Apr 2, 2014 · Jean-Claude Van Damme is a champion martial artist and bodybuilder as a teenager, he used his physical abilities to become the star of such American action flicks as Bloodsport (1988)...
- Bloodsport (1988) “If I can grab it before you close your hand, I get the girl.” After both limited screen time and dialogue in the glorious 80s treat that is No Retreat, No Surrender, in which he’d played the lead villain, Bloodsport marked Van Damme’s breakthrough as both leading man and straight-to-video star.
- Universal Soldier (1992) “The food is good.” When Universal Soldier was released I almost wept with joy. Thanks to Van Damme’s productivity in the previous few years, I was a full-blown fan by the time it appeared on the big screen and that, coupled with my love of Dolph Lundgren after a solid run from Rocky IV to Showdown In Little Tokyo, meant I was one excited geek, and Universal Soldier did not disappoint.
- Timecop (1994) “I’m still kicking, I must be on Broadway.” Any self-respecting action star should, at some point in their career, have a blockbuster sci-fi feature under their belt.
- Hard Target (1993) “Now take your big stick and your boyfriend and find a bus to catch.” The universal appeal of Jean Claude Van Damme has meant that he’s been chosen by quite a few directors making their first English language feature film, especially from the far east.
