One of our newest Bad Movie Knights, Ryan (welcome to the fold sir), suggested a glossary term that covers Belgium's finest martial artist, and gift to the world.....Jean Claude Van Damme.

Mr. Van Damme has forged a successful film career base solely on kicking the shit out of people and doing leg splits and for 20 years, he has starred in over 30 features and managed to avoiding acting in every single one of them.

Jean Claude Van Damme has left his mark (or stain, depending upon your point of view) on Hollywood, much in the same manner that Arnold Schwarzenegger has. He doesnt just follow the formulaic action movie model, but he has also created a tag line for which his fans can always remember him. No, Van Damme doesn't say "I'll be back!" during every feature (most likely because he can't....the man can barely speak), rather Van Damme embraces the silence, and finds a way to remove his pants and fully display his glistening buttocks. Van Damme's calling card has always been unneccessarily showcasing his award winning ass on the big screen in just about every film he has ever been in.

Van DAMN!! is defined as that moment in a film when a male ass is presented for an unnaturally extended length of time. If you find yourself staring at a pair of well sculpted, recently oiled, freshly shaven male buttocks for longer than a second and knowingly not rented gay porn....then you have been Van DAMNED!!

Note: This glossary term does not apply in any way to Patrick Swayze films, he get's a pass.....cuz come on....it's Swayze!
