Diamond Dogs is a 2007 Canadian-Chinese (American) action film directed by Samuel Dolhasca and uncredited co-directed by Dolph Lundgren, who also starred in the film.[2] The film was released on direct-to-DVD in the United States on April 29, 2008.
The story of Diamond Dogs concerns a group of American fortune hunters who hire a mercenary called Xander Ronson (Lundgren) to act as their guide and bodyguard, while they search for a priceless Buddhist artifact deep within the Chinese wilderness. They get more than they bargained for, however, as they come face to face with Russian mercenaries also after the artifact.[3]

Production
The film was set mostly in Inner Mongolia,[5] from 19 September 2006 and 2 November 2006. The production faced difficult and unanticipated circumstances. Dolph Lundgren stepped up to direct the picture instead of co-producer Shimon Dotan after just a few days into filming.
