The highest-grossing film of Jean-Claude Van Damme‘s career, Timecop stars the kickboxing action star as an officer of the Time Enforcement Commission who attempt to prevent those from misusing time travel now that it has been discovered. Aside from a few flashes here and there in the past (the machine only allows you to travel backwards and then return to your own time), the film primarily takes place in two time periods. We get the early 90s where Max and his wife (Mia Sara) are attacked prior to him ever joining the TEC, and we get the near-future or present (ten years later) where Max is a more grizzled veteran of the agency.

Hard Target

This movie has Jean-Claude Van Damme punching a snake and Wilford Brimley, while sporting a Cajun accent, shooting arrows into people. More than 20 years after its release Hard Target feels every bit the B-movie early 1990s action flick it is. Notable for teaming up action star Van Damme (as an out-of-work Cajun soldier in Louisiana) and director John Woo (in his first American film) the film delivers audiences stunts, action sequences, and the large number of wide-eyed reaction shots from co-star Yancy Butler looking directly into the camera.

The story brings Natasha (Butler) to New Orleans in search of her missing father, a homeless veteran who was recrutied by a group of demented sprotsmen (Lance Henriksen, Arnold Vosloo, and others) who enjoy hunting humans for sport. A chance meeting, so to speak, with Chance Boudreaux (Van Damme), who is in need of some quick cash to get back to sea, leads the pair to team-up to investigate what really happened to the woman’s father and track down those responsible.
