Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kickboxer or Hoax?

[bananaeyes]

i dont know about his career, but the movie JCVD is fucking awesome. His monologue showed how far his acting ability has come along. I like the guy

[NOAHMZ1]

Man JCVD was my hero growing up! not one of you can say when you were a kid in that era that Kickboxer, blood sport, lion heart, death warrant, The quest, double impact, didnt make you wanna learn karate. Man those movies bring back so many memories!! JCVD is forever a bad ass in my book. Who can forget Tong Po, or Chong Le!! LOL!! Blood sport was actually the first MMA movie if you think about it. Now that I have just learned that he has an actual resume makes his classic flicks even better!!!

Wang Fu, that story is half wrote by Zito.
Zito is a bitch who literally profits from gangs, murder and rape.
Fuck that scumbag, he should be in jail.

[prodigybest]

Wow his record looks good

[Jesus X]

war blood sport! blood sport actually inspired me to take up taekwondo and even inspired me as a boxer when I was a kid.
Jackson: Time to separate the men from the boys.
Victor: Just be sure Chong Li doesn't separate your head from your body.

Chong Li: Very good. But brick not hit back!

Frank Dux: Shingo and I were close friends. Brothers. And you and Mrs. Tanaka have treated me like a son. What will happen now?
Tanaka: No more training. Stop now.
Frank Dux: [shakes his head] But you have so much to teach.
Tanaka: You don't understand. During the war, I lost my first family. My son, daughter, and wife. I left Japan because of the war. War was wrong. I came to America to start over, to have a new family, and a son. For 2,000 the teachings passed, father to son, father to son. When Shingo died, it stopped.
Frank Dux: Teach me. I can do it.
Tanaka: You are not Japanese! You are not a Tanaka!
Frank Dux: You told me to use any tactic that works, never to commit yourself to one style, to keep an open mind!
Tanaka: Why?
Frank Dux: To honor you, shidoshi.

Zito's a sucker punching bitch.

Just putting the story out so no one claims he was beat by some punk. He was and probably still is a great fighter. Zito did sucker punk him or has he put it "not give him a chance". Van Damme was very drunk.

For all those who don't know Zito, find some old UFC footage and look for the guy in Zubaz pants and hand cut tank tops... Guy came down to "tha shore" all the time, was a funny character.

whats your guys favourite van damme flick?

Mines either Bloodsport, Kickboxer, JCVD, or Replicant. All are fucking awesome.

Apparently not. Witnesses saw Zito hit the action star with a one-two combination.

"It was a right hand and a left hook," said a source. "He went over, chair and all, boom," Zito admitted. Surprised onlookers then saw Van Damme curl up like a roly-poly bug and remain in fetal position on the floor, as Zito stood over him and urged him to get up. Rourke came running over and broke up the fight, and hurried Van Damme out of the club.

"If I weren't there," Rourke said yesterday on location for "Stand Up Tragedy," in which he plays a priest, "Chuck would have killed him."

Van Damme could not be reached. But Zito allowed him this: "The guy is pretty good with his feet. He just didn't get a chance to use them."

OK, so Zito basically ADMITS that he is a sucker punching pussy because he was afraid of Van Damme's kicking.
