Awesome! I knew it was a matter of time when JCVD would kick his way back to mainstream flicks! I sure hope he does accept a role in the upcoming, “The Expendables 2″ also. I always love a good come back story; and after seeing Stallone and Steven Seagal in the big screen again and Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja) making his way too, it will be great to see Van Damme again hitting in big!!!
Script for JCVD trilled with fad
romantic culture, psychic resolving
kind of present realities in youth discipline and anger management. would send a good message.
I love you vandamme until my last breath. Please Vandamme I wanna see your kicks please do it !
You are the best! You know my hero listen your heart and feeling! You are the only action Hero!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU 4EVER!!!

Cant wait to see cung le in action in dragon eyes sounds like its gonna be another great movie with cung.
…[... the prime culprit in the prneest-day crime of 'educating for illiteracy' -- is the failure to adequately address the hierarchy of knowledge.] I think that our eduction systems already doing that? Unless I have missed something here? High schools don’t leap to teach calculus without introducing algebra to students.
We love to see Cung Le making movies. Cung Le is talented, courage and intelligent.
About time..
