You might already know this, but Dolph Lundgren really is a darn genius. The series pokes fun at his character intentionally a lot because of it. His academic resume is beyond impressive.

[@ReymundoCortez]

Yes dude is mad smart.

[@danielg6566]

The series likes to poke fun at several of the guys. Like breaking Wesley Snipes' character out of jail for "tax evasion."

[@robertnguyen9493]

I.Q. is 165 and he was studying Chemical Engineering before meeting Grace Jones and dropping out to pursue acting

[@colinweir3203]

I heard he was a Fulbright Scholar. Smart dude.

[@clevelandbci9562]

@@danielg6566 Can't believe I missed that somehow. I caught it in Zombieland 2, and he wasn't even in it.

[@rencloudkicker]

Dolph as a good guy. Showdown in Little Tokyo (with Brandon Lee) good early 90's action style, He also played the Punisher in the late 80s. I don't recall too much on that one.

[@ComicPhreak]

The Masters of the Universe movie.

[@TboneTenEighties]

I come in peace "Then you go in pieces"

[@4Everlast]

He was the russian "Rambo" in Red scorpion, but hands down his best roll was as the GREAT bad guy in UniSol.

[@benlarmouth]

Black Jack *classic*

[@k.delpino1124]

What up C.I. Finally you've entered an action movie lover's dream come true. In the making since the 1990s and worth the wait. One of the hardest films that Stallone has ever performed in as an action star and filmmaker. This coming out after Rocky Balboa (2006) and Rambo 4 (2008) was unadulterated madness. Plus it was at Comic-Con, days before it was released. So many homages to the genre. Great chemistry between the actors. Unbelievable sequences. Brace yourself dude. This series is pure fire.

[@mcgilj1]

Dolph plays a good guy in many of his movies. From He Man.. to the first live action version of "The Punisher" (my personal favorite version actually).

[@cheeseburger12]

Well, the Punisher isn't exactly a "good guy." But He-man certainly is. He played a cop in "I Come In Peace" and that was mostly a good guy.

[@donaldseale2700]

@@cheeseburger12 Also a cop in one of my personal favorites. Showdown in Little Tokyo. Where he partnered with Brandon Lee.

[@johnlloyddy7016]

One of my favorite Dolph Lungren movie is a European movie titled "Silent Trigger". But most of his most iconic roles were as a villain especially in "A View to a Kill", "Rocky 4", "Universal Soldier" and even "Johnny Mnemonic" opposite Keanu Reeves.

[@Naldo2001]

one of the first movies i saw him play the good guy was Red Scorpion

[@mcgilj1]

@@donaldseale2700 don't know how I neglected to mention this one.. Love it.. Got the Warmer archive Blu disc.. wish they had done a sequel.. Such a fun buddy action comedy.

[@SupremeJudge]

Showdown in Little Tokyo, you'd love it. Dolph and Brandon had really great chemistry.

[@dennisanderson8663]

I love that movie but the script makes me cringe sometimes. And these are the people that are currently striking right now in Hollywood when they can't even write good original stuff and just reboot movies now.

[@LouiepTv]

I definitely think you will enjoy Expendables 2 better! best one in the franchise in my opinion. Looking forward to your reaction to it!

[@fjbsdoa1976]

I agree the 2nd one is better but I like 3 the best

[@kenlangston3451]

Dolph Lundgren played He-Man and the Punisher in movies in the 80s.

[@robmcdonald6808]

Glad i scrolled down before i put this exact same comment lol

[@clevelandbci9562]

Dolph was actually the teacher in Kindergarten Cop 2 (a good guy role). I didn't know it existed til recently tbh.

[@ReymundoCortez]

Its pretty good better than what I thought.

[@clevelandbci9562]

@@ReymundoCortez Agreed. Pleasantly surprised me.

[@jldog134]

I did like that it was funny seeing Dolph do a role out of his comfort zone.

[@mayorjimmy]

this entire franchise is the best. love letters to 80s action awesomeness.

[@clevelandbci9562]

That Fry And Die scene is pure badassery.

[@1639danmcc]

I believe the scene where Stone Cold slams Stallone into a stone wall, it actually broke his back!

[@JBeck33]

And it was one of the first scenes they filmed. Sly says he barely remembers directing the movie because of all the pain killers he was on.

[@mellycook]

Back and did damage to his neck. Sly just had his 7th back surgery from doing all his own stunts. When he does speaking engagements now he tells them “don’t do your own stunts”

[@franticrage73]

Arnold was Governor when he filmed this. Stallone did get hurt by Stone Cold Steve Austin. Loved the Terry Crews weapon. The matchups in the end were top notch, wrestler vs MMA fighter and couple martial artists against one mad bad guy martial artists and so on. Number 2 is better.

