Training with Stallone he never benched more than 300 he also said in an interview. For somebody 6-5, 240 lb that's not much at all. His training was always more centered around being in the athletic fighter. Big legs And a lean thinner upper body. The only bulked up for movies that demanded it. Rocky 4, Red Scorpion, masters of the universe, showdown in Little Tokyo, universal soldier, etc. His raw strength came from his size and his athletics mostly.

    • @LukeMaynard
      @LukeMaynard 3 месяца назад

      ​@@halfvader8015 OK, here's the accuracy. He won national Kyokushin Karate championships in his native Sweden in 1980 and 1981, and a then moved to Sydney, Australia, where he won more competitive tournament, and also worked as a bouncer in a notorious Sydney bar to fund his way through his Master's program in Chemical Engineering. Dolph Lundgren's MSc is actually from the University of Sydney in 1982. Then, in 1983, he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to attend MIT to pursue his doctorate.
      Dolph started the whole immigration process as a doctoral student and Fulbright Scholar, but ultimately met model/actress Grace Jones at the nightclub where he worked, worked briefly as her bodyguard, and began a short-lived whirlwind relationship with her which took him to New York instead of Boston. He actually did start his PhD program, but was at MIT a very short time, less than a semester, I think, before dropping out to stay in New York with her. He worked as a bouncer at the Limelight in Manhattan, took acting classes, dabbled a bit in modeling, and was lured by the glamour of Grace's lifestyle to make a life out of acting instead of chemistry.
      Although they broke up soon after, he remained on good terms with Grace, who worked on the James Bond movie "A View to a Kill," in which he got his first bit part through her recommendation. It was there that Stallone found him and cast him as Drago.
      Famously, Lundgren was still struggling with English at the time, which is something like his 6th language, and found that acting was not as forgiving to a thick accent and language struggles as being a chemistry professor would have been. While he was working hard to improve his English, the only movie roles he got were these parts where they needed a guy who was 6'5" of solid muscle and also a highly skilled martial artist. There was not a lot of those movies. In fact, even though Grace Jones later appeared in Conan the Destroyer, the 6'5" Lundgren could not appear with Schwarzenegger, who was massively well-muscled but only 5'10", as he would have made the film's enormous leading barbarian look tiny.
      As terrible as it was, I think "Masters of the Universe" was his big break as an actor, almost by accident. Although there's no record of what the film WOULD have been if Mattel had actually bankrolled it to the planned tune of something like $100 million, I do know that the film was PLANNED to be an offworld epic, set on Eternia just like the cartoon, with a lot of the classic cartoon characters. The original plan, I'm SURE, was to do the same thing they did for "The Incredible Hulk," which got Bill Bixby to do most of the acting heavy lifting as Banner, and only used Lou Ferrigno for a couple of action-packed minutes every episode.
      When they started casting actors, of course Lundgren was who they got for He-Man, because Rocky IV had just made him recognizable even though he only had something like three heavily-accented lines in it. But I think the plan was kind of the same: cast a physically small A-list teenager, like one of the Brat Pack or one of the Goonies actors with another 5-6 years on them, as Prince Adam, to do all of the acting heavy lifting, and then only throw Dolph Lundgren in for the big action pieces as alter-ego He-Man where there were really not too many lines for him to mangle.
      Then, of course, that whole movie went south when Mattel discontinued all the toys they were trying to sell and yanked all their money out of the production. The film had already signed and paid its principal actors, all of whom were pretty great--Frank Langella, Meg Foster, Billy Barty as a probable Orko, and Dolph Lundgren. They had built just one of the sets--that enormous Throne Room that takes up like half the movie. And suddenly they had zero budget left for anything--wasting all that money on the throne room and $150,000 on one Cosmic Key prop alone, they suddenly couldn't afford to hire ANYONE else. They could afford to rent the professional cameras rigs and lighting equipment, OR to rent the trucks to deliver the equipment to their Hollywood sets, but not both. So basically, they were stuck shooting the movie within a reasonable pushing distance of the place they rented it from. Screenwriter David Odell, who had penned an offworld sword & sorcery space epic that could have been amazing, was instead given 3 weeks to completely rewrite a He-Man script that could take place only within the throne room of Grayskull, or on location in tiny Whittier, California, where the film equipment was located--with the further restriction that action scenes taking place at night because that's the only time they could afford to shut down a street.
      It's amazing they got a movie made of that at all. Meanwhile Dolph Lundgren, who had signed the contract to be He-Man, expecting maybe a few big action sequences and maybe 10 lines instead of 4, was suddenly the leading actor in a movie that couldn't afford to hire another actor as Prince Adam, and so was stuck as He-Man the whole time with the "secret identity" thing completely scrapped. In some ways, the movie was a disaster, but in others, it gave Dolph Lundgren much more screen time and dramatic work than anyone ever intended to give him. And I'm convinced that all the bad news for that film was really good news for him.

