He's had this in mind for a long time, one project set during the Swedish civil war almost got made, hope we can see that sometimes...
They say that he has been offered roles in action movies in Sweden and declined them all (smart move, all Swedish "action" movies suck ace)
Didn't even know they were making action movies, but I think they do quite good thrillers, like "Sleepwalker" i heard was pretty good...

Very few were released in Swedish cinemas, even in his earlier days of glory, "Red Scorpion" and "The Punisher" were banned for their violence and only released later in video, not sure if "Dark Angel" got his way to the silver screen and in the end I guess only R4, MOTU, UniSol and JM got this privilege (and possibly "The Shooter" because I saw a theatrical poster on sale too)... Dolph was really overlooked, people mocked him because he wouldn't do an interview in Swedish (his coach had advised him not to for his American accent), and moreover some Swedish lobbies called for a boycott of his movies after "Red Scorpion" went shooting in South African-ruled Namibia...
But I guess now the big D has grown more of a cult following there among young Swedish generations that he makes very proud of...

I wondered how to find older ancestors than the oldest one on my family tree (born 22.05.1650). Ony recently I read that the Swedes have burned the church books during their invasion - must have been a grudge against all catholics.
