Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })JCVD is a Dramedy film directed by Mabrouk El Mechri and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Jean-Claude Van Damme, released in 2007.A tired, washed-out failure, struggling for work and (subsequently) money, the film starts with JCVD returning to his hometown of Brussels, Belgium. When one day going to the local Post Office to arrange a wire transfer, he suddenly finds himself smack-bang in the middle of a robbery, held at gun point and marched into the back with the other customers and staff, where he's forced to juggle their expectations of "the Muscles from Brussels" with the fact he's a 48 year old man who really doesn't want to get shot.His day does not improve from there.Quite probably the finest film Jean Claude Van Damme has starred in for years (possibly ever), and immediately recognized as such when it was released. It gets a lot of mileage out of both the public's perception of him, and the current state of his career.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Ascended Fanboy: One of the robbers is a huge fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme, and his hero just comes in the post office he is working in. The two boys in the video club also count. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
JCVD / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: At the end, in his Imagine Spot, Jean-Claude first pictures taking out the gunman holding him hostage with a flashy high kick, but when it comes to the act itself just goes with a straight elbow-shot to the guy's gut, which works just as well. | |

JCVD / int_45d7a6e0 | comment |
Actor/Role Confusion: The robbers see Jean-Claude as "The Muscles from Brussels", Jean-Claude sees Jean-Claude as a washed-up middle-aged B-movie star who is very passionate about not getting shot. | |
