Lee B. Golden III

Blockbuster martial arts action hero Jean Claude Van Damme has done a LOT in the past several years, ultimately putting himself back on the map as one of the hardest working actors in film. And for a man who has seen his share of ups and downs, there is no challenge he isn’t willing to conquer head on – and that includes mother nature, which is a lot more than can be said for his motley crew of backpacking would-be adventurers in the new international NSFW trailer for Welcome To The Jungle. Van Damme joins director Rob Meltzer for their latest spectacular comedic action adventure comedy set for a limited theatrical North American release on February 7, with further releases pending in Japan, Italy, Sweden and France as of this report.

Lee B. Golden III

It’s funny, whenever I see actors Tom Everett Scott and Orlando Jones, I think about that drummer from That Thing You Do and the actor from the syndicated sketch comedy series, Mad TV. Scott and Jones are the last two people you would expect to see in a movie starring opposite Jean-Claude Van Damme as two former military servants at odds with each other amidst the emergence of a murderous drug smuggler and his small army. Well, director Peter Hyams in his latest return to the set with the Belgian epic Volvo truck splitter since their previous time together on the set of Timecop and Sudden Death, made it happen once again for the forthcoming North American release of the new thriller, Enemies Closer. And after releasing an international trailer a few months ago, we now have a new viral trailer making the rounds courtesy of Yahoo! Movies, which shares […]

Photo: Jean-Claude Van Damme in No Retreat, No Surrender (1986) We rarely see martial arts action superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme do his famous splits in movies anymore, leaving some to wonder if he can still do them. Apparently, the 53-year old actor still has it, and is willing to put himself on the line to show it in the form of a new stunt as per a new campaign push for Volvo Trucks. The following behind the scenes video shows Volvo technician Jan-Inge Svensson sitting with the actor discussing what lies ahead for the stunt, and even joking over the possibility of falling, which Svensson assures won’t happen with the promised stability and steering capability in their new line of Class 8 automobiles. But even more alluring here is that after appearing in The Expendables 2 and Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning, one of the most memorable icons in action […]

If being an action movie fan teaches you nothing else, it will teach you that actors Tom Everett Scott and Orlando Jones are prepared to handle themselves on the set of a Peter Hyams action thriller. Yep! The same director who brought you the badassery in the 1990’s Timecop and Sudden Death is ready to deliver you one gritty, brutal, bloody piece of action cinema, partering once again with Jean-Claude Van Damme for their latest film, Enemies Closer.