[@mariescott]

He actually plays a good guy in a lot of his movies. Of all the movies he's done only like 25% of them have him playing a bad guy. A majority of the movies he did in the late 80's to early 90's he usually played the good guy. He also had a short lived tv series called Saf3 (Safe). It only had 20 episodes but I thought it deserved more. He played the leader of a group of people from the Sea, Air, and Fire divisions of the Malibu Fire Department.

[@TboneTenEighties]

Great simple idea by the great Sly Stallone. Gathered all the troops and made a super fun movie x3 👍👍 Part 2 is my fav because JCVD. The battle was not long enough.......

[@_toph_]

12:55 the fresh prince insert is too perfect 😆😅😂🤣 edit: yes, if you know what to expect, expendables is lots of fun (same goes with the sequels).

[@mactony4]

Terry has a story about this movie, during the production, the script constantly changed and he was angry at Stallone because his character was basically just there, not doing anything. He decided to do the bare minimum until he started thinking about himself and changed his way, doing everything he could. At one point Stallone noticed that Terry changed and decide to make a scene specially for him, it was the part in the tunnel where Terry's character was shredding through the soldier with his special gun.

[@deansamos7372]

Awesome. You have to check out part 2 because its way better then the first and Van Damme plays the bad guy!!!

[@scottsv96]

Pt 2 kills it. Arnie and Stallone in the airport💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@jdogjohnson9038]

It has good stuff but I don't think it's better the finale in this first one can't be topped literally explosive and fun the finales in 2&3 aren't near this level I don't mind one liners but I think 2 went overboard to almost parody level.

[@scottsv96]

@@jdogjohnson9038 the more overboard the better

[@jdogjohnson9038]

@@scottsv96 it just felt like a parody the first one had humor but it wasn't near as ridiculous it still had some intense action scenes and chase scenes I didn't feel 2 had the same intensity to it the first did there were a lot of outdated jokes especially from Arnold I'd have kept it the same level as the first one the fight between Stallone and van damme could've been a lot better Stallone did most of the damage when there could've been a good even back and forth between them it felt a bit off I did like how Stallone wrapped the chain around him and pulled him into the knife that was badass I just would've liked a better fight overall 2 also felt tame the only bit I felt had real carnage was the opening them going In and parts flying after that it felt tame I hope this 4th one is bit less jokey maybe a bit of humor but not overboard and still intense.

[@scottsv96]

@@jdogjohnson9038 it's just great to see these guys taking the piss out of themselves.

[@brockhedge2750]

Jet Li is such a bad ass. I read that when he is kicking ass in a movie with martial arts. He can be fast enough so he doesn't need special effects. In all his movies he does all his own stunts...

[@pleutron]

Dolph plays the perfect "good guy" in the original 1989 movie version of the comic hero _The Punisher_ and also co-starring another acting legend... Louis Gossett Jr. And another hero based on a cartoon in 1987's _Masters Of The Universe_

[@tomaskennedy]

Dolph Lundgren's role was originally offered to Van Damme, but he turned it down because he didn’t want to lose a fight to Jet Li!!

[@jrny20]

Roles where Dolph Lungdren was a good guy(That I know of): He-man and the Masters of the Universe I Come in Peace(My favorite of his films) The Punisher Showdown in Little Tokyo Detention And probably most of his direct-to-video movies.

[@chrisinfiesto835]

Cant wait 4 u 2 do the sequels!!!! 💯🔥🤙🏽😎 Stallone actually got hurt pretty bad when Stone Cold slammed him against that wall! 😳

[@mellycook]

He got hurt Very bad

[@shoujahatsumetsu]

Stallone and Schwarzenegger in a scene together in this was the greatest duo since Pacino and De Niro had their first scene together in Heat.

[@MrMarioski]

Lots of Dolp Lundgren love in the comments and I love it. Joshua Tree/Army of One (1993) is definitely an overlooked action film. Same director as the Universal Soldier stunt co-ordinator, Vic Armstrong. Tons of shoot outs, car chases and good guys vs. bad cops. Dolph even does a brilliant job with his stunt driving!

[@robertnguyen9493]

Joshua Tree/Army of One is one of his best movies in my opinion.

[@robertnguyen9493]

I love this movie, and Randy Couture is one of my favorite MMA fighters. Love how his cauliflower ear is mentioned, probably because I got it myself

[@ComicPhreak]

You really need to watch "The Best of the Best" with Eric Roberts in it who plays the main villain in this movie. He's also Julia Roberts' brother.

