Make a Movie with Jean Claude Van Damme Doing a Bunch of Stuff on Green Screen

Funny or Die has gotten together with Jean Claude Van Damme and shot him doing a bunch of the types of action scenes that got him famous in front of green screen.

You can get the green screen footage and make your own Van Damme action (or another genre if you so choose) that you want as part of the JCVD Make My Movie Challenge.

The best one wins a prize and the deadline to submit is 3/3, but we’re wondering how long it will take for someone to put cats in the background.
