I don't like how they made Dolph lLundgren look like some kind of weirdo


Dolph Lundgren is super buff and super intelligent in real life. Why did they make him act all weird in the Expendables movies?

Since Sylvester Stallone was the main character, maybe it was because Dolph went up against Rock in Rock 4???

they could have him play his more naturally straight self but i think he plays the unstable guy well especially when playing a bad guy anyway as he did for a while in the first movie. and in most of his own movies he usually always plays himself more toned down and "less of a weirdo", so its good to see him change it up again after a while, at least while he is on the big screen for us fans to watch.

anyone who says dolph is one dimensional or can't really act is a fool.

They should remake the expendables in 20 years with the same actors.

Most of them will be too old or dead. Stallone is about 70.

They all look pretty healthy to me... They can save the world again, as old men, lol.

Not so much a weirdo, as they made him more eccentric in this movie and I think it worked. I loved the sequence in the closed in cavern, where Gunner has a theory on how to get them out. The byplay dialogue between Christmas and Barney is hilarious, as Gunner goes about his business.🐭

Wow, I barely remember that scene. You must have a good memory. Expendables 2 was the best movie of the three though.

I hated that the scene was ultimately played for laughs at Gunner's expense. It should have been the pivotal scene in the series that shows why they keep an unstable lunatic around.

he was good in first expendable. one of dolf's best role is sergeant scott in universal soldier. he is a great bad man.

in this film he is reduce to sad old comic relief and bumbling fool.

another problem is this film had too many character. it should just concentrate on stallone, lundgren and statham. other expendables are crap.
