He did get accepted to MIT so I believe he's pretty darn smart
Lundgren can Barely even Flipp'in Speak in any Movie the Guy is in.
Don't get me wrong,.. I like a Few of them,... But come on,.. He had to have gotten in because of someone he knew somewhere's.
... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

Lungren is super smart. I read an article about him years ago. He was one of the few chosen in the world to be an international Rhodes scholar. He has always been frustrated to have never been given a chance to do better movies. And Tarantino has always struck me as one of those guys who is so smart that his brain never stops going, which causes him to ramble on. I went to school with a kid who reminds me of him. His IQ was off the charts.

Just because his English is bad doesn't mean he's stupid

People who speak English with a thick accent (from America's point of view) are usually perceived to be unintelligent -- unless they're German ... In a German's case they are usually perceived to be super-intelligent.... Dolf is the ecception to the rule.
Why ?
I'm guessing it's the norm for TV and movies so most people just pick up on it and subconsciously believe it.
In the US (especially years ago) stereotypical "accents" have played a major part as to how the general population views the world...
Russian accent ... usually a drunkin bad guy, but loveable.
Polish ... dumb and many times drunk
French ... womanizer and very snooty
English ... proper, snotty and sometimes homosexual
German ... Nazi or mad scientist
Australian ... lovable cowboy
Spanish ... poor and many times a villian
Asian ... servent or bad guy
Middle East ... very trustworth warrior and honorable (almost like a modern Klingon) ... this has changed since the 1980 hostage crises.
Italy ... womanizer, loves his mama, sometimes a coward but loves his country
These stereotypes are being phased out today, but they're still hiding in the back of many American's brains from years of TV and movie brainwashing.
Maybe they should all get together and build a spaceship or something.....I'm just saying is all.
I have heard before about Woods,Lundgren and tarantino being very smart.
I agree about Tarantino I think his mind is going so fast that he seems like a babling idiot but it is just that his mind is racing.
Lundgren is just type casted as a dufus all the time and that stigma has just followed him.
Woods is a genious.
“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”
or they don't look at Ben as a celefrity since he was a famous "intellectual" before his stardom
for Lundgren they associate his on screen characters with his actual intelligence, which is almost as foolish as assuming someone who plays a Dr on tv can diagnose an illness but for some reason is totally accepted
