First official photo from THE EXPENDABLES features Eric Roberts, Stone Cold Steve Austin and a giant 'Splosion!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We had some snuck pics of Sly running around during the first few days of shooting on THE EXPENDABLES, the most '80s sounding fun as shit blow-em-up we've seen since that glorious decade.
So, naturally the first officially released image from the production stars a giant explosion, with Eric Roberts and Stone Cold Steve Austin flying through the air. How could it not, I ask you? Of course, this is the first official thing we see from this flick.
And are Stone Cold Steve Austin and Eric Roberts holding hands on their way through the air? Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course... Maybe this is where Stallone shows his heart, his soft side? Make sure to click to get the high-res version!
As gut-ripping fun as RAMBO was, I'm expecting Stallone to turn this one up to 111. What about you?

We were all expecting some wooden acting from this cast...

...but those two look like have they rigor mortis in that photo.

putting the stunner on some phantom opponent mid-air? maybe he is?
-
that is all.

-always a good thing.

Yeeehaw!
-
...being fired off that pneumatic air trampoline cannon thingie. Now they just need to cut it from four different angles and again in slo-mo and we're set.
-
10.
getting the final one is the hard part. -
Holding hands?
-
just saying. Thank you Sly.
-
More please.

The most kick-ass PG-13 movie I've ever seen was Transformers, with Live Free or Die Hard a distant second. Very distant. Expendables need R-blood in its PG-13 veins. I need cussin'. I need people splattered by combat shotguns. I need sex scenes. Basically, I need 300, but in the present day, and far, far less dudity.

No Quint, they're not holding hands
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
But perhaps they should be. After The Transporter (you know it's true - despite the lies of the third movie), perhaps gay action heroes is where it's at!
-
Eric Robert's hair and Eric was batting his hand away.
-
I like how they photoshopped only the bottom portion of the ladder in the photo.
-
....he's just mopping up all the jizz first!
-
Look at the bottom of ladder. But why?
-
..by mymavra.com isn't. More nuclear than nukethefridge, cooler than aintitcool and topped with more slices of Bale than aintitbale...mymavra.com is where it's all goin' on!
-
...that's going to sting.
-
Fifty Cents was using it to try to climb back into the movie so they had to erase him from the photo. :o)
-
Eric Roberts is finally working again! Nice!
-
when this baby hits the screen? Gonna be fun fun fun.
-
That was what they called TRUE LIES back in 1994. That will be said of this film as well:) This movie looks to match the RAMBO movies, CLIFFHANGER, DEMOLITION MAN etc. for Sly!!!
-
score this fucker with a cheesy 80's synth soundtrack. Then sly should hire a hair metal band to give us a monumental rock power ballad over the closing credits. even better - he should get his bro, Frank Stallone, to write and perform a song - a la rambo 2, 'peace in our lifetime'. also, all sound effects should be loud and unsubtle - stock sound effects magnum gun shots, and hugely exagerrated fisticuffs sounds.and the home release of this sucker should be on sctachy old vhs only - no dvd. hell yeah, it should be on betamax only!
-
holding hands with a man.. WHAT! explodin' .. WHAT! gonna land on some hard concrete... WHAT! fly right into the Smack Down Hotel... WHAT! check into room 3:16.. WHAT!...and burn the son of a bitch to the ground!... WHAT!!!
-
this needs the typical 80s action movie score - lots of obligatory echoey sax and feedbacky guitar - and speedboats with garishly bad paint jobs - i hope there are speed boats - i watched true lies again last night - it was on tv - i cant believe i liked it at one time - lame - horse chasing motorcycle - like the line in adaptation - "technology vs horse" - the best thing in it is jamie lee curtis and her striptease - god damn

Does someone have a link that confirms this?

Sorry
-
This will probably be 1 part stupid, 1 part funny, and about 8 parts awesome.
Makes it multiple heads above most everything else in production right now. -
BEcause temperature wise that's not very hot. A good setting for a jacuzzi really. Or did he mean 111%. That's an odd percentage.

