Double Impact (1991) - JCVD - Comedic Movie Recap

[@basquat76]

JCVD has made so many of these twins movies it's pretty clear that there is no one he likes working with more then himself. He is his own favorite co star.

[@cordaxg6261]

Yeah you're right. He made like ONE twin movie! He must be totally nuts :)

[@basquat76]

[@doublep1980]

Van Damme recently announced that he's retiring, because he suffers from serious hearing loss in one of his ears and also it's getting more and more difficult for him to perform fight scenes. It's a shame, even if his movies weren't ''high art'' or something, they were always entertaining. I also like the fact, that he left his ''cocaine douchebag phase'' behind, got this act together and became much more chill in recent years. Unlike a certain other ''martial arts superstar'' * wink * . I'm gonna miss the Muscles from Brussels, grew up watching his flicks on VHS, back in the day.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

I didn't know that he's retiring.

[@Leonard1977ful]

Van Damme retiring is a shock to me. I'll definitely miss him too. If you mean Seagal, he should have retired a long time ago. Hahaha.

That's amazing

[@JackOfAllNerdsShow]

So glad you did this film. Van Damme was my first action star and you never forget your first. This is one of my favorite Van Damme movies. People always give him shit for his acting, but I think he did a great job giving Alex and Chad their own unique personalities. In my opinion, it is the best Van Damme/Sheldon Lettich flick and JCVD's best movie where he plays twins. Great review!

[@RedEyeReviews]

. I agree he actually made his two characters stand apart pretty well

[@rosiebrooks7685]

I Love this man to death since day 1.

[@munstrumridcully]

Just curious, but how many films _are_ there in which JCVD plays twins? Off the top my head I can't think of any... The first thing that came to mind was the one where JC teams up with Dennis Rodman, LOL! I was like, _"Oops, nope! Just a team up, not JCVD as twins!"_ 🤔🙂

[@JackOfAllNerdsShow]

@@munstrumridcully Haha, it's not really that many. He plays twins in this movie and in Maximum Risk, though in that, his twin is killed at the start and the movie is more a revenge flick. He then plays clones in Replicant. And while technically not twins or clones, I'll give a shoutout to Time Cop where he plays the same character from two different times and appears on screen together (briefly). Apparently, there were talks of a sequel to this called Triple Impact where he would play triplets (not sure how they would explain that considering how this movies opens, but why was this never made?!)

[@munstrumridcully]

@@JackOfAllNerdsShow thanks for the info you sir are greater jcvd fan than I knowing that right off the top of your head! I hang my head in shame as an 80s action fan :-)

I love this movie, so looking forward to this. I love it when Alex headbutts Chad when they first meet. "... three days ago you were tea bagging a sweaty dance studio floor in tights." lmfao Good thing I had my coffee cup in my hand and not near my lips when that line was delivered.

[@codyhallnan9442]

This, Bloodsport, and Lionheart are my favorite JCVD films. They all have such great vibes and are ridiculous and fun. The multiverse of Bolo being the main henchman in an action film is fantastic!

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

This movie epitomizes the 90s for me. A time when u knew every year your FAVOURITE action star would pop out a film or too. First watched this as a kid in 94. BRILLIANT memories,loved it ever since.

[@ShellshockedRadio]

Thank you very much! Exactly what I needed in these weird times ... (I live in Europe ...)

[@Nada11488]

Ah man, this brings back good memories! My Old Man took me to see this beauty in the theater. JCVD at peak powers. Crotch grabs. Mangling. A great 90’s love scene it was super awkward to sit thru with my Dad. But he made it funny. Always did. God rest ‘em. Thanks, RedEye 🤘

[@michaelk8860]

Another great review. "He starts banging his head into the wall until he forgets second grade math." - LOVE IT! Best line. I love how the good side girlfriend is blonde with fair skin and light colored clothing, and the bad side "security" woman has tanned skin, dark red hair, and is wearing a black leather outfit - I would have been SO confused without them being so on the nose. Also, when he is fighting the dude using spurs as a weapon, the only thing that went through my mind was a verse from a song, "I got these spurs and they go, Jingle Jangle". Full disclosure, I remember watching this movie and hating it, and now I am reminded why.

[@MichaelMartin-qe5ye]

Schwarzenegger and Van Damme movies always had a scene to explain their accents(JCVD would inevitably take a moment to say "Yes, I'm from Ohio but I went on a senior class trip to Belgium"). Compare that to a Steven Seagal movie where he changes his accent every time he talks to a different character. Steven Seagal, king of dialect.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Lol it's so true.

[@thedragonlee76]

Eventually the audience accepted their accents and after a few films,the audience didn't care for an explanation.

Not trying to rain on your parade, I haven't even seen this movie. But when he reloaded his pistol, the slide wasn't locked back. In a properly working pistol of that type, Berreta 92, the slide locks after the last round has been fired. If there was still a round in the chamber, let alone any ammo in the mag before he dropped it? He would not need to work the slide to put a round in the chamber. Great video btw, always enjoy your style. Honest energy and high quality editing, make for damn good content.

I just watched the full scene myself out of curiosity to see if he was carrying it unloaded without a mag to begin with and right before the edited clip in this video, you can see the slide back after firing and he hits the slide release my guess by accident before replacing the mag. So a movie blunder that makes red eye reviews correct as it likely doesn’t have a cartridge in the chamber but maybe not for the original reason lol.
