favorite cameo?

shareI remember watching this as a teen in the theater and lighting up the most when Jean Claude Van Damme popped up. I had always figured that the action guys were always in their own personal universes and never would do cross-over films to appear with each other. Keep in mind this is long before The Expendables, so Van Damme and Schwarzenegger appearing together was pretty mindblowing... though it's too bad it was only a cameo.
I know Universal Soldier had already come out, but Lundgren was not quite at the same level as Schwarzenegger or Van Damme. Schwarzenegger was easily top of the heap for action heroes all through the 80's and 90's.
That said, Van Damme's one line suffers from his poor delivery. It took me decades to know what he said "I wouldn't miss it for a second". I had always thought he was referring to the second Jack Slater movie, saying something like "I wouldn't miss it after the second [one]". Maybe he wasn't bringing his A-game when getting paid only cameo wages.
