I never got that latter part from from what I've heard. I had a girlfriend who was in MENSA in the early 80s and she NEVER smoked dope, nor indicated anyone in her experience of that group did.

Key words there are "early 80's" AKA "conservative 80's"

Ummon:
I see. <shrugs>

More, somewhat indirectly on Dolph Lundgren. (I've been going through the Rocky series and I just watched IV. Seriously, I think it's a good flick in the set and definitely the peak. I mean, what else can you do?)


Sylvester Stallone has stated that the punching between him and Dolph Lundgren in the first portion of the fight is completely authentic. One particularly forceful punch to Stallone's chest slammed his heart against his breastbone, causing the heart to swell and his breathing to become labored. Stallone, suffering from labored breathing and a blood pressure over 200, was flown from the set in Canada to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and was kept in intensive care for eight days.

Additionally, Stallone claims that Lundgren nearly forced Carl Weathers to quit in the middle of filming the Apollo versus Drago exhibition fight. Lundgren tossed Weathers into the corner of the boxing ring, prompting Weathers to leave the ring and announce that he was quitting and calling his agent.

Maybe a case of the sleeping beast in Lundgren?

It is just as likely a case of movie hype as it is actually true.  If you take a 6-5 guy with that build and tell people half his size to take undefended full force shots to the head from him... eventually someone is going to get injured, yes?
