I think it’s just the picture, not the biggest chest but I wouldn’t knock him.

Make it the Cannonball run of action flicks.
No Jean Claude please. He sucks ass.[/quote]
You need to watch JCVD. It’s actually a good Jean-Claude Van Damme movie.

I thought the same.

Ya know, I have heard nothing but good things about this movie.
But I loved Timecop as a kid…so, maybe my standards are set low.

Van Damme was actually offered the role that Dolph Lungren will play. He turned it down for reasons unknown. But please, for the love of God, I implore you to replace Seagal with Carl Weathers before it’s too late…
P.S. I still think that Timecop is one of Van Damme’s best movies.
P.P.S. Speaking of Timecop, did you know that Ron Silver died on Sunday?

Yeah, I agree. I think you really kinda have to judge action movies by the era they were produced in. I mean, sure, the all-time classics are still great today (Die Hard 1, Pale Rider–not technically action, etc, etc) and definitely hold up favorably when compared to modern works (cinematography style differences aside) but overall it’s unfair to judge a movie by standards 10+ years after it was made. Things evolve and change too quick.
I mean, Rambo looks kinda lacking today just because of the lack of realism that films today portray in acting methods (better/more realistic dying reactions from getting shot) and better mimicry of shooting technique (ie–your rifle is actually shouldered appropriately instead of shot from the hip and sprayed around). But come on, for the time it was AWESOME. And it’s still a fantastic movie today for entertainment purposes and sentimental value. It doesn’t matter that the flaws are there because we love it anyway!

If I recall correctly, the chest is one of the first things to atrophy in old age. If you look at great former bodybuilders who still train hard today, you’ll find a lot of them lack the size in their chest compared to the rest of their body (look at some of Drapers pics of him now…bigger than Sly’s but obviously smaller in comparison to the rest of him than it was).
If you go by Poliquin’s biosignature modulation readings, the chest is a prime androgen site, and androgen levels decrease with age, even if gH is used.
Besides, I think flyues might be one of the world’s most iffy movements to an old guy with a lot of accumulated injuries from decades of iron training.
