Cinematical is very excited to bring you this exclusive clip from the new flick JCVD, which, surprisingly, has watched a tremendous amount of buzz build around it since it first screened at this past Cannes Film Festival. Now, as part of the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival midnight slate (it premieres tonight!), JCVD will receive a more proper introduction (or should I say, re-introduction) to the world. JCVD, of course, stands for our good friend Jean-Claude Van Damme, star of such action flicks as Kickboxer, Timecop, Universal Solider (first bootleg I ever watched), Double Impact, Death Warrant ... shall I go on?
From what I understand, JCVD follows Van Damme (who stars as himself) as he travels back to his home country in an attempt to find peace and tranquility after whatever was left of his career seemed to vanish. We'll have a review coming up very soon, but in the meantime check out this very funny clip below as it should give you an idea of the vibe this flick is going for. Dare I say this might be one of my most anticipated films of the fall season? JCVD will also play Fantastic Fest before arriving in theaters (in limited release) on November 7.

Wow, I completely forgot about this movie, I haven't heard about it in a while. Looking forward to your review. Great clip, but not as funny as the trailer with all the other Van Damme's trying out to play him in the film.

Gah the kick was edited too quickly. Didn't get a sense of it at all- cool concept for a film though! I'd like to see it.

Pretty limber still for an "old man". It looks like it might go a long way in putting JCVD on the hollywood radar. Maybe being older he'll better able handle success.

I just wonder if someone else noticed a goof in this short scene. When Jean-Claude stands up from his chair the other guy talking to him stands to the right beside him. Then there is a cut showing the room from the opposite side and you see "the other guy" passing Van Damme again on the right side.
But that really does not matter, what counts is this cool and smooth kick. Gorgeous!
