Strangely enough in Soldier of Orange (His first film) he was the hero, and all he gets to play in the U.S. are creepy "Ayran Superman" Villians....

Good lord, 12 pages of movie recommendations and not a SINGLE ONE of you has recommended "The Godfather" trilogy? I am shocked.

Rutger isn't the Aryan! Dolph's the Aryan!

Come on! He was Ivan Drago! And the last of the Knights Templar in some weird-ass movie I saw on Sci-Fi once! And he was The Punisher, and an Army of One!

Seriously, I think Dolph Lundgren makes a really good case for being The Big Scary Aryan Guy.

So what would happen if Rutger, Dolf, Ah-nuld, Deniro, Chow, Roundtree & Sam Jackson characters all found them selves in a warehouse with lots of money on a table, and they all had lots of guns on them?

For current movies out:

If you haven't seen The Ring, go and do so.

Unless, of course, you're adverse to the following:

-- being freaked out by it (normally I'm not freaked out or jumpy at horror movies, but this one freaked me out quite a bit)
-- having nightmares about it
-- being forced to stand outside "guarding" the bathroom while your spouse/significant other makes a bathroom run in the middle of the night
-- having said spouse/SO try to play a trick on you based on the movie to freak you out, only to freak themselves out even more
-- being nearly scared shitless when you realize the movie isn't over yet
-- realizing that you don't need to know why she's killing people, or how she has the ability to kill people, to be scared of the fact that she's killing people

And to top it all off, they didn't need lots of gore or a ton of special effects to pull it off either

All you young guys with girlfriends, go and see Blue Crush. It is a standard chick flick, but at least they are all wearing bekinis! :P

Why bother seeing the movie? Why ont just ogle the posters for it? The bikinies and the hot chicks are the reason why anyone saw it!

Man, oh man. The lack of culture in kids these days. *Shakes head*.

Go to www.aznfilms.com and look it up. There is the original and a sequel and a prequel. There is also another version of The Ring. It was done in Korea.

Equalibrium- I just saw it yesterday, I loved it. It was kind of slow at times, but alot of things made me think. It has cool fight scenes, and a pretty good plot., but its premise is shakey, I still thought it was a good scifi film.

Imagine Gataca's feel, Feirhiet 451 type story, and the Matrix action scenes, with a few intresting concepts.

I prefer Trigun more as a drama than a comedy, to be honest. Though at times it makes me double over :)

True but it is very, very good.

Another good Manga/Anime title: Gunsmith Cats/Riding Bean
good drama with moments of humour.

Ok, the fact that it's set in Chicago and everybody drives on the left side of the road......

Gunsmith Cats? Why do I think "Dominion Tank Police" every time I hear that title?
