Late last year, the internet was treated to Jean-Claude Van Damme in a commercial for Volvo performing a most epic split between two trucks. The video was an instant smash that became rife for parody and impersonation including Channing Tatum and Chuck Norris.

Now JCVD, or at least a computer-generated version of him, is back to reclaim the crown for most epic splits. In the video below, watch as Van Damme performs his signature split between two satellites, which then drift away letting him keep the split in zero gravity.

In 1991, a live-action retelling of the Peter Pan fairy tale directed by Steven Spielberg was released, and it was titled Hook. The movie starred Robin Williams as an older Peter Pan who returns to Neverland in search of his children, who have been kidnapped by his old enemy, Captain Hook. It also starred Dustin Hoffman as Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, Maggie Smith as Wendy (with a young Gwyneth Paltrow appearing as the character in flashbacks), Bob Hoskins as Smee, and Dante Basco as Pan’s replacement as the leader of the Lost Boys, Rufio.

One of the most memorable scenes in the movie comes toward the end when Rufio and Hook go head-to-head in an epic sword fight. As part of their ’90s Week, YouTube channel CineFix decided to do a homemade remake of this scene, and they even got Basco to reprise his role as Rufio for it!

You can see the video below, as well as additional videos that show a side-by-side comparison with the original scene and behind the scenes of the making of the recreation.

Another actor has joined Ant-Man, the upcoming addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe from director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End).

It’s being reported that Patrick Wilson, star of Insidious, The Conjuring, and Watchmen, will appear in the movie, though who the actor will be playing has not been identified as of yet.

Saving Mr. Banks was destined to be the first Disney film since perhaps Mary Poppins to accrue countless Oscar nominations across a multitude of categories. Unfortunately, the brilliant drama that explores the roots of how Mary Poppins evolved from page to screen failed to score more than one Academy Award nod. Why so?

This Disney In Depth aims to identify why Saving Mr. Banks may not have resonated with certain critics, despite the warranted buzz it received prior to its release. I also share how Banks should have been recognized at the forthcoming 86th Academy Awards.

Savage Jungle Princess is not your typical comic. It’s being done as a FREE weekly web comic that you can ALSO order as a printed comic for $4.99 via the Kult Creations website.

Although it’s never stated, I assume the comic takes place during World War II, and features a shipwrecked young woman on the run from an all female crew of half dressed Nazi soldiers.
