In order to free his dad, Rudy must find a ancient scroll that contains secret information about a mysterious and ancient religious sect.

    More exciting and the best non-stop action scenes of Jean-Claude Van Damme who's on run around at the city of Israel, I like that.

    Not sure what they were shooting for in this movie, but if you like MST3K, you can practice your movie riffing on this one pretty easily.

    Man, Charlton Heston get's a bullet in the midsection, and Van Damme's all coked out spouting, "Heeeeyy Dad!" I love this movie.

    It's hard to believe the academy hasn't noticed the years of hard work put in by this tireless actor. Perhaps a lifetime achievement award is in the future. The best part may have been Charlton Heston's stunning portrayl of an archeologist. Words just don't suffice.

    I actually own this movie. Can't believe it is listed. But every other awful movie ever made has been listed.

Yes, it's true: Jean-Claude Van Damme is now a screenwriter.

...Van Damme even goes so far as to co-write the script - though I suspect his contribution was limited to the many lame one-liners peppered throughout the film. Full Review
