Title: Hey did you ever notice.

You ever notice JCVD's movies all have the same basic plot? His friend or relative gets the crap kicked out of him, then JCVD goes and kicks the crap out of the other guy?

Perhaps. Sometimes you have to dig a small hole to find more of the plot.

In Double Impact he/his brother are taking revenge in a not-as-noticable way. With Bloodsport, he joins the tournament to honor is Shidoshi and in Kickboxer he wants revenge on Tong-Po for paralyzing his brother. With Hard Target, tho, he's helping a woman find her father and then solve his death until the bad guys hunt him--then he hunts them. Nowhere to Run involves him helping a (hot) woman with corrupt men who insist on owning her land--even by excessive force. Hell, the film Sudden Death was just Die Hard in a hockey stadium and Timecop involved him trying to stop a corrupt senator from stealing money and killing people thru time travel to control America in hte future.

So really, not all of them are like you think--but it's a common steriotype for him, like Seagal.

Yeah I do have to agree the storyplots are different, but JCVD is the same chacter in each movie :/
Not true. He plays martial artists in Kickboxer and Bloodsport; an outlaw in Cyborg; a merchant in Hard Target; a Col. in Street Fighter; a french cop in Maximum Risk; a French Foreign Legion soldier-turn-street fighter in Lionheart; a criminal and a fitness instructor in Double Impact; a fire marshall in Sudden Death; a time cop in Timecop, etc.

That's no problem. I'm not mad, just trying to make a point. And yes, SF was a horrible movie, although I rented it MANY times from West Coast Video as a kid. [pico]
