Stallone Talks About His Big EXPENDABLES Scene With Bruce And Arnold!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Merrick here...
A few weeks back we learned that Stallone was filming a long rumored, much desired on-screen pow-wow of himself, Bruce Willis, and Schwarzenegger. Sly talked to Entertainment Weekly, where he revealed the scene's nature. Clearly, this is SPOILER matieral - although it's not terribly detailed.
Stallone said the superstar-summit scene takes place in a church, where Willis’ nasty antagonist has summoned Stallone’s macho mercenary to finally meet him face-to-face, take measure of him, and possibly hire him for a death-defying mission. But just as the meeting gets under way and smartass smalltalk is made, in walks another killer-for-hire — Stallone’s longtime rival, who Willis has also invited to this job interview: Ah-nuld.
“Bruce says ‘Well, there’s one other person I want to talk to before I hire you,” says Stallone. “And then Arnold, who plays my old rival, walks in. We have a history together. And we go back and forth and I tell him that I should have shot him a long time ago when I had the chance. Then it goes on from there. And here we are, the three of us trying to man up to one another, playing off of who we are, using our baggage in this one scene.”
Stallone says that big scene with Willis, Schwarzenegger, and himself would amount to more than a cameo or a stunt in the final cut of the film. “It’s probably going to be about 5 minutes of screen time.”

interesting.
-
This sounds incredible. Has there been any word on rating? This is begging for a hard R. This movie has so much potential, PG-13 just won't do. Oddly enough, G would...
-
I just came and unload a big amount of geek jizz after reading this, I just went absolutely gay imagining that shit...
-
This movie sounds better & better all the time. Great cast. I'm really lookin' forward to this action-packed 80's homage
-
Mid 2010?
-
...damn. I was hoping it wasn't the Inevitable Face To Face Meeting In A Church Because It's Neutral Ground Scene. If I was a movie cop I would hang out exclusively in churches...just arrest every third person.Could be fun though...
-
It would have been so hilarious to give Jean-Claude Van Damme even one minute of screen time in this film.
Poor guy said no, and I bet he regrets it now.. -
Could this have not happend in the mid 80's, and for an entire movie???
-
Just for that scene with those three iconic figures together in the same dang room! Throw in Jet Li and Dolph along the way... that's gold, Jerry! GOLD!
-
Well then of course it's not a cameo or stunt casting, how could it be if it's 5 minutes? On the same hand, as much as I like these guys, 5 minutes seems overlong to have to sit there and watch them BS.
-
Could suck, could be epic, either way, I'm in line on opening day. I'm such a slut-whore-tramp for a good action movie.
-
Wow. That's gonna be pretty damn cool.
-
I'll have to see that atleast twice in the theaters. Damn you Stallone, this movie better not suck cause now I HAVE to see it.
-
WOW, if it wasn't an action scene, this kinda set up is the next best thing. Seeing SLY and ARNOLD in the opening together (with BRUCE) is gonna make this movie a classic all by itself. SUMMER 2010 is gonna KICK ASS EXPENDABLES style:)

I was excited until I saw the trailer - IT SUCKED. Cannon films?
by mennen
This movie looked like BRADDOCK: MISSING IN ACTION 3, while the tone reminded me of tango and cash. This looked awful. I'm annoyed now. 70 MILLION and we get THIS?
-
do it.
-
Are they going to... fight? Big mash-'em-up or shoot-'em-up? Or are they going to chat for 5 minutes? I don't know if it'll be worth it if it's just the bounty hunter scene from Empire Strikes Back with 80's action stars in the roles of Dengar and IG-88.
-
Why wasn't this a big piece of news back then?
-
this would have been cool....in 1987. Now? Not so much.
-
According to sources, we won't get a still until the beginning of JANUARY.
-
I thought Arnie was playing a politician or something, but to hear that he's playing a rival Merc to Stallone - well that's just too cool.
-
Standard line that Arnold uses in every movie....just like Will Smith says "Aw, HELL no"!!
-
True story. A few years back, Sly went to Elton John's Hollywood Party and when he walked in, there was Richard Gere, sitting cross legged on the floor waxing lyrical about Budhism to a crowd of sychophantic hangers on. Cue Sly:
"For fucks sake Rich, you are from Philly, now man the fuck up!"
Classic! -

