The non-U.S. version of Demolition Man is more hilarious. Because Taco Bell is not available in nearly all countries outside the U.S., Pizza Hut is substituted in the international releases. Therefore, Stallone and Sandra Bullock re-dubbed their lines to say, "Pizza Hut," and all Taco Bell logos are digitally replaced with Pizza Hut logos (the Blu-ray version makes it more obvious).

Tango & Cash is one of the great guilty pleasures in Stallone's film catalog.

Ditto for Kurt Russell's catalog. Loved the Jackie Chan rip-off moment too.

Judge Dredd is only unwatchable if you actually gave a damn about the Judge Dredd franchise before seeing it. I saw it, liked it, then started reading the comics and was like "So that's why fans say the movie sucks!".

I first saw the movie in theaters without ever touching a Judge Dredd comic book, and I thought the movie was total crap.

Not too mention Teri Hatcher's (Stallone's sister in the film) finest moment as an actress dancing to Yazoo's early 80's classic "Don't Go" at the club.

I have to call foul with this. I thought her finest moment was coming to James Bond's hotel room in Tomorrow Never Dies.

My favourite Tango and Cash moment?

"Your Honour, Mr. Tango has spoken quite elegantly on this topic. All I have to add is... THIS F*#&*ING SUCKS!"

Guilty Pleasure of the Moment: Jean-Claude Van Damme Movies

"The Muscles from Brussels" has been the bane of critics for the past three decades, starring in over 20 films that are certified "Rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes. As one of the biggest action stars in the 1980s and 1990s, Van Damme was often typecast as a kickboxing Frenchman due to his accent. Movies such as No Retreat, No Surrender, Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Double Impact, Universal Soldier, Hard Target and Timecop have their fans here on the boards, while shlock like Cyborg, Street Fighter: The Movie, The Quest, Double Team, Knock Off and Inferno (Desert Heat) belong in the recycle bin. No one had ever taken him seriously until JCVD in 2008, where he played a fictional version of himself. JCVD won unanimous praise from the same critics that normally hate him. Despite that one bit of success, Van Damme continues to relegate his career to direct-to-video releases.

Of all the hits and misses dished out by Van Damme, which ones would you consider your guilty pleasures?

I'm not feeling guilty about loving JCVD's stuff; Blood Sport, Kickboxer, Double Impact, and my personal favorites Hard Target and Nowhere to Run are always on my play list...

I would've added Rocky IV to my guilty pleasure list, but I don't know a single person who hates it.

If you had said Rocky 5...

How about Lionheart!!?

Hmm...I don't know why but I never really dug LionHeart, which is completely irrational considering the interchangeable stories, locations, characters, etc. I did forget to mention Death Warrant though; the part where the corrupt prison police force JCVD's hot lawyer to take her clothes off and submit to a body cavity search was hot stuff back in the day...

No Retreat, No Surrender is such a horribly-made film. The production is atrocious, the storyline is an early clone of The Karate Kid, and the acting is beyond laughable. But what saves a portion of the movie is Van Damme and the fight choreography. So yeah, it's a guilty pleasure - a painful one at that.

Also, Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Universal Soldier are classics. As a matter of fact, Bloodsport should be considered a benchmark for filming a proper martial arts film. Why feel guilty about liking them?

For Kickboxer, here's two reasons :D :

Reason #1: Almost everything that happens before the 3:00 mark:

Reason #2: Mylee's "emoting" during the final fight scenes.

Van Damme is awesome

I didn't know he was a professional fighter either (although with a limited career); I just assumed he was "shown" how to fight for his movies...

I got another guilty pleasure, the mob noir film Bound starring Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon, and Joe Pantoliano. It was the first movie directed by the Warshowski Bros(or is that brother and sister now?) before they did the Matrix films. It has possibly the hottest lesbian love scene outside of porn aside from it being a great film.
