Talk:Dolph Lundgren

Hitler Comparison?

Is there a source for the idea that Drago's charachter was inspired by Hitler? Only 'man of few words' isn't the traditional description of one of the worlds most famous orators.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulus4949 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's not like he would have failed the test of Hitler's "Aryan ideal men". Ironically, he played a Russian in Rocky IV, and we all know what Hitler felt about Slavic people. — EliasAlucard (Discussion · contribs) 14:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Dolph Lundgren does not speak that many languages

I just finished watching Russia Today not more than 20 seconds ago and Lungren has said that he does not speak that many languages.

Nyland

I come from a nearby neighborhood to Nyland, a small village in the Northen Sweden (Ångermanland) and Dolph Lundgren is supposed to come from there, and not from stockholm. He went to the local school Ådalsskolan when he was you and graduated with 5.0 as avarage (the top) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.241.212.7 (talk) 00:56, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

I come in Peace

What about "I come in Peace???" The ultimate Lundgren classic!!! Not even mentioned on wiki!

Pff, the ultimate dolph lundgren quote is "I MUST BRAKE YOU!!". Ps. I heard he is half Russian, true or not?

It was listed as "Dark Angel", which was the shooting title. IMDB has it listed as Dark Angel, but Dolph's offical site calls it "I Come In Peace" so I'd consider that more accurate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.210.210.95 (talk) 04:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

Lundgren's IQ

There seems to be some confusion about this, on his messages board on his website, he wrote in answer to a question, [1]

Question: " But is it true that you have a genius-level IQ?"

Lundgren: "No I have a genius level IQ."

and

Question: "With a reported IQ of 160, the chance to attend MIT, and theability to speak 5 languages, why acting? I have enjoyed several of your films, but do you ever feel you could have done more with your mental gifts than with your physical ones?"

Lundgren: "Well, acting just happened. It wasn’t something a planned. But it happened and I sure enjoyed the business. My mental gifts as you called them have helped me a lot though."

Yet on IMDB, there is "Said to have an I.Q. of 160, but according to himself this is untrue." [2]

My guess, is if he really does speak five languages then there's a good chance he does have a high IQ. As for his being a polyglot, he has this to say, "Well I speak Swedish and English of course, then German, French, Spanish, Some Italian and Japanese. There you have it! Best Regards," [3]

What does it mean? Well, maybe he is simply being modest, or on the other hand since he did write

"No I have a genius level IQ.",

and the 'No' may have been a freudian slip. Balance of probablities suggests he is in fact a smart cookie.

It may be because he does not have a "genius-level IQ," but instead has a "genius level IQ." See the - ?

-unknown editor

You've got me there, maybe his IQ is dropping off with age and he forgot the hyphen. :)

I have removed the paragraph about his IQ, he states in several interviews that this is not correct. ArchStanton (talk) 07:22, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I added an (obvioulsly not wholly serious, but more humble than 160 ) quote from Lundgren himself claiming he's barely smarter than a chimpanzee due to his boxing. here's a link to the article in Swedish. http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesliv/klick/article1492456.ab --64.173.240.130 (talk) 18:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Height

I saw an interview with him on Swedish TV some years ago where he claimed he was only 193cm (6'4).

I've seen that too (well, a text version): the interviewer said he's 198 cm (6 ft 6 in), but he corrected it to 193 cm (the trivia section has this a bit weird using Imperial units with decimals). However, cirka 1986 he said 195 cm (6 ft 4¾ in) – the 6 ft 5 in figure is likely an approximation of that. And in between he's said 194 cm (6 ft 4½ in). This isn't that unusual though – these big muscle men, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno seem to lose some height with age. I've seen him state his weight between 99 and 111 kg (218 & 245 lb) over the years. --Anshelm '77 02:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Not only that, but the first two items under 'trivia' seem to contradict each other in terms of his height....

Yes 6'5" is 195.55 cm or 1.955 M not 200cm or 2M ..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.24.2 (talk) 22:27, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

languages

"He speaks five languages: Swedish, English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese" .... 5? or 6? --Nambio 01:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, i remember when he came back from some filming in the US and forgot how to speak Swedish, so can we take that off the list (i'm being sarcastic) --64.173.240.130 (talk) 18:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Is he really a MSc in ChEngineering?

I've checked at U. of Sydney and I didn't find any citation from Hans Lundgren. If there's a Master degree thesis of Lundgren I would find it in the search tool of U.Sydney Library (opac.library.usyd.edu.au). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.54.247.58 (talk) 19:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

spain

according to his website, he lives in spain. but this article says he lives in stockholm and new york.

I heard he lives in London sometimes

No - he does not live mainly in Stockholm. I have met him once. Coolaid4u 00:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Hulk picture?

Why is there a picture of what appears to be the Hulk when (a) this doesn't appear to be him, as I don't see anything that credits him as playing the Hulk and (b) the caption says that it is a picture of him as Ivan Drago? Tozoku 22:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Evidence of the nemesis assertion?

Please excuse me, but where is the evidence to support the claim "He is also the true life main nemesis of Bruce Campbell."? I can find no information in this article nor in the article on Bruce Campbell to support this claim... Please explain! Thank you!!  : ) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Keyuehan (talk • contribs) 05:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

I heard he created the atom bomb, can anyone confirm this ?

Infobox

There's lots of info in the infobox if you look at the code for the page but not very much if you look at the page. Why is this? can someone fix it? Entheta (talk) 23:19, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

K1

There should be a reference to his fighting background. It was Kyoshin Karate (or however you spell that), and he had a fight with Oleg ~3 years ago... you can find youtube videos of him fighting when he was young, and when he was much older vs. Oleg 80.108.103.172 (talk) 19:11, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
