(AKA) Jean Claude Van Damme.

That's right, this guy
Jean-Claude_Van_Damme.jpg

stars as himself, in a movie about himself.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130988/

And by god, theres a trailer.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PBmTA51qGzM

It's like some sort of bizarre meta humor. Or something. It's just amazing thats what it is.

    They premiered this trailer a few months ago and I've been looking forward to it ever since

    Who better to play J.C.V.D. in a movie about J.C.V.D. than J.C.V.D.?

    They already made a movie called Being John Malkovich, though.

    Will they finally reveal the secret of the lump on his forehead? Or is that for the sequel, J.C.V.D. II, even more VanDamme-ier.

    I wasn't convinced with the concept but that trailer is great. This is now on my radar.

    Edit: Now I look like the big Van Damme fan with my av. I just really like Street Fighter The Movie.

    That's what I was expecting him to do almost the whole time. Just come up all cocky and uses his roundhouse kick to prove he should be in the film.

    but yeah, you're totally right I've always thought 'that kick he does' was called a roundhouse kick.

    a roundhouse kick is very, very simple

    your leg goes out in front of you, turns to the side, and kicks across with either the top of your foot or, preferably, the ball

    that's all

    I think it's the round in roundhouse that's confusing. It makes you think of spinning around.


    Right round baby right round, like a record baby right round round round.

    The tension was palpable, I was expecting him to flip out and start ninja kicking all over the place at like 5 or 6 different points in the trailer.

    I remember watching so many J.C.V.D. movies as a kid, and in every movie it always had the 2 trademark moves.

    1. Split crotch punch

    2. The ending move was always a jumping spinning roundhouse kick. ALWAYS.

    Bloodsport was my favorite movie by him.

    First off, I am so seeing this movie (can't watch the trailer at work, dammit).

    Second, while Bloodsport was good, the true pinnacle of the Jean-Claude Van Damme oeuvre was Double Team. If you haven't seen it, go rent it right now.
