Double Team is a 1997 American action crime thriller film directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark (in his American directorial debut) and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dennis Rodman and Mickey Rourke. Van Damme plays counter-terrorist agent Jack Quinn, who is assigned to bring an elusive terrorist known as Stavros (Mickey Rourke) to justice. Things become personal when Stavros kidnaps Quinn's pregnant wife after his own lover and child were killed in an assassination attempt that went awry. Aiding Quinn in his rescue is his flamboyant weapons dealer Yaz (Dennis Rodman).

A critical and commercial failure, the film was also nominated for and "won" three Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Supporting Actor (Rodman), Worst New Star (also Rodman) and Worst Screen Couple (Rodman and Van Damme).


Oh wow. I remember watching this film when I was like seven and I loved it.

Gotta see it again soon.

This is one of Van Damme's more watchable films actually. It is not completely awful. Certainly the plot is rather generic and stupid, while the acting is quite bad, but it does have some decent fight scenes and of course Mickey Rourke lifts up the whole thing a bit. I was more or less entertained watching this.

This really is a great film. It's on the chronological cusp of Van Damme getting into shit movies, but it's still firmly on the great side. Mickey Rourke is fantastic here, but sadly Dennis Rodman isn't.
