Jean-Claude Van Damme Reveals Why He Left ‘Predator’ | Heat Vision 

For sure these days they force females to take lead roles for the sake of butchering their plot (Terminator Dark Fate). In comparison look at Double Impact, that blonde chick.. wohooo..

@@islandcactus1508 feminism is ruining the world

You right but movies from them times are just classics nothing beats that nostalgic feeling makes you want to be there!

did you ever watch Clint Eastwood's movies?

Thats right babyy

very true. No other generation would understand.

Tot agree with you I loved watching bloodsport kickboxer and AWOL early nineties where class 👍 I try his round house kick end up busting my back as a kid lol

Tweekend27: If you are ever attacked by an imaginary opponent, you'll be well-prepared.

After watching timecop, he was my inspiration to jump off my moms roof and into a time portal. I didn't quite think it out.

Cyborg and Bloodsport👍

And Sly Stallone

right in other words he's not a Dick, yeah OL vanDamme is a very cool Gent

me it was lionheart and kickboxer ^^

DaxamusPrime That’s cause you jizzed all over it. Infatuation with Hollyjoo pretty boy martial artists aren’t ya?!

LOL😊

@leila lalala lol dont get angry for that , even Daxamus did not waste time on him . in fact Scarletball said that to see if he could find somebody like him that jizz all over it. Infatuate with hollyjoo pretty boy martial artists.....it was strategic because as he stand alone with his fantasies he feel lonely.....

He speak francis

did you know "cyborg" was meant to be a sequel to He-Man and the Masters of the universe? it got so skewed it turned into Cyborg. I wanted to know more but unfortunately, 8 minutes isn't enough to ask a million questions.

All the greats you just mentioned ;)

@@swanclipper just found out after I watched a couple days ago

Sudin deth

@@megatronl9922 Hell yeah I forgot about that one!! Classic

100% agree he has a big fanbase I'm suprised he doesn't get more love in Hollywood like the other old timer action stars do, he does come out with a great movie every now and then like JCVD or Expendables 2 and even had his own tv show on amazon prime but sadly it didn't get picked up for a second season. would be nice if he could get himself into a big Hollywood production again .We Die Young had some buzz did also those kickboxer remakes weren't too shabby .But it would be nice if he could get a nice solid role in a big blockbuster action movie becuase the guy totally deserves it , He has worked hard all his life and his love for cinema runs deep I was a big fan of him growing up and I still am man JCVD forever!!!!!

@@jasonarnold9864 :) God bless you. God bless Van Damme.

I have always thought that Van Damme would do a better job in those action films starred by Steven Seagal and Bruce Willis

@@jackprescott9652 and two guys who are real jerks

I heard he received no offers after converting to İslam.

Exactly.....you wrote what I wanted to write. Now I dont need too👍

Haha.no 1 sed anything..u must know it's bad.but let's be honest we all react like that wen we admit we like van dam

I think everybody likes TC a little bit lol

I like when he kicked that guys arm off 😂

I love Timecop! Definitely my favorite Van Damme movie. 2nd is Hard Target.

Who didn't like TIMECOP?

yeah there is too many awkward interviewers who screw it up.. why i dont know

nadz yea Yeah great interviewer respectful and good willed

JCVD also liked him

I think he is to hyperactive, but the questions are good.

He keeps it simple, professional, and fun- just like it should always be!

Genius Marc Says A fucking wifebeater

It's not even worth comparing these two. Van Damme is a legend who actually enjoys his life. Seagal is no talent piece of shit always hating other people cause he knows he sucks. Probably the most insecure "actor" in hollywood ever.

Yes very chill more articulate than i expected from someone known for physical

YES! Holy Shit I was thinking the same thing! I was just watching some Steven Seagal interviews before this and he was so damn arrogant and a huge asshole insulting JCVD and Chuck Norris and other martial artists. I thought martial artists are support to respect other martial artists. Seagal is a d-bag when interviewing. I like his acting but he's not the best that he thinks he is.

Yeah, he actually has self-awareness and seems to have matured over the years (including poking fun at himself in that Netflix series).

WaterMonStar martial

MsKingS6, hahaha thanks

WaterMonStar you‘re welcome :)

no one can ever replace them ? Hollywood can and will

that's life.. we all grow old, or die young (wink wink)

from the chinese

OMG! I just checked this was various other sources and I learned something else cool about this guy!! The fact I had to dig a little to find this out means JCVD also is pretty modest about it as well, very classy in my opinion!

Had no idea. Thank you!

I think Mickey rourke does it too. I know hes done it in Romania.

And Brad Pitt. In fact he came to Argentina in 1997 while filming some scenes for Seven Years in Tibet and several people were talking about his love for dogs, he rescued dogs from the streets he fed them took care of them and finally he gave them for adoption to fans. It is said he kept some of these dogs as well lol. True story.

Don't forget about double impact that was a hell of a movie 2

I still say that nothing beats his performance in No Retreat No Surrender. Character. Intensity. Unsurpassed delivery of dialogue! It was always going to be downhill from there.

