I say this respectfully, and this will be my last comment on this, but as much as we respect everyone's opinion and everyone's entitled to it... the "Running out of Ideas" commenters need.to.get.over.themselves. You are in the minority (vocal, no doubt) who will always bitch and complain no matter what we produce about running out of ideas. Clearly as you state yourselves, if you head over to WatchMojo.com/suggest you will see that at any given moment we're working on 100-500 lists. We have also published 8000 videos of which 4000+ are lists. Our #1 pet peeve is not being able to do every idea out there, knowing full well that each idea spawns 100 lists (i.e. fights => fights on boats, in forests, in the rain, on mountains, on planes, in trains, etc. all of which were, by the freaking way, OVERWHELMINGLY LIKED and watched massively. But bottom line, it's stats: the likelihood that a subscriber base of 5,000,000 will all watch / like / find original / approve of a given list - let alone the entries - is pretty much NIL. So when we do a list, try - just try - to understand that we aim for VARIETY and seek to KEEP YOU GUESSING each day as to WHAT WILL WATCHMOJO SURPRISE US WITH TODAY? It's very simple. Yes, we did JCVD splits, we're working on top 10 strikes and top 10 iconic paintings and I'm pretty sure I walked in on a meeting where the WMers were brainstorming top 10 hilarious toilet scenes. It's varied, it's different, it's always original. And some scripts are easier/faster to do, that is why some lists take a while to get out. Live with it. OK, I feel better now Signed Mr X.
***** well if you knew anything at all, and Im sure you dont, you would know that Brownstone is a reference to a song about heroin from Guns and Roses. If you'd step out of your mama's basement every once in awhile you'd know these things. Anyway, you bore me.
I agree with number one this time. Doing that was amazing, and I read he managed to perform it on the first take with no rehearsal or special effects. What you see is totally real, on first attempt.
As someone who grew up watching this dude kick ass, the comment section below rather saddens me. I really think it´s just that most people don´t know, how much of a badass JCVD is and that his splits are the shit. And I just knew what number 1 was gonna be, I couldn´t believe my eyes when I saw that the first time. As a fan I say that this list is totally justified.
what. why would you even suggest something this specific. sure you could do something like arnie quotes, or bruce lee movies or something. but wow. just. wow.
People just don't understand comedy. This list is awesome because it is outrageous. And how serious the narrator makes it just adds to the hilarity. Good job WM.
Don't miss these other Damme good videos, Steven Seagal Vs. Jean-Claude Van Damme Top 10 Jean-Claude Van Damme Moments Top 10 Martial Arts Movies Top 10 Action Movie Clichés Top 10 Jackie Chan Moments
To all of the people saying "why not JCVD fights etc" - watch this people, we linked to it in the comments, videos, descriptions, etc. Top 10 Jean-Claude Van Damme Moments Sigh Signed Mr X.
I remember back in '90 when I was 14 friends would talk about who their fav action star was, and the usual, Arnold, Sly, Norris, and I'd said Van Damme from watching Bloodsport, Cyborg, Kickboxer, even No Retreat No Surrender and Black Eagle and their response was.. Who?!! I was able to do the splits at 15 motivated by him and training every day, I never had training on martial arts but had an awesome helicopter kick and many fast kick moves imitating Van Dammes on his movies, I laugh about it now of course but I still get great nostalgia from watching him. My perspective on acting started changing as I grew up and so did my taste on movies but the first movies I mentioned remain on my memory. Including Lion Heart and Double Impact. I also would like to praise the amazing soundtrack for Bloodsport and Cyborg. Maybe that could be a top 10 idea hehe. I actually saw Bloodsport in '87 at a movie theater in Mexico, how 'bout that.
This video was hilarious! As an 80's baby reliving the spread eagle master doing his thing was great. Some people don't appreciate it but it doesn't mean you should stop trying new things, being creative and making people laugh. Thanks! Btw It was my first time seeing that Volvo commercial and it definitely deserved number one.
For those of you complaining about them running out of ideas, so what? Seriously, they've been doing these lists for about 2 years now daily, so quit whining about these detailed lists, cause it's at least better than them repeating top 10 lists.
***** Wasn't mortal kombat supposed to be a JCVD game? And then for w/e reason he backed out. Then they turned his character into Jonny cage? IIRC. I probably don't.
Steve TBY ***** And instead, if I'm not mistaken, there was a game based on the "Street Fighter" movie which JCD starred in. That game also used digitized character like MK. The problem is that game just sucks beyond belief
Watchmojo, you know how you always comment taking the piss out of fans who say "Watchmojo is running out of ideas." This is why. You can't do one or two original countdowns and then pretend that you're still THE people to go to.
Durodes Duvo True, but if you look on their website, there's so many good suggestions, and I'm not capable of running a tap, let alone a youtube channel, but this is still a stupid fuckin' list.
Muy buena compilacion de las peliculas de Jean Claude, excelente actor marcial tengo todas sus peliculas y siempre la estoy viendo sobre todo las de los 80'.
"Running out of ideas" my ass!! There are so many possible ideas out there and WatchMojo is covering them all. Good list especially #1. I didn't know he did that.
Hmmm. Always liked JCVD, and respect him greatly. The only issue that I have with the Volvo commercial is the fact that it appears to be in reverse. If you look at the tires, at the end of the trailers, esp the one on the left, the back end goes far let, as it’s “backing up”, and that’s just not how those work. Unless they are all wheel drive, and have steering in the back as well? Still, even if it’s a video of them starting out, with him in the “splits” position, and they move forward, as they come closer together, it’s still pretty amazing.!.!.! Gratz, JCVD.!.!.!
i said that in one of their other videos, and i got like 57 thumbs up or plussies, i have no fucking clue. and i got allot of hate for it too, like allot allot.
That Volvo commercial is seriously the most badass thing i've ever seen
@@Kritchley No it wasn't, watch the BTS video.

