Jean-Claude Van Damme kicks, punches, flips, dances, jabs, and splits his way through a new action-comedy coming to Netflix soon.
The Last Mercenary allows the martial arts movie star to poke fun at himself after years of taking his roles in action movies very seriously.
Now Van Damme is ready to let loose in this film directed by David Charhon, and he wears a long wig while fighting thugs to prove it.
Here’s what Van Damme said during production, via Slash Film:
“The Last Mercenary is an incredibly exciting project and allows me to take on a new genre.
I’ve always been a fan of Jean-Paul Belmondo and I hope to take up the torch of action comedy in my own way.
Now for the official synopsis:
Richard Brumère, aka “La Brume” (“The Mist”), a former French secret service special agent turned mercenary, is back in the saddle as the immunity he was granted 25 years earlier for his son Archibald is lifted.
A mob operation threatens Archibald’s life. To save him, Richard will have to reach out to his old contacts, join forces with a bunch of reckless youngsters from the projects and an offbeat bureaucrat – but mostly find the courage to let Archibald know he’s his father.
The Last Mercenary also stars Patrick Timsit, Eric Judor, and Miou-Miou.
We’ll let Van Damme take it from here:
The Last Mercenary will be available to stream on Netflix from July 30.
