Used to have serious trouble with Jean Claude Van Damme and errr, the other guy. I just spent five minutes on Google trying to figure out his name, but whenever I think of a movie he's in, it turns out it's Van Damme!
I will not yield!
He was in something with Henry Ford, I think. Wait, no, that guy's not named Henry Ford... Henry... He was in the Fugitive! Harrison Ford!
Oh for crying out loud, I just clicked through a whole lotta Ford titles on IMDB and still didn't find m... OH WAIT It's Steven Seagal!
That was not worth it at all.

I have only just realised (from the remixes thread) that Carl Craig is not Carl Cox.
(That said, I did think that Calvin Harris was Calvin Johnson for about a year, and really wondered what on earth had happened to Dub Narcotic Sound System.)
