Why is Dolph Lundgren singing Elvis, playing drums and breaking blocks of ice?

I thought about digging up the old YouTube thread, but this really deserves its own:

If I hadn't quit smoking pot in 2002, I'd swear this was a pipe dream ...

 

Saw this on The Soup last night .... outstanding stuff.

 

I figured he was getting in shape for that movie with Mac and Charlie.

 

Oh...

My...

God...

 

If you think that's strange, I give you Mike Tyson on the Italian version of "Dancing With the Stars."

Sorry, but after watching Tyson in The Hangover and Rice-Emmitt-LT in DWTS, that doesn't shock me. A German B-list action "star" singing Elvis while "dancing," though? That's more shocking than a small dog eating a wheel of cheese, then pooping in the fridge!

 

The plot of "Rocky Balboa II": 60-year-old Rocky, Iron Curtain defectee Ivan Drago and Chicago strip-club bouncer Clubber Lang take Vegas by storm with their Elvis stage act.

 

No Thunderlips?

 

Along with the Herman Munster-esque singing and dancing, the best part to me is the self-satisfied smirk Lundgren gives at the end of the song, as if to say:

"Yeah, I know I brought the house down. Let's see Rutger Hauer top that shit!"

 

He'll be playing the standup bass.

 

+1. And don't forget Dennis' contribution.

"Then he smells crime again, he's out busting heads. Then he's back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime, back to the lab, full penetration. Crime, penetration, crime, full penetration, crime, penetration -- And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends."

 

I think the correct answer to this thread is "why not?"
