Blow Out is better than Scarface, and I wish you guys were watching that one instead, but I appreciate the comment!

I'm just thinking... you guys should do the movie called Coming Soon, then you can have a Coming Soon Coming Soon announcement. :D

In addition to being one of JCVD's best films, Bloodsport has a great soundtrack.

Lol @ Bloodsport. A movie I dug with my cousins when we were teenagers. Cheesy, memorable scenes.

In my country, they changed the name of "Lionheart" To "Wrong Bet". I really don't know why they do that except maybe to appeal to a different audience at the time. For example: "Airplane" was renamed "Flying High" and "Shoot To Kill" was renamed "Deadly Pursuit"
Guston Zimasheen
2022-07-25 13:04:08 +0000 UTC
On a side note - Frank Dux, who the movie is supposed to be based on, was a complete martial arts fraud - almost as big as Steven Segal. Van Damme was legit

Primal Fear is terrific and Bloodsport is cheesy great fun. I think I saw it three times in the theaters and my roommate on Okinawa had a VHS copy and it got played so many times we actually wore out the tape

"Body Double" (1984) and "Dressed to Kill" (1980) also deserve to be mentioned!!!
I'm surprised he hasn't shown her Scarface yet...
Joe Lazarus
2022-07-24 22:51:46 +0000 UTC
Yes! I was gonna recommend Blow Out! Probably John Travoltas best movie
Ken Veader
2022-07-24 21:28:41 +0000 UTC
If you watch "Blow Out" (1981), you should consider watching "Blow-Up" (1966), the film that inspired it, too.

My favourite film of both Travolta and De Palma!

It would definitely be in your best interest (since you just watched The Untouchables) to check out Brian De Palma’s 1981 thriller ‘Blow Out.’ It is a truly terrific, exciting, surprising film, and I’m willing to bet you (and many viewers) have not heard of it. It has the hallmarks of a great De Palma movie: incredibly conceived and executed shots, insane tension and suspense, and a touch of the macabre. It also features John Travolta’s best dramatic performance and a memorable Pino Donnagio score. Sure, it may not rake in the views like some other popular titles would, but I feel like it would be a truly rewarding watch.

Yes!!! I vote also for Amercian History X
Florian Meier

Another Great Richard Gere Movies are "Red Corner" from 1997 ans "Pretty Woman" from 1990 ... Already in your List is "A Officer and a Gentleman" from 1982 which is Great !!!
Florian Meier
2022-07-24 16:12:49 +0000 UTC
Bloodsport!!!!! Lionheart, kickboxer, nowhere to run, timecop and universal soldier are also great Van damme films

Great recommendations! Sudden Death is Van Damme's Die Hard, Timecop is Van Damme's Minority Report, and Hard Target is one of my favourite action films of all time. And they're all underrated. I'm also a part of the Mia Sara fan club!
Future Boy
2022-07-24 10:04:06 +0000 UTC
What. A. Week.
And it's so exciting to see Van Damme make his debut on the channel! I hope you go on a Van Damme run, because it will be non-stop fun if you do. By far my favourite martial artist in films.
My personal favourite is Hard Target (1993). It's crazy, over the top, silly, and spectacular, and as much fun as I've ever had watching anything. Daniel would want to marry this film!

2022-07-24 09:55:19 +0000 UTC
Yeah Kickboxer is great.

After Primal Fear I heavily suggest reacting to American History X (starring Edward Norton).

Primal Fear is Excellent!! One of My Favorite Thriller of all Time !!! Love Edward Norton in This !!! Bloodsport is my Favorite Van Damme Movie !!
Florian Meier
2022-07-24 06:41:33 +0000 UTC
So looking forward to Primal Fear! Edward Norton's debut and IMO his best performance ever. Can't wait to see what you guys thought of it

I agree Kickboxer then maybe Cyborg and Double Impact, Lionheart, Universal Soldier and Hard Target

Bloodsport is respectable. But we NEED Kickboxer.

You guys need to react to all of Johnnys favourites from the 80’s😊
Mark M
2022-07-24 00:46:26 +0000 UTC
Oh MY God i am assuming here this will be your first actual Van Damme movie?? Bloodsport to Van Damme is like Commando to Arnold and Rambo/Rocky to Stallone so its is 80s fun and cheese but its soo good. If you guys do like the action and fighting styles of him then your going to start a Van Damme movie watch like the others!!! So damn excited for this!!!
Demos Samolis
2022-07-24 00:32:43 +0000 UTC
If you love action, you can't go too wrong with early Van Damme films. That was like my weekends at the cinema back in the 80s/90s. Going to see all these action films...good, bad, ugly, indifferent. We had so much to choose from. Is so great to revisit some of them with you guys.

Van Damme was my idol growing up (other than Michael Jackson), everyone in school called me Van Damme lol, I learned his moves and the split too. I was always there opening day of his films. Had a whole scrapbook of articles you name it. Lol.
