JCVD
It didn't work.
It didn't work.
In the middle there...
It's on amidst...
The window didn't
explode right...
and it is very difficult for me
to do everything in one shot.
You know, I'm 47 years old...
Just because he brought
John Woo to Hollywood
doesn't mean he can rub my dick
with sandpaper.
He still thinks
Not using a gun symbolizes
the whole purity of the character.
The purity...
This isn't about adults...
an environment...
My client...
is aware...
of the responsibility
of raising a child.
She leads a quiet,
peaceful life.
On the other hand,
we have an actor here
who's obviously disgruntled.
Whose known past problems
I just mentioned
are less than ambiguous.
And whose entire
career experience
is with films
whose values
no responsible
aware parent
would ever want to
including myself, Your Honor.
Violence...
that's all on film,
Your Honor.
The legitimacy
of violence...
How this actor
play death?
Let me count
the ways.
Mangled under the wheels
a truck...
Strangulation...
Fracturing the skull...
Taking out
"the timber log"...
They were low budgets. Every one
of my movies were having heart!
Laceration...
Crushed under
the wheels of a car...
Death by strangulation...
Crushed ribs...
I make money with this!
I feed them!
- Please be seated, Mr.
- It's not about money!
- Allez, one more! Again.
- Gauging out the eye...
Kicks to the groin...
Can I go to the
restroom, please?
Crushed under the
wheels of a truck...
Gauging out the eyes...
Crushing the skull...
Sh*t.
- Take off! Immediately! Take off!
- Allright!
See the Arab in the film?
See that beard? Ever seen one
like that on a plane or a bus?
You think I look like him?
The movie's from 1986...
Haven't you ever had an idea just
to realize you've seen it before?
the idea of 9-11, that's bull!
But Chuck Norris
works for the CIA.
Yesterday it was Schwarzy...
Seen how the Arabs in "True Lies"
get all excited like hyenas?
Action films need bad guys.
Exactly! In the 70's,
it was the Viets, now the Arabs.
Stallone in "Rambo 3",
Hauer in "Wanted: Dead or Alive",
Bruce Willis in "The Siege",
Steven Seagal in
"Executive Decision"?
And what's his name,
Mark Wahlberg who fights in Irak?
- Van Damme!
- He never hit Arabs!
Dummy, Van Damme's outside!
Hey, Mr Van Damme! Wait!
I'm a great fan of yours!
- How are you?
- Fine and you?
- What's this? Lost in Schaerbeek?
- Going to the post office.
A quick snap for the store?
Thanks, sir!
Look, it's Van Damme!
Hello!
Don't hello him.
Just take the picture.
Yeah!
Your turn, now.
Jean-Claude Van Damme!
Good?
Wait, my grandma
adores you too...
In five minutes!
Thanks, sir. Wow!
It was Jean-Claude Van Damme!
He's cool! I pictured him taller,
but he's short.
He's cool! Classy and all!
He's all tanned.
He'll be right back.
- Why? Did you?
- No, but nobody kisses my ass.
- He's a star!
He left this shithole,
for Hollywood.
He fought to be
where he is now.
You've never left town!
Whether you're a star or a dog,
I don't care!
Then why are you waiting for him?
You can't park here!
He's just a regular guy.
Back off, watch my car!
Calm down, ma'am!
Move back!
I don't wanna see you around here.
- Help me, sir.
- You can't park here.
- Only 10 minutes!
- She's waiting for her idol.
- Who's the idol?
- Jean-Claude Van Damme.
- Who?
- Jean-Claude Van Damme!
Get outta here!
"Aware!"
Look, we have pictures.
- How is he?
- He's nice.
He's just a regular guy, sir.
I don't think so.
The guy's a star.
He left this shithole
for Hollywood...
He fought to get
where he is now.
You've never even left town!
So what?
Bunch of ass-kissers...
What'd you say?
I was talking to them.
Help me!
I was talking to
them, I swear!
You have a flat here.
Registration!
- Oh, come on!
- Registration!
- Don't ruin my day, please!
- Registration!
- I always get the crap, thanks!
- Anytime!
You owe me big time!
Shut up!
For once, it's not my fault!
Please, ma'am. Shut up!
Stop now.
Don't stay here!
Get lost!
You heard me!
Sh*t...
Open! What's going
on in there?
What's going on!
On the ground!
Central to Unit 27.
Jean-Claude Van Damme's robbing
a post office. I need back-up.
Possible hostage situation.
I repeat
possible hostage situation.
before the Question.
He's in court
for his daughter's custody.
and he can't approach
his ex-wife...
He picked up!
He picked up!
Please, move, convince...
Perfect.
Mr Van Damme?
This is Commissioner Bruges.
How are things inside?
It could be better.
OK, let me ask you first,
is anyone injured?
Hello?
Jean-Claude?
No, no.
A man's unconscious
and bleeding.
Jean-Claude,
may I call you Jean-Claude?
I'm Commissioner Christian Bruges.
Call me Christian.
You have to release
the wounded man.
It's not in your interest, nor mine,
to have blood on our hands.
Will you release him?
No, no one leaves.
It's impossible.
What if I came with
a doctor? Hello?
Jean-Claude?
What if I came with a doctor?
Fine, but unarmed.
I give you my word.
Commissioner Bruges?
Call me a doc please!
- Lieutenant Perthier, SWAT team.
- I just spoke with Van Damme.
So, I'm going inside and then,
we'll debrief, if necessary.
- I'd like to deploy my men.
- No, it's too soon.
Could I borrow a vest?
I'll give it back.
Jackie.
A doctor, please.
I asked for a doc!
Get me a doc!
Eric went to med school.
- OK, let's go.
- Boss!
Hello? Jean-Claude?
No!
You have my word that...
Jean-Claude,
we're here to find...
What?
We see the chief of police
exiting the video store,
crisis unit HQ,
and going towards the post office
in his boxer shorts.
Is Van Damme
trying to mock the police?
In any case,
it seems to be working
as the public
is rooting for him
in spite of today's events.
The shorts! The shorts!
Don't shoot, I'm a hostage!
Drop the kit.
Slide it over.
Check the kit.
Go to the back room.
Hurry! He's bleeding!
No tricks, Jean-Claude.
Van Damme's fame
has driven them here.
They're clearly fans,
here to support him,
and the slightest move
gets the crowd on fire,
yelling out his name.
We 've heard a few snide remarks,
like the one about the Commissioner
who went out in his shorts.
But the situation is dramatic.
Sir, don't move.
What am I doing here?
What's going on?
Calm down, sir.
- Don't move.
- It hurts.
What the f***...
No, Jean-Claude!
Don't move!
Get outta here!
Calm down, Jean-Claude!
Get outta here!
The curtain!
Help them!
Right on!
Gimme five! Awesome!
How did you do that?
Seriously! What a pro!
What's this?
See what he did?
This isn't a movie!
What do I care?
Take him with the others!
Fast!
Listen, smart-ass,
or I'll shoot...
How do you do it Jean-Claude?
You got him in the balls
