Double Van Dammage
The Cinema Duces Tecum goes full splits as they dive crotch-first into the 1991 Jean-Claude Van Damme twin-sanity, Double Impact—a movie that dares to ask, “What if one JCVD isn’t enough… and two is borderline unwatchable?”
One is slick, the other is greasy. One wears silk underwear. The other probably hasn’t worn underwear since Reagan was in office. Together, they team up to avenge their murdered parents, reclaim the family fortune, and possibly invent new forms of emotional trauma.
As the crew unpacks this sweat-soaked action fever dream, important legal and philosophical questions emerge:
Does one’s silk underwear wardrobe count as admissible character evidence—or fashion over substance?
Is running an evil syndicate from the “Climax Club” fraudulent business practice or just shameful branding?
- When Alex and Chad infiltrate with a rigged Cognac box—does that count as diplomatic gift-giving or terrorism in the first degree?
- Bolo Yeung’s character: mentor or metaphor for toxic masculinity? And does flexing count as emotional development?
In classic Cinema Duces Tecum fashion, the episode ends in a mock trial—and this time, justice pulls a double split.
Next up: the crew locks itself behind bars with JCVD’s Death Warrant, where prison corruption runs deep, the plot makes parole early, and one man’s roundhouse kick might just fix the system.
