Sudden Death (1995) - Bad Guy On Ice Scene (10/10) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After rescuing his daughter, Darren McCord (Jean-Claude Van Damme) stops Joshua Foss (Powers Boothe) from escaping in a helicopter by shooting the pilot from below.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Pittsburgh Penguins owner Howard Baldwin was the producer of Sudden Death, and the action is set in his hockey arena, in which the Penguins are playing the Chicago Blackhawks. Pittsburgh fire inspector Darren McCord (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is attending the game with his two children. He's quit fighting fires because of a tragedy a few years earlier involving a child he couldn't save. Also at the game is the vice-president of the United States (Raymond Barry), who is the target of a terrorist plot. The terrorist leader, an insane ex-CIA agent named Joshua Foss (Powers Boothe), has masterminded a scheme to hold the vice-president hostage in his luxury suite while demanding that payments be transferred to his account electronically at the end of each period of the game. If he doesn't get his money, he will kill one member of the vice-president's party at the end of each period, and at game's end he will order ten bombs hidden in the arena to be detonated with all 17,000 fans present. McCord discovers the plot while his daughter Emily (Whittni Wright) is kidnapped by the terrorists too. McCord must dispatch the villains and find the bombs, while saving all the hostages. Luckily, he is adept at martial arts. He fights one henchman dressed in a Penguins mascot outfit in the arena's kitchen, and another terrorist on the arena's retracting dome. At one point, McCord switches identities with a player, is sent into the game, and scores a goal. Director Peter Hyams also directed Van Damme in the blockbuster Timecop.

[SamPorterBridges]

Lmao. I love how painfully slow the helicopter is crashing. It's like a sinking ship. Powers Booth just screaming. 😂

[josem.castorena]

Powers Boothe was a GREAT actor. He was awesome in this movie.
"What kind of lunatic are you ?"
"Haha the best kind."

[DEthe]

R.I.P. Powers Boothe
Your villainous role was excellent!

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

I do love the bad guy deaths where they have no options left other than to scream about the fact they are going to die

[mrwoods]

His screaming at the end is hilarious. 😂

[yoselinballesteros]

If in Lionheart he proved to be a good uncle, here he undoubtedly wins the award for best father.👪💕

[theefrankguy]

One of my favourite Van Damme movies!!!.

[edwardalexander]

I like how he fired 18-20 shots out of a H&K P9S when in reality it only carried 9 rounds of 9mm (7 in .45 acp). Gotta love 90s action films!

[MyJustin]

Critics shouldve called this movie 'The Stanley Cup Of Action Movies'

[keralah]

I remember my mom or dad watching this when I was a child, somewhere between the ages of 3 and 5... Never knew what it was called or what it was about. All I remembered was a bad guy with a mustache, a little girl being taken hostage, a helicopter, and an hockey stadium... literally googled just that and here I am now, a very irrelevant piece of my childhood memory just unlocked. Haha

[dricofm]

After that, the little girl had to take antidepressants for the rest of her life😅

[adamr.a.n.t.runningandnavi]

LOL! I remember seeing this movie as a kid. I love how Jean-Claude's character jumps on the ladder like he's really gonna teach those bad guys a lesson. Because, you can't just let those bad guys get away, right? You've gotta risk your life to get that sweet revenge.

[TheSpacey]

That horrible effect of the helicopter falling downward always makes me laugh

[yoselinballesteros]

I love how he jumps without thinking to take the shot, like a good father.👦💪

[Saint]

I can't help but feel bad for poor Zamboni drivers at this point because they are gonna have a heck of time fixing that ice.

[сергейКурмыза-щй]

1:49 As my friend John McClane would say: "Yippie-ky-yay, motherf*cker!"

[marysmith]

Happy trails, Foss! When he got killed in a helicopter explosion

[julianjv]

Put his daughter in danger only to kill a bad guy? Sounds like a classic dad in the 90s acción movies.

[yoselinballesteros]

This is undoubtedly JCVD's version of "Die Hard".💪👦🔥

[KarlSturmgewher]

With the instinct of a father wolf, McCord saved his daughter twice today!
