JCVD is bad even for an action star, not quite Dolph Lundgren bad, but close. It doesn't take much to be a decent actor in an action movie and he couldn't even pull it off. The only movie he did that was even remotely any good was Bloodsport, which is oddly absent from the poll, and it wasn't because of him that it was good.

In all seriousness, Time Cop was crazy good! They even have it in that 90's montage movie ultimate fight scense. You should at least check that one out...and maybe even hard Target.

I have seen almost every one of his movies,  Most are barely passable as an action movie.  I dont think any of them would rank in a best action movie list. Having one scene in a best fights montage isnt that special.   Especially depending on whos montage it was.   

Hell Steven Segal is a better action star than JCVD is.  At least his fight scenes are somewhat memorable.

Not going to argue with peoples opinions, but Van Damme is a legend.

I already saw Assassination Games. 6 out of 10 I'd say.

And those who say he isn't a good actor, go watch Wake of Death, In Hell and JCVD. Man can act just fine...

He also had a TV show few months ago that was very interesting. He seems to have deeply rooted psychological issues though...lol

Steven Segal fight scenes memorable?

Name me a single Segal fight scene more memorable than any Van Damme good fight scene in Lionheart, Bloodsport, Double inpact and penguin kitchen fight Sudden Death.

While liking dumb action movie actors such as Arnold Swarzenegger, Steven Seagal and Sylvester Stallone I never watch a Van Damme movie.

My mother doesn't like him either

One of my favorite actors from back in the day. I still go back and watch some movies. Cyborg FTW!

I like 90s Segals movies but you could take any mean looking dude and have him do what Segal did in those fights. Not saying that Segals style of fighting wasn't effective, just that it isn't attractive to look at.

However no one as as fluid with kicks as Van Damme at the time. Sure, guys like Michal Jai White and Scott Adkins these days have outclassed what Van Damme started but at the time, everyone doing kicks looked like a wooden ragdoll compared to Van Damme.

If you go to the original director of Cyborg's website you may still be able to get a signed copy of Cybor: Directors cut if you hurry! I have his managers personal email. Just hit me up for it.

That is all for now I will update further as I get more news on this legend!


Cyborg is my favorite Van Damme movie, and my favorite action movie of all-time. If it had just 10 minutes more of plot explanation (therefore extending it to a comfy 90 minutes) it would've been perfect!

I would kill for a DVD copy of Cyborg, especially a Director's Cut, and my brother agrees. My family loves Van Damme; his films are not Oscar, but some are real classics.