It looks like Eric and Steve are holding hands by their...
by leafar the lost
...fingertips. I guess they cried like schoolgirls when the explosions went off before they were ready. I know Eric Roberts has some acting talent. He is an above average actor. He isn't a great actor/actress like his sister, but Eric has shown the ability to deliver a few believable lines. What Eric can't do is carry a movie. He will never be a lead actor, and he is lucky that he keeps getting work. Maybe Eric can pull out a Mickey Rourke type performance in a small, independent movie. I think his best work was in the two Mariah Carrey videos that he was in. He didn't have any lines, so it forced him to just use facial expressions to convey what his character was feeling. I also want to bang Mariah Carrey. She has some of the best breast implants ever.
-
Banging normal chicks. WHAT?
-
Famous last words from Bruce "Shill" Willis on Die Flaccid 4.
-
it looks like that eric roberts isnt part of the mercenaries team,but plays some kind of politician,who in this pic,is saved by stone cold just before something is explosed.
i though roberts was a kick-ass mercenary too.or am i wrong?
-
Brian Bozworth would have killed in this film.
-
It looks like Eric Roberts is getting pushed into a pool by a kid or something. "Oh geez" He cries! "new suit!" shitty deflated fireball, too.
-
get a fucking life. i can't stand how people think this is going to blow tarantinos film out of the water. They are different fucking stories, get over it.

What I want to see is the first picture of STALLONE & SCHWARZENEGGER on set and in action. I just want the Arnold cameo to be something fans will leave the theater remembering and talking about. If Arnie is to be just a cameo in this, his role should be memorable in a film filled with muscle bound he-men. "YOU'RE ONE UGLY MOTHER FUCKER" --Dutch in PREDATOR-- Come on Sly, give Schwarzenegger one helleva cameo role for the ages! Otherwise, why do it???!!!
-
I'd like to refer you to a little film called "The Pope of Greenwich Village". Funny, I've ALWAYS thought Eric was the talented one, and Julia just played herself over and over. Whenever she tries to stretch (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Duplicity), she can't quite pull it off, in my opinion. She just can't sell me on it. Ooh, she's dangerous, she's edgy-oh wait, it's Julia 'Cotton Candy' Roberts.
-
Gives me a huge '80s boner. Like a boner with a rubik's cube at the end.
-
Do not bother putting a score on this thing. This needs a sweet soundtrack. I suggest Frank Stallone, Stan Bush, and Survivor. Maybe even Robert Tepper if he's still alive. Awesome. And thanks.
-
Is it just me or do his teeth look like some sort of Halloween monster kit in that picture? I'm usually not a 'Lol, you don't have 50k teeth' kind of poster, but some of those look damn near sideways.
-

-
Have no fear, it'll be old school.This movie will make your balls grow 3 sizes.
-
Also, what's with all the comparisons between this and Inglourious Basterds? I mean, I know that smarmy little dickshits have to squeeze in a "Fuck Tarantino" wherever they can, but the only similarity between the films is the genre, so let's save useless unwarranted negativity for when it's relevant, k?
-
Studios should have choice of PG or R. That end this middle of the raod bullshit. Either it's PG for the kids or R for the adults.

