Wake of Death

[Ian Jane]

Robin, get your ass into the Segal thread for more amazingness, though of a decidedly different kind.

And check out In Hell. JCVD is great in that.

Like the Bougieman, I too picked up Wake of Death solely because of this thread and pioneering maniacs. thus i thank thee all.

i ve had it for a year or so and honestly, after watching it a few times with great zeal with my own bad self, its been out on lend to buddies pretty much constantly. conversations usually go something like this..

`what is it- van damme ahhhh come on man he`s so washed up that-`

`shut up. this is different. first of all the lame splitz jumps from timecop have been replaced with brutal back alley head butts.`

`oh ya.... but still, since hard target he hasn`t-`

`shut up. this is different. he can act. do you want to FEEL jc`s pain when simon yam YES SIMON YAM kills his wife. do you wanna see the emotion and believe it. cause you will.`

`hard to believe but of course i-`

`shut up. do you wanna see jcvd in full on vengeance mode in a balaclava infiltrating a triad friendly brothel with a shotgun and blowing motherfuckers away in a fury.`

usually that s enough of a sale but i m always very prepared to go on and on from there. no bad feed back on it from my hype ups yet either.

wake of death is by far my favorite van dammer. the gun play is great. van damme does his best acting ever. and oh that KNIFE FIGHT on the boat between van damme`s mob buddy and the triad henchman is awesome! so brutal. perhaps better than the knife fight in freidkin`s the hunted. and when the older french mobsters get into the drill torture... its like woah this is a serious hardass revenge flick.

i did like in hell despite ultra lame cribbing from lord of the rings of all things. i really would like to see until death and admit i havent seen the quest. those are on the to be grabbed up list. replicant honestly i found painful. just kinda silly. i have purchased JCVD just havent gotten to it yet.... but as of now Wake of Death bears the crown for van dammers imo. its great.
