Nowhere to Run (1993)

Playing a widow with a cute kid and very few resources, Rosanna Arquette finds herself at the mercy of merciless real-estate developers who appear to have her over a barrel. That is, until convict on the lam Jean-Claude Van Damme happens along and catches sight. Yes, it's chivalry to the rescue in Nowhere to Run (1993). The Muscles from Brussels is Sam Gillen, a fugitive with a funny accent who escapes a turned over prison transport bus and meets a little boy named Mookie (Kieran Culkin). Mookie lives with his mom Clydie (Rosanna Arquette), but the pair keep getting harassed by real estate developer Franklin Hale (Joss Ackland), his buddy Mr. Dunston (Ted Levine) and Sheriff Lonnie Poole (Edward Blatchford). She refuses to sell, so they start to get violent. That might have worked back when it was just Clydie and her son getting bullied by these big strong men, but she's been hooking up with Sam Gillen and using him as a handyman around the house. He's a karate trained crook who isn't gonna let that keep happening! Now, it's time for some Van-Dammage! It's all spin kicks, the splits, and bonecrushing hits as Jean-Claude and his butt-kicking bod protect Clydie and Mookie. Letting a fugitive felon into your home might sound insane, but it'll make sense when you see how insanely hot JCVD was back in the early 1990's. At one point, Jean-Claude is bathing in a lake near Clydie's house when he gets spotted by a couple of kids. Not even kidding, as he gets out of the water, his buns are some of the tightest ever put onscreen! As he said on Friends, "I can crush a walnut with my butt." Mr. Man's more interested in nutting in his crush! Six-pack? Check. Popping pecs? Check. Check him out when he lies in bed being nursed to health by Rosanna. Borderline absurdly fit, Jean-Claude has nothing to hide in Nowhere to Run!