There's already too much parody, sarcasm and irony these days!
by kevred
And I, for one, am sick of it. It seems like there's not one decent movie or TV show that can avoid winking slyly at you, deflating its credibility to avoid seeming...what?This age of self-referential irony makes me sick. If this film plays it 100% straight, then great.
-
Further proof that the internet is devolving the English language (sigh) - God knows what this movie will be like, though...
-
That could just make up the action for the whole damn film.
-
"If this film plays it 100% straight, then great."
I for one would enjoy a movie about a bunch of macho mo's acting all military. -
PG-13 can do an awful lot these days, but add me to the list of those hoping for R. It's not that I want extreme carnage or anything, but there's a sort of "invisible safety net" with less-than-R ratings that makes everything feel too safe. Tough, grizzled killers should be able to fully curse and be raw. More than losing any particular graphic stuff, it's that subtle softening that weakens a PG-13 movie.I have the feeling that with this film, the better the cast gets, the more likely a PG-13 is, because the more marketable it becomes. If it was just Sly and Dolph, well, the spotlight wouldn't be so bright. But keep adding the good names--even if, individually, they might not be so special from a marketing standpoint, together they add up to headline news.But look at the past: Matrix, 300, Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, Aliens, Wedding Crashers...heck, even Rain Man and Beverly Hills Cop were R-rated. There's no barrier to commercial success with an R rating.Seems to me that unless they have Expendables lunch boxes and action figures in mind, there's not much benefit in PG-13.Who knows, maybe there are valid marketing angles. But I can't think of any that wouldn't weaken its value long-term among the long-term audience.
-
Straight doesn't have to always mean straight. But if any of these characters are gay, I still want them to be serious and non-self-referential! :)
-
I'm not sure myself, but my guess would be the somewhat confusable titles of the flicks (early on, I got them a little mixed up), the vaguely similar scenarios (ragtag bunch of misfits join up to go on mission and take out big baddie), the chatter about all-star tough-guy casts that led up to each one (though Basterds really ending up deflating in that area), and the intent of both to be tough, rough, in-your-face action flicks.Of course the collected nerds here (myself included) always have our ideals about how these flicks should turn out, but it'd be kind of a shame if both of them missed the mark--Basterds, with an unimpressive cast and overly sadistic violence, and Expendables with PG-13 softening.From what I've seen here, it seems like somewhere in the middle--80s Stallone & Arnold flicks anyone?--is where most people want these films to go.
-
my excitement level has gone down knowing that this might be a pg 13
-
i need a gratuitous lap dancing club scene and a lot of swearing and blood with the word "motherfucker" flying about occasionally.

Since I first heard about that movie I was like: "OMFG! This will be the best action-flick ever!" Now I read its going to be PG 13??? PG 13??? Is Sly out of his goddamn mind? Fuck him. Not gonna watch this kiddie-flick. AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE...
-
I wanna see Harry get all weepy for that one.
-
and tombstone Austin.
-
i thought u guys u were joking,but from what i see the rumours are correct.
WHAT THE FUCK SLY?
we supported and applauded u, for making rambo 4 hard r-rated,and now that your career is on hot track again,u give us the finger and make a pg13 in order to earn more money?
thats how u treat your fans? then fuck you.go join your faggot pal bruce wills with his pg13 die hard 4.
as always its all about the money -
...but I do hope that he takes this further (like he did RAMBO) and doesn't make this EXACTLY like an 80's action flick...I mean that shot could come directly from an episode of T.J. Hooker...I'm not twelve anymore. Make it good Mr. Stallone.
-
I am sure AICN wont do anything about posting till after 2 weeks then its new news to them..
All of you geeks know who this was...
So sad... -
You pussies that keep screaming at the PG-13 rating over and over and over each EXPENDABLES update at AICN should pack up and get THE FUCK OFF THE AICN website!
-
...where every scene ends with the characters escaping/jumping away from some kind of explosion. Maybe X-Men Origins: Nightcrawler.
-
Why and the world would they make it PG-13. The geriatrics won't watch it beacuse it'll be wimped down, and the Gen Y ADD texting metros won't watch it because it'll be too tough.

