Get ready for a double dose of laughs and head-scratching as the Four Takes Movie Podcast dives into the 1991 Jean-Claude Van Damme classic, Double Impact! Join Martin, David, Luke, and Adam as they discuss a film that Martin might even debate was a movie.
In this episode, you'll discover the truly wild plot about twins orphaned when triads kill their family over a hole in the ground (aka a tunnel). Raised separately, they reunite with matching French accents and embark on a vengeance-fueled killing rampage to reclaim their birthright, despite having no legal right to it.
The team show continuous amusement over the film's poor writing, editing, and continuity, noting instances where blood packs go off before characters are shot, stage sets are visible through doors, and characters mysteriously switching guns mid-gunfire. Keep an eye out for that Acme tunnel painting at the beginning!.
Appreciation for Jean-Claude Van Damme's dual role as Pretty Boy Chad and Bad Boy Alex, which they agree is the best part of the film.
A bewildered discussion about an imaginary sex scene that went on for a long time and was totally unnecessary but led to an extremely well edited fight between the two Van Dammes. Plus, witness Alex's superhuman ability to drink three-quarters of a whiskey bottle and blow it out his nose, only to be fine the next day!
The overall sentiment that despite being a poor film and daft, it's fun and enjoyable if you've got an hour and 50 minutes to spare. Though David might suggest cleaning the oven instead!
Tune in for insights on practical effects (including a real live frog being chopped... and sliced on screen), the film's modest $15 million budget compared to Terminator 2's $100 million, and the amusing sight of real people in Hong Kong watching the filming rather than acting as extras.