Everybody said you cannot be very muscular and very flexible at the same time.
Until Jean-Claude came.
wut
The difference between him and everybody else is he fights to survive. ;)
well he came really hard on them
The stronger the muscle, the more pliable.
i dont remember saying it
He had by far one of the nicest asses in Hollywood I mean seriously I literally just throw dollars at the screen
Same
Best ass in Hollywood. I dont think I have ever seen a better ass.
yeah true not gay I've noticed

Well I respect this post that mojo made, it's definitely a necessary one. However, may I ask why u guys at mojo like portal 2 so much?
***** well if you knew anything at all, and Im sure you dont, you would know that Brownstone is a reference to a song about heroin from Guns and Roses. If you'd step out of your mama's basement every once in awhile you'd know these things. Anyway, you bore me.
Well you definitely put the complaining naysayers in their place with that informative, well explained comment...
WatchMojo.com OH SNAP haha
ahanghaye top kareji
I dont care what anyone says, this was a badass list. JCVD is the man!
"Because of my big legs and karate…I can do the splits no problem.”
Daniel Thureskog Hee hee hee. Love it 😍
Made zero sense. Still epic though lol
Van Damme splits were a key part of my childhood!
SAME HERE. GOD bless you and Van Damme.

Been a huge fan of Jean Claude Van Damme since I was a young kid. 😊

Jean Claude Van DAMN
Chantluh that’s what I call him😂
Rob Van DAMN!
"Nothing says serenity like unecessarily dangerous displays of flexibility, set to 80's pop rock" Hahahahaha, what a quote :')
omg its like you're in my head reading all my thoughts and then posting it before i do...
So glad they got my suggestion.
Thank you bro. You are the best!!!
what. why would you even suggest something this specific. sure you could do something like arnie quotes, or bruce lee movies or something. but wow. just. wow.
I really needed this in my life. Thank you Jean Claude!!! This was beautiful
I thought my manhood would be questioned by watching this, but after seeing the number one split, I have no worries at all. THAT was incredible.
thanks so much for reminding me why i love Jean-Claude Van Damme so much! i need a Van Damme marathon night!
he does the splits like a boss
You should totally do a "Top ten Watchmojo top ten lists"

