Knock Off (1998)
cool
Just like Universal Soldier II, this film gets bad reviews from you guys. Can't understand why. It was pretty good. Van Damme is not a hollywood actor, but he's still a cool actor. When I first saw this movie in a cinema I was pretty surpised. There was action from the beginning till the end. And when you go to a Van Damme movie you just want a 1.5 hour of fun, So don't expect more than that. I also liked it when I rented it for a second time. Now - this movie has some really cool camera angles and special editing, so it would look like a Hong-Kong movie. As for me, I saw couple of HK movies, and this one 's no different, in fact it was quite refreshing. Maybe Tsui Hark wanted this movie look like a Jackie Chan movie, but he did some real great work. The plot is quite hard to follow, but after seeing it twice you'll catch up.
One of Jean Claude Van Damme best movie. 9/10
Universal Soldier: The Return (1999)
A cool summer-action movie
I really don't understand why you guys are putting this movie down. Yes, it's a b-movie. Yes, it's a regular action movie. Yes, Van Damme doesn't show much acting skills, but it's quite a ride. Lots of action, explosions and fighting. The plot is not original but it's not bad, and the atmosphere of this movie is a summer-fun-action-movie. Van Damme still knows how to kick ass and all his fans will enjoy this movie after the bad 'Legionnaire' and 'Double Team'. Another good film of his is 'Knock Off'. Check out this movie but don't expect too much.
