Watch Double Impact For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

A Masterpiece!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Okay.This is a Van Damme movie. Let's go over the recipe.1/2 Pint of Napoleonic dude overcompensating by not just wearing lift shoes, but by gettin' all Kung Phooey and such.58 Gallons of Violence and Kung Phooey Stuff.1 Ton of Hypocrisy.0 ounces Star Material (Names, A-listers, B-listers, C-listers or even D-listers.)45 unknowns.1 renowned skin flick chick, who doesn't get nude.1 unknown chick who does get nude and later goes on to skin flick fame. Preferred would be she has a huge bosom, entirely fake, and when her clothes are off, it's completely apparent. Make sure her hair is dyed, preferably from something really dark to blonde, so that her eyebrows are severely apparent.1 Cornucopia of guns and weapons with absolutely unlimited ammunition.1 Foreign setting, depicted with as much racism as possible.1 Teeny Weeny Tiny BudgetPreheat oven to "on." In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Slowly stir in unknown chick, mixing in just enough nudity to achieve an "R" rating. Hype with all available tenacity. Put in oven and let this turkey get nice and botulism-ed. Serves all who can stomach.The only non-Hong Kong Phooey aspect of this film worth watching is Alonna Shaw, and just one second or so of Julie Strain. Keep your remote handy and watch Julie Strain stretch at the start. Pause here. Keep this image on your TV for at least a half hour. Then fast forward until you see Alonna Shaw topless. Pause, rewind, frame advance at your leisure. Take your time. An hour or so will do. These scenes are the only reason the movie rates a six.When finished, eject movie and replace with anything else out of Hollywood.

Playing two characters in the one movie is no mean feat, especially before CGI (just ask Jerry Lewis) and Jean-Claude should have been awarded an Encouragement Award at the Oscars for his punching above the weight performance. Also Alonna Shaw is incredibly hot in Double Impact and it's a shame she didn't go on to bigger things in her movie career.

Double Impact (1991) was my favorite childhood Van Damme movie, beside Bloodsport was this movie my favorite. I grew up with this film I love this movie to death! Bolo Yeung was also in this movie as Moon, Zhang's killer. The fight at the end between Van Damme and Bolo Yeung was the best just like was in Bloodsport. The story was adrenaline action packed and Van Damme played double role in here and he did an excellent job as Alex and Chad two different characters. I always loved this movie and I love the action and the fight choreographer from Jean-Claude Van Damme, I like his spin kick and his martial arts in this movie. Van Damme fights the same guy from Bloodsport. I love this movie a lot, it is bloody full action packed fire guns.What I love in this movie is a great supporting cast, Geoffrey Lewis was a great support cast as Uncle Frank who raised Chad. Alonna Shaw as Danielle Wilde was a great as Alex girlfriend. Their was one imaginary sexy scene that really did not mean anything. Corinna Everson as Kara as Griffith's bodyguard was terrific, here we first time see a women who is a villain in a action movie. In the 90's I don't remember seeing any women been a villain. Corinna was a perfect choice for playing Kara. Philip Chan as Raymond Zhang was awesome he was even in John Woo's Hard Boiled and Bloodsport. The movie it self reflects more on Van Damme's life: Chad was really Van Damme, he was raised in Belgium in this film his character was raised in Paris, but with Frank they moved to America. Now after 25.years they come back to Hong Kong in which they track down Alex, together they avenge their parents death. Alex is a bad ass in this movie. He looks so scary, that even I wouldn't dare to cross his path. I love Van Damme in two roles he is great. I have enjoyed this movie a lot and had a lot of fun.The contrast between the two characters of Chad and Alex is amazing. The happy go lucky playboy and the brooding street fighting bad ass. You really do get the feeling that there's two Van Dammes in the world and they're right there on screen together. And Chad is one my favorite JCVD characters he's ever played. I love the action sequences, the gun play, the fights and the story that works. In my opinion this movie is very underrated. It was my childhood favorite movie and it always will be.I am giving a 10, because the movie has a good action and nice martial arts, but it also does have a plot hole that I don't like.

Coming out during the twilight of Jean-Claude Van Damme's career, it was something less than impressive. But a decent time-waster at best and for the price of one we would get two Van Damme's on screen. Twins unknowingly separated, to only meet up again 25 years later. Nice. Where else could we see Van Damme beating himself up, feuding over things and eventually teaming up to kick-ass. And there's a lot ass kicking, as well gun blazing to go with the martial arts. That's John Woo style. Slow motion galore. Bullets. Blood. Bodies piling up. Add plenty of broken bones. And nose bleeds. The action is brutal and high-energy. Van Damme cops a real work out. Where he has a whole bunch of villains (a gleeful Alan Scarfe and spiteful Phillip Chan), their henchman and Triad gangs to get through. He goes up against an old foe; Bolo Yeung (of "Bloodsport" fame) and female athlete / body builder Corinna Everson whose choice of fashion is almost upstaged by Van Damme himself. Then we got a bodyguard who uses the spurs on his boot to inflict pain. While stuck in the middle of the two Van Dammes is the always enjoyable character actor Geoffrey Lewis and the ravishing blonde Alonna Shaw. The simple plot (which was co-written by Van Damme) is clean-cut by setting up the motivation at the beginning and then the twins unite to seek vengeance on those involved in the murder of their parents. Also for laughs there's numerous mistaken identity scenarios, Van Damme's colourful fashion sense (the lover-boy one) and the macho script likes to have people telling others to virtually get f**k. Set in Hong Kong, director Sheldon Lettich (who directed Van Damme a year earlier in "Lionheart") strikes up some local flavour, amazingly tough action bursts and all at a reliable pace. Bold, but standard Jean-Claude Van Damme 90s action vehicle."When you find them. Bring back their bodies".