[@krono5el]

Dolph was a protagonist in a childhood classic 'I Come in Peace' but it was named something else in europe. the amount of pyro and explosions in that movie is insane for a obvious b flick : D

[@jonathanwelchbmnc7615]

Can’t wait to watch your reaction to part 2. The first 2 are awesome action movies, and I can’t decide which one I like better. Part 2 definitely has more action though.

[@brandimurray1984]

Loved watching you watch this and cannot wait for the next two!

[@satyadasgumbyji8956]

Mentioned "9 to 5" yesterday on War Games, but if haven't seen, there's also Broderick in, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", of course, & a great underrated comedy called "Election" ( comedy about high-school, btw!). & as far as Sheedy, she was great n "Breakfast Club", but also an amazing film w/ a young Sean Penn (seems a lot of younger folks not familiar w/, but he's up there w/ Pacino!) called "Bad Boys", yrs b4 Lawrence/Smith comedy. It's hardcore af! All those great films!! ✌ ❤ 🚬

[@zmarko]

Dolph played a good guy in a movie called I Come in Peace (the film is also known as Dark Angel depending on what country one lives in). It's a fun sci-fi action buddy cop movie. And shit blows up all over the place. Lol. It's a fun time. Check it out sometime.

[@Belnick6666]

99% of his movies he is the star and therefore the hero

[@jdogjohnson9038]

Really enjoyed that when I watched It actually found it on KZbin a ways ago I'd like to own it.

[@Reginmund]

For a really great 80s action movie where Dolph Lundgren plays the good guy, check out Showdown in Little Tokyo. Also starring Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa as the villain.

[@heathernevins1810]

This is one of my favorite movies. The sequel is great too!

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

YES!!! BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR SOMEONE TO REACT TO THIS!!!!!

[@sharonjoan1970]

Jason Statham on the basketball court never gets old❤️ You should definitely watch The Transporter (the first one) & The Mechanic 2 they are the BEST! Awesome Reaction...

[@clevelandbci9562]

TRUE STORY: Some guys once broke into Dolph Lundgren's house. They assaulted and tied up his wife. When they saw a family picture with him in it, they immediately GTFO.

[@JaHawkey70]

What a seamless transition into your sponsor. A+

[@jimmyzee7040]

Stallone bringing back 1980's action with these 3 Expendables movies.

[@alwayswrite2011]

3:50 - Not ALL his roles. Dolph has had some heroic roles. He-Man in "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" (if you dare to brave it) (1987), Frank Castle in "The Punisher" (1989), Det. Jack Caine in "I Come In Peace" (1990). (That last is listed as "Dark Angel" on his IMDb page.) 4:01 - Look at that. I answered before you asked. 😉 12:21 - You talking about their height, my mind immediately flashed back to junior high. First day of health class, we were supposed to write essays about ourselves. Really cute redhead, in all seriousness, wrote that she's 4'12". 🤣 20:31 - I was looking away when you said you forgot Cruz, and I'm like, "Tom Cruise was in this?!?" I are big brain. 😵‍💫 22:44 - That is a startlingly clean, shiny blade sticking out of his chest. Yeah, people complain about all of these low brow, physically impossible action movies, and I always wonder, "Then why did you watch it? Were you expecting Shakespeare? You must be the kind of person who goes to see 'Mortal Combat' for the Oscar-winning performances, right?" Dummies. And CI... You like the fights here? You should also watch "Reacher" on Amazon. Not as big, but pretty brutal.

[@PrismaticController]

Gotta love modern action films.

[@theairwaybat1830]

I saw this 7 times in the theater, I was blown away by its superior awesomeness

[@AceCorban]

This movie is a ton of fun. The sequels have even more awesome cameos.

[@firekrys]

Yes! I've been waiting for someone in my subscriptions to react to this series. It's a testosterone filled action packed series with a seemingly unlimited pyrotechnics budget, but it's still a fun ride! Everyone gets their moment of fighting. Second movie is great, third one they were trying too hard, but the whole series is a nice way to escape and watch a lot of fighting and explosions.

[@lazzman8230]

Stallones directing style to me really showcases gunfights but sadly not hand to hand fights...which is odd because of his directing of the rocky films was top notch.

[@15blackshirt]

The Extended Director's cut of this is the better version. Toll Road is played by UFC legend Randy"The Natural" Couture, the main villain is played by Eric Roberts, older brother of Julia Roberts and father of Emma Roberts, while Lacey is played by Buffy star Charisma Carpenter and Tool is played by Mickey Rourke. A fourth film is reportedly in development. The martial artists in this are Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Gary Daniels, Antonio Rodrigo and Antonio Rogerio Noguera
