In 2000, you made The Last Patrol with my fellow countryman Dolph Lundgren. Does he live up to the nickname he's been given as 'The friendly giant'?
He was friendly and intelligent and always a gentleman. A real pleasure to work with.
Swedes are known for having a hard work ethic and always being on time. Did you find those qualities in Dolph when making this movie?
Absolutely. He always showed up on time, had all of his lines memorized, and spoke English like he had been born in America.
It's one of only three movies you directed, but didn't write yourself. Do you find it harder to direct movies you haven't also written?
In almost every case, the movies I’ve written have turned out to be better movies. I thought the script for The Last Patrol was mediocre, but I wasn’t allowed to make any changes to it. Although there are aspects of it that I like, of all the movies I’ve been involved with it’s my least favorite.
To make a long story short, by the time we were in post-production, Kotzky was out of money. Desperate, he asked his old friend, Avi Lerner, to drop by our editing room in Jaffa to take a look at the rough cut. Avi apparently liked what he saw, knew he could sell it, and subsequently came to Kotzky’s rescue and took over the film. That’s why it was mixed at Avi’s sound facility in Los Angeles (Ground Control), and that’s why you see the Nu Image logo at the beginning of the movie.
