Adding to the problems, the suit had been built specifically for Jean-Claude Van Damme, a world karate champion. "They wanted to just tell the guy to hop around like a frog," remembers Johnson. "And it was Jean-Claude Van Damme who had no idea what he was getting into. He was just off the boat from Brussels. He thought he was going to show his martial arts abilities to the world. So Jean-Claude comes in for his fittings. Remember the cloaking device? Beautiful effect in its day we made a red version [of the suit] because red is the opposite of green on the color wheel. It had been shot against green in the jungle." "He didn't realize that he was just kind of a stuntman, right?" said Steve. "We get him out there for the first shot and he's just seething. We got him back in at lunch and you could see his eyes through the rubber muscles of the neck and he's like, 'I hate this head. I hate it. I hate it. Hate it.'"
