During the fight between the main character and Ivan Drago, actor Dolph Lundgren hit him so hard that he sent him to the hospital.
Sylvester Stallone was hospitalized for four days during the filming of Rocky IV due to a blow from his colleague Dolph Lundgren and even thought he was going to die.
As revealed in a documentary that shows behind the scenes of Rocky IV, the actor said that he left the filming of the fight between Rocky and Ivan Drago seriously damaged. "The first thing we recorded was my entrance, Lundgren's and the introductions. Then I was seriously injured during the fight and I was flown from Canada to intensive care in California," said the movie star.
Along these lines, Stallone continued: "(Lundgren) pulverized me. I didn't feel it at the time, but later that night my heart started to swell. My blood pressure went up to 260 and I was going to be talking to angels. The next thing I remember It's being on this emergency flight, I'm in intensive care surrounded by nuns, and after that I had to go back and finish the fight. "
The punch Lundgren gave him stayed in the movie; "How could I leave that out?" Stallone pointed out.
