Now just call this the best news I’ve heard all week! Word flying aroudn the web this hour is that Jean Claude Van Damme has indeed singed on to appear as a bad guy in Rush Hour 3! Oh my sweet goodness! I LOVE IT!
Make Van Damme a dark brooding bad guy who doesn’t have too many lines and just kicks the shit out of a lot of people and you’ve got GOLD on your hands! Holy crap! Just the thought of seeing Van Damme and Chan fight it out at the end is pure Viagara for the male soul! This would be a stroke of casting genius!!!!
The good folks over at AICN give us the following:
Jean Claude Van Damme has signed on to play the main villain in “Rush Hour 3″(set to film in August). It involves Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker getting mixed up with Triads in Paris. Van Damme spoke on a recent British TV Show about it and was looking forward to working with Jackie Chan.
This is total perfection. The only problem is that they only have enough money left to pay Van Damme bus fare and lunches after giving that hack Chris Tucker $25 million bucks. But I’ll tell you right damn now… when I go to see Rush Hour 3 it will be to see Chan fight Van Damme… not to see Tucker doing his old “I wanna be Eddie Murphy in his prime” routine.
Hell yes! Van Damme in Rush hour 3! Is there anything that could be better?!?!?! Joy!!!! Thanks to Varun for the heads up.
