Dolph Lundgren Is the True Eye of the Tiger
The insane odyssey that Dolph Lundgren has been on since his amazing Elvis/drum solo/karate tour de force appears to have ended, not with a bang, not with a whimper, but Dolph Lundgren coming out in boxing robes and singing “Eye of the Tiger.” I assume the only reason the world did not crack in two at the sheer awesomeness is because Dolph didn’t sing it solo, but with the contestants of whatever crazy Swedish talent show this has all been part of. However, Dolph does join a group of cheerleaders for a second (FYI I’ve seen actual cheerleader-themed hardcore pornography that was less suggestive than their routine) so that’s fun. Oh, and Sylvester Stallone sent a video congratulations to Dolph for whatever the hell it is he’s been doing. It’s very kind of Sly, especially given the fact his face seems to be melting. As always, thanks to Tomb for the tips.
