I just got through watching it on TV.
Jean-Claude van Damme is a secret agent whose death is faked and who is sent to work on an island with other "retired" agents against his will. The agents are held prisoner by a number of ingenious devices (of dubious plausibility) so that they can continue to be of service to their governments as counter-terrorist analysts. Van Damme's wife is pregnant with his child, so he formulates a plan to escape the island, a task which is given added urgency when the agents see footage from a terrorist attack by arch-villain Mickey Rourke, who has left a note at the scene telling van Damme that he is holding van Damme's wife hostage. Van Damme manages to escape (after a gruelling montage of training scenes) and tracks down his wife after hooking up with Dennis Rodman and some monks. His wife has given birth already, and Rourke has taken the baby to the Collosseum in Rome. Rourke has sown the floor of the Colloseum with hundreds of land mines, and he also has released a tiger. Insert awesome fight scene starring a three shirtless men and one motorcycle. Needless to say, as Rodman, van Damme and son exit stage left, Rourke is hoist by his own petard (literally) and we are treated to an explosion which devours Rourke, the tiger, and most of the Colloseum.
