Frame from the action thriller 'Sudden Death' (1995). View of the inside of the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Loads of sparks flying from the jumbotron as there's an ice hockey match going on down below between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Blackhawks with the stands full of spectators. The score on the jumbotron is 4-4. Offical time's 15:40. And there's "SUDDEN DEATH" showing in large letters at the bottom of the jumbotron.
🥅🏒 Also released #OnThisDay 30 years ago. One of the better 90s' Jean-Claude van Damme action films even though it feels like a poor man's Die Hard. But it's also a fine example why JCVD never became a genuine A-list action star a la Arnie, Sly or Bruce. #SuddenDeath 📽️🎞️
