Police story
Kickboxer
Mortal Kombat was real good
Kickboxer had some fantastic scenery.
Bloodsport did everything else better tho
>tfw I didn't get to enjoy JCVD Kino until I was a 20some yr old adult
Would of loved his films growing up. Won't make the same mistake with my boy.
>would of
Make sure you pass this on to your boy: it's "would've", as in "would HAVE".
I love how JCVD always has an explanation why he's an American with a belgian accent in most of his movies
I enjoyed the No Retreat, No Surrender trilogy. Especially 3. It has that 80's no budget feel to it that few can accurately simulate now.
The Karate Kid is a classic.
you have no idea man.
>grow up with very religious mother
>same with my bro
>he got a JCVD connection and gets pirated VHS at school.
>we secretly watch Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Cyborg at sleepovers.
>try to learn spin-kicks from then on.
80's was so innocent
still little touched by political correctness
The "correct" politics were different then. There was still plenty of propaganda.
Blade
Big trouble in little China
gymkata frank ducks
definitely and it made for some great movies.
rocky IV could have been made in no other time frame.the soviet union, anti-communist movement. the american action hero existed in its most prime form in this time
of course the propaganda backlash by the press to the anti-communism and reagan, and traditional american led to great movies, like full metal jacket.
the rise of trump is a backlash to that backlash and may lead to different set of movies. but depends on who is able to fund and draw an audience
American Ninja 1 and 2

There's definitely a growing dissatisfaction with cultural marxism, and I've no doubt it'll produce more great great movies.

>no No Retreat, No Surrender
Seriously Van Damme's best fight scenes in his whole career. Second best would be that Tsui Hark one with Rob Schneider and exploding blue jeans.
Also, Sudden Death is one of the best Die Hard ripoffs. Desert Heat is really funny. Universal Soldier: Regeneration is better than the original.
>â–¶snapping necks and taking checks
daily reminder, JCVD takes photos of naked asian boys swimming in the beginning of kick boxer with a creepy pedo grin
is there any other reason to visit southeast asia?
I was kinda impressed with Dragon Eyes.
Fun little 87 minute action movie.
The women aren't too shabby looking either
was JCVD in Breakin' an action movie?
youtube.com
guess thats where he learned to dance like that
This. Jingoistic 80s action flicks were top tier and I miss them.
