AT 1:18 AND AT 1:20 = STILL PHOTOS OF VAN DAMME IN THE SUIT ! _____________________________ TRUE STORY REVEALED : Van Damme had landed a role in Arnold Schwarzeneggers 1987 release of the Predator. He was the original alien wearing the extraterrestrial Predator Suit that unfortunately would give him no on-screen face recognition. For the Suit, Van Damme said, They did a cast of my body, my feet, my hands, forearms, my head and neck. I was moving everything with cables. It was a very unstable. After days of shooting, the Director did not like how the Suit appeared on the screen and had it re-designed. The new version with its added refinements became too large for Van Damme. An Afro-American actor, Kevin Peter Hall, who stood 7 feet and 2½ inches, replaced Van Damme; he could more easily wear the theatrically bulky Predator Suit. Although Van Damme left the set he and Arnold still had a relationship. During shooting of the Universal Soldier, Arnold helped Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren in their acting style since Arnold The Terminator knew how to play a robot. Departing from the Predator did not daunt Van Damme, who thinks of the Predator as a funny story that later helped him obtain a role in Bloodsport, because after impressing Menahem Golan with his karate kicks, Golan had heard Van Damme had played the alien in the Predator, and he was very excited to sign me for Bloodsport. Van Damme admitted, that helped me a lot. [BIOGRAPHY -- TOP LEFT] http://www.fandamme.net _____________________ (less)
