"COMMAND PERFORMANCE"
11:00 A.M. DOLPH LUNDGREN stars in "COMMAND PERFORMANCE" as Joe, a drummer on tour with his band as the opening act for the popular pop-star Venus (played by Melissa Smith). The Moscow concert takes place in a huge indoor arena where terrorists overrun security to kidnap Russian President Petrov and his children as they massacre many members of the audience and wire the building with explosives. With his entire band murdered, Joe is trapped in the building and soon has to use his resourses from his violent past in order to escape with the hostages.

1:00 P.M. DOLPH LUNDGREN Stage Interview. Find out about DOLPH's classic Action Movies and his new Movies such as "THE EXPENDABLES."

3:30 P.M. DOLPH LUNDGREN stars in "DIRECT ACTION" as veteran cop Frank Gannon. After Frank agrees to blow the whistle on police corruption, his fellow officers of the Direct Action task force implicate him in a deadly drug scam. Frank has one day to prove his innocence, if he can stay alive.

Dolph was scheduled to be a guest at the show around 1989 but things didn't work out at that time. I was working on a promotion with the video company releasing The Punisher and Dark Angel (it was under the title I Come in Peace at the time) and they supplied prints of each in the 35MM format. The Punisher was screened in 35MM on a triple bill with The Flash (the CBS-TV series-a rare 35mm screening) and The Guyver. I Come in Peace was screened with Robotjox and The Watchers II (I think these were the films, I can't find the flyers for each event right now). I think my show was the only time The Punisher and I Come in Peace were shown on film in the US. The Command Performance and Direct Action screening will be in Blu-Ray.

Hello guys, I just got back from the Science Fiction/Comic Book Convention in downtown Los Angeles where Dolph Lundrgren made a special guest appearance! Not sure if any other zoners were there but it was great to see him in person. He looked in great shape and he spoke for a good while, did a short Q&A session with the fans, and then signed about a hundred autographs. I took a few photos, unfortunately somewhat blurry, but they're here for all to see:

The host took up most of the time with his rambling and IMO, he was trying to come at Dolph like he was some form of legitimate reporter. Didn't really give him much to work with and would sometimes not even give the man a chance to speak. When the open Q&A went down...some questions were:

1. How was like fighting JCVD now in comparison to UniSol1?
Dolph : It was a lot easier now, let's just say less resistance *laughs*

2. In relation to your villain roles, how much creative freedom was allowed on the set? Specifically UniSol1..

3. Are you in and developments for any Marvel films?

4. What did you think of the last two Punisher films?

5. *Teacher Question* Do you have any advice towards the kids in my class in regards to chemical engineering and pursuing that?

There were some other questions but I was pretty nervous as I was up there asking questions as well. Dolph did express disinterest in comic book characters saying he's "not into jumping from wall to wall" but he likes to be grounded. There was even a crackhead looking lady who caused a scene during the Q&A, she looked and acted like she was ready to conceive Dolph's child right there on the spot. But Dolph held his composure well and luckily any contact with the lady.

Overall it was more or less a surreal experience being there in the flesh with the original Punisher..Hope I gave some good insight as to what went down. Thanks guys!

Mike.
