Timecop (1994) Home Invasion.
The highest grossing film of Van Damme’s prime, Timecop proved to be another sci-fi success for the action star having previously battled in the genre two years prior in Universal Soldier – a financial success also. Despite showing a little amount of grey within a healthy mullet, Van Damme’s kick-ass fighting fails to display any sign of ageing. If anything, his physique looks better than ever too.
A peaceful sleep? No chance. Equipped with 50,000 volts, knives, and pain, the bad guys are sent to Max Walker’s (Van Damme) house to take him out, but little do they know, Walker hates his sleep getting interrupted. A domesticated fight, taking place all over the living room and kitchen, we are witness to one of Van Damme’s more technical fights – the usage of knives disarms his traditional moveset, but instead, adds a new layer to the spectacle of Van Damme, which concludes with the most absurd display of athleticism in action cinema.
