"Van Damme, it turns out, did get a call from Stallone to join his team of Expendables, but he wasn't thrilled with the pitch. He told TotalFilm, "Stallone gave me a part in his next movie. [He] said, 'You're gonna make lots of money.' I don't want to hear that, I want to hear what was my character. He was unable to tell what it's going to be." So Van Damme, showing admirable dedication to the purity of his craft, passed." - Brian Chang

I think it's a little late for Van Damme to be worrying about the quality of the movies he's recruited for. I mean, Street Fighter?? - Brian Chang

...you can't fault a guy for evolving. he's made enough money to last a dozen lifetimes so why does he need to do a film just for the money. I respect his stance here, because in so many of today's movies, it just seems like the actors are just there to cash a check, and all we get is another forgettable movie experience for $12... or $18, if it's in 3-D - .LAG liked that
