AMC has been running a “Rocky” marathon this week. I happened to tune in to “Rocky IV”…in which Stallone gets the crap beaten out of him by Dolph Lundgren (playing the evill Russian boxer). Lundgren is huge! Was he a professional body bulder? Anyway, what happened to him? I remember he married that other oddball (Grace Jones)…are they still together?
And I noticed…the Russians had a Gorbachev look-alike sitting outside the ring-who played the role?
Man, Stallone’s head really jerked when Lundgren hit him with a right hook! -It was pretty realistic (must have hurt quite a bit!)
Looks like he’s been working pretty consistently.
Was engaged to Grace Jones, but married since 1994 (with 2 kids) to a non-actress.
The Russian official was Dominic Barto.
