SKIN TRADE star Dolph Lundgren talks about conceiving the idea and writing the movie and how it's changed since he first came up with it, how the fight scenes changed once co-star Tony Jaa (FURIOUS 7) came onboard, and Jaa talks about filming in his home country of Thailand and how real the human trafficking story resonates.
Plus, Lundgren reveals his lasting memories of playing He-Man in MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE and offers his thoughts on who should play the character next.
SKIN TRADE was directed by Ekachai Uekrongtham, written by Gabriel Dowrick, Steven Elder, and Dolph Lundgren, and is available on Ultra VOD and in select theaters.
Also stars Michael Jai White and Ron Perlman.
SYNOPSIS: Two undercover cops, New Jersey Detective NICK CASSIDY (Dolph Lundgren) and Thai detective TONY VITAYKUL (Tony Jaa) are both working the same case on opposite sides of the globe. Their target: to hunt down Viktor Dragovic (Ron Perlman) and destroy his human trafficking network.
Nick mistakenly killed Dragovic's son in a bloody and brutal sting operation on the New Jersey docks, and Dragovic responded by attempting to kill Nick and his family. Nick miraculously survived the brutal attack, but his wife and daughter were killed. Weeks later in Bangkok, Nick resurfaces but he's not the man he was - now he's a monster loose and intent on one thing-revenge. The Thai cops get involved and soon Nick and Tony are partners and fighting for redemption. An epic gun battle ensues with huge casualties on both sides.
Meanwhile, FBI Agent Eddie Reed (Michael Jai White) is sent to bring Nick home; but as the crossfire ensues, Nick has to determine who his true allies are.
