Video Vagabond

Video Vagabond is a filmmaking podcast that delves deep into the films of the 80s/90s and how those movies defined a generation of fans that are now creating their own influential content. Vagabond will be breaking-down films from our collective childhood, the ones that still haunt our dreams like implanted memories, the ones that defined who we were as a generation of unsupervised, bicycle-riding kids who read the Anarchist's Cookbook for fun and ate Green Berets for breakfast. This podcast is for you.

EP10 - "Double Impact" (1991) - Thursday Night Prime - (w/Skip Segal)

May 17, 2022 • Anthony • Season 1 • Episode 10

Video Vagabond celebrates it's double-digit entry with two Van Dammes for the price of one as we hilariously breakdown one of our TOP FIVE JCVD FILMS - "Double Impact" (1991). This film absolutely rocks. It's filled with loads of unintentional comedy, great fight sequences, memorable quotes, and balls-to-the-wall action.

DOUBLE IMPACT tells that tale of two twin brothers, separated from birth after their parents' gruesome murders, as they reunite in order to avenge their parents' death. Van Damme pulls double-duty as he plays Chad, the happy-go-lucky LA dance/karate instructor, who becomes a fish-out-of-water as he travels to Hong Kong to meet Alex (also played by JCVD!), a rough-and-tumble scoundrel with slicked-back hair and an all-black wardrobe.

This is Van Damme at his apex! This is Van Damme's double-album! That's right, hot take, DOUBLE IMPACT is JCVD's the WHITE ALBUM!

Join us as we also rank JCVD's TOP FIVE FILMS (1988-1997) during his amazing run where he was #3 behind Arnold and Stallone as action-heroes of the 80s/90s!

We hope you enjoy!
