The
Postman (1997)
For his second directed feature
The Postman (1997), Kevin Costner used footage
featuring Dolph Lundgren in Universal Soldier.
In this movie set in 2013, Costner's character is a survivor
in a wasteland future, taken against his will in military camp
as a slave-soldier where they're projected movies like The
Sound Of Music, starring Julie Andrews, or...Dolph
Lundgren's Universal Soldier! The "audience"
gets mad and throw stones when they see explosions and Dolph
blowing up with his machine gun. And Costner says "These
were supposed to be the best years of my life."
The problem is that we can't
figure out if Costner used that footage by friendship or compasion
for Dolph, who doesn't really make it in Hollywood today, or
if he doesn't like Lundgren. Unfortunately this used footage
shows how Dolph Lundgren films are averagely perceived because
people don't know them: as dumb violent action movies, which
they're not.
