Ultimate Dolph

well we all know who would win but I have just seen the clip of them at Cannes squaring off so he comes the question (sorry if everyone knows the answer) - WAS IT REAL, OR PUBLICITY STUNT???

Officially it was a publicity thing but it might have been sort of both

Ah sorry if you alrady posted it Jox 9course you did silly me) not had a chance to get round everything on the site yet.

GREAT site BTW.

Best publicity ever! Ayone know what the 2 were saying? I can't hear it in the video...

Not cant make it out either, would be very interesting to know!

If I am not mistaken the conversation is as follows (i took Lip Reading 101 in high school):

Van Damme: "Mr. Lundgren, in your next movie, can I be the comedy sidekick again, like I was in Universal Soldier?"

Dolph: "No, I can´t keep carrying your belgian ass through any more films. Move on with your life!"

Van Damme "I KILL YOU, CONNARD! I am a black belt ballet dancer!"

Dolph: "Yeah? Well, I´m Dolph fckng Lundgren!"

Van Damme: "That´s true... I apologize!"

lol - thats not to far from the truth i expect.

Thanks man.I never had any ideea that this is what they're talking about.

Thank you Dolphage! I'm impressed, you can read on their lip on a crappy Youtube video? Did you made this up?

Oh im sure it was made up, but I bet its better than the real conversation

I admit: I DID make that up! It was a joke (otherwise known as a "lie").
I have no idea what they´re saying...

Publicity stunt or not, Dolph was asked, in a television inteview, if he would have taken Van Damme in a fight and Dolph said; "Of course, I´m a Viking".

I have mentioned that interview before on the forum but it was so god damn awesome I had to say it again.

Viking?!?!?!

Is this video online somewhere? I can picture Dolph saying that ^^

Yeah, that would be cool.

Well, he said it in swedish: "Ja, det är klart, man är väl viking!".
So that might decrease it´s "oneliner awesomeness" in one way but it adds a new dimension of awesomeness in another way (don´t ask why, it just does).

It was a swedish show from the mid-nineties, and I haven´t found it online.

But in it he sort of, reluctantly, kind of admitted that it was a publicity stunt.

Viking?!?!?!

Yes, viking.... I don´t understand the question/exclamation....
