	Jean-Claude Van Damme - martial artist and actor
		Van Damme began martial arts at the age of 10, enrolled by his father in a shotokan karate school.[1] He eventually earned his fl belt in karate,[2] later winning the European Professional Karate Association's middleweight championship[1] (although he has claimed that he was "twice world champion"[3]).
		Van Damme was tired of Seagal saying he could kick his ass and went right up to him and offered him the chance to step outside so he could wipe the floor with him, or should I say wipe the backyard with him.
		Van Damme was scheduled to play the part of the camouflaged extraterrestrial monster in the Arnold Schwarzenegger action film Predator, but wearing the heavy alien costume in the jungle was too difficult, and Van Damme, unhappy with his role, left the production.

		JCVD - That is it, but remember -- you better have all the other pieces of the puzzle in place at the same time.

		Van Damme seems to want to make films which are realistic, gritty and act well in them but the way he chooses to play the character is very strange.
		However, the action is swift and flowing and well directed and though there are not too many high kicks because Van Damme is playing a war-torn soldier and it would not suit his character, a few trademark kicks are thrown in to please the fans.
		this very enjoyable jean claude van damme movie he is playing a combat vet who just spent the last 3 years fighting in afghanistan and iraq the action scenes are better than his last movie.acting is good a lot more martial arts oriented good action over all must see for van damme fans.

		The opening section unwisely tries Van Damme's hand at knockabout humor with partner Rob Schneider but merely proves that the star is severely lacking the sort of humorous touch that Arnold Schwarzenegger has so successfully utilized.
		The bringing of Rob Schneider and JCVD to one movie might have seemed like a bad idea at first, but they really pulled it off, this movie was one of the funnest movies I ever seen JVCD played in, it still is an action just like all his other movies.
		I have followed his career (Van Damme's)since the 80's when he used to appear on the "Arsenio Hall Show" but this is film that was made in order to generate huge dollars, failed big.
