You all know action star Dolph Lundgren for his appearance as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV or perhaps for his role as He-Man in the Masters of the Universe film, but how many of you know about his days as an Engineering student, the years of work it took for him to get from Sweden to the U.S., what it was like for him to go from being unknown to a famous actor almost over night and his almost- career in politics? Not many of you. Plus, we bet even fewer of you know what it was like for him working with Jet Li, Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone on the upcoming movie The Expendables. However, you can find out about all of that right now by watching this eye opening behind-the-scenes interview.

If you thought dioramas were just for little kids, think again. Hasbro is currently hosting a Star Wars: The Clone Wars diorama contest where you can vote for your favorite scene out of the five finalists. Unfortunately, none of the submissions are contained in a shoebox (which I personally believe should have been in the rules) but there's still plenty of nerdy talent!

And no, designing a diorama does not equal playing with dolls. They're action figures, dammit.

Today, on Attack of the Show Kevin and Olivia were joined by Dolph Lundgren. You may recognize him from Rocky IV as Drago and Master of the Universe as He-Man. Dolph stopped by the set to talk about his upcoming movie The Expendables. While in studio he even taught Kevin a few self-defense moves. There was a bit where he was dressed as bear, don't believe us? Check out the behind-the-scene pictures to see for yourself.

Is there a "sad" category to file this blog post under? Because this pitiful, hairless bear from a German zoo would be a perfect fit.

Who knew that without all that fur, bears look just like wrinkly kangaroos...or rats. Hairless squirrels? The exact animal escapes me, but regardless, the lesson has been learned: stop looking at bald bears.

Yet again, we're calling upon you, the fans, for your creativity and giving you the chance to show the world what an artist you are. Yes, Faxathon '09 Live is happening again. Don't ask why it makes sense to do an annual event twice in one year, just ask, "How do I get my faxes on TV?"

Starting at 6:00 PM ET you can submit your faxes to Kevin and Olivia with messages, pictures, whatever and maybe even get them prominently displayed during today's episode! Pretty cool, right?

That's right. Dolph Lundgren is coming to Attack of the Show tonight. Yes, we promised you that he'd be here earlier this week but when a small village in Sweden is under seige by a rogue band of ninjas, SOMEONE has to fly over there and save the day.

So do the right thing. Tune in to G4 tonight at 7:00pm to watch Kevin Pereira get his ass kicked talk to Dolph Lundgren about his directorial debut, Command Performance, his recent birthday celebration and more.

How awesome is this?? An almost exact replica of Doc Brown's DeLorean from Back to the Future is available to purchase over eBay. It's not the actual model used in the totally awesome trilogy, but according to the seller, it's even better!

This car is what you want, a car that looks exactly like what you saw in the film, with all the cool lights, sounds and buttons you thought the car in the film had (but never really did). People are often really disappointed when they see a prop up close. Movie props are designed to be filmed from a distance, but this car truly looks and feels "real" even up close.

Holy crap!! This is mindblowing! There's a bunch of cool stuff about the car that I'd tell you about, but my eyes started to glaze over when I saw all the text.

The seller is hoping someone wants to buy this replica for almost $130,000. Here's where the De-evolution part comes in: some people are dumb enough to spend that much money on a time machine car that doesn't even work.

....Or does it? BRB.

Get excited for tonight's Attack of the Show. Joshua Jackson is stopping by the studio to help solve all the "Pattern" of inexplicable mysteries around the G4 offices, like why our interns keep disappearing or who keeps stealing my lunch from the staff kitchen.

Actually, he'll probably be too busy telling us about the second season of JJ Abram's Fringe and working in yet another successful television series. Check it out tonight, November 4th at 7:00pm on G4.

For those of you who are worried that Olivia Munn has forgotten about signing your copies of Playboy, you can stop panicking. The truth is, getting your copies signed is all she thinks about. To prove it, she requested that AOTB go down to the studio so she could reassure you, the loyal viewers, that when the cameras aren't rolling, she's busy putting her Jane Hancock on each and every one. She loves the fans!
