Review of Lionheart (1990) by Michel H — 19 Aug 2009
One of Jean-Claude's better films from his early career, Lionheart (or AWOL as it was known on this side of the Atlantic) sees him escaping from a French Foreign Legion outpost in Northern Africa to travel to Los Angeles when he finds out his brother has been left for dead after a botched deal with drug dealers.
Arriving in New York after 3 or 4 weeks at sea, he attracts the attention of a former fighter turned hustler who promotes him as an underground boxer in order for Lyon (Van Damme) to help pay for his trip to LA, and to help his widowed sister in-law to help pay the rent to keep her and her daughter from living rough.
Entertaining movie with some good stunts and fights.
