Van Damme together with his thick accent and unbelievable physique was perceived by some as being the poor-man’s Arnold Schwarzenegger, whereas Lundgren together with his droning voice and menacing look most of the time ended up taking part in villains, most notably reverse Sylvester Stallone within the unforgettable Rocky IV.
