Nicknamed "The Muscles from Brussels," longtime fan-favorite superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme is one of the biggest action heroes of the late 1980s and early '90s. Right up there with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sly Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Bruce Willis, Van Damme set himself apart from the bigger field of film fighters by being a highly trained martial artist himself long before he was an actor.
Though originally cast because of his impressive high kicks and furious flying fists, he soon proved that he was more than just a dominating physical presence, that he was a dashing and charismatic leading man too. And with Schwarzenneger proving that a strong accent could be an asset to an action star's appeal, Van Damme's Belgian roots and unmistakable French charm made him all the more recognizable to audiences. Mix it all together, and Van Damme becomes an unstoppable force on screen, one who starred in some of the most beloved action films of his generation.
From his earliest big-screen fight movies to his latest dark, sobering psychological dramas, Van Damme has been through the wringer in his career. So tape up those knuckles and strap on a sidearm, because this is every Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, ranked from worst to best.
