Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables.

[hitmanyr2k]

2 hardcore action movies, nowhere near the level of Stallone, Arnie, Willis, etc.

IMHO Snipes would not fit in with the rest of the cast, keep him out of the franchise all together

only person I see missing from all of this is JCVD

That shouldn't even be a criteria though. They're going for star power and guys who have proven they can handle action. How many hardcore action movies has Eric Roberts, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Mickey Rourke, or Terry Crews made? Practically none lol. Snipes could take the place of any of those guys easily.

And Van Damme is a joke. Always has been, always will be. I think he saved this movie by opting out. Seagal too.

When the picture was coming together, Sly hoped on Aintitcool, and said he belives Randy is the next action star. That's why he's in it.

I remember watching Randy in The Scopion King 2. He can't act any better than that invisible scopion.

Sadly the days of the macho tough action star are long gone, my hopes for high for Dwayne Johnson when he did Walking Tall but todays movie audience tastes have changed.

And Randy Coutre doesn't have screen presence, he's just a meathead.

 

[Mace Dolex]

You know I wonder since most of us here love the old school action stars what do the younger crowds think when looking at these old fogeys? I mean to the kids these day they're action role models are probably the wimps from Twilight.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

you can tell by the way most kids these days dress and look who their "role models" are.

Most of the kids around here look like former Beatles members (not that there's anything wrong with the Beatles, LOVE the Beatles) there's just no masculinity in younger males today. They all look weak and feable, so I'm left to believe, yes, they worship the Zack Effron's and Twilight stars

I just want to punch most of today's youth

 

[I'm Old Greg]

the cast of Expendables should have been in Predators..

 

[Sarg92]

Has the rating for this film been confirmed?

Jonathan Ross said that he saw the film with his son and that he said if he was 12 years old then he would have thought it was the best film in the world.

So is this film gonna have a PG-13 rating?

It's rated R in the trailers.

as has been mentioned, Snipes was unable to leave the country due to his legal issues and he also has a bad reputation for being difficult to work with

and Snipes is looking at 3 years in prison

 

[Mace Dolex]

You know what would be great for a sequel if Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Christian Bale, Keanu Reeves and Nicolas Cage who've all done some action films in their careers stepped up to the plate.

It would be a battle between the steroid induced meatheads vs. the average build guys.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

Bale, Reeves, and Cage I'll accept

HELL TO THE NO regarding Cruise and Smith

I know. I was just speaking hypothetically. If Snipes were available he could easily replace many guys in this cast. Anyone have any idea what his relationship was with Stallone while filming Demolition Man?

Good enough for Sly to ask him to do The Expendables.

Bale, Reeves, and Cage I'll accept

HELL TO THE NO regarding Cruise and Smith

Replace Cruise with Liam Neeson and Smith with Michael Beihn or Kurt Russell.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

Replace Cruise with Liam Neeson and Smith with Michael Beihn or Kurt Russell.

There you go

 

[dude stannis]

"The Expendables" is the first film in history in which a good guy goes up to an on-fire bad guy and punches him in the face.

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

now that's just full of win

*sigh*. Ya know to judge the way people dress & look in regards to who their "Heroes" are on film is not only stupid but it's making you look like the immature youth. People don't have to dress in wife beaters & 80's jeans up to their chests to be tough or to like an Arnie movie. I'm a metrosexual, I like skinny jeans, fashionable V neck tops & light pink shirts, weird Justin Timberlake type hats & yet I know how to knock a mother****** out. I'm a trained & skilled 2nd dan black belt in Tang Soo Do & have been training since I was 5. I also played alot of football & broken a few bones. Now I don't mind Twilight, nor do I mind Zach Efron. he's a tool on screen, but I don't know the guy personally. point being that your ignorant & as for your last quote, if you tried to punch me, you'd be dropped, plain & simple. So think before you judge people.

hit a little close to home did I?

sorry you got butt hurt over that

and you claiming to beable to drop me, look who's judging now, you have no clue of my physical shape or fighting skills

I'd just drop it before you make yourself out to look like more of a tool

Now who's getting so defensive? LOL. Hit a little close to home did I?. What a tool. Truth is your probably, what? 40 years old, roughly?. Your life is over, no one cares about your, "Thing's were better in my day" schtick. It's pathetic & reaching. Just let it go, stop trying to recapture your youth by putting others, like me who have so much to look forward to, down. Also I could care less about your physical stature, this isn't a Rocky movie where big muscles win. this is real life, where if you got a big mouth, you get dropped & you got a big mouth. Now **** & go back to taking roids you action movie wannabe.

dude, you're a moron, just from reading your first sentence and wrong assumption I can deduce that much

now don't ruin a good thread because you've got an attitude

Wrong. In "Army of One" Lundgren did the same.

 

[BlackLantern]

you will all get Time Out if you don't knock it off

 

[dude stannis]

Actually Dolph mule kicks the bad guy in Army of One.
