I've been recently watching his movies. They pretty much all fall into that "So bad it's good" camp. Timecop was legitimately a pretty decent movie, and bloodsport is just so over the top that it's awesome especially as a fan of MMA. Also, hard target, just hilariously bad and super fun movie with some ridiculous scenes. Also he does a split in like every movie and it's great

    I used to fucking worship the muscles from Brussels as a kid. My goddamn handle for a time was "Jean Claude slam and bamme" The gates have well rusted over at this point, but there was one year mid highschool I practically dedicated my life to being able to perform a perfect bloodsport style spinning split kick and by God in early college it was worth it as a party trick. Even funnier considering I was super heavy at the time so when I told people I could do it they were convinced my body couldn't possibly be aerodynamic enough.

    So yeah: thank you Jean Claude van Damme for being awesome.
