Van Damme asked his fans for their favourite JCVD one-liners and the answers did not disappoint…
Jean-Claude Van Damme recently took to Twitter to poll his fans on their favourite one-liners from JCVD action movies gone by.
The Muscles from Brussels was evidently in the mood to reminisce, taking to social media to share an image from his 1993 classic Hard Target alongside the classic line : “Now take your big stick and your boyfriend and find a bus to catch!”

Keen to interact with his loyal ultimate action movie-loving followers, Van Damme posed the question: What’s your favorite one liner from any of my movies?
The answers did not disappoint.
A few fans came back with some classics from TimeCop:
“I’m still kicking, I must be on Broadway.” #TimeCop

Back on the big screen with his gritty new effort The Bouncer (watch the trailer here), it’s fair to say Van Damme still has many admirers in the action movie community – us included!
Never change, JCVD, never change.
