In NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER (1985) in the first combat sequence, Jean-Claude Van Damme jumped off another villain's shoulder to perform a flying kick. It was supposed to hit Timothy D. Baker's upper chest, but Van Damme repeatedly struck Baker in the face, knee, and throat instead. Baker later appeared as a character witness against Van Damme in a lawsuit filed by Jackson "Rock" Pinckney, claiming that the poorly- performed kicks were largely due to the carelessness on Van Damme's part, and that they continued even after Corey Yuen told Van Damme to be more careful.

Well dude, he really played that villain part with 100% conviction and that's amazing.
Sorry if the buddy got a few bruises but he probably knew what he signed up for.

[btothek]

He was a villain… he stayed in character all the time

[Pickledsundae]

Hearing this makes this movie better haha

[TheRealBatBoyAlive]

In Hong Kong, they would've kept it lmao

[DOI_ARTS]

JVCD is no wimp. I wish his fight with Seagal went through

[Tiagotg]

See in Bloodsport with Bolo Yeung... He did the same at the Maté scene... He almost broke Yeung's neck

[Mr.k]

"Stay with me boys." "You'll never go hungry"

Quote Unquote The Fat Bully on this movie. Taking his friends to some Burger joint lol

[gevsjan]

Unfortunately rapid fame and money 💴 rapidly killed his career 😮😢😮 he was very talented

[skully]

Van Damme was always the apple of my eye 😊

[surfaceartist]

They should've kept the face kicks in the movie! It would have been even more BA!

[BrianThomas]

I loved this movie. Now that I know what Van Damme was like in real life. I wonder if he was high during this scene?

[maticsportsandGames]

Love this film, it got me into martial arts. Im a 3rd degree in wu-shu and studied Wing Chung and jkd for 8 years.

🤣 If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!! Van Damme showed him what a badass is! 💪

[arindambanerjee]

He knocked out Pete Sugarfoot Cunningham in this movie and that was real

[DerekBailey.]

Yeah you hear that about Van Damme being very sloppy and careless.

[i.t.jmusic]

I think Van Damme was pissed off at Baker so he jus decided to stay in character .

[nanoano]

"Poorly performed kicks"?
Badly worded. Even Scott Adkins said that Van Damme does the best Jump Spinning Hook Kicks.
It's just that those kicks are difficult to hit precisely.

[d.fortner]

Van damme was like brock lesnar he didn't care whether he hurt someone or not lol.

[vanessashaw]

If Van Dam was that clumsy, they should have hired a stunt double. No need to endanger other actors for the sake of ego.

Unfortunately accidents happen, when you make action movies due to martial arts!!!