"I want my money's worth!"

Loved him in Expendables 2.

@@misterj9489 double impact. damn right !!!

Me neither but those Roundtable videos are really interesting.

simply because he is not the usual mainstream polished moron... he is raw, wysiwyg type of guy.

Not Tong Po, TIGER TONG PO!!!!😂😂🤣

Tong Po would whip your ass. I want to fight Fender from Cyborg.

Thank You :)

Thank you m8.

vishal Sharma Thank you!

Nice one, thanks.

Jeffrey P Yh its a shame he aged so horriby because of drugs he would look much younger if he hadnt used stuff like that

@deenman23 , Arnold and Van Damme were the few exceptions where my generally intolerant country of the US, did not care about accents and were impressed by said actors sheer talent and charisma. Hell! Arnold was even Governor of my home state of California and didn't do too horrible a job, aside from allowing parents to not vaccinate their children, he treated our Vets really good and did a lot to help promote and honor them. Comparing these two guys to prostitutes is an injustice. They came to the US with virtually nothing and became icons, who were adopted by the US and became as "American as apple pie". I could give a shit if they have accents, it does not diminish their achievements in film, athletics and politics.

Jeffrey P I’ve heard that about him in the past

from my understanding van damme was only into drugs for a short time, i dont think that has much to do with his aging, much more likely to be genetics....

maybe it's just his personality but the way Van Damme's mannerisms and talkative nature... it seems like he's experiencing a little more euphoria here than someone on a base level or sober. Of course, Van Damme probably just really loves the spotlight and enjoys conversation and is very hyperactive when these moments arise. So it can simply be his nature... but this is also how it is when you're high on something like coke or even alcohol.

Jean-Claude, Stallone, Arnold.. but who would be the 4th standing amongst them? For me it is Jackie Chan hands down, but I could see Dolph Lundgren taking that spot although he was the villain a lot, or maybe Bruce Willis? Hold on, lets get crazy- Steven Seagull(lol)? and then what about Chuck Norris? whats your mount-Rushmore of the 90ties??

Igetmoney Steven Seagul is too arrogant, he doesn't have the charisma.

Igetmoney Chuck Norris all the way. He’s number 1 at some points. Others he’s 4th. But chuck is the man.

@Roborav ignorants on your part 😒

@@AMx187 Jackie Chan.

Street Fighter will always be my favourite.

@@pferreira1983 I missed that one out for a reason lol 😉

@@stonedbatman2067 Oh well it's your choice.

You forgot Lionheart!!

Also Lionheart!

winslow wong no offense to Van Damme but when he's not smiling he looks like a movie villain. Once he smiles he warms up a bit. I really don't know anything about this guy other than the fact that he was in the expendables which is what brought me here. Anyway he has that intimidating vibe about him at first glance, again nothing against this guy just the way I see it

WatersOfLife 101 you’ve never seen bloodsport and double impact?

@@watersoflife1013 Check out No Surrender No Retreat, it's a crappy movie but Van Damme is a top notch villain in that.

@@winslowwong9719 He plays the Hero in Bloodsport.

@@jackprescott9652 the first comment was saying they’d only seen van damme in the expendables

Hell yea the best movies ever

yeah the one with Bruce Lee's ghost training the main character fucking 80s and 90s gotta love it

No Retreat No Surrender was the first movie I saw him in. He was the villain in that movie and even on the trailer it said "Introducing Jean Claude Van Dam." Even though he was the villain in the movie he was the star for me

@@mikedlc9766 And they picked the guy who out of all of China looked the least like Bruce Lee! 😂😂😂

Krashinski!!!!!

Yeah he really let Jean tell the story.

Yeah, agreed, he let him talk and didn't try to get too clever.

Dude asked the right questions for sure.

quanah they should cast him in rush hour 4 as the main villain!

he's the least humble guy.. xD but thats why i like him, he's positivly nuts

Yeah, it was great seeing him with Stallone in Expendables.

I agree. Now he's doing Tostitos commercials..

Best actor

When i played mk1 i really though liu kang was Bolo Sze not Ho sung pak

I was hoping the guy would asked Van Damme about wither or not if it was true that he was licence to Sega which prevented Midway from making the Van Damme fighting game.

Yeah blood sport He does the splits and groin shots that guy just like Johnny cage.

I really don't remember what came out 1st mortal kombat or blood sport the movie

@@thebruce9299 Bloodsport came out first.

Damn

Give me it

Damn girl!

You forgot Cyborg.

Don't forget lion heart

universal soldier was good

Ulster Man : As a belgian : He was an embarasment.! AND, to piss you off... The R.A RULES.!!

@@explosivefreak666 the R.A also surrendered

Awol was good too.

@micky vegan Yup, seems like a super chill dude and someone you'd have a beer with. Also, I'm still hoping for a Time Cop sequel at some point (and no I don't count that weird TV show lol).

no bloodsport? wtf

@@LordLOC there was a timecop 2 .... nobody seen it incl me

good picks, his 1992 - 1996 era was the best-fantastic movies (excluding the quest and streetfighter which were lame)

Same goes for James Bond(AKA Sean Connery) He was a professional bodybuilder and won a mister universe contest in 53 before going on to play bond in doctor no in 62.

