Jean-Claude-Van-Damme Movie Reviews

I bought this video as a joke. However, the joke was on me when I was forced to watch it with the recipient. Unfortunately, this movie was NOT what I expected it to be. In another aspect, IT WAS WORSE. Not only does the movie steal from other movies, but its choppy, inconsistent in its scenes, and all together BAD. If I was in a movie theater I would have demanded a refund, and some TUMS, for the sour feeling in my stomach.

The only good part of this movie is when juan claud grabbed the guy in the pants. over all it was pretty stupid. very bad sound effects for the kicks.

its a jean claude van damme movie. it cant be bad.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie, my friend told me he saw a new Van Damme flick in the video store titled 'Derailed'. I am a Van Damme Fan, but after getting this film on DVD it hit me like a book it was horrible! It was pathetic....it SUCKED! I own Under Seige 2 and I liked it, there is NO COMPARISON. What hurt the most is how happy I was when I got the DVD, and how much I was looking foward to seeing it before and after I got it.

Derailed is the worst Van Damme movie AND the worst MOVIE I have ever seen and yes I am also a Van Damme fan.

Jean really stuffed up BIG TIME with this flick.

On another note, Van Damme's son starred in this movie aswell, he is a good lookin' kid, has his fathers good looks and skills.
Jean should be ashamed of himself! Putting his son in a terrible first flick like this.

0 star film:-
EXTREMELY OVER-RATED BY THE LOOK OF THE DVD/VIDEO COVER.
DONT BE FOOLED.

In conclusion, dont even pick up or look at the packet if you see it in a store.

Van Damme's most recent effort has a plot similar to UNDER SIEGE 2 and BROKEN ARROW which is scripted by B action film maker Boaz Davidson, the man responsible for such hilariously awful garbage as AMERICAN CYBORG.
Van Damme plays Agent Jacques Kristoff, who is assigned to escort gorgeous thief Golina Kostantin (Laura Elena Harring from JOHN Q) from Slovakia to Eastern Europe by train. Coincidentally, on board the train is a deadly biological weapon. After the train's first stop terrorists; led by the sadistic Mason Cole (Thomas Arana from GLADIATOR) board with the goal of finding and stealing the vial containing the deadly virus. What they plan to use it for is anyone's guess.
Now for coincidence #2: Among the train's passengers are Kristoff's wife and son. Things really start getting heavy when the virus is let loose throughout the train thanks to the bunglings of one of the terrorists. The leader lets him off lightly though: the culprit is promptly shot through the head, as all nasty terrorists types are wont to do. But as we all know by now, you don't mess with Jean-Claude. Especially when his family is involved. Butt-kicking time.
The movie starts starts OK, but soon derails itself. The addition of unconvincing minature setpieces and an overall air of stupidity make DERAILED about as explosive as a Bay City Rollers reunion. This movie looks and feels no different to any of the other direct to video actioners with stars like Michael Dudikoff and Jeff Speakman. DERAILED is a pretty anemic effort, but not Jean-Claude's worst: NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER and CYBORG are both tied for that dubious honor, but if like myself you're a Van Damme completist you'll want to watch it anyway. Don't say you weren't forewarned.
Extras include a behind the scenes featurette, trailers and subtitles in English and Hindi.

Van Damme has had some great action flicks in his time and i'm sad to say that his movies seem to be getting worse and worse as the years go on. Yet i still put faith in the man to turn out another great movie.
Derailed is about 1hr and 20 mins of Van Damme kicks and explosions. Although this movie wasn't as good as i hoped it's still worth checking out. The idea behind the movie is great for a Van Damme action vehicle yet it needed some more fight scenes and better special effects. The special effects were so bad i actually started laughing, and i'm not kidding. That was part of the fun of the movie though. If you're a Van Damme fan i think you'll enjoy this movie, and if your not still check it out, it's still entertaining.

Jean Claude has done some great things in the past such as "Bloodsport" and "The quest",but these movies are down right horrible for the simple fact that HE DOESN'T DILIVER THE GOODS! "Hard Target" has 1 mediocre fight in the street where he has some im practical moves and breaks a mans arm backwards tryin very hard to make sure it looks like styrophome instead of grossing people out with a real looking arm. The movie was dumb but the action gave it a star.

StreetFighter is the worst ever. There are no fight scenes, there are a couple of silly undamageing moves at the end but Im dead serious that this movie about 16 fighters getting together to fight has no fight scenes! Every time somone gets ready to fight the other guy(s) run away. or they will cut to an off camera angle and you see a body fall down without getting hit. you just have to guess what happened. There are lots of times when a fight would have been appropriate if not needed to keep teh story going but NOOO! there are no fights until the end when there are a couple stupid attacks that dont even qulify as martial arts! (the very skinny M. Bison flying at guile and knocking Guile down, Guile does a back flip and his rear foot hits bison, these do the appropriate amount of damage (next to none)) Bison eventually crashes into a computer and is electricuted to death. all the charicter have differant personalities than those assinghed by the video game (good guys work for bison and bisons henchman are suddenly on guiles team.) ken and ryu look nothing like their assighned parts, and out of all the "All American" soldiers could speak english well enough to be understood. I'll give two stars to hard target but steetfighter is is only good as a blank tape to record over.

pretty meaningless movie starring van Damme...his acting is terrible and his fighting doesn't make up for it either.... not a very good movie all together...better skip this one....only for die hard van Damme fans!
