Jean-Claude Van Damme Reveals Why He Left ‘Predator’ | Heat Vision

@@RumbleFish69One dude was talking about him hitting on his wife like he wasn't even there, but again, different people have different interactions I enjoy most of his movies all the same, especially Bloodsport, The Quest, and Timecop

[@RumbleFish69]

@@ComicBookGuy420 Well, the rumor is that the man was kind of a lady-hound. Still, I will concede that if he actually did that, it'd be pretty messed up. I am sure that JCVD might have his own, different version, if he even recalls that event at all. But you're right, people will have different interactions for sure.

"J.C.V.D" & "Universal Soldier" - still superb quality movies!

[@Rodshark75]

Universal Soldier still holds up.

[@phutureproof]

@Methods Look for something..... something hard 🤦‍♂️🤣👍 quality I probably butchered that, i apologise.

[@jasonarnold9864]

Timecop,Bloodsport,Double Impact, Kickboxer,Death Warrant , Universal Soldier, Lionheart , Hard Target and Double Team are Van Damme's best movies of all time . My Favorite action star .

[@jayantadas3094]

My childhood hero...... can't forget bloodsport, cyborg, double impact & kickboxer.

Why are you shouting? Jean-Claude is calm as a cucumber and you just yell like a maniac to open the interview. I was half asleep and nearly fell out of bed.

[@darkcity925]

He couldnt pronounce Van Damme´s name correctly.. It´s not Van Damn!

Jean Claude should've knocked the prick out for shouting in his ear

JCVD is partially deaf, so maybe it actually worked out for him...

HUGE FAN!!! I had a few icons I looked up to in the 80’s Arnold, Sly, JCVD and my dad got me hooked on Clint Eastwood’s old spaghetti westerns so Clint as well!! Blood sport and Kickboxer were my favorites but I also loved Lionheart, Cyborg and Universal Soldier

Jean Claude Van Damn - one of the big guns of the 80s and 90s. Loved the movies growing up. If I saw him in HK while I was there, I'd have bought him a beer (if he drinks them). Legend.

I loved him in the expendibles 2. My favorite is lionheart, and hard target

VanDamme reminds me of one of my brothers who died at the young age of eighteen. Jean- Claude, in my opinion is a class act.❤

[@danielturner88]

This guy is an amazing interviewer, get him on the roundtable!!!

[@newsfromthecan2460]

Jean-Claude Van Damme looks fabulous. He's one of those guys who could keep on acting as long as he wants.

[@samsia7637]

With a great sense of humour too. Jean Claude is the type of person who can see through fakeness and can also dismantle this with his superior emotive intellect. Great dude...

[@newsfromthecan2460]

Yep.

It’s not like we needed him in the movie. I can’t imagine a Predator from space doing martial arts that originated on earth.

[@Galaxyofbrian]

Hes a good man. 👍 I liked the bit where he mentioned how he got to America by selling flowers then opening a gym. The people in Hong Kong are especially humble and In touch with nature, so unsurprisingly he chooses to reside there. 💙✌️

Are we getting a second season of Jean Claude Van Johnson? I fucking loved that show.

Amazon cancelled it mate. Fucking assholes. Netflix should pick it up. They should make a Van Damme and Chuck Norris comedy/action detective series.