-
...running the obstacle course.
-
Well... that sucks to say the least. I too believed this was just a rumour, but if Sly himself said it wouldn't be a bloodfest... People who claim how hard a PG-13 can be nowadays make me laugh. Yes, you can push the envelope with PG-13 with disturbing images and atmosphere, eventually psychological violence (always thought the scene where Philip Seymour Hoffman threatens Cruise's wife and counts to 10 in M:I-3 was really hard for a PG-13) but I have never seen a PG-13 graphically violent action movie. You all know that PG-13 means there won't be any vicious, bloody fights, and there sure as hell won't be any graphic shootings with blood splashing all over the place... Let's make it really simple: 80s/90s ACTION = EXIT WOUNDS and BLOODPACKS. Fuck CGI blood, and fuck the quick cuts. Sly, get real. 13-year-old kids won't go watch your movie so why make it PG-13? We, the kids of the eighties, the teens of nineties are the ones who will go watch your goddamn movie. I thought you'd get that. GIVE US SOME BLOOD. GIVE US SOME BONECRACKING ACTION. GIVE US SOME BRAZILIAN BOOBS !

This is the film every kid who grew up loving action flicks dreamed of. Playground fights, with heated discussion and fury ensued.
Please Vern, write a book on Jean Claude Van Damme!(cause if you don't, I will) Segalology still makes me wet my pants, it's been the "Jerry Horror book of the month club book, for 34 months straight"! Talkbackers, film nerds...hit me up at www.myspace.com/jerryhorror

than this film getting an R Rating would be if Dio scored the entire soundtrack.
-
and I don't do this tye of work....
-
is getting an R rating. despite the eulogising that sly gets. His fans will go to this. but will anyone else. jet li is a great action star. but the rest stone cold steve austin??? the stath??? dolph lundgren??? and eric roberts??? this will spend one week in the cinema before going to dvd. all depends on the story. Clifhanger was the best stallone movie that I saw in the cinema. Pacino and denior are two of the most overhyped actors of thier generations. Their 2nd movie together Righteous kill was awful. but I would pay money to see, even for a second Arnie and sly together on screen. then leave the cinema.

and i used you to get the job done, got it?

the CIA got yoo pushing too many pencils? now, vat eez dis fucking tie business?buncha slack jawed faggots round here! this stuff'll make ya a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me!
-
All black and white footage from when Eric Roberts was in the movie "Best of the Best"... ( Pony-tail and all ) And from when the Rattle Snake use ta wrassle. Fade to Black and Open up with "Welcome to the Jungle" wailing over the explosions. All In slo-mo, Then as they swim to safety, a few one-liners between the two should be added, Such as "That was Hot!" Or "That really Burns me up!"
Then Stallone's character would walk up wearing a wife beater, a Tam and a great amount of Man grease....(For his muscles of course) and say....
"When you two homo's are done holding hands and running from explosions in slo-mo as Welcome to the Jungle plays overhead...I gotta Job for you!"
-
with a freeze frame with all the surviving expendables giving a thumbs up sign and sporting shit eating grins! yeah baby, mission accomplished!
-
where stallone's character woos the female lead (charisma carpenter, I think?)with his slick moves on the dance floor."You look like a real take charge guy""Baby, how'd you know my middle name?"cut to tame sex scene that quickly fades to black over the sounds of seductive 80's saxophone.

TedKordLives, Mickey Rourke was the star of "The Pope of...
by leafar the lost
...Greenwich Village," not Eric Roberts. I did see it, which why I said he had some talent. However, like Rourke, he pissed it all away. Unlike Rourke, Roberts isn't going to have a career resurrection. He had his chances at stardom, but he just didn't click. Maybe he was too much of an asshole, and he got that difficult to work with label. Julia Roberts is a star. I am not a fan of her work, but even I have paid money to see her movies.
-
Ok, you got me there. But yeah, Eric Roberts was awesome in it. See, we don't have to be rabid badgers on this site. But I still maintain that Eric is the more talented of the two.
-
Single-handedly. Subtrack "dweem doom derrrm" from almost any 80s film and you are left with a nearly Kubrickian masterwork of film. An advisor to Michael Mann actually saved his career by giving him that one piece of advice. If it's electronic and it's a drum, Mr Mann, avoid it. Sage advice. Now look at his career.
-
Harry Kalas. Unbelievable, reedy, timeless voice, the voice that makes all the saccharine, hyperbolic, nostalgic reverence we're all supposed to feel toward "America's Pastime" ring true and eternal, at least when you're driving home from a 16 hour day, through the rain, feeling like shit that you scewed something up at work, hating your boss for being a dick about it, and you manage to pick up his voice through the crackle and squeal of the AM dial. "Outta here" indeed. The Phillies - and all of baseball- won't be the same.

