To continue with our Rocky IV love-fest, some of the very fine reasons why Dolph Lungdren’s moving portrayal of Russian boxing robot Ivan Drago should stand alongside other great performances of the 1980s.

Ben Kingsley as Gandhi? Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko? Daniel Day Lewis as Christy Brown? Have a word. Dolph’s the man. Just look at the lines he gives such gravitas to in the movie:

“You will lose”
“I must break you”
“If he dies, he dies”
“I cannot be defeated”
“I fight for me! FOR ME!”

Now try and picture anyone else IN THE WORLD trying to say any of them. Doesn't work, does it?

Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of YouTube, instant Drago gratification is available. And thanks to the fact that we've rounded said clips up, you don't even have to go hunting. So settle down: it's Ivan time...
