== Limited Releases of Direct-to-video movies ==

Hello worldwide wikipedia users !
I just came here to ask if it's possible to do a little edit about the movies listed for JCVD.
The following ones :
- The Order
- Derailed
- In Hell
- Wake of Death
- Until Death
- Swelter

Had limited releases around the world, according to imdb : https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000241/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm

Please can you fix them by mentionning "Limited release" instead of "Direct-to-video" ?
Thanks.

Martial Arts Career

There are questionable claims stated: That Van Damme was a member of the Belgium Team in 1979 when they were supposed to have won the European Karate Championship held in Brussel. Although 2 sources are cited, the fact is the 1979 European Karate Championship was held in Helsinki, Finland in May 4 to May6 and not Dec as claimed and it was the team from the Netherlands who won gold, France won silver, and Finland won bronze. And no individuals from Belgium placed in Kumite, kata, or open Kumite. There is something seriously wrong with this whole section on Van Damme's martial arts career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.230.236.74 (talk) 02:41, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Van Damme as a solitary surname

Last time I checked you don't use "of Somewhere" surnames as solitary identifiers even with context established. This is simply because "of New York" or "of Paris" or "of Damme" doesn't identify the family in question, let alone the person in context. It's disrespectful in a way. 2601:C:AB80:3D1:BE5F:F4FF:FE35:1B41 (talk) 07:13, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Van Damme" is the surname by which he is most commonly known. Please see WP:SURNAME.
Notice that that doesn't address "of Location" surnames. See Leonardo da Vinci. Likewise, search through the article and find a single place "da Vinci" is used isolated. The appropriate address is either "Jean-Claude" or "Jean-Claude van Damme"... but never "Van Damme" which simply reads "of Damme". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C:AB80:3D1:BE5F:F4FF:FE35:1B41 (talk) 03:56, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Except that "van" doesn't mean "of" in English, and even in Dutch, where it does mean "of", the surname is still used on its own. See the Dutch version of the article, for example. Perhaps the lack of such usage on the da Vinci article is due to rejection of a lower-case name, but such usage can be found elsewhere on the web, such as on the BBC. Peking Duck (talk) 10:45, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"da Vinci" ISN'T a surname, it's just a moniker given to him to distinguish him from other people named Leonardo. People of his class at that time and place did not have surnames. "Van Damme" IS a surname, and is used as such by modern people in the current world, regardless of its origin and meaning. So these things are not comparable to each other. 62.78.251.108 (talk) 10:06, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The "v" should never be capitalised, though.

Expendables 3

The part about The expendables 3 should be modified, now that he's obviously not in it.aps (talk) 19:29, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

Can someone with an account correct the infobox to say "screenwriter" rather than "sreenwriter". It appears on line 7, occupation: "| occupation = Actor, martial artist, sreenwriter, film producer, director" I see the article is locked, and have no interest in registering. Thank you and best wishes. 96.231.140.161 (talk) 21:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Views on Rothshild and Rockefeller?

Should his political views, for example on world politics, globalists vs anti-globalists, Trump, Rothshild and Rockefeller, be mentioned? --Mats33 (talk) 18:02, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Desert Heat

In the filmography section I think they're missing Desert Heat. Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Danny Trejo, and Pat Morita. International star and martial arts master Jean-Claude Van Damme kicks into high gear in DESERT HEAT, a scorching, high intensity action-thriller. Desperate to flee the inner demons raging inside him, mysterious loner Eddie Lomax (Van Damme) rides to the last outpost of an abandoned desert highway, prepared to end it all. But when a savage gang steals his prized cycle and leaves him for dead, Eddie's life is saved by a soulmate from his past. Burning with a new reason to live, Eddie sets off on a one-man search and destroy mission against his attackers. Fueled by Van Damme's powerful, take-no-prisoners performance, DESERT HEAT is an explosively sexy and sensational adventure from first blast to last. 2604:6000:D602:B900:545C:AB0E:74F6:16C (talk) 02:42, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Brad 10202 W.

Jean-Claude was coked out of his mind,” says de Souza

Jean-Claude Van Damme Was 'Coked Out of His Mind' During 'Street Fighter,' Director Steven de Souza says

Van Damme it all In a cast full of young newcomers and civilised character actors, Jean-Claude Van Damme stood out as the archetypal movie star, with an ego to match. As he later admitted, he also came into Street Fighter with a major cocaine habit. At one stage in the 1990s, he was hoovering 10g a day; and $10,000 a week.

“I couldn’t talk about it at the time, but I can now: Jean-Claude was coked out of his mind,” says de Souza. “The studio had hired a wrangler to take care of him, but unfortunately the wrangler himself was a bad influence. Jean-Claude was calling in sick so much I had to keep looking through the script to find something else to film; I couldn’t just sit around for hours waiting for him. On two occasions, the producers allowed him to go to Hong Kong, and both occasions he came back late – on Mondays he just wasn’t there at all.”

