Just rewatched the 1993 Jean-Claude Van Damme classic, Hard Target



Naturally the mullet of the many Snakes is still my personal favorite mullet, but man does JCVD's mullet in this one come very close. I also just love that in these 90s American action movies, they always make JCVD a Cajun guy. Because apparently a Belgian guy showing up in small town America and immediately running fades on everyone in sight just doesn't make any sense to the simple Yankee mind, there must be some kind of Americanized justification for him having the thickest European accent you have ever heard.

My personal favourite JCVD accent is JCVD playing a Vietnam vet in Universal Soldier. His accent is never referenced aha. This said, if you like JCVD and you're interested in trying something extremely different, check out JCVD. Part's of it are in Flemish, JCVD plays an alternative version of himself. There's a 6 and a half minute monologue to camera in it. Very strange, but a superb film.

And if you're looking for some cult-ish mid 90s action goodness, check out Last Action Hero. I think if it came out today it'd get far more love than it managed in 1994 (1993?).
