Sudden Death (1995)

Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris hit the ice to talk about the 1995 Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Sudden Death, which was just released on 4K for the first time.

Van Damme plays Darren McCord, a former firefighter turned fire marshall who works at Pittsburgh's Civic Arena. Getting tickets for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks, he brings his children to the game but unfortunately a disgruntled Secret Service agent, Joshua Foss (Powers Boothe) has chosen the game as an opportunity to take the visiting Vice President hostage and extort billions from secret government funds. In Die Hard fashion, Darren becomes the one man who can save the day, stop the terrorists, and rescue his kids. Zach and Chris discuss the convoluted nature of Powers Boothe's plan, the epic Van Damme vs Icee the Penguin fight, Van Damme's MacGyver abilities, the terrible-looking helicopter finale, and more.

You can buy the new 4K of Sudden Death from Amazon or rent the movie from your digital service of choice.
