That means wires, back-flips, kung fu types, and not too realistic action, where someone gets kicked in the head 40 times and they're still running around. No matter who they are. That is something I'm proud of and I feel it will always pay off. He's a guy who started as an actor, a television cowboy, one regarded lightweight. He's now a super heavyweight, and he's worked his way there by hard work.
He's directed 29, 30 movies, you know. I'm at five. Sylvester Stallone is at That means wires, back-flips, kung fu types, and not too realistic action, where someone gets kicked in the head 40 times and they're still running around.
When you see real fights, every kid can see what happens when you get hit in the head once. That's it, it's over. So, that's why I think things are reverting back a little bit. Also CGI came in, and it could make anyone an action star.
You didn't have to know karate, you didn't have to know kung fu, you didn't even have to have muscles, because they can enhance everything with a computer. Filmmakers fell in love with that, and then they didn't need the tough guy, the Steve Austin , the Sylvester Stallone. So, you bring in somebody who's just a good actor. That's commendable too, but you lose that special aura of an action star, where the person is closer to the character.
I suppose things come round in circles, and the audience got tired of that. And now they're into old-school action again. It was tough - the opportunity, the expectations. I had fun working on the actual movie. It was very physical, and I was just getting used to being another person, where what people perceive you as being is different than what you actually are.
That's what stands out when I think of those years, and when I think of those roles. We shot that in Australia - there was a lot of fight training, and they brought in fighters from a dojo in Japan. Since I used to train, talking to those guys was a lot of fun. They didn't really understand about cameras, that it wasn't real, that you didn't need to hit the guy for real. There were two young Japanese fighters, and we had to teach them that you shouldn't kick the other guy in the face with any force.
That was also an over-the-top role. I was there with my girlfriend at the time, Grace Jones. She was in the movie. I was just on the set. I was auditioning for Rocky IV at the time. But I was hanging out, and someone was missing who hadn't shown up, and the director pointed at me and said "Hey, would you like to be in the movie? What do I do? When I tell you to, point the gun and stand there. It was fun. It was great to watch Chris Walken working - I didn't know anything about acting at the time, but it was interesting to watch him work.
It was very unpredictable. I remember during rehearsal, he would not do anything, just mumble. And people were just looking at him like "Jesus, this guy is awful. I remember the actor he was playing opposite being so shocked - just standing there, not knowing what to do. Walken would come at him from every angle: with rage, with this, with that.
He was just in shock, like "Wow, what a great actor. Grace was there too, of course. She beat up a few people, I remember. In front of the camera, anyway. He walked different and talked different, and used body language like a street preacher, and had a wig and a long beard. I remember my agent showing up on set, and he walked up to me and said "Hey, have you seen Dolph Lundgren? Keanu Reeves was in it, and we had a little fight scene. It was before Speed came out, so he was only sort-of well-known.
But I enjoyed that experience. It was also fun to play a smaller role. It was the first time I played a supporting role and didn't have to carry the movie. It wasn't heavy, I didn't have to work almost every day, and then I was done with my part. After this, he studied at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and graduated with a degree in chemical engineering.
By , he achieved a black belt in karate. Lundgren completed a master's degree in chemical engineering at The University of Sydney with the highest marks of any member of his class. Lundgren earned a Fullbright scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, however he was spotted working as a bouncer by singer Grace Jones and was subsequently hired to be her bodyguard.
The two fell in love during this period. He ended up briefly playing a KGB agent in the film. From here, Lundgren decided that he preferred acting to chemical engineering, and pursued the role of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV He was turned down, due to his height, but later got the part anyway, going on to star alongside Sylvester Stallone.
In , Lundgren played the lead role in Masters of the Universe, although the film was panned by audiences and critics alike. Despite its success at the box office, critics like Roger Ebert responded negatively to it. In , Lundgren made his directorial debut with The Defender, which he also starred in.
This began a slew of action movies which Lundgren acted in and directed, all of which have earned moderate success. In , Lundgren reunited with Stallone in The Expendables, a film based on the high-octane action movies Lundgren has inhabited for the majority of his career. Lundgren returned in and to reprise his role as Gunner Jensen in the series. He married Anette Qviberg in and the couple have two children.
In , they divorced from each other. Eddie Mannix is a fixer who works in Hollywood where he tames celebrities and keeps theirs, and movie studios', secrets out of the press - no matter how big the story. It's not the easiest job in the world, and it's certainly not always the most morally fulfilling, but it's about to get a whole lot harder when one studio, Capitol Pictures, presents him with a major problem the likes of which could be career destroying.
They're working on a huge production epic entitled 'Hail, Caesar! Mannix enlists a feisty and beautiful female star to procure the money, while Whitlook finds himself in a most unusual situation. Continue: Hail, Caesar! The edition of Gumball kicked off in Sweden's capital at the weekend, with plenty of famous faces spotted enjoying the unique celebrations. This year's intense motor rally proves to be just as thrilling as the previous 16 years. The excitement began with some of the world's most incredible sports cars arriving at Norrbro North Bridge in Stockholm on Saturday May 23rd before kicking off their international road trip the following day, en route to Oslo, Norway.
Once there, it's not only the epic car racing that was to be enjoyed, but skateboarding legend Tony Hawk also made an appearance to demonstrate the moves that made him a household name. Striking a tone somewhere between the po-faced original and the silly Part 2, this rampaging action nonsense is badly overcrowded and chaotic, but there's plenty of comedy and whizzy stuntwork to keep the audience entertained.
It of course helps a lot that the film is packed to the rafters with iconic actors and lively newcomers.
And their sassy dialogue helps make up for the idiotic plot. It opens with a prison break, as Barney Sylvester Stallone and his team Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture and Terry Crews rescue their old cohort Doc Wesley Snipes then head off on a mysterious mission that turns out to involve their presumed-dead nemesis Stonebanks Mel Gibson , who is targeting Barney's team.
The ever-increasing cast means that some characters can't help but be pushed into the shadows Crews and Li are barely in this film , while others hover around the edges of scenes injecting moments of sarcastic wit. Each of the characters gets his or her moment of eye-popping action, as the film lurches from set-piece to set-piece in a whirl of bombs, bullets and blades.
All of this is fun because the actors are gleefully refusing to take any of this seriously. The scene-stealers this time are Gibson, terrific as the swaggering villain, and Banderas, who's hilarious as the only person who can string a sentence together.
