Last thursday, Van Damme officialy opened a new attraction in Walibi Belgium, named "Vertigo".  This first-of-its-kind roller coaster is designed to resemble a hang glider. Passengers are seated four abreast in individual cars suspended from an overhead track. An "elevator" style lift, lifts the cars up 180 feet before sending them off on the 2,369 foot long course. There are no inversions on the Vertigo roller coaster and the top speed is a gentle 37 mph. 

Here the video of the official opening (In French):

  04.05.2008 "Ford and Willis voted best action heroes"

They may be getting a little long in the tooth these days, but the appeal of Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford as the epitome of cinematic action heroes continues.  Willis, 53, who returned to the screen with the fourth instalment of his Die Hard franchise last year, and 65-year-old Ford, who hits UK cinema screens as Indiana Jones later this month, tied for the top spot in a poll of the greatest ever action heroes, each receiving 25 per cent of the vote. 

And Terminator star turned governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger, 60, came third in the poll by cinema advertising company Pearl & Dean with 15 per cent, pushing more recent action heroes down the list. 

The survey of 3,000 English people found many feel that Willis set the standard for the 1980s action hero playing wise-cracking cop John McClane in Die Hard, a role he reprised for the fourth time last year. 

Ford is remembered as Han Solo in Star Wars as well as swashbuckling archaeologist Indiana Jones, whose fourth outing is released on May 22. 

Kathryn Jacob, the chief executive of Pearl & Dean, said: “It seems I’m not alone in preferring the older breed of action hero - film fans across the UK agree the newer leading men just can’t hold a candle to the old school versions. 

"The fact that Bruce and Harrison can still attract cinema-goers in their millions is testament to their pulling power." 

Matt Damon, as Jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy, came fourth with 7 per cent. 

Daniel Craig as James Bond achieved fifth-equal place, tied with action hero stalwarts Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal and Mel Gibson with 5 per cent each. 

Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine in the X-Men trilogy, was ranked in joint last place with Jean-Claude Van Damme with 4 per cent of the vote.

  21.04.2008  "Lundgren And Van Damme Return To Universal Soldier"

Internet is full of rumours. Today a new one.

One of our most reliable sources tell us that Sony is in the process of developing some new DTV sequels, and one of those sequels will be Universal Soldier 3. Of course there’s already been something called Universal Soldier III. In 1998 a bunch of spare parts starred in a made for TV movie called Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business. So they’ll come up with something else to call it, probably a title without a number in it. 

The exciting thing here is that it’s not just another direct to DVD sequel with a bunch of replacement parts. Jean-Claude Van Damme, who starred in the original Universal Soldier, is in talks to topline this new one. Right now they’re developing it as a DTV project, but if they get him and if some of Van Damme’s other upcoming projects like Full Love do well, there’s a chance it could end up becoming a theatrical release. 


There’ve been whispers that Dolph Lundgren may be involved too, though that’s little more than a rumor at this point. 

The original Universal Soldier first hit theaters back in 1992, directed by now king of the disaster movie Roland Emmerich. Jean-Claude plays a super soldier who breaks free from his killing programming and goes on the run, pursued by another super soldier played by the muscles of Dolph Lundgren. 

For now this sounds like its a project still in the early planning stages, and things can change. Until we can get more confirmation on what's happening with it from Sony, consider this a solid rumor.

  19.04.2008  Respect animals

Jean-Claude Van Damme has offered his fans  a small moment of privacy while he was taking a stroll on a Belgian beach right next to the North sea with his son Kristopher and his three dogs.

"It's one of my favourite places. We can walk on the beach for hours in totally tranguillity. Moreover the air is very rich in iodine, which is extremely good for the health. I love to talk here with my son. We are working together on my next movie. He is going to be responsible for one camera, and after that he is planning on direct his own project. I'm really proud of him. 

Let me introduce you our three dogs which we found and adopted.

-Stella, found in the desert of Mojave
-Julie, found in the valley of Chatsworth close to Los Angeles
-Ajax, found on the shoot of "In Hell" in Bulgaria

Abandoned, lost and sometimes badly treated, we had to give them an enormous amount of love to help them to overcome some of their traumatisms. Today they are very happy, balenced, smart and very attentive. They are really a part of our family.

You know, when we respect animals, we tend to respect human beings. I encourage people to adopt abandoned animals. It's a beautiful life story which leads to a beautiful love story. But before doing so, one must think hard about taking on such a responsibility. Adopting an animal can bring on many constraints. It's a little bit like having a kid."

  27.03.2008  Sheldon impressed by power of Van Damme

JCVD in "The Order"On the VanDammeFan Forum Sheldon Lettich (director of various VD movies) told he is very  impressed by the kicks of Jean-Claude. Sheldon: "What has impressed me more than anything is the actual power that he projects in his kicks. That's something which can't really be seen on-screen, because a solid kick from Jean-Claude could literally kill somebody, which is why the on-screen impacts always have to be "misses" rather than actual hits. 

A number of years ago, after I'd introduced JC to Chuck Pfarrer (who eventually wrote "Hard Target"), Chuck wanted JC to demonstrate the power of one of his kicks. Chuck had been an officer in the Navy SEALs for about eight years, and he was a pretty big guy who was in great physical condition at the time. We were in a gym, and Chuck picked up a couple of exercise pads and held those in front of his chest for the demonstration. JC advised Chuck to hold up a couple more pads, for a total of four. Chuck insisted that two would be just fine, but JC refused to kick him unless he used four. So Chuck grabbed two more pads and told JC to give him his best shot. Well, JC let loose with a kick that literally knocked Chuck across the room. It took Chuck a while to catch his breath afterwards, but he thanked JC for advising him to use those two additional pads!

It may not have been as spectacular-looking as a double-kick or a helicopter-kick, but that little demonstration impressed me, and certainly left a lasting impression with Chuck Pfarrer."

  15.03.2008  Predator

There always was and is a lot of mis-information about Van Damme if he was involved in Arnolds movie Predator or not. Recently in an interview with Avclub Jean-Claude told about it.


Van Damme:  "I was in that originally, it was obviously the first one. They did a cast of my body. My feet were in the cast of the alien. My hands were in the forearms, my head was in the neck. I was moving everything with cables. It was a very unsecure, very dangerous type of outfit. It didn't work for nobody. They put air conditioning into my back, because it was very hot in Mexico. So they did another outfit with a bigger guy, taller guy on the inside. So I was hired, then I was cancelled. But that helped for Bloodsport. It's a very funny story, because when I met Menahem Golan from Cannon, he heard about me playing the Predator, and he was very excited to sign me for Bloodsport. That helped me a lot. He didn't know I was an alien. He ain't going to see my face and my body. He thought I was the type of alien with a human face and body, where people would be able to recognize me. The studio gave me good money and helped me to stretch another year in Los Angeles."

  06.03.2008   Interview JCVD with VanDammeFan.net

Yesterday we told you about the interview JCVD did with MTV. But JCVD also did an interview with his own fans, members of the VanDammeFan Forum. 

Van Damme said it was an  honor to work with Scott Adkins in the Shepherd. "I like being able to train like the old times and to have a very young opponent like Scott Adkins, to have a real challenge in myself, in a physical way and besides that, a great script. It gave me a different kind of acting to be mature."   

About making another martial arts film he said: "If the story is the central attraction inside the movie, yes I will do so."

Van Damme is happy with his fans: "Because of you, I am what I am today. I have a voice because of you. Truly, with you guys and without your taste I will not be what I am. Thank you guys, thank you for your trust in me."
