    For most, doing one thing really well is hard enough. I think that's okay.

    Dolph Lundgren Appreciation

    Dolph Lundgren is a beast. Masters of the Universe was a masterpiece.

    When it came time to cast He-Man, there was only one choice. That choice was Dolph.

    And then there was Red Scorpion...

    Most people are familiar with his work as Drago in Rocky IV, but this performance, whilst incredible, barely scratches the surface of the man's awesome acting ability.

    Consider if you will Red Scorpion. Dolph plays the part of Nikolai. Nikolai doesn't have a surname, he doesn't need one, he's Dolph.

    Nikolai is sent to Africa to assassinate a rebel force, only to realize that it is the government that are the bad guys; so he does what any hero would do:

    He strips down to his tighty-whiteys, rubs baby oil all over himself and runs around the desert barefoot.



    Dolph Lundgren rules.

    I'm no Dolph Lundgren expert by any means, but I have to say that being the best thing in the horrid Masters of the Universe is a merit in itself.

    I enjoyed his version of "The Punisher". Scene at the end where he breaks that bird's neck was teh meltz0r. The recent Punisher flick was good too.

    I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing but isn't he in a common law marriage with Grace Jones in Germany? Maybe I should google it.


    Edit: Nevermind google reports back that they lived together for four years. Never engaged.
