The man the FUCKING legend.

I don't know about you, but I fucking grew up to his movies, and all those memories of watching him kick the fuck out of people sure made my childhood more enjoyable.

I know a lot people out there might say Arnold, or even Sylvester did it better, but I have to disagree.

During the early 90's nobody could fuck with Motherfucking VAN DAMME

A lot of people don't know that before becoming a action star he was an AMAZING kick boxer.

Don't believe me?

CLICK ME BITCHES

+ Show Spoiler +
That's right 17-1. He lost to some guy, but a year later came back and FUCKED HIM UP in less than 2 minutes.


The man married fucking 5 times. He wanted it all, and got it all.

He was offered to play Johny Cage in MK, but turned it down to play this guy.
+ Show Spoiler +

All I have to say is that the man is fucking awesome

Sylvester Stallone
Arnold Schwarzenegger
It's all about Van Damme

Check this shit out.

Yes he got a FUCKING ERECTION!


I have no idea why my post won't embed more than 3 videos in a row. Sorry about that folks.

EDIT: Sfydjklm I didn't forget. I had some difficulties embedding it. It's above this now. Thanks though.

I had to go count my DVDs to accurately reply...

I've got 18 of his movies on DVD currently, and I'm aming at acquiring every single one. Strangley though, he keeps spitting them out in a much more rapid rate than you'd imagine. I guess he wants to make sure that current and future generations of kids need to have some proper action on their video store shelves.

And BTW, that kickboxer final fight is so bad. The one from bloodsport is a classic though.

My favourite movies are double team and knock off since they both have a retarded storyline that makes you go WTF every five minutes. Both are directed by Tsui Hark, a legend in action films.

I watched No Retreat, No Surrender the other day. A guy gets trained by the ghost of Bruce Lee to beat Van Damme. Recommended.

whilte i posted videos that do compromise damme's integrity so to speak, i admit that hes a legend, and has brought up several generations of full contact athletes.

no offense intended, but those fighting clips of him looks really unrealistic and bad. =O

Perhaps I was spoiled growing up, watching Jet Li movies ( Once upon a time in China series anyone?) but these old american fight movies pales in comparision to their hong kong martial arts counterparts.

First of all Eastern Martial Arts is different from Full Contact/Mixed Martial Arts. So comparing patrons of both fields together is disgracefull, and unkind good sir. I say you have insulated myself, my mother, my grandfather, McDonalds, Seth green, the guy that delivered my pizza today, and that dude from the show Cousin Skeeter.

Never utter those words again of Van Damm not being epic, or I will be forced to jump kick your ass.

That's all I have to say.

Now enjoy this video.

Fucking bloodsport kicks ass.

But, alas, you can't compare him to Sly in Demolition Man. It's just impossible.

Three words: that was classic.

If you were to look up awesomeness in the dictionary, you'd probably find a picture of him beside it.

Man, I saw that Breakdancing movie a lonnnnnng time ago and I never realized he was in it. ROFL


On another note: they should have casted V.D. for Starship Troopers. It would have been that much better with him in it.

I barely found that out yesterday. I'm addicted to that video of him dancing. It's just that good.

That would have been the best movie ever!

I read somewhere that the two first picks for the movie "Demolition Man" were Van Damme and Steven Seagal, but it didn't work out because they both refused to play the bad guy. I can't back that up though, you might be able to read about it somewhere like IMDB. Anyway, just imagine what an "incredible" movie that would have been.