This is history in the making!
-
Jerry Weintraub (OCEANS 11, 12 and 13, The Karate Kid series and The Specialist) was on the set the day this BIG scene was filmed so maybe just maybe Arnold and he talked the WESTWORLD project they were going to do before ARNOLD became governor. Would you guys like to see ARNOLD back battling robots in a non TERMINATOR film?
-
Post up a few pages from his draft? *snicker*
-
No ticket

Seems to me you'd want a little coda at the end of the film...
by harrycalder
...that would echo this scene at the beginning... with perhaps one last bit of violence dispensed... A little "You set us up! And now you're gonna pay." That sort of thing. They could have shot it the same day... So I'm hoping for more than one scene with this trinity of holy action mofos.
-
Of this scene, I'm gonna be there opening day. Ker-splat! Money shot, indeed. Really looking forward to this.

-
full of love and tenderness.
-
Arnold should do one of the many quality projects he has been attached to in the past not some shitty remake.
Although I have serious doubts he will ever return to acting in a staring role. -
It looks cheap and cheesy -I'm so annoyed by this!
-
and when they've killed Bruce and Sly, Arnie fucking kills both of those bitches. And rules over all.
-
You HAVE to give the kill shot to Bruce. And give him a line like, "Say hi to Swayze for me, bitch."
-
judge dredds fresh undies, what do you suggest for ARNOLD's future if he comes back?
-
Not really. :D That sounds awesome. Not what I was expecting somehow. But very cool. Do we have a release date?
-
Last I read, the release date is August 2010. Can't wait, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed with all the "smart-ass" dialogue being thrown around.
-
THE MOVIE OF SUMMER 2010!
-
Does this mean the universe is gonna explode due to the awesomeness of that scene? I fucking hope so.
-
If Ahnuld is a rival and shows up for the job too does that mean that Stallone kills him or something? Or does Ahnuld, after hearing the details of the mission, say "You know, you ah da best man foo da job. Good luck."
-
the door opens,they stop talking and look at the door and then Chow-yun-fat enters with his classic The killer look,he sees them with a suprised face,stands and tells them:
oops sorry,wrong church.
and he leaves,closing the door.the rest looks each other with a bluffed face and they continue their talk. -
I mean, seriously. Berets? What is this, 1979? When was the last time you saw a merc in a beret and 70s funk music wasn't playing in the background?
-
"You sonuva BITCH!"
-
i mentioned the same in another topic about this movie.the berrets detract
a lot from the seriousness of the movie.
The fans are waiting a hardcore,realistic movie with mercs and soldiers,exactly what they loved from Rambo4,but it seems from the trailer that mr Sly is not taking this route: his movie will be more about a self-parody,rather than a well-made combat movie.There will be huge disappointment with this flick. -
Just sayin.

