That's the best. Emptying the clip isn't good enough. It takes the followup boot to the grill to get the job done. And you have to love how the dude had the cigar in his mouth through all of it.

TIFO that Lance Henriksen's coat caught fire by accident, but he remained in character and improvised his lines to the rest of the "heavy" actors.

[@GonzGunner]

Speaking only for myself, "Hard Target" was the best picture Van Damme ever made. And Yancy Butler was the classic "damsel in distress" too!

[@sadetwizelve]

Better than Double Impact,Kickboxer,Sudden Death?

[@GonzGunner]

@@sadetwizelve Yes. While the other movies were great, I felt that "Hard Target" was the one that fully established Van Damme as an actor to be reckoned with, in other words, not just "another karate guy making another movie kicking asses". It had great writing, a great plot, and Lance Henriksen as the consummate evil villain and Wilford Brimley as a warm and welcome presence helping Van Damme to defeat him.

[@DaveQZ85]

It still seems like there’s a bottomless mag every time he reloads. It looks like he shot van Cleaf 26 times. Round it down to 20 times for repeat camera angles. So 10 rounds a gun. Looks like he put in extended 20 round mags and considering how liberally he shot after reloading… It doesn’t take away from the action any since who’s really counting exacts anyway? Still amusing.

[@burt66669999]

This is the uncut version.. holy shit. After he emptied 2 clips into the dude with the nice shirt he never finished the dude off he elbowed in the theatric version. In fact he shot the guy 28 times with one clip 😂 I even noticed the arrow through the throat scene. It was never shown.. only the guy fallen down. It even shows the back of the arrow coming out of the hole. I questioned that for years.

The movie is a classic, I spent most my teenage years binge watching Van damme movies. Great fight scenes and plenty of shootouts and action.. Its kinda funny how i notice and see things differently in a movie now as a 34 year old, that i wouldn't of even thought twice about when i was 16 yrs old. Like the paper mache faces that explode when Van Damme shoots them with his shotgun. incendiary rounds? Lol... Where the hell did the explosions come from? one scene there where Lance Henriksen is ripping off his jacket like he is in a chemical fire. Lol ..John Woo must of notice he was coming under budget and thought fuck it lets just throw in 50k worth of pyrotechnics in the last 10 minutes.. lol....
