positive · AI labelView post →There was a time when Van Damme made genuinely fun, entertaining flicks. I dropped out around the time of Death Warrant, but man... Double Impact was a hell of a good time. So stupid. So good. Seeing Van Damme try to act like a tough gangster guy was hilarious and precious.
positive · AI labelView post →Double Impact (1991) 🎬🖤 Directed by Sheldon Lettich
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: 'Replicant' was Jean-Claude Van Damme's 4th film where he plays a dual role after 'Double Impact' (1991), 'Timecop' (1994), and 'Maximum Risk' (1996). In the same year as ‘Replicant’ he played dual roles for the 5th time as two characters from different time periods in 'The Order'. (IMDB) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →80's action films, which had to include a softcore sex scene with nudity no matter how out of place it would be. Such as Double Impact, where Jean-Claude Van Damme fantasizes about his twin brother fucking his girlfriend in a room with glowing walls, for some reason.
negative · AI labelView post →38. In the Mouth of Madness: Sam Neil goes coo-coo. I liked the crazy pulp-horror visuals 39. Laid to Rest: Nasty slasher film with some impressive effects. Takes itself a little too seriously for my tastes. 40. Double Impact: I should really watch more Van Damme movies. Stupid & fun tho a bit long.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have an unsubstantiated theory that Vice from KOF is a direct result of someone on the SNK team watching Double Impact over the weekend.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the best parts in a Van Damme movie is when they explain why he has the accent. You get two of those scenes in Double Impact! You get two of every JCVD trope. It rules!!

neutral · AI labelView post →One of those weird cosmic coincidences where the JCVD movie Double Impact has some one that looks exactly like Street Fighter's Dan 4 years before the character debuted.

positive · AI labelView post →My worst movie experience: DOUBLE IMPACT w/Jean Claude Van Damme. I had just turned 18 a few months before. Drunk asshole w/a spider web tattoo on his skinny arm was being verbally abusive after some girls told him "shut up," & somehow *I* ended up fighting him & his goon friend in the parking lot.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m on a full Jean Claude Van Damme binge. Kickboxer’s an all time favourite, so I’ve decided to watch every film he’s ever done. Started with Bloodsport and Double Impact! Both are absolute belters. 👌🏻
positive · AI labelView post →Double Impact. That you have had a movie podcast this long without an appearance from Jean Claude Van Damme is a travesty. Show some love for The Muscles from Brussels
neutral · AI labelView post →The more disconnected from the plot the better, since the writers then really have to put the work in to justify it. Just like every great 80s action film. Double Impact springs to mind for me, where it was the dream sequence for a twin brother who thought his girlfriend was cheating on him.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's "new" movie: JCVD plays long-lost twins dragged into avenging their parents murder in DOUBLE IMPACT. It's not one of his good ones. It does however feature THE most caked-up, dummy thicc shots of JCVD in existence. Amazed he made it through the stealth parts undetected. Snake is jealous.
negative · AI labelView post →The cover art of "Jim Power in Mutant Planet" (Amiga/Atari ST/Amstrad CPC) features Jean-Claude Van Damme from the Double Impact movie and the "melting man" from RoboCop. I doubt the traces ends there, but I couldn't identify the rest.
neutral · AI labelView post →JCVD Spoiler: in the movie Double Impact where he plays twins who were separated at a young age they SOMEHOW dont fit in a shot where both of them do the splits at the same time
neutral · AI labelView post →Jean Claude movies typa day so I’m watching Double Impact haven’t watched this movie in years it’s insane how they killed his parents
neutral · AI labelView post →I really need to get around to watching American Ninja, but now after reading that list all I can think of is 80s aerobics class JCVD showing off how proud he is of his Metal Gear Solid-worthy butt in Double Impact. It's oddly mesmerizing, like an earworm in movie form.🤣 bsky.app/profile/almo...
positive · AI labelView post →I know I watched this movie, but I can't remember a thing about it. My guess is that it's no DOUBLE IMPACT. I love that movie!
positive · AI labelView post →Double Impact. It's not just a hit movie from 1991, it's a way to describe the Ottawa double header this weekend. It's the NLL Week 17 Primer. www.sticksinlacrosse.com/post/untitle...
neutral · AI labelView post →tough one. Suggest you consider Double Impact. One movie, twice the Jean-Claude Van Damme.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Double Impact, my first Van Damme movie that wasn’t Street Fighter, and I have to say the action didn’t do it for me. Too much slo-mo, too many cuts, not kinetic enough. You can really see the influence on the Wachowski sisters, which—if you know my opinion on the Matrix—is not a compliment
negative · AI labelView post →Ladies and gentlemen of GenZ and Gen Alpha. Get ready to immerse yourselves in the greatest genre of films ever created The Impossible White Man Movie Commando Die Hard Under Siege 2 (1 is fantastic too) Rocky IV Double Impact
neutral · AI labelView post →We all just pretend that Van Damme wasn’t in banger after banger in the early 90s. Double Impact. Hard Target. Universal Soldier. Timecop. Street Fighter. Sudden Death. But I had forgotten he was in a movie with Dennis Rodman.
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished watching JCVD’s “Double Impact.” I remember seeing it in the movie theaters with my dad. It’s bad but it was oddly re-watchable.
neutral · AI labelView post →We had Double Impact on Beta when I lived in Saudi. I'm pretty sure there was a two or three year stretch in the early 90s where I watched that more times than any other movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Lionheart is a strong Van Damme entry. Bloodsport remains my favorite of his, but this is a great one. I'm also looking forward to hopefully hearing Pete's thoughts on Double Impact. Due to random VHS access at that time, I've seen Double Impact more than any other JCVD movie.
positive · AI labelView post →My father watching Double Impact, the Van Damme movie where he plays twins: "They want us to believe those guys are twins? They don't look like each other at all!"
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm too eager ever since I learned how fun Van Damme can be. Can't believe my first movie I saw with him was Expendables 2. My top 3 right now are Bloodsport, Double Impact, and Lionheart. Really want to watch Hard Target soon.

positive · AI labelView post →Black Eagle and Legionnaire are the only two from 88-98 that I haven’t seen. It’s not the best one, but Double Impact is the most memorably bonkers film, just a weirdo Fever Dream. The kitchen table discussion with kids about his dick in Nowhere to Run is a special moment.

neutral · AI labelView post →The only movie I watched with the theater deserted was Double Impact, the JCVD movie. Well technically, it was my older brother and I, but it was pretty awesome to be an adolescent in a R rated movie
positive · AI labelView post →Blah blah blah JCVD's "Double Impact" is the real DD movie blah blah But seriously...it was pretty mediocre, but at least the Neo Geo Vs. fighting game is actually a fun game. Just another syndrome of how Technos wasn't doing enough quality control for how their brand was portrayed.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw this when it came out. A martial arts friend of mine 'dragged' me along to see it. I thought it was entertaining enough. My brother thought it was rubbish. Running gag with my brother: When evaluating a film, I'll sometimes sum up with, "It was good but it was no Double Impact".