-
Anti-modern action fans were stoked about that one for its lack of irony, too. How'd that turn out? Oh yeah: "it sounded like a good idea at the time."
-
Why do we compare this to Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds? Because for years, the story was that Tarantino's flick was going to be full of badass action stars like Bruce Willis, Stallone, Jackson, Roth, Madsen, maybe the Governator, and action-oriented roles for Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy. And instead he gave us a bunch of similar-looking, small Jews. Which was a disappointment to everyone who had already created the movie in their heads. But then Stallone comes in and saves the day, making the ball-out action flick we all thought Tarantino was going to make, casting himself, Lundgren, Jet Li, Statham, Roberts, Stone Cold, maybe the Governator, etc... Seems like Stallone is making the movie we all hoped Tarantino would be making, which by the looks of the last trailer, is not as promising as we hoped.

by dannyglovers_dickblood
Brad Pitt, dude from The Office, Eli Roth, shit photography, laughable dialogue, Tarantino's involvement = OBSERVE AND REPORT BOX OFFICE
-
but you probably could have guessed that. I mean the 80s were the 80s, you can't go back and uncheesify them. And who'd want to? They rocked. I mean there was a short time during the 90s when people had some style. I think it revolved around Uma Thurman's vamp nail polish. But style has been severely lacking for over a decade. It's one thing if the style is goofy, but to have no style at all? That's probably why the world is in the toilet.
-
Did anybody even see THE DARK KNIGHT? His facial expressions during the scene where Joker crashes the mob meeting alone were worth the price of admission!
-
You know all you Mofos are also. QT fucked around with his casting choices and Stallone will make him his bitch at 62.

you all can scream "it doesn't matter if it's PG-13" all
by vaudeville villain
you want, but that won't change the fact that this movie will eat llama dicks as a result. seriously, who the fuck are they marketing this to? the 'Twilight' crowd?'
we're talking STALLONE, STATHAM, DOLPH (if he's even still in this), LI, ROURKE, the damn GOVERNATOR et. al... what else is there for a collection of '80s era throwback-mofos to do other than kick ass, curse (loud and often), blow shit up, and fuck a Brazilian tranny or two?
if they don't go all they way with this, i'll have to pass... i'm tired of this half-stepping, watered down bullshit. let's leave that for 'Highschool Musical 4: the Pedo Years.' -
We need more Brazilian tranny fucking!
-
Regardless of what some of you folks are saying. In order for this movie to fulfill the high anticipation we the geek community have for it, it needs to be R. Do you remember some of the earlier talkbacks about this movie? People had crazy ass ideas like Li kicking peoples heads off. I also believe one person said that if Li and Lundgren were to fight onscreen, the universe would explode. With PG-13, we're going to get little blood, maybe one use of fuck in dialogue, and just an overall lamer film for what they're trying to accomplish. We want Rambo, we're going to get Mr. and Mrs. Smith
-
I saw that link provided up above, but it looked fucking fake to me.
-
"They speculate that Trejo will play one of the South American goons that Stallone, Statham, Rourke, Li, Lundgren and Co. will set out to destroy in utterly profane PG-13 fashion."But where the fuck is the proof?
-
Cuz here they come ... the Expendables!!!!!
-
RAMBO cost about 50million With promo etc...and even then Only grossed 43million$ in the U.s.
expendables is 60million$ without even taking into account Promo from lionsgate....id hate to see the film do poorly because of a few blood-thirsty geeks...but then again...with a cast like this maybe sly could get away with an R-rating and still have a big hit...if not, we can still have an unrated version on DVD! -
But you can't see him cuz he one fast mofo.

