Double Impact (1991) is an action film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme in a dual role as twin brothers, Alex and Chad. The twins were separated at a young age after their parents were murdered by a ruthless crime syndicate. Alex grows up in Hong Kong, becoming a skilled martial artist, while Chad is raised in the United States, unaware of his brother’s existence.
When the two brothers are reunited as adults, they join forces to seek revenge on the criminals responsible for their family’s death and the destruction of their father’s business empire. Despite their contrasting personalities—Alex is the calm and calculated one, while Chad is more impulsive and reckless—they must work together to bring down the villainous gang. Filled with martial arts combat, thrilling action sequences, and a mix of humor and drama, Double Impact showcases Van Damme’s fighting skills in a unique way as he plays both the hero and the protector of his family’s legacy.
