"SAF3" (various directors, 2013-2014, TV series)

IMDB rating 2.2... guess I won't bother to watch it. Would be too painful.

but some people rate it 10/10

Some people give 10/10 to anything, sometimes without having seen the show. Ratings on IMDB don't mean much, especially when it comes to Dolph's movies, but in that case the rating is justified. And knowing Mosquito she'd probably want to smash her screen, except for the few shirtless shots of Dolph.

I'm kinda interested to know what the producers were thinking in making this. Baywatch was a phenomenon and a product of it's time... with all the cynicism out there in the mainstream even a low rent no talent group that created baywatch should have been smart enough to know that show wouldnt work today.

Of course that still doesn't excuse the low rent production and awful quality. I actually feel bad for everyone involved not just Dolph. They may have had something with the whole 3 service branches brought together as one elite team... but the fact this show got on air over the hundreds of others that may have been more quality is just sad.. all because these baywatch people had industry pull is kinda sickening.

Dolph won't be affected by this much cause I doubt anyone other than us and people who watch a ton of T.V. will see it. I randomly came across it last weekend and saw it was a new episode... I couldn't make it through 1 whole scene before cringing and changing the channel.

It's a shame cause there looks to be a show in that mess somewhere.

It's seems like the timing of Dolph filming Expendables 3 has contributed to the feeling of this being incredibly rushed. Obviously the writing is godawful and lazy. Scenes stretch out monotonously with nothing happening, just to make the 50 minute run time.

I think in terms of budget the producers lied completely with their initial sales pitch about filming in North Carolina at 33 million for the show. I think much of the budget has found its way into producers pockets.

But honestly, the initial concept of a new Baywatch seemed silly enough. The thing is though despite the cheese of Baywatch, for what it was, it was done very well. It was totally exploitative and a bit goofy but it ran for almost 10 years for good reason. I really didn't want to see Dolph do another Baywatch sort of show. But given how bad Saf3 is, a show with the quality of Baywatch would have been 50 times better, in every department.
Dolph's so uninterested in this. Clearly he must have known before cameras even rolled that he'd walked into another disaster. Poor production, scumbag producers. The sad part is that to anyone who sees it, besides Dolphs fans, Dolph comes off as looking like a poor mans Hasselhoff. I mean he honestly makes Hasselhoff seem like Daniel Day Lewis in comparison, on Saf3. It's disastrous. Thankfully though, about 3 people have seen it! lol.

We can thank EX3 for sparing D and us during a third of the season (the last episode -without him- might be the worst of all if you can believe it can still be worse). If I'm guessing he's gonna be absent of the show for 7 episodes and the next one should be on air in February.

What I don't like to read is this:

already sold worldwide, including e.tv.

(and according to the Minerva PIctures it should hit Italy next)

Let's get this over with quick, and pray nothing jeopardize the production of SKIN TRADE.

[GeneralMcFaiL]

If EX3 is Dolph's last chance on the big screen he needs to really be on top of his career choices post release. He had a lot of duds after this last expendables. Considering the great press he had coming out of EX2 he needs to capitalize on the exposure better this time around.

[TEMIRLAN]

A Man Will Rise and Skin Trade are kinda progress to me. As far as RUSH/BOR/CJ, well, Dolph always will be having such DTVs and if he mixes them with some better movies than it's fine.

[GeneralMcFaiL]

Well I'm more referring to SAF3 and RTTS.

Yes!

The host asks her if she's had a chance to talk with Dolph on the set, she says that they talked a little bit of swedish, but mostly english. When Dolph heard that she was Miss Finland he came up to her to talk a little bit, he told her that he grew up in a small place in Sweden, just as she grew up in a small place in Finland, he also said that he's happy to see a Finnish actress on the show.

She says that Dolph's very nice, they've had lunch together a few times (with the cast and the crew I assume) and talk a little bit with eachother between takes and such. She also say that he's contantly traveling between Bulgaria and South Africa since he's filming Expendables 3 at the same time.

Then the host asks her if her character is going to have any romantic or sexy scenes with Dolph's character, she says no, Dolph plays the leader of the team, but you never know what will happen with the characters.

Of course the headline is "Sex with Dolph Lundgren?" to get more clicks I guess.

Haha thanks!
