Ranking Jean-Claude Van Damme's Boss Fights

6. Double Team

Van Damme's Role: Jack Quinn, a counter-terrorist hellbent on capturing "the one that got away," Stavros (Mickey Rourke), and saving his kidnapped wife.

The Bad Guy: To put it nicely, Mickey Rourke of 1997 is much different than Mickey Rourke of 2015. Sure, the Rourke who appeared in Double Team is a little more athletic and less haggard looking, but he's also about as charismatic as a bowl of potatoes and half as intimidating.

The Fight in a Nutshell: Dennis Rodman helps Jean-Claude Van Damme fight Mickey Rourke and his pet tiger. If this movie was released tomorrow, that sentence would be the only thing needed on the main poster. But there's more to this fight, with Van Damme performing uncharacteristically quick kicks amidst some fast-paced camerawork. Though there was probably some wire trickery at play here, this change-up in choreography is refreshing.
