Knock Off Movies: Sudden Death

We watched this during our epic JCVD marathon and this one stands out, as Jean-Claude Van Damme is not the first actor you think of when you hear a movie revolves around hockey...







The plot unfolds something like this: It's basically Die Hard in a hockey arena.

But the real reasons you should watch: The cheese ball factor is very high as JCVD's character's kids are involved through the whole movie. Powers Boothe plays a spectacular villain. Apparently there's loads of hockey cameos. There's also a wonderful (and overly long) fight between JCVD and the Penguins' mascot, and in the final fight scene takes place in the arena's retractible dome!


Fun extra stuff we shouldn't know but do now: There is a novelization of this movie, and an audio book of said novel read by none other than Powers Boothe.
