Van Damme`s best shape ever was in this movie

[kuhen25]

He was in better shape in Kickboxer

yeah, i'd have to sit down after that too...XD

what really is the point of throwing knives WHILE doing the splits?...there is no point, and thats what makes JCVD amazing....lmfao

@kuhen25 better shape is in hard target

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, do yoga to obtain their flexibility, and now most if not all MMA fighters do yoga to be flexible.

I totally agree! and i saw where Claude said that too. On Screen and the Martial Arts world hadn't seen anything like Van Damme, the speed, the flexibility, it was all new. Then after Van Damme the wannabes came but there is only one Van Damme. Van Damme is a legend and is one of a kind. No one had seen 180 or 360 kicks like that before. the "Helicopter Kick" became his trademark. Van Damme's flexibility was so amazing, it still is. Thanks for agreeing!

@SpinDoctor91 Yeah your right about the splits he popularized it the splits and is the only man in movie history to do 180 degree full split on film. Its strange because his teacher Claude gotez said it was really uncommon back in the days the splits Claude said when he was training VD he wanted him to be flexible so he stretched him everday in all postions that was not how people train back then in regarding flexibilty and VD it became his trademark what he is known for now every one does it

@masterdragunov lol I was like 6 or 7 when I saw kickboxer 2 when it came out and I loved it. Growing up I always remembered that movie & I thought it was awesome. But then I watched it again last year....it sucked!!!!!! I shouldnt have watched it the second time, ruined my good memory lol Alot of movies I loved as a kid are now terrible.
