As L.L. Cool J famously rapped, ‘Don’t call it a come-back. I’ve been here for years’. So too has Jean-Claude Van Damme. Once a world famous action star, now more of a straight to video action star, he’s managed to stay working, but not at the level that we once remember. To everyone’s surprise, however, he’s just made a movie that’s being taken seriouslyFor the newest and youngest of action movie fans: World-famous action hero, Jean-Claude Van Damme, has been in almost 40 movies.

He was 11 years old when he began training in martial arts, but retired from active competition to acquire a movie career. He left with an impressive 18-1 (18 knockouts) record.Van Damme is known for his impressive physique, as well as being muscular and handsome.In verging on each Van Damme film, he executes an unbelievable split. The action heroes he usually portrays have a softer character than those portrayed by Schwarzenegger or Stallone. Van Damme’s worldwide appeal is unchallenged, yet he never achieved the coveted blockbuster status in America.

The new movie is titled JCVD, which in case you don’t know, are his initials. The movie stars the former action star as himself, or a fictionalized version at least. The movie satirizes his persona while also managing to be an insightful character study. And apparently, Jean-Claude Van Damme himself manages to give a stellar performance. The trailer for the film, located at www.apple.com/trailers/independent/jcvd/, reveals a nice look to it. Most of the color has been taken from the frame. And the editing and music choices evoke the late 60’s/early 70’s grooviness.It looks good.

There’s a funny scene in the trailer where Van Damme is making a movie with a young Asian director. He cries, ‘I’m 47 years of age, and it is hard for me to do everything in one shot.’The down-on-his-luck actor finds himself in a bank heist. Of course, we’re hoping that this situation will necessitate the use of his famous acrobatic moves. It’s looking like a film of butt-kicking, middle-aged angst, and pop culture satire. It seems too good to be true.
