 In 1998 , he appeared in Jean @-@ Marc Piché 's action / supernatural horror film The Minion alongside Françoise Robertson Lundgren portrays Lukas Sadorov , a middle eastern templar and member of an order who are charged with guarding the gateway to Hell that , if opened , will unleash all evil . The only thing that can open it is a key which is sought for by the Minion , a demonic spirit that transfers itself into the nearby host body when his previous one is killed off . Awakening in New York City , the Minion tracks down Karen Goodleaf as Lukas arrives to America to protect her and the key . Michael Haag in his book Templars : History and Myth : From Solomon 's Temple to the Freemasons ( 2009 ) said , " The budget for this film was $ 12 million . A pity they did not spend a cent on research ( citing that one reference was 600 years out ) . Dolph Lundgren is a butt @-@ kicking Templar monk with a spiked leather glove whose sacred duty it is to do what the Templars have always done and stop a key that has kept the Anti @-@ christ imprisoned for thousands of years from falling into the right hands . " . The DVD and Video Guide of 2005 described the film as being " possibly one of the worst films ever " .