SCHWARZENEGGER. STALLONE. I REMEMBER CECIL
by supercowbell5thecowbellhasspoken
"you are the anchor which gives my spirit license to soar."
-
Seriously, this all sounds cool, but if the movie was amazing then why do they need to tack on all the extra cameos and salaries? makes me nervous. and "cause it's cool" is not an answer. it's a gimmick. a really cool gimmick.
-
That's great, but the big question is...who would Arnold's squad of Expendables be? :-)
-
I think all who've seen it would agree that the early trailer for THE EXPENDABLES is pretty crap. Yeah, the berets are distracting, the one-liners are flat, and the action looks forgettable.
But in spite of that im still so fucking looking forward to this one. Look at the cast. This has to be the best action movie cast of the decade. As long as there's a huge bodycount and an R rating I don't see how this movie can fail to be AWESOME. -
i thought that was clarified already.
-
PG-13 NOOOOOO!
That was a pre-emptive 'noooo'. I don't believe the rating's been definitively confirmed yet. Still hope for hardcore violence. -
ABking, you're the man in the know on all things Sly/Arnie. Any insights on the rating?
-
....would naturally be the life takers and heart breakers from Predator. This movie probably takes place right before they were dropped in Central America. Ahnold sez: "My team arh nod assazins, and we dond do dis kinda woirk!" Bruce sez: "Good, then I guess my choice is made for me. Anything you wanta add Sly." Sly sez: "Yo, while you're busy gettin to da choppa, take that low life Apollo Creed with yas. He'll probably get himself killed along with the rest of youse team down there!"
-
...it's like making fun of a one legged soccer player. It just isn't done.You have to give the guy respect just for showing up.
-
If we lived in a day and age that they could keep this scene under wraps. You go in the theater getting what's advertised, then BOOM! What the fuck is Arnold doing in there!?!?!?!
Even if you aren't online, they'll probably toss him in a TV spot after the first week. -
Does it really get any more epic than this?
-
Only one who pulled this off at least for 5 min. The other two never even tried it.
-
a smile to my face
-
We're a rescue team...not assassins. Can't...friggin'...wait.
-
One of us is in big trouble.
-
ahahaha
-
I'm hoping that this movie takes place in the fictional country of Val Verde. If it does, I'll have my thesis.
-
true story that.
-
And that's with them hitting each other.
With their cocks. -
Zombies,Terrorist and Zombie Terrorist.
-
Pleasure Overload!!!!
-
Would love to have seen Chuck Norris show up in this too.
-
Sly, Arnold and Bruce. Thats amazing.
-
Well, if Arn did return to acting one would hope the money men see sense and produce King Conan or WWAE. I am still never going to get over IAL being turned into a shitty Will Smith movie, or that would be on my list too.
I would guess Crusade would be the only dream Arnold project that still has any chance of being made, so if Arnold came back for any film it should be that.
If he wants to make a few more movies then I would hope he can find something better than a West World remake.
I would hope that he would choose something with some balls again rather than worry about subject matter that might not fit with how he wants to be viewed politically, ie watered down shit where he doesn't use a gun like Collateral Damage, which is probably my least favourite Arnold movie, even below B&R and Conan the Destroyer. -
Hahaha! I was thinking the other day that there should be a law written to make sure this is set in Val Verde.
-
Looking very forward to this film!!!!!
-
Sly pulls Arnolds hair and pokes Willis in the eyes. All three scamper off into the sunset in fast motion ala the Three Stooges.
-
It's like a fantasy come true, how many times have we had recess arguments about who'd win in a showdown like this? My inner-5th grader cannot wait for this!!!
-
rambo.... was a pussy
-
He is a pussy. Apart from Die Hard he hasn't much to his action name.
-
I was pumped for a hardcore, quasi-serious Tropic Thunder-esque action romp...... then I saw that trailer. I watched it about three times because I wanted to like it, but.... damn. And a PG-13 cut? Thought the whole premise was a love letter to 80's action movie fans, who by this point, should be well past old enough to get into an R film. Surprised that Stallone didn't fight to keep the thing straight R.
-
"Sly must have some serious clout in order to swing this". Not really. The 3 of them are buddies and also former business partners in Planet Hollywood. I say former because I think the 3 of them are no longer part of that business venture...I could be wrong...not that I care....
-
In all the other action-y movies Willis was in, all he does is make a blank stare with a low voice to make it seem like he's a badass. And the reason Die Hard was so great was precisely because Willis WASN'T an action star...he was an every man. He was the singing detective from Moonlighting. But he's lost touch with what made the original Die Hard great and has become the antithesis of that.
-
they start measuring their dicks? who is the most bad ass action star and so on?
-
Someone get Vern on the Batphone.
-
Arnold, Sly, Bruce, Jason, Jet (no...not you Jett..tho I know you probably wrote the scene), Dolph...I hope they include a condom with my ticket.
-
What a let down. It will probably just be the three of them smiling and winking at each other in a office set.
-
and I didn't like any of the Ocean movies. Really?!..they steal an E.M.P device to use in the casino heist. Hhhmmm. I think it would be harder to steal the E.M.P than it would to rob the casino.
-
Why isnt Carl Weathers in this?
-
Arnold will show back up with his expendables crew which would consist of Steven Segal, Van Damm, Kurt Russel, Carl Weathers, and Bill Duke... That would be money!
-
Yes, both Sly and Willis still own share in the remaining successful PLANET HOLLYWOOD resturantes around the world, but their big money comes from the stock they own in the PLANET HOLLYWOOD CASINO in VEGAS. By the way, THE EXPENDABLES is going to be R rated so shut the fuck up already about the ratings BULLSHIT! And to judge dredds fresh undies, I still want CRUSADE and since ARNOLD owns it then it will most likely be made. WESTWORLD can be very good with a visionary director at the helm. I still dream and hope of a TRUE LIES 2, but even if that is not made, Arnold must work with James Cameron again.
-
Was admitting to a TMZ Camera-man that he smoked pot with Tommy Chung back in the day. Ironically, he was with Stallone when he said it!
-
Stallone will own it's ass!
-
the trailer for this was absolutely horrific
-
but come on, man, that's a great cast and as long as they bring the action (which certain parts of the trailer pretty clearly show), I think it'll just be cool seeing these guys onscreen together. And you'll get the Hard R, or better yet, unrated cut on dvd/blu-ray... plus, if it's bad enough in a good way, I see a midnight movie in the making. Oh, and I guarantee you'll see an Arnie, Sly, Willis movie within the next few years. Whatever the last holdout is, you always see it right when stars/directors want to be relevant again.
-
I will be there. And Bruce Willis is a goddamned action star, bitches.
If they added Chuck Norris and Chow Yun Fat the fucking earth would explode. That is all. -
So please, "King Conan", shut the fuck up, you fucking clown.Thanks.
-
The best Action stars ever together in one movie!!! AWESOME!!!

