Ultimate Dolph

Swedish interview, some good insights it seems

It makes you wonder what sort of world we are living in where Bruce Willis and Eric Roberts are getting out-acted by Dolph Lundgren.

All of these guys have a great presence on the screen. Especially Dolph Lundgren -- it’s great to see him in a big movie again.

California state workers are mobilizing protest demonstrations at theaters throughout the state screening The Expendables on Friday to protest against mandated furloughs ordered by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has an uncredited cameo role in the movie. “While state workers are being asked to do their job with less money, he is restoring his movie star status,” Jim Zamora, a spokesman for Service Employees International Union Local 1000, told today’s (Wednesday) New York Times. “It’s another slap in the face.” The title of the movie has also given the state workers a rallying cry. “Tell Arnold We’re Not Expendable,” the SEIU’s website declares, followed by “Make Friday the 13th a Day that Arnold Won’t Forget.”

As it stands, there's plenty to find comfort in. Dolph Lundgren's character arc, for instance. Only in a Stallone film could a guy go from shooting men with harpoons to drugs and betrayal [...]The last scene with Dolph generated so much goodwill with me. It's just absolutely... Stallonian.

Giselle Itie’s line delivery makes Dolph Lundgren sound like Laurence Olivier.

I liked the dynamic between Li and Lundgren, who are always at odds and have a fun fight scene

As each famous name flashes across the screen it is greeted with loud cheers and clapping. I saved my loudest cheer for Dolph because Dolph is god.

It would have been great to see Dolph take part in the big action climax because Dolph is god!

It's brutally ballsy and both Dolph and Terry Crews with those guns will make any audience cheer.

the performances, with the notable exception of Lundgren, are distinctly average when it comes to dialogue.

Reviews state that Dolph, Randy, Austin, Crews, Roberts and Rourke have the second tier down from Sly, Stath and Li. I think Dolph is in it for about 20-30 it seems? Jox?
