10 Famous People You Forgot Were In Jean-Claude Van Damme Movies
4. Danny Trejo - Desert Heat (aka Infero) (1999)
Danny Trejo has been in hundreds of movies and shows. By the law of averages, at least one movie was bound to be alongside Van Damme. The Machete man appeared in Desert Heat (1999), as Eddie’s (JCVD) pal, Johnny Sixtoes.
Eddie, a suicidal war veteran, is beaten and left for dead by thugs who steal his motorcycle. Nursed back to health by his army buddy Johnny, Eddie vows to go back into town, find the thugs and get his bike. The pair are joined by Mr. Early (Pat Morita) on their quest for vengeance. Desert Heat is a strange one, it is often overlooked as it is neither exceptionally good nor exceptionally bad. This okay action flick gets lost in the mix.
The real shame with Desert Heat’is what could have been. Considering it was directed by John G. Avildsen (Rocky’(1976) and The Karate Kid (1984)) Desert Heat' could have been more.