I DEMAND A TEXT MESSAGE WITH ALL EXPENDABLES NEWS!!
by gibsonusa returns
This is the second one I was late for...still dizzy from Halloween!! :P
-
I was gonna say something about that. Like, as they are walking in, Chow Yun Fat and Danny Lee are walking out...
-
And John Woo is in the back sweeping or something.
-
Just wondering.
-
Stallone should have hired Tarantino to write the dialogue between him and the other 2s. it would have become epic!

¨...and then we all suck each other off in a homo-daisy chain.¨
by zombieheathledger
The expiration date on my excitement about the scene described by Stallone is about ten years old. The scene described sounds cliche´. It´s not enough just to see these three onscreen together if it´s not plot driven from a really great script with dialogue better than the old tired, ¨I should´ve shot you when I had the chance¨ b.s. we´ve seen million times.
-
ALL you assholes complaining about the film already will change your tune when you see the finished and first official trailer (what is out now is a promo clip, NOT a trailer) all glossed up with the correct cinematography/ color coding etc...and then say OK I WILL SEE THIS NOW. I am rolling my eyes at you CLOWNS! AND Sly is a solid writer. The BIG OPENING scene with SLY, ARNOLD and BRUCE will have witty dialogue.
-
jesse the body ventura .....cue predator team !!!!
and the predator :P ........... that would be real cool if they could get another team of heavies .... maybe JCVD would have a way back in, or michael beihn !!!! the terminator crew bill paxton the possibilities are endless but that would be AWESOME if they did it -

you could have both teams trading off insults .. no mum jokes !! outside !!! yeah could be funny
-
Now that would be great if Sly's team comes back for EXPENDABLES 2 and then Arnold has his own team members made up of action stars as well.

by hesky75
arnuld, the rock, JCVD, Vin diesel........ who else ?
-
I mean seriously? This "promo" "trailer" or whatever it is looks like crap. No joke. Color correction isn't going to fix the composition of the shots. The entire film looks dated and stale. Plain and simple. I know you're hard for Stallone but he should have had someone qualified (form this decade) direct it. And while I'm on the subject RAMBO was a simple "go in and getem' story (no layers) ... lazy. It was Rambo 3 without the politics. Paper thin. Just chill dude.
-
GET A CLUE and wait for the real trailer!
-
is A Jerry Goldsmith R.I.P. score and it will go down as the greatest movie ever made after Commando.
