julia, but I like it all the same.
Also found Double Team, with Dennis Rodman, surprisingly watchable. I don't think his movies try to be anything other than total shit, and thus succeed admirably, and are kind of campy fun. Well I hope they don't try to be anything else!

How did it possibly kill Raul Julia?

Shame and humiliation. Degradation and fear. He was a sick man, but how could anyone keep their will to live after that dog? I'm sure Jean-Claude, Kylie and Wes Studi were hanging by a thread.

My uncle (who is only 3 years older than me) used to rent those when my brother and I visited. I actually liked them.
Of course after watching those kids have to pull out their own Jean-Claude moves. My brother got his two front teeth knocked out on my uncle's knee from some kind of face-smashing move.

Me too, I own it on VHS. I was obsessed with Street Fighter when I was younger, I had all the games and the GI Joes.

I read on the internet that he is bisexual and likes it when his girlfriend humiliates him about it. Sounds completely true to me.

my brother and i used to love his films

universal soldier was good, but i think i like bloodsport best. it's an awful film though

Go Pablita, nothing's cooler than a man who can jump up and do the splits mid air (in tight pale blue jeans) to avoid a speeding bullet. We may need a thread on steven segal soon--- the fringed suede jacket and greasy ponytail demands discussion.

so who would win an all-in fight between Van Damme, Steven Segal, Bruce Willis, Sylvestor Stallone and Arnold Schwarzeneggar, assuming they are all at the peak of their man powers?

Jean-Claude would probably lose on account of his less than impressive stature.

I'd pick Dolph Lundgren to come in and kick all their scrawny arses. He's about 200cm (over 6'6"), and is the smartest as well - he has his master's in something. He'd clean up, until along came Michael Dudikoff.

Jean-Claude hit a tree while driving his car after drinking. his face was wounded but it's nothing serious.

back in the early 90's my father (who's a dentist) did an emergency crown replacement on Mr. Van Damme when he was in town, and broke his. at the time i didn't know who he was. and now that i do, i realize he's irrelevant. he's really strange looking. sortof like what Dr.Frankenfurter's second man-sex-slave would have looked like, i imagine.

i've only seen street fighter, which i love as i have a "thing" for raul julia, and timecop, which muddled up my feelings for mia sara and the whole ferris bueller thing way before SJP did. only cameron frye is unsullied, star trek not withstanding

I'd definately pick Dolph Lundgren.

I watched a Van Damme movie the other night which was ok, I think it was called In Hell. He was in a Russian prison and had to fight some pretty beefy Russian guys.

I used to watch Kickboxer so much as a child that I knew every move in the fight scenes and my friend and I would act them out on each other in slow motion.

There's no footage of that is there? So sad.