    A more important question was if he was established when he got the role in Rocky IV. He had a small role in the James Bond movie "A View to a Kill". Then followed with this movie which allowed him to start playing in starring roles.
    In boxing it's only considered a crime if a person hid something hard or heavy in your gloves. All boxers' hands are considered lethal weapons, and they understand the dangers. They also know not to get into a fight with the public because they could be held responsible. Although there have been occasions where this has happened.

    Coby, it's important to understand the back story. Back then Russia was still the USSR (Soviet Union), which was America primary nemesis in the world. However when it came to sports, Communist countries only engaged in amateur tournaments like the Olympics, which by rule was aka amateurs, including Americans. So we never got to use out best (pros) in the Olympics etc., but their amateurs were amateurs in name only. They fought, played and trained like pros. That's why they called it "The Miracle on Ice" when a bunch of college kids from America defeated the most dominant Hockey team in the world in 1980. The Soviet Hockey team was so dominant they beat the NHL All-Stars and the defending champs in exhibition tournaments, and made it look easy. So that's the backdrop of this movie. It was made when the "COLD WAR" and all of the above still applied.

    An exhibition is basically a glorified sparring match. Generally, you're not trying to knock each other out. That's why Apollo took it lightly. Also, Drago had never fought a professional fight up to that point, so Apollo had every reason to take it lightly.
    Additionally, Apollo wasn't trying to hurt Drago, he was trying to embarrass him. He found out too late that Drago was trying to hurt him.

I think the trailer maybe gave it away. So it really wasn't a shock when they killed him off. I was like 8 years old. Stallone was my hero. And still is. That man is finally getting respect as a writer/director. The respect he should have gotten back then. They used to make fun of him because of the way talked. So he wasn't taken seriously. Jealous because his movies in the 80's made bank. And he had a fan base. The men in my family love Stallone like a rock star.

    During the fight with Drago Rocky started with the mind games and went street fighting using experience knowing Drago didn't know that type of fighting because he's a prize fighter...took Drago through several feelings...1) Uncertainty 2) Disbelief 3) Frustration and finally just all out not caring about boxer only to end Rocky being bigger, stronger and younger and couldn't put the older one away.

    A boxing exhibition qualifies as an amateur fight, which means it doesn’t impact your professional record - it’s just a showcase, an “exhibit” of skill.

    Dolph Lundgren. Was in Rocky IV and that was one of the first films that he was in. But since then he’s been in over 100 films. 2023 he was in one of the more recent Aquaman films and he played king.Nereus
    There is rumored to be upcoming film with Dolph Lundgren renewing his role as Drago. And the name of the film would be Drago, but that’s just rumored right now.

    I think this movie is particularly relevant today. What with the war in Russia currently. Rocky says it's better to have 2 guys fight to the death rather than millions. This was also an anti-war film.
    Also, the real Creed died recently. Actor Carl Weathers. Stallone said some nice things about him online. RIP Carl Weathers/Apollo Creed. -OG

    Sylvester Stallone starred in Rambo: First Blood Part 2 the same year as this. Both films are the highest grossing entries in their respective franchises.

    You absolutely must watch College Humor's mock "ESPN 30 for 30" skit on RUclips. They use actual ESPN commentators to discuss the Balboa-Drago fight as if it actually happened, and was responsible for ending the Cold War. It is extremely well done, and hilarious!

    I read that the robot was in the movie because Stallone's oldest son Seargeoh (the baby in Rocky 2) is autistic, and Stallone had seen an interview with the robot's inventor where he mentioned that he felt that in certain educational situations a child may respond/learn more from a robot than a human teacher. So, in between takes Stallone, the robot and the inventor would work with Seargeoh.
    I also read that in an earlier draft of the script that when Adrian came to Russia to support Rocky that she would reveal that she was pregnant.

    Nice reaction. This Rocky IV fight will affect Rocky far beyond this film. Both physically with Drago and mentally with the loss of Apollo. It saddens me more today watching this movie knowing that in real life Carl Weathers did recently pass away. Keep up with the movies. The Creed movies are good too and does a fine job of incorporating Apollo and his legacy.

  • @John-cc1bo

    An exhibition doesn’t count towards professional fight records and is generally looked on as a good natured sporting match. But at the end of the day boxing is a throwback to gladiators and fights to the death. Boxers are pretty much damn near killing each other. Muhammad Ali said after his third fight with Joe Frazier that he felt like he was literally dying on his feet. Fights no longer go past 12 rounds as the last 15 round fight in the 80’s ended up with a Korean fighter dying afterwards with the amount of damage he endured. R.I.P. Duk-Koo Kim.

    There is a director's version with almost 30 minutes of never-before-seen scenes that intensify the drama. This version has better dialogue and fights which make the film better in my opinion. A film with more heart and depth, closer to the style of the first two.

    I was a little nervous watching your reaction for this movie. I could tell you were really starting to like the Apollo Creed character and their friendship, and it was obvious that you really didn't see his death coming. Way to power through it.
    I have a feeling that your friends that you go to watch movies with really enjoy your company.
