The Shepherd - Jean Claude Van Damme Vs Scott Adkins

Post by Godzooki »

The Shepherd: Border Patrol
Directed by Isaac Florentine (Undisputed 2, Special Forces)
Starring Jean Claude Van Damme, Stephen Lord & Scott Adkins

Coming to R1 DVD on March 4, 2008

----------------------------------------

Hey Guys,

I have this coming early (thursday hopefully) courtesy of dvdslimited and cant wait to check it out!!

I know a few of you will have already seen Undisputed 2 and will have seen what Adkins, Florentine and Perry can do together! 8) Throwing JCVD into the mix should be interesting!! :D

Anyone else planning on picking this up?

Is Adkins the guy who played the Russian? If so, then I'm definitely getting this film as seeing him fight Van Damme should turn out great. Let's just hope that they put some effort into shooting rather than into the editing room.

BTW One thing that puzzles me is why so many Eastenders actors are popping up in recent JCVD movies, is he a fan of the show? :scratch:

Stephen Lord who plays the main villan in this is currently appearing in Eastenders as Jase, Scott Adkins himself has appeared in Eastenders as bartender Joel a few years back. I spotted Paul Truman in JCVD's Until Death a few weeks back!! :roll:

Yeah he played the main bad guy Yuri Boyka in Undisputed 2!! Will report back when i get the disc on how the action is although i have heard reports its pretty incredible stuff!! :) JJ Perry and Florentine have always delivered the goods and we know JCVD and Adkins can move! :)

Lol, I noticed that guy too, complete with gravelly American accent. I think that's what happens when they film on the cheap in Europe. :D

Neat flick, action wise best JCVD since Hard target but i must admit i was not blown away. Scott Adkins steals the show but is heavily underused. Decent film and would recommend any fan of JCVD or Florentine to check it out!! :)

Loadsa brit actors in this, Miles Anderson and Tony Curran from the UK's Ultimate Force both appear in Border Patrol.
