Jean-Claude Van Damme May Be Awesome
Posted at 9:05 AM Oct 13, 2008
If you're any kind of shlock movie fan, you need to watch the above trailer without any delay. The movie is JCVD, due out November 7th, and I assure that both the praise and the premise—Jean-Clause Van Damme, playing himself, three-quarters-washed up—is all totally real. I had no idea Van Damme had the cognizance, let alone the willingness, to make fun of his B-list, direct-to-DVD status, and I will happily give him props for that. I'm very much looking forward to this one. (Via /Film)

Wow.
That is perhaps the greatest trailer I've seen in a long while.
Sign me up!

Posted 10/13/2008 at 08:42:09 AMI hope this is as awesome as it seems. I remember seeing the little teaser they put out where Van Damme breaks into the casting session for the movie. Hilarious and wonderful. I hear it's only getting rave reviews. I can't wait for some more VAN DAMAGE!
