"I Must Wipe You"
As Dolph Lundgren explains, if you want to be a member of the NASCAR crew you have to be tough, quick, and be able to jump onto the hood of an approaching car. Huh? Of course, this ability is second nature to the action hero who shows off his top three car hood moves and gets some brave hopefuls to demonstrate. Do these two have what it takes? Do you have what it takes? Learn how to be today's action hero with Dolph's "ride on the hood of a car" demonstration - again, probably best not to try this at home. You're welcome.
Don't forget to tune into all-action reality series Race to the Scene, Thursdays at 9p ET/ 9p PT on Reelz. This week, the contestants battle it out on set locations from Terminator 2 and Rush Hour.

Race to the Scene premiered with a bang, literally, as viewers of the exciting new reality series saw three teams of unsuspecting participants tackle a range of puzzles and explosive stunts. As we saw from the start, it was anybody's game throughout the race as a contestant's skills were tested to their limits. Adding relief to the otherwise exciting but tense race, was host Dolph Lundgren, who provided humorous words of encouragement to the tired teams. So, what was it like for the action-star to host the action this time rather than be the action? Dolph talks to us about his experience as well as the toughest stunts he's ever had to complete.

Action star Dolph Lundgren sat down to talk about his newest collaboration with Jean-Claude Van Damme, the action thriller Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, and how movies like Day of Reckoning and Expendables 2 don't work with a PG or PG-13 rating.
The action star also spoke about his upcoming non-scripted Reelz series, Race to the Scene, a show that challenges contestants to recreate stunts from memorable movies. Lundgren particularly addressed the show's intros, and how he's using them as an opportunity to poke fun at other actors, including pal Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"It's not the years...it's the mileage."
Though the novelty of The Expendables' all-star cast of '80s and '90s action heroes wore off somewhat by the time The Expendables 2 hit theaters, the resurgence of aging tough-guy actors continues with the success of Liam Neeson's Taken 2, which beat down the competition this past weekend. And there's more to come. Ah-nuld's getting back in the game with The Last Stand and Bruce Willis is dusting off John McClane for a fifth go-round in A Good Day to Die Hard. But, not all aging actors can continue to pull off the kind of tough-guy roles they played in their youth. Tell us which over-50 actors still have what it takes to beat up the bad guys and come back for more.

One of the hallmarks of he-man action movies of the '80s and '90s is the one-liner, that sometimes cheesy, often awesome, but definitely memorable signature line, typically delivered just before or immediately after a knock-down, drag-out fight between the hero and the villain (or one of the villain's many henchmen). It's hard to say exactly when the one-liner became a necessary fixture of action movies, but we'll give the credit (or blame, depending upon your point of view) to Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose movies have generated so many classic zingers that they're too numerous to mention. The practice was so common by 1991, in fact, that the Bruce Willis-led action movie The Last Boy Scout ends with Willis' character telling his new sidekick (Damon Wayans), "This is the '90s. You can't just walk up and slap a guy, you have to say something cool first."
With so many veteran action stars appearing in The Expendables 2 — exploding onto movie screens nationwide today! — we thought it would be fun to look back at some of the awesome one-liners delivered by various cast members in some of their more iconic roles.

Any movie fan worth his or her salt should be able to tell you that Swedish man-mountain Dolph Lundgren's break-out performance as an actor was his portrayal of the Russian boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. But, what most people don't know is that Lundgren actually studied to be a chemical engineer until his friendship with singer-actress Grace Jones and a chance encounter with celebrated artist Andy Warhol propelled him into show business. In a recent appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Lundgren discussed his unusual entrée into acting, his latest movie, The Expendables 2, and his new non-scripted Reelz series debuting next spring, Race to the Scene, in which pairs of contestants race to and from actual movie locations as they compete in challenges and stunts inspired by memorable movie moments.
Big stunts, bigger action Coming in Spring 2013

2010's The Expendables saw Sylvester Stallone and his crew of new and established action stars overthrow a ruthless South American dictator, but this weekend's The Expendables 2 is a more personal story, with Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Terry Crews, and Randy Couture back to seek revenge on a fallen comrade. As for what to expect, Lundgren told Hollywood Dailies that, in general, the sequel is "bigger."
The first one was big, this one is just bigger. Bigger stunts, more cars and planes and boats and guns and explosions and more stars.
This time, the Expendables adds Liam Hemsworth and Yu Nan to the group, while Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis add extra firepower to the expanded cast. In an attempt to take down villain Jean-Claude Van Damme, they all come together in a small Bulgarian airport and leave no stone unturned. "I think there's none left," Lundgren said of the location.
