The famous no-hit-back brick and a nice flat-top Forest Whitaker? I'm sold.

A.W.O.L.
I must have watched that film 500 times.
What was the question again?

And he did it while being strung out on coke the whole time.

Only the single greatest actress ever to bring Chun Li to the big screen.
Yeah, quite a few accounts say that during the shooting for that movie, JCVD cared about, in order, doing as much coke as possible, fucking Kylie Minogue, and then shooting the movie (if actual filming rated that high).
And Bloodsport, obviously.

Bloodsport, but I really love both movies.
This thread gave me the urge to seek out a few low tier martial arts flicks
I've never seen before.
Although I did fall asleep mid way, this beginning scene and song set a tone that instantly sold me.

I liked Lionheart too, especially for the unique locations the fights took place in. I really liked the drained pool fight, and the squash/racketball room fight.
My top 3 JCVD movies from BITD were 1.Bloodsport, 2. Cyborg, 3. Lionheart. Honorable mention goes to Time Cop for being filmed in my home city, Vancouver BC.

I refuse to vote because the right answer was left off of the options. Universal Soldier. Jean-Claude and Dolph Lundgren were the pinnacle of method acting of their era.

This is correct, JCVD did a TON of coke. Looks like its finally caught up to him in his later years.

Apart from actors getting punched on set and extras playing with actual knives, de Souza revealed in an oral history of Street Fighter that his star was pretty much always "coked out of his mind." Jean-Claude Van Damme starred as the all-American Colonel Guile—which didn’t really make sense considering he’s super Belgian—but he was the biggest action star around back then, and apparently Street Fighter had to have him. At the time he was struggling with a pretty serious cocaine addiction, snorting an estimated $10,000 worth of coke a week, and it allegedly made filming a nightmare.

If this scene actually had the Guile theme, I would change my vote. Otherwise, Bloodsport.
