TOThe Turin Film Festival, among the many stars who illuminated the Teatro Regio, Dolph Lundgren was there toowho in an interview given to Ansa spoke about theimpact of his iconic line in Rocky IV, which has become an indelible mark of pop culture.
«When I was 28 and recited that line, it was only one of fifteen in the film. I had no idea that I would repeat it for the next forty years“, said theSwedish actor.
Lundgren clarified that phrase made famous in Italy as “Ti spazzo in due” derives from the original “I must break you”: «It is not a personal attack: Ivan Drago acts on behalf of the Soviet state. It’s ‘I have to break you», because the system imposes it on him».
The actor added, smiling, that “many performers recite Shakespeare without leaving a memorable line”, while he has one that the audience never forgets, reminding us how a single moment can mark an entire career.
