    :D That's a cool poster in a real macho way.

    Bet there was loads of wraggling between agents about the positioning and size of the heads as well as the egos.

    Who's at the back, whos' at the front, who's next to Stallone, his head is bigger than my head, Brillant! :pac:

    I thought the Expendables movies would be Dolph's way back in to the big time.
    I guess not... :(

    In the mans own words "It was an experience, it wasn't exactly my taste, but I did it for other reasons. I was getting divorced at the time and I needed some cash quickly to pay for a few things... lawyers."

    Harsh. Apparently Sean Bean was in a similar boat not too long ago.

    At this stage, I'd imagine the arguments were more about who gets to be furthest away from Bruce Willis...

    Maybe it's from right to left based on how washed up they are?

    I remember listening to Michael Cane in the actors studio interview and he was asked why he made so many terrible b movies in the 70s and his answer was that he wanted to buy a new house for his mum!

    Wasn't one of his famous interview quotes something like "I don't remember Jaws 4, but I remember the house in the Bahamas it bought me". George Clooney is the same, saying that he has to make movies that make money in order to finance the films he wants to make.

    John Cusack said something similar about doing shit Hollywood movies to allow him to be able to do the indy ones.

    And then you have Brendan Fraser who is the complete opposite, he said that he only makes intelligent, adult dramas inbetween the big budget blockbusters that he likes making.

    "The Quiet American"

    To be fair, most actors operate with that policy: they fund their passion projects with the money they earn from the trashy blockbusters & b-movies. Seems standard fare to me

    Aul Chucky boy nearly derailed it with this PG 13 crap.


    Also he got his arse soundly beaten by Bruce Lee.
    Invincible? I think not.
    Expendable? Very much so (to the cast list anyway)

    As well as that, he recently campaigned for creationism to be taught in schools in the states. Crazy, overrated, pussy-ass, bible-basher.

    He is only famous today because of those jokes. His super crazy christian gig is the cherry on top of his irrelevance

    Agreed. And the only reason the jokes about him being awesome were ever funny was because everyone used to know how completely lame he is (see: Walker, Texas Ranger).

    Dolph Lundgren had turned down Uwe Boll's offer once, before he eventually agreed on the advice of associate producer 'Bob van Ronkel' who had introduced them during a festival in Kazakhstan. Lundgren said in an interview to Empire magazine: "It was an experience, it wasn't exactly my taste, but I did it for other reasons. I was getting divorced at the time and I needed some cash quickly to pay for a few things... lawyers."


    Just saw the next response, oh well, hopefully this will be shown at movie fest :D
