From Dolph Lundgren and the producer of Vampire Trailer Park comes Command Performance, which bills itself as “Die Hard at a Rock Concert.”  Lundgren directs, stars, does his own stunts and drumming, and in the teaser above, delivers the tagline: “Dying is easy, rock n roll is hard.”

He goes on to prove his own thesis in the extended promo video below by sounding like Nickelback’s first day with a wah-wah pedal.  Its poor inventor is probably rolling over in his grave right now.  That inventor being of course Professor Phineas T. Wahwah.

Dolph Lundgren (aka Ivan Drago, aka He-Man) is planning to star and direct Command Performance, an "action thriller" he describes as "Die Hard at a rock concert."

Lundgren will play the drummer in the warm-up band for a big American act performing for the Russian premier. Naturally, the bad guys break up the show. And just as naturally, the drummer is an ex-Marine.

"I got the idea from Madonna," said Lundgren, who wrote the script with Steve Latshaw. [Ed. Note – Producer of Vampire Trailer Park.  Seriously.] "She did a concert for (outgoing Russian President Vladimir) Putin a few years ago."

Of course, Madonna battled menopause, rather than terrorists.  Lundgren who’s 50 now, plans to do all his own stunts, and his own drumming.

Lundgren, a one-time karate champ who was discovered modeling in New York, burst onto the international stage in 1985 sparring opposite Sylvester Stallone in "Rocky IV." While his Hollywood star dimmed during the ’90s, he makes movies that are seldom seen in the U.S. but pack ‘em in around the world.

And of course he returned to prominence after appearing in a popular reality show in which he boned Flava Flav.
