he has the most famous growing muscles
in movie history
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
jean-claude Van Damme splits impressive
isn’t he it’s exceeding expectations for
this list we’re taking a look at those
instances when the muscles from Brussels
delighted fans with a spectacular show
of crotch chiller flexibility we may
have grown accustomed to seeing Van
Damme drop down and get his eagle on but
we haven’t grown tired of it especially
not when he’s finding new and exciting
ways to make us reflexively cross our
legs
number ten low blow bloodsport good you
a good fighter you good good thanks
when you’re up against a veritable giant
of a man in what could turn out to be a
martial arts battle to the death you
might have to pull out your absolute
best tricks
in JCV DS case that means dropping into
a split and executing an uppercut to
your opponent’s Frank and beans
it certainly worked enough to fully
incapacitate his adversary in this case
but what about his own hot pocket does
it not suffer it’s personal number 9
splitting Tiger Hidden Van Damme cyborg
we all know that when you’re a pirate in
a post-apocalyptic wasteland you have no
time to look up especially not when
you’re on the attack because if you did
look up you’d see the growing of a man
perched in an exquisite split waiting to
slice the hell out of you it may be an
unconventional way to lay in wait for
your target but this is Van Damme we’re
talking about
number eight feel the stretch kickboxer
I want you to teach me won’t I
really every once in a while you may
wonder how you can get your legs ready
to bust out a split at a moment’s notice
and the answer isn’t a Pilates machine
it involves ropes the jungle and having
a trainer who wants to ensure you reach
maximum splits efficiency and when
you’re trying to get revenge on the man
who paralyzed your brother in the
kickboxing ring you’re gonna need that
efficiency although it looks like JCVD
can’t handle the strain we know he’s
faking it what a chance he’d split his
legs behind his body if he could
number seven dancing machine kickboxer
oh yeah dancing I’m good why this little
tidbit may be missing from the pickup
artist manual but the ladies do love a
good split especially if you’re some
random expat they’re dancing with and
you drop down into a split twice for no
discernible reason it’s irresistible
JCVD actually manages to get in yet
another split in this very scene while
fighting off a group of attackers
because his splits aren’t just sexy
they’re also useful
number six knives and splits black eagle
we’re wondering if JCV Dee’s character
just asked for two barrels and a fistful
of knives and told everybody to stand
back and watch the show that’s really
the only way this particular scene makes
sense in a film about Cold War paranoia
missing scientists and top-secret
weapons three of those planes were
carrying highly secret laser guidance
systems there are a myriad of ways to
waste time when you’re a KGB agent
aboard a seafaring vessel and shirtless
mid split knife-throwing seems as good
an activity as any and it clearly boosts
crew morale
number five ladies love cool splits
double impact he is doing well if you
were doubting the effectiveness of the
splits as a tool of seduction you
obviously haven’t seen Van Dam’s
courting methods he takes a moment away
from manhandling a woman he’s helping to
stretch to drop down into a split in
front of a gaggle of lady gym goers like
it’s nothing because of my big legs and
karate I can do the splits no prob from
the ooze and aahs of his captive
audience clearly both the spandex and
the split are the best way for him to
display his talents good number four on
the ropes no retreat no surrender
Eastern Europe’s most feared martial
artist Ivan you know those moments when
you’re in the middle of a full-contact
karate match and look over and your bad
guy Russian opponent is doing the splits
on the ropes while staring you in the
eye you can thank John Claude Van Damme
for those moments in fact you can thank
him for punctuating all of his fights
with splits because it adds an artistic
flair usually lacking in brutal attacks
number three splitting on the edge
bloodsport earth-2 Frankie this is
ground control you copy there are times
when we need to step back from the
hustle and bustle of life take a break
and center our thoughts hey you know you
better stop doing that stuff you might
want to have kids one of these days well
for some of us that might mean taking a
nap or reading a book for JCVD that
translates to spread-eagle meditation
while perched on a balcony ledge because
nothing says serenity like unnecessarily
dangerous displays of flexibility set to
80’s pop rock
number two safety split Timecop
I never quit it seems like none of John
clogged Van Dam’s characters can catch a
break he’s a time enforcement commission
agent whose wife was killed 10 years ago
and he’s just come back from a bad day
at the office so he wants to take a nap
but two goons break into his home and
he’s forced to defend himself after
making short work of one henchman he’s
faced with another genius armed with a
Taser in true JCVD fashion the best
course of action to avoid an electric
shock is to jump into an impressive
split on the counter 50,000 volts mother
have a nice day
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions and you will be
doing your thing I will be I’ll be doing
this
number one the legend returns volvo
commercial I’ve had my ups and downs my
fair share of bumpy roads and heavy
winds after a lifetime of gracing
audiences with his unparalleled
on-screen splitting ability JCVD decided
to show folks that he still got it the
body crafted to perfection a pair of
legs engineered to defy the laws of
physics and a mindset to master the most
epic of splits what better way to let us
know that you’re not having a midlife
crisis than to do the splits atop two
reversing Volvo 18-wheelers all jokes
aside it’s actually pretty incredible
and contrary to what you might be
thinking was apparently not a green
screen effect
it may have had us silently cringing the
whole time but it spawned many equally
epic internet parodies
do you agree with our list yeah
what do you think is Van Dam’s greatest
split
