[edit] 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).

[edit] 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 - ?

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

[edit] 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....

[edit] languages

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

[edit] 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

[edit] 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)
