A mercenary is hired to protect an expedition group while they search for a Tangka, a Buddhist artifact worth millions of dollars. Dolph Lundgren directed a cut of this movie that still has been unreleased and if you wanna see him directing definitely check out 'Command Perfomance' (2009) great flick. Now in terms of 'Diamond Dogs'? It's forgettable and perhaps back in the day? It was an alright and watchable movie but right now it's far from even that small part i'm afraid and now even a good film just meh except Lundgren's part in the main lead..

DIAMOND DOGS, a Canadian production shot in China with a Chinese crew and supporting cast, is Dolph Lundgren's worst movie yet - and that's saying something, given that he's starred in a fair few trashy movies. It's an almost plot less, badly written and atrociously-directed story about a group of treasure seekers searching for an ancient artifact in a forgotten tomb.What this ends up as is a mind-numbing series of three or four jeeps driving around some barren location interspersed with scenes of Lundgren killing some derivative bad guy soldiers. The direction is notably appalling, with so many scenes shot into the sun so that the whole frame is filled with glare and you can't see the actors, and the action is bad even by B-movie standards; there's not one moment of excitement here.Lundgren proves a strong physical presence as always but his character is underwritten as are the rest. Nan Yu as the female lead/love interest comes off the best and it's interesting to note her appearance here after she later teamed up with the star in THE EXPENDABLES 2. Bad guy duties are filled by IN HELL's Raicho Vasilev who has equally little to work with.

diamond dogs is not a rubbish movie it isn't, its just a big step down from dolph's other work of late, it seems like it's not as good as it supposed to be and at times the low budget shows, as a direct to DVD movie its OK stuff and dolph lundgren kicks ass at times, but there was just something about diamond dogs that i found cheesy maybe the movie would of been much better with a bigger budget, but as it stands now it just seems like it wasen't the movie it was supposed to be but what they could do with what they had, there are many worse action movies out there and there are many dolph films that are worse than this but there are also much better ones too, now if you want a solid dolph lundgren action pic watch the mechanik, missionary man, joshua tree, blackjack, silent trigger

Nothing really special here. Dolph Lundgren plays a disgraced Army Officer who hides in Mongolia. he has managed to get himself $20,000 in debt to various people.A saviour arrives in the form of a fortune hunter looking for an ancient tapestry. A group of Russians are also looking for it.Now, you add all this together and it spells lots of gunfire, and a bit of hand to hand combat, and the usual terrible dialog in a cheapo version of Indiana Jones.But, if you like Dolph Lundgren, you won't be disappointed, and isn't that why you are watching?
