JCVD
The Muscles from Brussels is back! JCVD the highly-anticipated new DVD from Jean-Claude Van Damme, where he stars in the role he was born to play... as Jean-Claude Van Damme. JCVD is released exclusively on DVD through Revolver Entertainment on Monday 2nd February 2009.
JCVD shows the world’s favourite action hero as you have never seen him before living the life of an ordinary guy. Set as a parody of his life, he has no money, battling his ex-wife over custody of their daughter and then dealing with the final insult of losing a lead role in the next big film to his arch-rival, Steven Seagal who makes the ultimate sacrifice by cutting off his pony tail.
JCVD already has a cult following after securing high praise and reviews on the International Film Circuit and being released across the world. Jean-Claude’s biggest hits include classic films such as Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Timecop and Universal Soldier.
In JCVD, the action hero uses his cult status and iconic scenes from his career history to save the day and overcome his biggest challenge.
Jean-Claude commented:JCVD is very different to all my other films, it shows a different side to my life and my acting abilities in ways that are dramatic, realistic and humorous".
A self confessed 'skinny, sensitive child who loves classical music and painting' Jean-Claude studied a range of martial arts and performed in a host of professional competitions.
Since migrating to the States in pursuit of a Hollywood film career he has had a diverse and expansive career that has spanned a period of three decades and 37 films. His presence will undoubtedly be embedded in the realms of Hollywood history and the hearts of fans for years to come.
JCVD is directed by Mabrouk El Mechri and written by Frédéric Bénudis and Christophe Turpin and is available to buy on DVD from Monday 2nd February 2009.
