5. Jean Claude Van Damme – Gay Karate Man
Jean Claude Van Damme‘s first credited role in his illustrious career might be one of the best credited roles of all time. He was simply called “Gay Karate Man.” The film was Monaco Forever.
In it, Van Damme picks up a hitchhiker, s*xually assaults him, and then comes within an inch of kicking the man’s head clean off his shoulders when he is confronted about it all. It’s a remarkably strange scene. Although Van Damme comes across as a borderline creep, his kicks and his form are quite impeccable. Great role. Slightly embarrassing, yes, but great nevertheless.
