Yes but that doesn’t excuse the director for making such a bad movie.

In defense of JCVD following-up Bloodsport with Cyborg. JCVD signed-on to do Bloodsport, and after completing the movie, the release of it was put into limbo for a while. JCVD went ahead and signed-on to do Cyborg and Death Warrant awaiting the release of Bloodsport. So don’t look at Cyborg and Death Warrant as crap following the decent Bloodsport movie.

I think we all deserve to know what action movies you do like. If there is one Vin Diesel film on that list, im gonna wind up throwing my computer across the room. lol

Wow. I think you made a JCVD fan cry. lol. Sorry VienDammage but his movies suck. You can say whatever you want to try and defend them but at the end of the day your still an idiot and his films are shit.

Also I could care less if the ring was an Octagon. It wouldn’t change my views on the film.

I assume this comment is directed towards me because I seem to recall mispronouncing Frank Dux and Kumite. I did indeed watch these movies and in fact I was the host defending the films. It was mentioned in the trailer but since I am the producer of the show, I am too busy working on the mix boards, mics, sound levels and everything else that I have to monitor. I just simply do not have time to pay any attention to what is being said during the trailer. In fact the trailers themselves are used primarily to give me time to do everything else I need to get done. Keep in mind this is a radio show that broadcasts live. Unlike most radio stations we do not have someone sitting there getting paid to cue all the clips and check to make sure everything is working fine. It is a one man operation.

Sure, we did. It’s just REALLLY hard to pay attention during a Van Damme marathon.

Uh did you actually watch any of these movies you claim to watch so others don’t have to? Can’t pronounce Dux or Kumite and realize that they don’t fight in a square ring? Come on, all of those things are in the trailer you took up space with!

It was a movie I grew up watching so that helps but I just think it’s a fun shit flick. I still give it the annual viewing to this day. Of course it’s a B movie to the max but I would still take it over a lot of the big budget crap that comes out like The Fast and the Furious turds and pretty much everything Jason Statham is in…with the exception of some of his British crime flicks.

Wow! I wish more people were like you and not take offense to our joking around on the show because they happen to like a movie which we dislike. Also what exactly did you like about Cyborg and have you seen it recently or is this based on your vague memory of watching the film back in the 90`s?

Great!! It was a lot of fun listening to you guys even though I do LIKE pretty much all of his movies including Cyborg.

I will try to find an interesting way to include Segal on the show!

Well regardless of whatever money it made, it was the last film that Cannon made before going bankrupt. In any case it really is one of the worse films I have ever seen. Also should we be doing a part 2 to JCVD since he is so popular on our site?

I’m not sure where you got the info about Cyborg bringing down Cannon. The movie was made for under $2 million and wound up grossing about $11 million in US theaters…not to mention whatever it made on video when it came out.

I just wanted to point out to Simon that Jean Claude Van Damme was not an action star of the 80`s but rather the 90`s. At the end of the show during your rewiew on JCVD, you mentioned 80`s.
