is worse than Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen combined. Kid is comedic gold: https://youtu.be/fsUKVpvzMHk.

And was probably paid a pittance for the part. Poor kid, if you expect him to be your punching bag, you can forget about our deal!

A pittance is all he deserved for that performance. I'm usually pretty lenient on younger actors, but he's brutal.

I disagree - That kid pulls of a stunning performance, mimicking almost perfectly the terrible acting the fully grown Van Damme will bring it to the same character. It's a nuanced masterclass...

What does disturb me about that clip is that Tanaka's son kicks Dux Jnr's ass when they're having a fight, yet 10 seconds later it shows him getting beaten up by two other kids and Dux having to come to his rescue!

Almost as bizarre as his subsequent unexplained death.

I mean this when I say this because I'm a movie buff, truly the worst actor/acting performance I've ever seen. Ever.....
