Many thanks to my former LA Reader colleague Andy Klein for turning me on to this amazing clip, in which Dolph Lundgren ("Ivan the Russian" from Rocky IV, and star of such deathless flicks as Red Scorpion, The Punisher and Showdown In Little Tokyo drops some serious science before an appreciative audience at Melodiefestivalen 2010. Not only does the man make the most of his one-and-a-half note range on a late-'60s Elvis tune while busting some seriously Young Frankenstein-ian moves with the go-go babes, but he also works out on drums AND demonstrates his martial arts skills. Talk about your all-around entertainers — even Sammy Davis, Jr. couldn't hold a candle to this shit.
