VAN DAMME MADE A GOOD MOVIE!
With John Woo's help, Van Damme portrayed a believable character in this film. Exemplary action sequences, nasty bad guys, and an intriguing plot along with great photography, help outshine a bad "creole" accent by Wilford Brimley. Van Damme admitted in later years that he did film roles while using Heroin. Maybe thats why we got numerous Van damme "twins" films? Fortunately for us, he had not trod that destructive path during the shooting of HARD TARGET. I really enjoyed this flick. Woo repeated this Asian/Western action hero formula in FACE OFF and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2 with great results. Hey, I know people who know Van Damme and they say the guy is a jerk, who backstabbed his buddies to get famous. So, what else is new? Regardless of his real life woes, got to put this film on the list of my favorite martial arts pics.
