9 Famous Actors With Incredibly Embarrassing Film Debuts

6. Jean-Claude Van Damme - Monaco Forever

The Movie: When an American jewel thief heads to Western Europe to perform a heist, he gets more than he bargains for. Hijinks ensue for an insanely brief runtime (48 minutes, to be exact), and is mostly just a bunch of disconnected vignettes.

Nothing much of importance happens. Consider it a much worse, much longer episode of Seinfeld. In French.

The Role: Van Damme makes an appearance in one of the vignettes, picking up a hitchhiker (the jewel thief) in his penis-shaped convertible. For reasons that are never made clear, he's also wearing a karate gi and driving gloves. Billed only as "Gay Karate Man", Van Damme makes aggressive advances on the tuxedo-wearing jewel thief, groping his leg and telling him things like "You have strong legs."

When the thief demands he stop the car so he can teach the young Van Damme a lesson (calling him a "f**," because the '80s were all kinds of uncomfortable), JCVD rips off his shirt and starts doing the high kicks that made him famous, but this time with a little more...let's call it pizzazz.
