Universal Soldier: The Return
Published on
Was there anyone waiting for this movie? When Van Damme’s career began to tank in the late 90s he thought it would be wise to return to one of his most beloved characters. Which one? Bloodsporter Frank Dux, Kickboxer Kurt Sloane, Hard Target Chance Boudreaux, or Timecop Max Walker? No that would be Universal Soldier…

Accident Man
Published on
I’m a fan of old school action movies. I grew up on Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme and Seagal taking on armies back in the 80s and 90s. I even saw plenty of second-rate action flicks back in the day starring the likes of Michael Dudikof, Dolph Lundgren, Cynthia Rothrock and Rutger Hauer. None of those movies…

Jean-Claude van Damme is probably one of the most interesting 80’s/90’s action stars working today. While Arnie, Sly and Steven stick to the tried and true action formula the last couple of years Van Damme suddenly pops up in all kinds of different projects. The almost art-house action movie “Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning” where…

Force of Execution
Published on
It’s funny how both Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude van Damme’s careers follow a similar path. Both broke through in the 80’s and where A-list action stars in the (early) 90’s. Their popularity waned and since the millennium both have been starring in mostly Direct-To-Video movies. Since then, they both had only one theatrical movie and…
