Jox, the Joblo guy also made that joke about the title. I've seen it on the imdb forums before, here, there.... maybe the title wasn't such a good idea. Or it brings more publicity because people try to come up with even more variations. ;-)

weird...

I guess this is the same that happened with the new official website, that is to say they put up online some stuff that is still "work in progress" and put it down when they realized it spread around...

August Schellenberger, one of the Native Americans from Terence Malik's THE NEW WORLD has an important role in MM. That says a lot about the quality of the cast...

To pump up my mood, I'm happy to see that August Schellenberg, from Terence Malik's THE NEW WORLD, is part of the MM cast. Way to go Dolph!

the trailer is on youtube (sorry, can't post URL since i'm a new member)
the fotography and the lights look really cool, I hope they'll keep this look for the finished movie :)
And Dolph looks so badass, in the end, with the shotgun (can't help thinking of Terminator....)
BTW, I'm new here, so hi to everybody

Hey Rover, welcome.

I watched the trailer just now.... and WOW!
What a great trailer.

In a sense i find it a bit sad that Dolph can´t seem to catch a break without himself carrying the the total weight of a film.
Have not seen Diamond Dogs but from what I hear it does not promise much. Seems that the only person in the business who cares for Dolph Lundgren is Dolph Lundgren.
On the other hand, that makes Dolphs determination (and skill) that much more impressive. Seems he is basically on his own.

Someone should show this to Tarantino. A biker-movie about a cool-ass preacher going around kicking butt must be right up his alley.

[...] Seems he is basically on his own.

Because you think people are giving away millions and waisting their time, financing his movies and his big paycheck just for pleasure? Believe me if Dolph was really on his own he wouldn't have gone this far... the movie industry is not that nice...

As I posted yesterday on a Van Damme forum, you have to understand that everybody does what he thinks is best for them, and sometimes that they made bad choices that screw projects or people up but this is nothing personal, just like any other business. And Dolph actually kept working over the years actually because he made friends in the industry on each project...

As for Tarantino, I'm sure he gets his hand on Dolph movies once in a while, he watches everything, but what's the difference? Even if he loved Dolph's new flicks, that doesn't mean he would get Dolph back on his feet on big projects, even if he wanted to... although I believe he could give him a good supporting role like he did for Travolta in Pulp Fiction, I'm getting tired of hearing people talking about Tarantino like some god or something...

I love Tarantino's movies (though I heard that Death Proof is too much talking... Tarantino is a very talkative guy and he creates talkative characters because he just has to tell the world all his thoughts about movies). And I think he could find a great role. But I don't know how resentful he is. I heard he was in a snit when Dolph didn't recognize him when they met a while after Tarantino was (very early in his career) helping with a movie that starred Dolph.

Tarantino shouldn't have hold that against Dolph, the man has changed a lot over the years!
Mosquito, the person who told you Death Proof is too much talking was right...It was a really disapointing movie (for a Pulp Fiction fan like me), which can't happen with a movie directed by Dolph, because you know what to expect :)
Conclusion: Dolph is a better director than Tarantino
