Jean-Claude Van Damme - DOUBLE IMPACT
|
|||
|
|
The movie opens twenty-five years ago in Hong Kong. The parents of
|
|||
|
|
two twin babies, Alex and Chad, had borrowed money from Raymond Zhang and
|
|||
|
|
Nigel Griffith, two lead smugglers. They needed the money in order to
|
|||
|
|
build a tunnel between Hong Kong and the mainland. After the tunnel was
|
|||
|
|
built and the money collected, Nigel Griffith and Raymond Zhang had a gang
|
|||
|
|
of hit men massacre Alex and Chad's family. Frank Avery, a friend of the
|
|||
|
|
family, races into the scene and finds the parents already dead. The two
|
|||
|
|
babies are in the back seat with a maid. She takes Alex and flees the
|
|||
|
|
scene. Frank sees Chad left behind and takes him and runs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Twenty-five years after these events we find Frank Avery, who is
|
|||
|
|
played by Geoffrey Lewis, has raised Chad as his own kid. They own a gym
|
|||
|
|
in Los Angelos. Frank has been trying to locate the other brother for the
|
|||
|
|
past twenty-five years and has finally found his whereabouts in Hong Kong,
|
|||
|
|
working for Raymond Zhang, played by Philip Chan Yan Kin, and Nigel
|
|||
|
|
Griffith, played by Alan Scarfe. Frank and Chad go to Hong Kong and meet
|
|||
|
|
his brother. Interesting events take place when they arrive since Alex's
|
|||
|
|
girlfriend Danielle Wilde, played by Alonna Shaw, thinks that Chad is Alex.
|
|||
|
|
Alex arrives and head butts Chad. When Chad revives from being knock
|
|||
|
|
unconscious, Frank convinces the two brothers to help avenge the deaths of
|
|||
|
|
their parents.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The setting for this movie is very appropriate. They are in Hong Kong
|
|||
|
|
where the laws are not up to par with the American Style. This allows the
|
|||
|
|
corrupt trades of Zhang, Griffith, and Alex to go on hardly disturbed by
|
|||
|
|
the Hong Kong police.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The dominant theme in Double Impact is vengeance and it is seen quite
|
|||
|
|
readily once the action gets rolling. Alex and Chad are out to kill Zhang
|
|||
|
|
and Griffith for the massacre of their parents. As the movie rolls on, Alex
|
|||
|
|
becomes suspicious of Chad because he thinks that he is playing around with
|
|||
|
|
his girlfriend Danielle. We see Alex's thoughts of Chad with Danielle as
|
|||
|
|
he becomes drunker and his mind imagines that they are having sex together.
|
|||
|
|
These thoughts enrage Alex and he fights his own brother.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The whole movie was directed and acted very well considering Chad and
|
|||
|
|
Alex are both played by the same person, Jean-Claude Van Damme, which
|
|||
|
|
justifies the movie's name, Double Impact. The main character Jean-Claude
|
|||
|
|
Van Damme plays more roles than just casting. He is also the fight
|
|||
|
|
choreographer and one of the producers. His talent of kickboxing has come
|
|||
|
|
through in his first great achievement where he played as Frank Dux in
|
|||
|
|
Bloodsport. Another great kickboxer in Double Impact is Bolo Yeung, who
|
|||
|
|
also played in Bloodsport, both times as the villain against Jean-Claude
|
|||
|
|
Van Damme.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Although Jean-Claude Van Damme is mainly known for his kickboxing,
|
|||
|
|
Double Impact is a different story. The kickboxing and fighting has been
|
|||
|
|
toned down somewhat in this movie. Most of the fights are with high
|
|||
|
|
powered guns as they, Chad and Alex, seek to find Zhang and Griffith and
|
|||
|
|
kill them. The special effects in this movie are amazing. Not one place
|
|||
|
|
in the movie is it slightly obvious that Chad and Alex are both the same
|
|||
|
|
guy, except that you know they are in reality. To top off the amazement on
|
|||
|
|
the viewers part, the movie producers include a fight with Jean-Claude Van
|
|||
|
|
Damme against himself! How they pieced the fighting scenes like this one
|
|||
|
|
and the special effects of the two brothers working together is a great
|
|||
|
|
achievement. There has been so much time and precision taken into account
|
|||
|
|
when the movie was produced and it shows through its many scenes of action
|
|||
|
|
with the two brothers fighting.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In previous movies with Jean-Claude Van Damme, the dialogue has been
|
|||
|
|
quite limited, but in this movie it is incredible. Jean- Claude Van Damme
|
|||
|
|
plays two roles, each with a completely opposite character. Alex is a
|
|||
|
|
tough guy in the smuggling business in Hong Kong and Chad is a California
|
|||
|
|
dude as an aerobic instructor in the gym Frank and himself own.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Overall, the movie is written, produced, acted, and directed very
|
|||
|
|
well. It deserves high accolades and should be seen by any action movie
|
|||
|
|
enthusiast. Watch it for yourself and you decide.
