1148.0. "MAXIMUM RISK" by WMOIS::TARDUGNO () Tue Aug 06 1996 19:01

    VanDamme's new movie is "Maximum Risk" and is coming to the
    theatres September 13th....
    
    I saw brief coming attractions  when I went to see Chain Reaction.
    Unfortunately, I can't remember the plot at ALL!! (last week was
    a blur)
    
    I will fill in the info (unless someone beats me to it)
    as soon as I can.
    
    It just seemed like it might be a better caliber movie
    than what he is usually in.....
    
    Anyone hear or see anything about this?
