I had a crush on her in high school from “Ferris.” It’s spooky.īrown: I’d love to find a way to be paired up with Sloane. This could happen to any of us with time travel tomfoolery. And as you pointed out, it has happened, because Sloane is no longer in Chicago with Ferris, but in a mall with JCVD. They need to develop more government waste and spending creating a new police force to ensure people do not fiddle with time. Years later, I’m sure a statue of this robber was erected in the South and is fought over to this day by dumbass white supremacists.įroemming: We then are whisked away back to 1994, where like all great action movies, we get a boring meeting by government bureaucrats on the dangers of a new invention: Time travel. And it turns out this lone man is a time traveler and he guns down everyone in the convoy with a semi-automatic. One man says he wants a shipment of gold meant for General Lee. “Super Metroid” says it was the greatest year ever.Īnywho, we open the movie to a robbery attempt of a Confederate convoy in Civil War days. And I base that only on what Super Nintendo games came out that year. Which, at least, is something I guess.īut let’s travel back to 1994, the year Kurt Cobain killed himself so he wouldn’t have to watch this movie.īrown: Things from 1994 shouldn’t be belittled. We just have a mopey JCVD traveling through time with a mullet. His star was rising with “Universal Soldier” and whatnot, and he made this time travel movie that, for reasons I still do not understand, does not utilize his martial arts skills all that much. I never saw this as a kid, but I knew of it.įroemming: That’s exactly where I was at. This is Van Damme’s highest-grossing movie at $101 million. If I did, I completely forgot about it, which after viewing “Timecop” is a believable thing to have happened.īrown: Which is a little weird. I watched a lot of action flicks growing up, but I never saw this one. Why don’t you give me your thoughts on this one?įroemming: I just got back from watching “The Last Jedi,” and I am angry I now have to talk about a forgettable action movie starring JCVD. Alas, here we are.Īll right, Froemming, I’m gonna stretch so I can throw some sweet roundhouse kicks like Max Walker. JCVD movies shouldn’t make you have to think about the complexity of time travel. Until now with “Timecop,” where mulleted JCVD must rescue clean-cut JCVD via TIME TRAVEL so he can live happily ever after with Ferris Bueller’s girlfriend, Sloane his lover. Weird thing is, we never hit a movie with JCVD as a lead. Miyagi he played in “ Kickboxer: Vengeance.” Behind him, it has to be JCVD, with his horrible comedy chops in “ Welcome to the Jungle” and the homeless man’s version of Mr. Like we saw last week with “ Grease,” John Travolta defines the JOE-DOWN. So what’s a good way to celebrate? With the man that started the JOE-DOWN: Jean-Claude Van Damme. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 44 percent Our take:īrown: We are coming awfully close to our third year of doing the JOE-DOWN. Plot Summary: (From IMDB) Max Walker, an officer for a security agency that regulates time travel, must fend for his life against a shady politician who’s intent on changing the past to control the future. Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mia Sara, Ron Silver
