Jean Claude Van Damme-Double Impact
The movie opens twenty-five years ago in Hong Kong. The parents oftwo twin babies, Alex and Chad, had borrowed money from Raymond Zhang andNigel Griffith, two lead smugglers. They needed the money in order tobuild a tunnel between Hong Kong and the mainland. After the tunnel wasbuilt and the money collected, Nigel Griffith and Raymond Zhang had a gangof hit men massacre Alex and Chad's family. Frank Avery, a friend of thefamily, races into the scene and finds the parents already dead. The twobabies are in the back seat with a maid. She takes Alex and flees thescene. Frank sees Chad left behind and takes him and runs. Twenty-five years after these events we find Frank Avery, who isplayed by Geoffrey Lewis, has raised Chad as his own kid. They own a gymin Los Angelos. Frank has been trying to locate the other brother for thepast twenty-five years and has finally found his whereabouts in Hong Kong,working for Raymond Zhang, played by Philip Chan Yan Kin, and NigelGriffith, played by Alan Scarfe. F
rank and Chad go to Hong Kong and meethis brother. Interesting events take place when they arrive since Alex'sgirlfriend Danielle Wilde, played by Alonna Shaw, thinks that Chad is Alex.Alex arrives and head butts Chad. When Chad revives from being knockunconscious, Frank convinces the two brothers to help avenge the deaths oftheir parents. The setting for this movie is very appropriate. They are in Hong Kongwhere the laws are not up to par with the American Style. This allows thecorrupt trades of Zhang, Griffith, and Alex to go on hardly disturbed bythe Hong Kong police. The dominant theme in Double Impact is vengeance and it is seen quitereadily once the action gets rolling. Alex and Chad are out to kill Zhangand Griffith for the massacre of their parents. As the movie rolls on, Alexbecomes suspicious of Chad because he thinks that he is playing around withhis girlfriend Danielle. We see Alex's thoughts of Chad with Danielle ashe becomes drunker and his mind imagines that they are having sex t
