Van Damme is starting to look like an old lizard, I really don’t know where Van Damme will end up from here.
i think his old age put a tough guy edge on his once “pretty boy” image.
I guess that is a positive way to look at it.
That’s me top right with Vandamme let me be the first to tell you this movie will kick ass. JCVD is as fit in person as in any of his films, he is not that old his acting is superb and profetionel as you would expect from an action film pioneer and he could easily throw a split kick over your head still. I also had the opportunity to meet Mohammed Quissi while working on this film and work with Grant Bowler, with surprise cameos from a hush hush new break out stars and Keith Parmer a director whos genius and positive vision could not be stifled. The energy on set was Phenomenal with a cast that melded like family. This film is sure to become a cult classic.