It seems some people forgot all these... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:810A:7F00:F99A:43E0:DD47:6D7F (talk) 00:06, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you want to write about it go to the controveries section I supposed.Filmman3000 (talk) 19:34, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overly long section titles; insane number of subsections; lack of references... Overall this article is crap

The overly long section titles make the table of contents ludicrously wide and unreadable. I have never seen another article on Wikipedia where the section titles were so long that they actually wrapped over multiple lines. For example, the following:

  • "2.5 Mid to late 1990s: Moderate Success: Sudden Death, The Quest, and Maximum Risk. Decline: Double Team, Knock Off, and Universal Soldier: The Return."

That could simply be shortened to "2.5 Mid to late 1990s: Moderate Success".

In addition, it seems like substantial overkill to have a subsection on each on movie. None of which contain any references! For example, section 2.5 contains all of the following subsections, not a single one of which has a citation in it:

  • 2.5.1 Sudden Death
  • 2.5.2 Friends
  • 2.5.3 The Quest
  • 2.5.4 Maximum Risk
  • 2.5.5 Double Team
  • 2.5.6 Knock Off
  • 2.5.7 Legionnaire
  • 2.5.8 Universal Soldier: The Return
  • 2.5.9 Inferno

This article is fancruft crap and large parts of it need to be nuked or rewritten. 142.167.242.182 (talk) 16:36, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You need to log in and show which editor you are. You say "This article is fancruft crap and large parts of it need to be nuked or rewritten." Well do something about it. Don't ask :for others to do it for you, but I forgot you can't read a TOC when the headings are too long so entire article is too much for you.
This article needed serious work before I got involved so I put all project in order and copied the text from the article about the film in question. This is how far I will go. Sometime I go on page on stuff I am not particularly interested in, and will add citations and remove an link to an un-existing page, etc.
Now something should be said about subheading. I over did them. I have way too much but they helped me put everything in order.
This article is not good but better than what it was. Overall crap... Compared to your anonymous contributions they are a masterpiece. And please refrain yourself from vulgar language you lose Good faith in your arguments.Filmman3000 (talk) 18:22, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't need to log in. I'm an IP editor because I don't want an account. And the table of contents here is still unreadably dense. The ToC does not need to mention every single movie he's ever been in. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger's table of contents also has too many subsections, but at least I can read the damn thing and find what I'm looking for. Something like this is completely unnecessary:

*2.6 2000s: Subsequent films and critical breakthrough.

  • 2.6.1 Second collaboration with RIngo Lam: Replicant
  • 2.6.2 Subsequent films: The Order (third film directed by Sheldon Lettich), and Derailed
  • 2.6.3 Third collaboration with RIngo Lam: In Hell
  • 2.6.4 Music video: Bob Sinclar's "Kiss My Eyes." Subsequent film: Wake of Death. Supporting role: Narco
  • 2.6.5 Subsequent films: Second in Command, The Hard Corps (fourth film directed by Sheldon Lettich), and Until Death. Supporting role: The Exam
  • 2.6.6 Critical breakthrough: JCVD
  • 2.6.7 Subsequent films: The Shepherd: Border Patrol and Universal Soldier: Regeneration (first collaboration with John Hyams)
Also, a substantial amount of the content is about the movies, not about him. 142.167.242.182 (talk) 13:20, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He's an actor of course his career is strictly about him and the movies. Other section are about his personal life. That statement makes no sense.
Maybe buy some glasses because I have no problems reading them. It is really useful when I need to work on a specific section I click on the milestone and I am there. Also if I :::want to jump strait to what I want to read.
Are you interested in the subject matter otherwise it feels like you are stalking my edits.
Regarding Arnold S., Arnold' career is much more different compared to his, and I agree with the headings in both article. The only good thing about the fact that you showed me :::this page is I did a little work on it. That should have been obvious to you.Filmman3000 (talk) 19:31, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent addition of self-cited material

This edit keeps being made. It is not appropriate for a number of reasons.

Van Damme is notable as an action movie actor, not for his teenage successes at karate. If there is to be any mention of them, it should be short - not take up half the lead, more space than the stuff he's actually known for.

It is also unsuitably cited to Van Damme's own website (not independent, so no indication of significance and likely to exaggerate his successes and not mention any failures) and a random wordpress site that has copied his own Website (not a reliable source, or a new one).

The edit then adds "His films have particularly had a great influence within Asian cinema." However, leaving aside the reliability of the cite, what it actually discusses is Van Damme working with people from Asian cinema. The closest we get is "But when it comes to his movies, he has a great influence within Asian Cinema, using many directors and choreographers in his movies"; but it's pretty clear in context that all it's saying is that he works with many people in Asian cinema. There is zero discussion in the cite as to any influence he has had on Asian films. Pinkbeast (talk) 03:28, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Limited Releases of Direct-to-video movies

Hello worldwide wikipedia users ! I just came here to ask if it's possible to do a little edit about the movies listed for JCVD. The following ones : - The Order - Derailed - In Hell - Wake of Death - Until Death - Swelter