Top 10 Jean-Claude Van Damme Moments
Top 10 Martial Arts Movies
Top 10 Action Movie Clichés
Top 10 Jackie Chan Moments
The split on Volvo truck is fantastic. It's my favorite along with the split in the top of the building from Bloodsport.
Bloodsport is one of the best films ever
true that... one of a few JCVD movies i've ever watched that made me realise that JCVD is a great martial artist...
Bloodsport is just a cheesy knockoff of Enter the Dragon, with far less entertaining fight scenes. It was enjoyable though.
Best films :DD
Yes, it's up there with 2001: A Space Odyssey, Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Lawrence of Arabia, Gone with the Wind, Seven Samurai and Andrei Rublev.
Ur ducking rite it is
Awesome compilation of Van Damme splits! ❤️
I am sorry to tell you watchmojo but JCVD doing the split in movies or even Volvo commercial never gets old for me❤️
To all of the people saying "why not JCVD fights etc" - watch this people, we linked to it in the comments, videos, descriptions, etc.

okeyy ty
thanks but i dont care about jcvd. at all. in the least.

My favorite was Lion heart!
People knew that would be #1. I agree with that. Rightfully chosen!
I love the muscles from Brussels
JCVD : GREAT ACTOR and great Martial Artist!!!
This video was hilarious! As an 80's baby reliving the spread eagle master doing his thing was great. Some people don't appreciate it but it doesn't mean you should stop trying new things, being creative and making people laugh. Thanks!
Btw It was my first time seeing that Volvo commercial and it definitely deserved number one.
You know you're good at splits when watchmojo makes an entire list of them
Volvo truck split for #1!
Haha! Called it!
Van damme says himself "to do the most epic of splits"
His nut punch in Bloodsport is by far #1
thats exactly why i love mojo......they have the best top 10 list ideas xD
Mostcertainlyvolvocommercail
He's the real deal... Everything Segal wishes he could be.
LOL YESS
HHa seagal can't even bend down to have a shit anywhere near that
THEY'VE DONE IT!!!! THE MOST ABSOLUTE RIDICULOUS AND UNNECESSARY LIST IN HISTORY !!!! GOOD JOB :)
i like this one he was my hero growing up
Good topic list.. love JCVD, Bloodsport will always be the best film for me
The last one is epic...!!!!
Time for a van damme movie marathon.. starting with bloodsport!
For those of you complaining about them running out of ideas, so what? Seriously, they've been doing these lists for about 2 years now daily, so quit whining about these detailed lists, cause it's at least better than them repeating top 10 lists.
one of the few lists I agree with completely. Brought back some great memories too.
Amo todos os filmes de Jean Claude van Damme sou super fã dele!!!!
This is strictly for van damme fans which I am proud to be one. Good job MOJO!
he does the splits every time he does a jumping spin kick. and ya that number one was awesome
5:20 - LMAO that is great! "Back and fourth, back and fourth..." He totally understand the humour in this scene and is totally having fun with it.
Mojo has uploaded thousands of Top 10's and yet people still have the balls to say they're running out of ideas.
Greatest. WatchMojo. List. Ever. Screw the haters.
I nearly fainted from thirst on that first honorable mention. I couldn't even drink my own spit since I'd been drooling the entire video . . .
I
Oh YEAH JCVD is HOT STUFF!
Yes WatchMojo, this is what I live for :3
Then Van Damme is like the real life Johnny Cage?
***** Oh, i see...
***** and yet he didnt play him in the movies. sigh
***** Wasn't mortal kombat supposed to be a JCVD game? And then for w/e reason he backed out. Then they turned his character into Jonny cage? IIRC. I probably don't.
Steve TBY ***** And instead, if I'm not mistaken, there was a game based on the "Street Fighter" movie which JCD starred in. That game also used digitized character like MK.
The problem is that game just sucks beyond belief
Wait the musician?
this was wonderful, i thoroughly enjoyed it
Watchmojo, you know how you always comment taking the piss out of fans who say "Watchmojo is running out of ideas." This is why. You can't do one or two original countdowns and then pretend that you're still THE people to go to.
dude , STFU!!!
***** No, I'm sorry, but this is a 10 minute video about a guy who was never overly popular doing the splits ten different times. That just is shite.
142doddy never overly popular?
142doddy "shite"
Durodes Duvo True, but if you look on their website, there's so many good suggestions,
and I'm not capable of running a tap, let alone a youtube channel, but this is still a stupid fuckin' list.
Muy buena compilacion de las peliculas de Jean Claude, excelente actor marcial tengo todas sus peliculas y siempre la estoy viendo sobre todo las de los 80'.
I bet a third of the viewers don't even know who Van Damme is
he's a legend..
Didn't he get bad press because he ran out of punching bags, so he used his wife instead?
Toad Roach She didn't appreciate the splits.
Their loss. I loved his movies as a teenager. Kickboxer, Bloodsport, Double Impact, and The Quest were my favorites.
anakinsol Yer same, as a kid me and my friends thought he was great, then I grew up :P
Yes Claude Van Damme is still good at what He does Good job and Happy birthday & God Bless You wit Many More to come
Fun fact: the MK character Johnny cage is based on him.
Not sure thats a plus... since johnny is a bit of a (read: colossal) douche.
He is one of my favorite action heroes and still makes good movies. His fight scenes are some of the best too.
Kickboxer is so underestimated!
I'm never tired of this, JCVD is my fucking idol.
It's because of my big legs & karate.
I grew up watching his movies. What a hunk and great actor.
"OK USA"
SnorryHobo lol.. it cracks me up all the time I see that scene
My idol ❤️❤️👏👏 Jean Claude Van Damme ❤️👏
1:25 JOHNNY CAGE! WINS!
Thanks WM. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight until I have myself a JCVD double feature and watch Bloodsport and Kickboxer. Thanks WM.
"Running out of ideas" my ass!! There are so many possible ideas out there and WatchMojo is covering them all. Good list especially #1. I didn't know he did that.
Still awesome after all these years! Sigh ❤️
i disliked this until i saw #1 this is the best video i have ever seen.
Love it MOJO...keep it up!!
Nobody
Jean-Claude: *splits*
This is one of the lists I did not expect to see on this channel
Down votes are too young to know how bad ass this guy used to be.
Wow man...people are crazy about there lists man, I for one still enjoy your videos
#VAN-DAMMEVSJRDUBLE VIN DIESEL
This video had lmao. So done. Thank you watchmojo. Nice to see some out of the box lists every so often.

