Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing your article. Nice article, I've used Google Translate to translate some of it:
Moovy Exclusive: Top Tuesday: Five overlooked roundhouse kicks from Van Damme The Muscles from Brussels is still punching hard!
A number of films from the European muscle bundle were launched in the 1980s, and one of them is undeservedly forgotten. Most people probably remember Jean-Claude Van Damme best as the martial arts expert Frank Dux from the breakthrough movie "Bloodsport", but if you were young in the 80s or 90s, you probably also got acquainted with Belgium's other classics "Kickboxer", "Universal Soldier" "," Timecop "and" Hard Target ".
[..]
Van Damme, however, continued to make films. Many films. Most ended up without cinema distribution, recorded in Eastern European countries on a low budget, the quality is what you can expect from low budget. Aside from a small comeback with the excellent semi-biographical "JCVD" from Belgium, Van Damme remains the crowned king of the direct to video market today. Amazon Prime took the semi-biographical aspect to a satirical level in the excellent television series "Jean-Claude Van Johnson" which was sadly stopped after a single season. However, it is on social media that Van Damme really shines now. On his YouTube channel are a number of humorous short films to the extent that the former superstar has an untapped talent.
[..] Van Damme has played two roles in the same film countless times. The trend started with "Double Impact" from 1991, where he suitably played two twin brothers. "Replicant" is the first and so far the only time he plays both the protagonist and the antagonist. "Replicant" is more sci-fi / thriller than action movie, and in the movie, scientists grab a serial killer's DNA, and from that they develop a replicant with telepathic abilities.
If you look through the illogical pseudo-science, "Replicant" offers a number of relevant socially critical undertones - as well as several ethical dilemmas - with two paragraphs. Van Damme in top form. One is as naive as a child and the other is just as disgusting as Ted Bundy. Michael Rooker is also in attendance. What's not to like?