@@Riley_1955 even arnold Schwarzenegger was a professional bodybuilder

Lol, literally the opposite of humble.

Sajid Rahman - Jackie Chan is even more humbler. Haha

I first began to watch jcvd on my vcr then as tech progressed i watched jcvd on dvd whilst dring g&t

Humble now. Back in the day he was in love with himself. So arrogant

Ehhhh i Don't think humble. You should see the interview he did recently with Collider Podcast....yeah, I think that'll change your mind

Loved that as a kid too. Didnt realize it was van damme at the time. Also no retreat no surrender was another movie before i saw bloodsport.

Cyborg is nowhere near as good as Bloodsport, Double Impact, Lionheart, Kickboxer or Hard Target. Imo of course.

Cyborg was one of my favorites.

lion heart is a most memorable movie for me

Lion heart!!

bigboy9964 Jedi master

he does look like a buff Mark Hamill. not sure about the accent though.

That's awesome idea

He'd be the only Jedi Knight who didn't fight with a light saber. :)

@@taekwondotime Lol when he ditches the light saber you know shit is getting real.

STR8 UP THE REAL STREET FIGHTER STYLE MOVIE... AND CYBORG WAS THE SHIT TOO

Finally...I had a similar comment...finally someone else acknowledges this martial arts masterpiece!

I am a woman but sharing the same 👍

Shut up u muppets

@@jadev-a7563 how much?

@@eastwood7921 I am 44 and been following his career since I was 14. Been practising so humbly. 😊

Icecream Inc : No, he isn't.! He play's that role but he's actually a fucking cunt of a human.! Some odd years ago, when vissiting Belgium again, he was regcognised late at night at a gas station... The Guy's just wantd his authograph, yet het started cursing at them using really offencive words;! Then he left.!

deenman23 : As a belgian myself, I guess JC VD is a bit of a Dumbass.!

Satilla gtr : Neh, I heard storys of him BEFORE he left to the US, and he was a cunt éven then.!.. Some peops are just born as assholes.!!

@deenman23 wow what a hater. You sound like a idiot

@deenman23 A jealous hater.. lol why would u wanna hide your accent anyway? A lame like you

@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan Perhaps a coke then.

Good one.

yeah, was thinking the same

No he just doesn't use drugs like he did back in the day

Charles Dinkins he uses

James Jenkins a friend worked on jcvd last film..he was using and asking my friends,friend to get him coke and " chocks" for sex.and jcvd got all bent out of shape when the other refused.it was in Thailand. Look at his face.hes still using!!

James Jenkins what part of your brain are you missing? Read my comment again.

I never watch these hollywood/entertainment channels, but for Jean-Claude I make the exception.

I didn’t know that

Thanks for posting that.

🤢 Zero care for his humanitarian ventures just the dog. Sums up the lower levels of the human race

@@markperry2827 Humans are a cancer.

I thought he was a gymnast and the Martial Arts claims were never proved?

@@chavvyboy69 It's proven. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Claude_Van_Damme#Early_1970s_to_1980:_Martial_arts_and_first_film_appearance

I'm glad you had a good experience, so many people said he was an ass

Old School Yeah, I sure did have a good experience, my friend. It's strange, I think a lot of those rumors are just that, rumors. Now, the man probably has a temper, but what normal person doesn't get angry or annoyed on occasion. The man might have got angry in front of some people on set, and it went from a normal annoyance, to the guy is a jerk all the time.

@@RumbleFish69One dude was talking about him hitting on his wife like he wasn't even there, but again, different people have different interactions I enjoy most of his movies all the same, especially Bloodsport, The Quest, and Timecop

@@ComicBookGuy420 Well, the rumor is that the man was kind of a lady-hound. Still, I will concede that if he actually did that, it'd be pretty messed up. I am sure that JCVD might have his own, different version, if he even recalls that event at all. But you're right, people will have different interactions for sure.

@@RumbleFish69 again, different people, different interactions, personally I enjoy his older movies, even as bad as street fighter was Glad when you met him he was good people

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@bee boo like you haven't made any mistakes?

true.

"Every great man should live long enough to become humble and gracious" - Is that one yours? Dude, I love it!

Check out 'Second in Command'. This might have been the first 'B' movie I saw of his and it was amazing!

Bruce Campbell is the king of b movies

Van damme siempre con su estilo de hablar tan unico

It was a good movie but very low budget

action is gd, but story line seems weak

I like the death. I like the misery. I like this wooooorld!!!

Actually my second favourite of his ... behind Bloodsport of course. I thought Fender was BADASS :-). Shout out to Lionheart as well :-D

I got dvd Awesome movie

Universal Soldier still holds up.

@Methods Look for something..... something hard 🤦‍♂️🤣👍 quality I probably butchered that, i apologise.
