Since Jox was so kind not to look in my direction
I'll also write down my list which is almost identical to moltisanti's.
I can never decide if I like Showdown in Little Tokyo of Red Scorpion the best. Because both are displays of his dramatic acting skills of course.
So today I'll put it in this order with very short justification for each:
1. Showdown in Little Tokyo - great team with Brandon Lee, good story, Dolph looks fantastic
2. Red Scorpion - Dolph looks fucking fantastic and kicks ass, hardly wears anything.
3. Universal Soldier - just a great movie, IMHO. Best one liner: "I'm all ears". Best scene of all of his movies: Supermarket Scene. Dolph - do more villains. Looking forward to Gunnar Jensen! (BTW: Dolph looks fantastic)
4. Joshua Tree - Dolph looks fucking fantastic and kicks ass, love the red shirt, best shootout of all his movies.
5. Men of War - Dolph looks fucking fantastic and...you know the drill. Also good story, great fight in the cave against Trevor Goddard. Love Catherine Bell's role. Great landscape, great team.
6. Johnny Mnenonic - I love Cyberpunk novels and movies. Can't understand until today why this wasn't a huge success. Love the movie. If you like literature by William Gibson et al., you'll like this movie.
7. I come in Peace / Dark Angel - just great fun. Love Matthias Hues as the alien and Brian Benben as the smart-ass sidekick.
8. Silent Trigger - Dolph looks fucking fantastic, great outfit, and the whole movie has wonderful pictures. Great atmosphere. Dolph also displays the inner demons in a subtle and touching way - what's his assignment and what's the right thing to do.
9. Command Performance - loved it. First time Dolph was convincing as a washed up guy. Cool fights.
10. Rocky IV - barely made the list. Dolph's role is really good, but I think they had a thin story which they filled with a lot of music and useless scenes and I detest the undue patriotism of the Reagan era. Rather watch the training montage on youtube because that is epic.
And here's a warning. This is the list of Dolph movies for true fans. Because they kinda suck.
Worst first:
1. Last Warrior / Last Patrol - wish he had never done this. Seriously, it's a pain to watch.
2. The Minion / Knight of the Apocalypse - booooooooring
3. Agent Red - argh.. that was cheap.
4. Diamond Dogs - ok at first sight but in retrospective extremely cheap and Dolph's accidental directorial debut. He learned a lot since then.
5. Detention - cheap and kinda embarrassing.
So you'll notice that his best movies are the oldest and the worst are from a time in between. But fortunately in recent years he has begun to make better movies again (beginning with The Mechanik) and now hopefully he's hit a new high point with The Expendables. In Dolph we trust!
