The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

He was never his big of a star as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme or Segal. But he's had some pretty iconic roles for the most part. Ivan Drago, He-Man, Andrew Scott, The Punisher, Gunnar Jensen.

He's worked with Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Brandon Lee, Louis Gossett Jr, Van Damme, Keanu Reeves and the Coen Brothers.

He's also one of the very few actors who can say they've been active in the business across three decades. Now he occasionally directs and I can't lie I think his movies are pretty entertaining and I would love to see what he could do with a bigger budget. Too bad it seems like he screwed up his post Expendables fame.

Honestly I think he's really underrated and he definitely ran into difficulty in his career after Masters under performed and the next couple movies he did went straight to video after the studios went belly up.

Dolph is a cool cat. I like him.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Whoah...at first I thought he passed away, but I see that you are just a major Lundgren fan, I can dig it. I may even check out Kindergarten Cop 2 because he is in the film (the reviews for KC 2 are not good, but Dolph Lundgren...so yeah).

Him and Van Damme in Universal Soldier...action bliss, I love this film.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

I like this one, even though I still confuse the title with the Kurt Russell movie.

RIP, loved you in Hard Target. :(

Eh, never hated him in anything, but never liked him all that much. But I'm sure he'd be a good guy to have dinner and drinks with. Maybe a little dancing after if the vibe is right.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

I would say he's only a slightly better actor than Chuck Norris. :)

On the plus side, though, he's a 3rd Dan in Kyokushin karate (which is pretty hardcore), he has a master's degree in chemical engineering, and he was Grace Jones' bodyguard/romantic partner. That's a pretty cool resume.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Anyone who can walk away from a Grace Jones bang session has my respect.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

He sings, dances, plays the drums, and breaks plywood and giant ice blocks in the span of 2 minutes.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

My favorite Dolph movie is Universal Soldier

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Mine too. Too bad Tia Carrera used a body double tho :grumble:

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Maybe the most epic thing I've ever seen.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Dolph is cool, and is good to follow on Facebook. He is doing a lot of charity work with victims of slave trade after he did the film Skin Trade. The topic really resonated with him. Hopefully he gets cast as King Randor in the new He-Man film.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Been a fan since Rocky IV and for some odd reason, was always fascinated by how smart he is.
I really dont know why he was never a big action star like the others. I will says this though ...
"He has the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man"

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Is there any way we can get that video in HD? Or possibly blu-ray or UHD? I'll pay money for that.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Probably because he couldn't act and Arnold already had the muscular guy/bad actor theme already covered.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

I think he is a very cool cat. He is always entertaining in movies and i think in a lot of stuff he shows a lot of charisma. I loved his Punisher movie, Universal Soldier is easily one of his best and a lot of fun, and Dark Angel (I Come in Peace) is superb in its B movie Predator rip off way.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

I loved him in Ted 2!!

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

You have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Dolph was in Hard Target?

Absolutely love him in both of those films.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

I still think he had the best Punisher film.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

I tried to watch Kindergarten Cop 2 since it was on Netflix and couldn't make it past the first 15 minutes. I hope gets back to some more action stuff, he would make a pretty cool Bond henchman like Batista was in Spectre.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Dolph has been treated for cancer since 2015

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Wow, had no idea. The most recent health shakeup he had was having ankle surgery, or something to effect of ankle replacement surgery. He was out of commission for a while due to the recovery time of that surgery.

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

I hope he comes through it all ok. Best wishes to him.

I’ve always enjoyed his movies but I’ve never been a huge fan. I never thought he was the best actor…of course, I also thought he was a legit Russian for about 20 years so he was obviously better than I thought. :lol:

Him being a chemical engineer was just another surprise I never would have thought from him.

Keep on keeping on, Dolph!

Re: The Dolph Lundgren appreciation thread
 

Damn, I was unaware of his cancer issues. I hope he manages full remission.