He's gonna reach the ground before Eric Roberts. Laws of physics and shit.

ONLY ONE THING MAKES MY DICK HARDER THAN THE EXPENDABLES

His war film will never be THE EXPENDABLES! He knows this and probably won't be able to show his face and make a comment. I mean, Brad Pitt is the only great star in the film. Pitt is a macho dude but with Sly and Jet Li alone, THE EXPENDABLES is better. Then when you throw in Schwarzenegger, Lundgren, Statham etc...INGLORIOUS BASTERDS is a movie for the SEX IN THE CITY crowd. IB is rated R but the PG-13 THE EXPENDABLES is going to make it look like a female movie.
-
Are you smoking crack again, AB?
-
Not the one I saw, bc I haven't seen ANY of them, but the one whose picture I saw in the recent Entertainment Weekly. You know, the one where she was dressed as a Catholic schoolgirl. Mmmmmmhm.
-
I'm smoking a opening day ticket to THE EXPENDABLES.
-
What?
-
cast list that is updated?
-
All this talk of "if this film is PG-13 I will not see it"...stop acting like fucking babies and grow the fuck UP. You dip-shits can scream I WILL NOT SEE this movie now if it is PG-13...but all you sorry cunts know you will happily give Sly $100 worth of your money and time when you see the film 5 times in theaters. THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS crowd will come out for this next APRIL and make this into a smash hit! And yeah, once QT didn't cast SLY, BRUCE and ARNOLD in IB, that film lost several points.
-
I just wish it was R rated and hardcore as all fuck. Hell, I saw Live Free Or Die Hard opening weekend despite being extremely pissed off about the PG-13.
-
I wonder what kind of 5 foot nothin, shit-cutter you must look like to consider someone like Bale to be a "MACHO DUDE." I've been in 2 fights in my life, but I'm fairly certain I could tear Bale's fucking face off with ease.
-
I suppose when I typed the word MACHO-- images of Bale flashed in my head and I accidentally said BALE instead of PITT. You get the point.

This movie requires a catchy theme music playing throughout, fast during the action scenes, and slower acoustic versions during the lighter scenes.
People sat up when the Rambo theme started playing, Expendables must set the stage for theme music to be played in possible sequels! -
I ve been a fan of Tarantino, but i think he has been very uneven for a while now. No matter what i cant seem to get excited about IB. Has anyone here read the script? If so, whats it like? Objectively speaking (please dont answer me if you just hate QT regardless) And I was massively dissapointed by QT not casting Stallone, van damme, Arnie etc...But i dont really know much about this movie (expendables) and Stallone's (im a fan, so please dont kill me)is hit and miss. Plus he has a habit of making come backs and then self-imploding...

and simple like Rambo 4 :)

What I hope is that this movie DOES NOT have the generic style moving opening. You know, animated credits flashing by in a "cool" way in front of a montage of CG effects, MTV style.
I would love a minimalist approach to the title credits, made cool through how creatively they are used rather than how many colors someone can fit on the screen. Here are some types that I like.
1. NO OPENING TITLE AT ALL. Ghostbusters 2 did this. You go right into the movie, maybe with cast and credits in passive plain white font.
The title can finally blast onto the screen after the movie is over, causing ovation.
2. DO IT LIKE RAMBO, but amped up. Rambo had a violent opening sequence followed by the title booming in. Do that, but amp up the pre-title opening sequence. Make it a 15 minute shootout blastfest before the title screen even pops up. That causes ovation. Following, is plain white passive cast credits.
Bottom line, I just dont want flashy MTV style millions-of-colors on the screen opening credits trying to be COOL. Be badass and passive, NOT cool. -

Please don't kick me out. It's been a late night typing a million page paper. I will not spam again.

