Maximum Risk

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Directed by Ringo Lam, Maximum Risk is a 1996 action film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Natasha Henstridge.


Tropes used in Maximum Risk include:
  • Backup Twin
  • Chainsaw Good
  • Fruit Cart: This counts, at least as a play on the trope: Jean-Claude Van Damme is in a chase scene where he's driving a fruit cart. It is, of course, destroyed at the end.
  • The Mafiya: The main antagonists
  • Separated at Birth: Jean Claude Van Damme loves this trope. In the film, one of the twins dies before the start of the movie but not before finding out all about his long lost brother, and forcing the brother to pose as him to uncover who killed him.
  • Sexy Discretion Shot
