Easily the best Van Damme movie, mainly because his acting is minimal and the fighting is the focus of the story. The variety of martial arts styles and awesome supporting performances (Donald "Ogre" Gibb in particular..."Hey baby, how'd ya like ta go out with a real big man? Too handsome for ya, huh honey?") make this one a winner.
