Yes of course and though I drool every time when I watch Red Scorpion, I also think that he still has an awesome body (not only for his age but in general... most 25 year olds can't compete with such a sixpack). And maybe die hard, brainless action like Men Of War (which I also like very much) isn't hip anymore there's stil a martial arts hype going on. Jet Li can tell you about it. Even Asian productions like Ong Bak can now be very successful in the western world, too. So with Dolph being a real martial arts expert he should PLEASE show us more.
Heck, the Defender had a story but even Men Of War had much more story to tell, right? SILT is so old but it is a great buddy movie and those never die! What about Shanghai Noon? Isn't that a silly martial arts buddy movie? And AFAIK it was very successful.
Give him a big budget and give him a role like St. Andrew Scott or the Street Preacher and he can show what he is capable of! Stop with those sad 800.000 $ productions that drive tears to the fans's eyes!
PS: Just scanned the Capri link you posted, Jox. Dolph in a movie together with Max von Sydow? There's hope!