Already be rated? A children's film, most likely. After Rambo though, Sly is gonna bring his A-game. He has to up the ante. Even if this movie sucks, I will see it and enjoy the sheer awesomeness of it's casting decisions.
-
...and that's to find a way to make it boring/drawn out.
1. Fast and Furious - THERE WAS ONLY ONE STREET RACE THE WHOLE MOVIE! Yeah it made a ton of money off the brand, and it was actually a pretty cool movie, but people came to see cars and racing, and there was only ONE street race!
My point is, as long as they remember what people are coming to see for this movie...BADASS FIGHTING AND NONSTOP ACTION...then its gonna be really hard to screw it up.
Dont make it over dramatic...sappy...with all this lovey dovey crying stuff...man it the MAN MOVIE people want and its 99% gonna satisfy. There's only one way to screw it up, and thats forgetting that. In my opinion. -

Eric Roberts and Mickey Rourke will reunite for this movie.
by leafar the lost
I just realized that. Have they been in a movie together since, "The Pope of Greenvich Village?" I am guessing that they will both play druglords or something. However, maybe Eric plays a cop, due to the explosion picture. I don't know. Anyway, Julia is more talented than Eric, and the proof is the money. She was paid $20 million for three different movies. She was paid $15 million to do her last movie with Clive Owen (Duplicity), and she is 41. Julia is hot, but not that hot. The Hollywood producers aren't paying her that much money just for her looks, and she isn't having sex with all of them. For that much money, she should be required to...and the movie may not even make $15 million.

3 hours later, I'm glad to see it was an innocent mistake. Truly, Bale's machismo is very distracting (in a good way).
-
If it is PG-13, it better be a real hard PG-13.

I'm so fucking happy Sly got Eric Roberts for this movie . I've loved him ever since they paired up in The Specialist together.
I hope he's playing a greasy bad guy. He can rally pull that stuff off brilliantly.
Looking forward to video blogs from the set and more photos ! -
Eric Roberts was a good slimey bad guy. Sly blew shit up really good. Sharon was still hot. Gotta love it.
-
hi - publicist lady here with a littleupdate for those asking. Terry Crews arrives in Rio 2moro, Jet next week, I think Randy is here as he fights Anderson Sat night in a match. Rourke in Nola only with Brittany Murphy.
-
in the Dark Knight. Wish his role had been bigger.

Every movie in 2010 will be PWNED by Stallone! You heard it here first!

Im sure someone already mentioned this... But just in case here's the link http://www.empireonline.com/ news/story.asp?NID=24570

after going from rambo's R to 13 doesn't make any sense especially since it's the same director.
-
really in this? Can anyone confirm? If so... this movie just jumped up a couple notches if thats even possible..
-
to see this movie with my buddies, high as a fucking kite.
-
Jet Li - Plenty of PG13 movies such as the ForBidden Kingdom.
Jason Statham - The Transporter is PG13.
Sly and Dolph - Rocky 4.

Thanks for posting here! Maybe you can clear up a few other items like what rating is the film shooting for? Is Trejo involved? What MMA fighters have roles? Gracias!!
-
The best role he ever played.
-
Don't forgot James Woods totally bugnut fuckin maniac performance. Plus how bad ass was Sly's "house" in that movie? The factory he converted into his base but then he wired the whole thing and had built in escape routes? Awesome. I hope my future kids don't mind me skipping saving for their college education so I can build a kick ass base all wired with explosives (neighbor safe i promise) and a water based escape route. Plus a "Guns of Naverone"-like secret entrance for my Special Ops Cat, Secret Agent Lucky Fur.

I don't think I've ever encountered a post of yours without some serious insults toward other posters if they disagree with you.

be a strong R with lots of decapitations, disembowelments, abortions, and crucifixions. I want shotgun enemas and grenade suppositories. I want someone to get knifed in the cock. Give me blood and gore!

better not be pg13
