      When we talked about those times

      As a semi-autobiographical movie of action martial arts star, the whole film is not as amazing as the four. As the film said, he is very easy-going, he is an ordinary person, but the plain behind reveals sadness and loneliness.

      The film uses a multi-angle narrative approach, with distinctive characters and different characters, and the style of painting is also quite European. The style of painting is also quite European. The self-deprecating monologue in the middle is commendable and...

      old

      Uncle Yunton is obviously old, although the muscles are still so good, but there are more wrinkles.

      The beginning of the story is a lonely hero who rescues the hostages in a rain of bullets, only to find that it is just a fragment of a movie.

      He lost the custody of his daughter. He had no money. He returned to his hometown of Belgium and was involved in a bank robbery. In the end, the only robber with a conscience, Arthur, died under the gun of the police. Arthur also likes...

      The Year of the Action Star

      If Bruce Lee is the pride of the Chinese, then Shange Yunton must be the idol of the Belgian. Although the two have not truly become box office champions in Hollywood, they will still be loved and sought after by the people of their own countries. Although "Shangge Yundun" is only a movie of the same name by Shangge Yundun, it is more like a real-life autobiography film of Shange Yundun himself, telling the current life of a violent action star.

      Shangge Yundun has been in Hollywood...

      The troubles of middle-aged men

      He has been brilliant, and now there is only a sad back.
      The economy is going bankrupt, the struggle for guardianship of the daughter is at a disadvantage, the lawyers are demanding legal fees, and there are even no trusted friends around, which is too desolate.
      When people are unlucky, they drink cold water and get stuck in their teeth. When they go to the post office to withdraw money and encounter a robbery, they are regarded as the mastermind. They are simply Dou E in the new...

Of course, this kind of gameplay is not the newest, and even the level of spoofing is not as good as the "Becoming Markovich", which can be said to be a gem of the past.

      However, the spearhead of this "Shanger...

      The recent Volvo commercial has made Jean-Vinet on fire again, but Van Damme's inner world may be a little more reflected in this JCVD. The ups and downs of the life of the veteran action stars may be photographed in ups and downs, but just like the resolute face of a tough guy, what pure men want is this kind of...

      Jean-François Winton, a Belgian and a karate champion, sold his martial arts gym to develop in the United States. He worked hard for many years. He was famous, rich, drug addict, addicted to sensuality. After many years, he looked back at his life. It's too late for a hero to quit drugs again. The movie describes that he wanted to go back to his hometown to recuperate, but was caught in a robbery case... Except for Arnold, all the action stars seemed to be unsatisfactory. Arnold is also...

    Evaluation action

    jean-claude van damme plays jean-claude van damme, and it is not a documentary yet, which itself is a bit joke and ironic. However, this "I am jean-claude van damme" is clearly aimed at the film production industry more directly, no matter it is the Asian director at the beginning, the middle stage teases Wu Yusen through the mouth of fans and gangsters, Steven West The jokes and jean-claude van damme's hypocritical monologue in the...

    Movie quotes

    • Policier: Central to Unit 27. Jean-Claude Van Damme's robbing a post office. I need back-up.

    • JCVD: [out of breath] It's very difficult for me to do everything in one shot, you know? I'm 47 years old!

    • JCVD: Once in the film "Hard Target", I took a shot from a blank. It took salts to reanimate me.

      Arthur: "Hard Target"! John Woo! What an ass!

      JCVD: Don't say that!

      Arthur: C'mon, Jean-Claude, wait a sec!

      [to the hostages, referring to Van Damme]

      Arthur: He's the one who brought him to the US. Without him, he'd still be filming pigeons in Hong Kong!

      [to Van Damme]

      Arthur: And then what? He drops you!

      JCVD: At least, he did "Face/Off".

      Arthur: So what? He could've picked you!

      JCVD: Yeah... yeah.

      Arthur: On the other hand, when you see "Windtalkers", there's a justice... Got any new projects?

      JCVD: Not for now.

      Arthur: I saw a thing on the web, what's it called? P-P-Pu-Plur...

      JCVD: Purple. "Purple Amulet".

      Arthur: What about it?

      JCVD: Steven Seagal got the part.

      Arthur: What?

      JCVD: Steven Seagal got the part.

      Arthur: Steven Seagal? You're ten times better!

      JCVD: Well, he cut off his couette.

      Arthur: His what?

      JCVD: His couette. His ponytail. For the first time!

      Arthur: Oh, I see... That's a tough one...
