Jean-Claude Van Damme May Be Awesome
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)
