At the first screening of the 2011 Cinéma sur le toit season, for the 1991 Muscles from Brussels opus, Double Impact, our distinguished guest speaker here gives us a stirring and informative introduction. Sadly, my phone ran out of memory about halfway through, so the rest of his comments about the Van Dammage we were about to witness are lost to all but the memories of the lucky individuals gathered on the rooftop last night. You can, however, find a full transcript here.

Kicking the Curse: Double Impact!
DC's fickle weather does not seem to want to see Big Trouble in Little China, so I'm going to postpone that screening and see if changing titles breaks the string of cancellations.
One of Cinema sur le toit's most loyal attendees has been lobbying me for at least one season now to show a little damme love for the muscles from Brussels, and this week, I'm going to grant that wish, with a 20th anniversary screening of Jean-Claude's dual role as separated-at-birth twins who are reunited just in time to join forces to defeat a Hong Kong crime syndicate in Double Impact.
I'll leave it at that, because our featured guest for the evening, Mr. Chris Klimek, will be introducing the film, and is sure to have plenty of insights into just what makes this masterpiece tick. (Apart from having the best action-movie tagline in history with "Double the Van Dammage!")
Do your best anti-wind, anti-rain dance and join us on the roof on Thursday, June 16.
