S3 Ep106: I still can't remember what movie played with Double Team, when I saw it at the drive-inn. There are so many good action movies that came out in 1997... the possibilities are endless. Face Off, Con-Air, Spawn, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Batman and Robin, Anaconda, Men In Black... dude, the hits just keep coming. What a great year to go to the movies.

Double Team (1997) is an action movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dennis Rodman, and Mickey Rourke. The film follows counter-terrorist agent Jack Quinn (Van Damme), who is forced out of retirement to capture his old nemesis, Stavros (Rourke). When the mission goes wrong, Quinn is sent to a covert penal colony known as “The Colony,” where disavowed agents are kept.
With the help of eccentric arms dealer Yaz (Rodman), Quinn escapes and sets out to stop Stavros, who has kidnapped his pregnant wife. The movie blends high-octane action with over-the-top stunts and a stylized '90s aesthetic, known more for its camp and odd pairing of stars than critical acclaim.
