Replicant (2001)

“You can’t feed a replicant chocolate, dude, right to the hospital!” - Steve

On this week’s episode, “White Guy Karate” Month goes sci-fi as we talk about the totally insane JCVD/Michael Rooker action joint, Replicant! 

How unsettling is JCVD with non-mullet long hair? How does this psychic link work with these fellas? How much of this movie takes place in that one hospital? Is Michael Rooker’s character helping raise his partner’s child? Is it his kid? Why does that lady have a pool table in her baby’s bedroom? And is there anything more terrifying than JCVD singing “Rock-a-Bye Baby”? PLUS: Coming to Broadway next season: Replicant The Musical!

Replicant stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Catherine Dent, Brandon James Olson, Pam Hyatt, Ian Robison, Allan Gray, and James Hutson as Snotty Concierge; directed by Ringo Lam.