For the next April fool's day, PLEASE release like 5 lists in like one day like this. This was too damn good.

TOLDtheTRUTH
Lets just say... They had to split..
TOLDtheTRUTH Gold
Watchmojo is awesome, every other channel im subscribed to put up videos every week maybe two weeks , only channel that puts up videos every day !
one word... HOW

I love it how when ever WatchMojo release an incredibly specific list people cry out the death of the channel and how they are running out of ideas.
Still waiting on The Top 10 Goriest Movies
Top 10 Torture Porn Movies
Top 10 Torture Scenes
Top 10 Controversial Movies (EXPLICIT)
WatchMojo.com I think he means movies with gallons of blood just flowing, like Brain Dead or Evil Dead(any of them)
7:46 marvellous! 👏👏👏 10/10
Top 10 DJS
Top 10 Superstar DJs and Producers of All Time
we're working on ANOTHER top 10 djs, producers...
So awesome!! Simply love Van Damme!!
And that dear children, is why Johnny Cage is very prominent today. Johnny Cage is based on Jean Claude Van Damme
It's also a great way to point out the frequency that this man does them.
lol I just knew that commercial was going to be the top on this list.
Hmmm. Always liked JCVD, and respect him greatly. The only issue that I have with the Volvo commercial is the fact that it appears to be in reverse.

Still, even if it’s a video of them starting out, with him in the “splits” position, and they move forward, as they come closer together, it’s still pretty amazing.!.!.! Gratz, JCVD.!.!.!
ive never really liked his acting talent, but always been impressed by his flexibility XD
who knew doing the splits will make you legendary! come to think... doing anything unusual and you might be a legend too!!!
*_Top 10 Van damme Fighs,no this selection_*
this is a crazy idead for a countdown.
I LOVE IT.
So how desperate is MoJo for top 10 ideas? Top 10 Jean -Claude Van Damme Splits!?! Nuff said...
Just trying something fun....
How is this list fun for you? LoL
i said that in one of their other videos, and i got like 57 thumbs up or plussies, i have no fucking clue. and i got allot of hate for it too, like allot allot.
This is TH-cam, You've got to expect the lowest of the low commenting...Utilize that flag option friend! lmao
I said the same thing.
great list, and number one choice is absolutely deserved.
these splits must hurt as hell
Doubt it. I am double-jointed and I can easily do those with no pain at all. I just need to warm up first to avoid injuries.
