» In the late 80s to mid-90s, if you were looking for an action star who could kick butt, you were probably looking at Jean-Claude Van Damme whose movies like Bloodsport (1988), Kickboxer (1989), Double Impact (1991) Universal Soldier (1992), Hard Target (1993) and Maximum Risk (1996) were among martial arts action favourites.
