Say what you want about Jean-Claude Van Damme but the man never seems to be short on ideas. In a recent interview, the martial arts star pitched his idea for a sequel - or is it reboot? - to his early 90’s flick “Double Impact.” You’ll remember it as the movie where Van Damme played ass-kicking twins separated at birth. Read up on Van Damme’s story pitch at the link: http://www.cityonfire.com/jean-claude-van-damme-to-make-an-appearance-in-bloodsport-remake/

In a new article, Jean-Claude Van Damme reveals how the ending fight scene of “The Expendables 2” was a lot different before he convinced Stallone to add an epic confrontation between the two action icons. Van Damme’s words to Stallone: “Look at your arms, you’re strong. We need to do a fight. I need to give you myself to punch and kick the s**t out of me.“ http://www.cityonfire.com/expendables-2-date-confirmed/
