Maximum Risk (1996)

It’s too bad the built babe Jean-Claude Van Damme shows minimal skin in Maximum Risk (1996), not to be confused with the action drama Maximum Breakout (1991) or the action comedy Maximum Revenge (1997). Under the direction of Ringo Lam, this R rated action flick features Jean-Claude in two roles! The manly multitasker plays French police officer Alain Moreau as well as his long-lost twin brother Mikhail Suverov. Alas, the latter is killed in a high speed chase with cops. While Moreau tries to research the history of his brother, he learns that the estranged sibling was in a lot of trouble with a bunch of thugs. In an attempt to avenge Mikhail’s death, Alain assumes his late brother’s identity and travels to New York where he crosses paths with his bro’s lady love Alex Bartlett (Natasha Henstridge). He then soon finds himself in a precarious position … with her associates. In other words, Alain must use his wits to stay alive. You’ll have to use your eyes to enjoy the impeccable pecs on the Muscles from Brussels. In a sexy scene, the topless hottie flashes his awesome abs as he gets busy with Ms. Henstridge. No wonder this pic made a profit at the box office! The movie also includes Dan Moran, David Hemblen, Frank Senger, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Paul Ben-Victor, Stefanos Miltsakakis, and Zach Grenier’s glutes. As Ivan Dzasokhov, the latter actor bares his back and buns while changing in a bathhouse. Needless to say, he adds thrills to this thriller!
