      Interesting, I didn’t know about this. I really wish JCVD would have chilled out a little in his career as a whole. He seemed really difficult to work with, barely liked by anyone looking back…and was too much of a diva…he seems to have wanted to be taken as a superstar from the outset. I like him a lot more in his later life.

  • @CalvinMagnusMusic
    @CalvinMagnusMusic 3 роки тому +43

    I always loved how Chad and Alex different character/personalities are discreetly printed in their very distinct fighting styles. Chad is kinda elegant, acrobatic and very focused on technique (favors kicks and jumping strikes), reflecting his excellent martial arts education and comfortable childhood upbringings. Now Alex, is the opposite. He's more like "terrifyingly efficient", like for him every strike is a finisher (favors headbutts, knees/elbows and punches). He's brutal because that's how he learned to be in the streets, where he grew up alone. They're like the Daredevil and the Punisher. Both badasses, each in their own way.

    • @judsongaiden9878
      @judsongaiden9878 3 роки тому

      Alex is more of a "Chad," heh. Also, headbutts don't work IRL. My sensei in Taekwondo taught us that they're malarkey. Well, he didn't phrase it like that, but still.

      @@judsongaiden9878 he doesn't use headbutts in mid-fight, but as a preemptive strike, like a sucker punch. First on Chad, then on the badguy messing with his girl too. A surprise headbutt IRL is much more effective than any "surprise" kick or maybe even punch, cause it's just faster to deliver, very powerful, which interestingly enough also translates to Alex brutal "take-no-chances" mentality.

But it has unique charm about it and Van Damme is able to craft 2 different characters for the twins. It is the first time I believe Van Damme has played dual characters on screen. The tagline is very fitting, one packs a piece, one packs a punch together they deliver Double Impact.🔥🔥🔥👏🍿🍿

We'd nip down to the video shop and get our parents to rent out - for £1, no less - what looked good on the cassette box. Predator, Robocop, Double Impact, Bloodsport, and more. Van Damme's late 80s/early 90s output is just great. I recently rewatched everything, including Universal Soldier, Kickboxer, Timecop, Sudden Death, Lionheart/AWOL etc. Enjoyed every single one, as if I were still 10-years-old. Just a great, muscular epoch of film making.

    One of my favourite Jean Claude Van Damme movies. Watching this review made me go and watch it straight after.

    My favourite classic JCVD movie, second only to Timecop. Awesome review, as always, Oliver! I've been waiting for this one.

    The funniest thing about Double Impact.
    Is Chad and Alex were both raised in different countries.
    Yet they both have the exact same accent.

    Ill always have brilliant memories of watchin' this, along with all the other JCVD films in friends houses in the summers of '92 and '93. We would chip in our pennies to get the 1 punt and 50 pence needed ( old Irish money) to rent the movie that afternoon. The rest of the afternoon would be infront of the Megadrive. I was 12- 13 during that era and it was amazing. I love these retrospectives on gems from certain timelines of life like this, so top full marks to You. 👍👏👏

      Sounds like we had similar childhoods. Almost exactly as you described. Going to a mate's house, watch an 18 on video, play Megadrive or Spectrum games, then nip home for tea. Back out till the street lights came on. Wonderful times.

    Even 30 years ago I was wondering how the character of Bolo in the movie stayed the same and did not age after 25 years

    Been a fan of Van Damm since I was a child. My parents had a copy of Lion Heart on vhs. Watched it all the time.
