KickChick Posted April 3, 2002 Posted April 3, 2002 Check out the USA Network this week for: Van Damme http://www.usanetwork.com/movies/actionwednesday/ I saw Replica last night ... pretty good. I've noticed alot pf pretty good ma movies being shown here on occasion. .... sorry van_damme you're not here in the States!
Jiggy9 Posted April 3, 2002 Posted April 3, 2002 You know, I've heard that van damme uses stunt doubles for alot of his action scense; any truth in that? Shotokan Karate Black Belt ==Defend the path of Truth==
TKD_McGee Posted April 3, 2002 Posted April 3, 2002 Yea its true, ive seen just about every Sean Claud movie that has been shown on Cable TV and he does use stunt doubles. Some of his movies are cheesy, wait most of them are! Street Fighter Double Impact Double Team Legionnare Bahah... oh well, Martial Arts B movies are still fun to watch.. Do unto others, as they done to you.
Blade13 Posted April 3, 2002 Posted April 3, 2002 I always look forward to Van Damme week on USA! Ive liked Jean Claude since I was little, and Im loyal, lol. One time, I watched his movies so often, that I started speaking with a belgian accent, and it was never on purpose either. Aside from the bad acting, he is still a good martial artist. Maybe that acting is because he learned to speak english by watching the Flintstones. *shrugs* _________________ *To HELL with opportunity!

Jiggy9 Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 I dont get it, if he's not doing his own action; what exactly is he getting paid for? I mean - he's not exactly the best of actors! Shotokan Karate Black Belt ==Defend the path of Truth==
KickChick Posted April 4, 2002 Author Posted April 4, 2002 ...um, Pamela Lee isn't either (a good actress), so what is she getting paid for He's got a good set of pecs and he can kick (and kick high I might add!) I saw the movie last night ... action scenes were highly unbelieveable ... like at the end when VanDamme shoots the guy and he blows back like 20 feet in mid air ...
ramcalgary Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 lots of martial arts stars do not do their own stunts chuck norris don wilson jet li all use stunt doubles for dangerous scenes it is to big of a risk for the studio to allow them to risk injury chuck norris even used a double during the last 2 seasons of walker for some martial arts fight scenes Honor is the most important thing a man has once you lose it it is gone forever
Jiggy9 Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 lol - Well put KickChick! Shotokan Karate Black Belt ==Defend the path of Truth==
