The Expendables movies did have a long list of actors, which had Sylvester Stallone leading the team. However, the shooting of the film did have some altercations as one of the stars came to blows with Sylvester Stallone on-set. Dolph Lundgren, who played Gunner Jensen in the trilogy, recalled how Stallone’s “harsh” behaviour on the set made him infuriated and made him almost punch him.
Directed by Stallone, The Expendables’ first movie was released in 2010 and brought together an all-star team of big-screen action heroes, including such luminaries as Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke and, in an uncredited cameo, Arnold Schwarzenegger. While the movie was well received by the audiences and the box office, an entire Expendables franchise was launched, with sequels coming in 2012 and 2014.
Dolph Lundgren looked back on his life and career on an episode of “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” and discussed his lengthy action movie career, including collaborating with The Expendables star Sylvester Stallone numerous times over the years. While admitting his family-like friendship with Stallone, he “had some good times and bad times.” Recalling an incident in the original Expendables film in 2010, he almost got into a physical altercation with the star and director as he was “harsh” on him while filming.
