What can I say? I was a big time Van Damme fan back in the day. If you graduated high school around 1996, you know what I mean... and some guilty pleasures die hard. This was one of my favorites of his because it's just good fun. I had to order it for the nostalgia and because I get on these kicks now and then. Sometimes it's old James Bond flicks... and sometimes it's Van Damme-age. And come on... 2 x Van Damme?? What else do you need? Three would just be stupid!

For this blu-ray edition, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the video quality for such an old, for-fans-only, title. Picture is sharp as all h-e-double hockey sticks, with very vibrant colors, punchy contrast, and pretty good detail. I only wish it had true 5.1 sound, but luckily my HT receiver decoded it using Neo 6, which makes good use of my surround setup despite the disc's advertised 2.0 audio. Specs aside, it sounds fine.

Van Damme/Double Impact fans rejoice!

I remember this one like it was yesterday; one of the earliest Van Damme vehicles that actually involved something approaching a modest budget (well, they total two Mercedes in one scene) and a script!
What this film did right was the inclusion of multiple villains, necessary not only because there are two Van Dammes, but because all of the classic martial arts films involved many enemies as well. Recurring VD villains include Peter Malota (the Spanish fighter in later film "The Quest"), whose blue-lit kickboxing scene with Jean-Claude is one of the best in recent memory, and famed "Enter The Dragon" baddie (and longtime martial arts staple) Bolo Yeung.
It helps that Van Damme also has veteran character actor Geoffrey Lewis on board; that kind of gruff, Sam Elliott presence makes up for a lot of acting acumen that is lacking in the rest of the cast. Peter Scarfe stars as the embodiment of evil, and Alonna Shaw as the embodiment.
The pacing is good; the script has some howlers, and the shooting locations are to die for. Look for a very early cameo by Julie Strain!

While I realize it may be hard for most people to stomach Jean-Claude Van Damme, in this movie you get two of him. Granted it's JCVD playing two different characters in the vein of Parent Trap or Multiplicity, but he somehow manages to play two different characters well enough to make me suspend my disbelief. The movie looks like it is from the 80's even though it was made in 1991, it has odd hair styles and costume design that was prominent in 1980's cinema. As expected, there are lots of hand to hand combat scenes which are well shot, as is most of the movie. This movie was primarily shot on location in Hong Kong and at times this movie looks brilliant. Some of the acting is cheese but the main actors do a solid job, particularly Geoffrey Lewis who plays out one of his best performances to date. This movie has an awesome sex scene with female nudity, great action with hand to hand combat and gun shoot outs, as well as a foot chase (something most films don't do enough of anymore) and really stands out as an amazing 1990's B grade action film. I realize this isn't classic cinema or art, but this movie is at the other end of the spectrum of film and is as equally important, it's pure escapism and entertainment. Seeing a naked hot chick, dudes get scissor kicked in the chest, and people shot in the face by TWO Jean-Claude Van Dammes in Hong Kong, is a great way to spend two hours forgetting about how much real life is a disappointment. On Blu-Ray this movie looks better than its previous iterations on VHS and DVD. Film grain is kept and the transfer is otherwise pretty clean. There are some muddy and soft edges here and there, but the detail is great and sharp and this is probably the best this film will ever look as I don't see Criterion adding this to their catalog or anyone re-mastering restoring the original negative at any point in time.

Standard actioner for Van Damme finds him traveling to Hong Kong to meet his twin brother (whom he had been unaware of) in order to settle his father's estate--but the brother named Alex is involved with a dangerous gang known as the Triad, and all hell breaks loose thereafter! One remarkable thing about this picture is that Van Damme is pretty good playing a tough/angry guy alongside a more sensitive, upbeat kind of guy--this film alone proves that the man can act, despite what people may think (to be honest, I was quite shocked as to how it felt like two different people playing these parts!). Sheldon Lettich was probably Van Damme's best director (alongside Peter Hyams) and this positive collaboration is shining brightly here, plus Bolo Yeung is on board to play another vicious heavy.
MGM's Blu-Ray transfer is rather disappointing and quite VHS-quality in fact. I really thought it would be worthwhile to upgrade this one on Blu, but really there is not much difference sadly. If you own the DVD, you're good. C+

If you don't like this movie, you don't like ACTION flicks! Plus gun combat and plenty of attitude. Too many sweet moves to count, some popular faces and even a couple pro bodybuilders! You'll love this one!

Nearly 25 years after seeing his father killed by Hong Kong crime boss Raymond Zhang (Philip Chan Yan Kin), Chad Wagner (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is living in Los Angeles as a flourishing yet peaceful martial arts trainer. But Chad has a twin brother, Alex (also Van Damme), who suddenly reunites with his less-aggressive sibling and wants to avenge their father's death. As the pair plan their payback against Zhang, they also struggle to overcome their personal differences.
