So, 2008 was officially the year of the 80s comebacks… Robert Downey Jr, Mickey Rourke, Flannel… JCVD, an acronym for Jean Claude Van Damme became a cult hit and a film fest darling and is finally on DVD!!! What makes this movie so special is you don’t know where Jean Claude Van Damme’s real persona begins and ends as he plays himself, caught up in a Tarantino-esque bank heist situation, while dealing with a custody battle, while contending with his rival Stevan Segal who is after the same movie role he is. I lament the fact that there is no Jean Claude commentary on this badboy dvd, but that’s aiit. Can’t hate on him cuz this movie kills kills kills. Watch out for the insanely long existential monologue where he waxes poetic about life and celebrity. I like Jean Claude acting in french waaaay better than when he busts out his english steeze. This movie makes me want to put on bicycle shorts and do Tae Kwon Do kicks in the air. This movie is the muscles from Brussels comeback film, and now he’s working on BLOODSPORT 2.
