Behold The Peculiar Glory Of This Japanese EXPENDABLES Trailer!!
Merrick here...
I wonder, exactly, what elements make nearly any Japanese advertisement cool? I think it's the excitable urgency with which even the most mundane material is conveyed. I'm not calling THE EXPENDABLES "mundane" - just speaking generally here.
AB king pointed us towards the film's Japanese website, where you'll see a fun/super fast trailer which pretty much speaks for itself. Enjoy!
SEE IT HERE!!!

The Japanese are Just Culturally a Bit Different Than Us, No?
by dave i
Not in a bad way though.

First, it's a lot of excitement about a whole lot of nothing.Second, is that sort of marketing some gimmick to trigger ADHD-like energy, or just how they get into movies and such? I'd half-expect to see the movie played at 1.5X speed and served with Red Bull or something the way they advertised it.I realize it's a stereotype, but do they actually prefer a/o market their entertainment like that as a general rule? Obviously not all Japanese media is like that, most I've seen is not, but there are some notable examples that seem to be high-strung or at least just some degree of "goofy" by American standards.-Cheers

...guys who listen to Nickelback...aka...douchebags. P.S.- I know that isn't Nickelback in the trailer.
-
...IN THE CONSUMABLES TO STAR!!

The voiceover is just as exciting as the explosions...
by napolean solo
Couple that with the Japanese font and fast cutting, Pokemon the movie will look watchable.
It also helps that this movie is going to totally rock!!!!!! -
...that came up with this one?
-
whats the Japanese symbol for "play"?
-
...which achieves military purpose.
-
The Japanese. What, weren't you listening?
-
...which is employed in order the consumable permeates powerful behavior or the country of approximately South America of the thriller 傭 soldier, to knock down the merciless dictator. If delegation starts, the person when it appears, actualizes arent thing simultaneously, rather and betrays them and themselves being caught with dangerous lie, 800 finds. Their delegations and the small life and the person who of danger are disturbed rather than threatening the fact that this band of the sibling is destroyed fight with hard challenge.
-
Glad to see that when they flashed by each action character that both Bruce's CHURCH and ARNOLD's TRENCH were apart of it. Overseas is where this movie is going to dominate and ARNOLD, SLY and BRUCE still rule the foreign audience. First the DENMARK poster and now this. SLY, if you are reading this, please include ARNOLD and WILLIS on the FINAL U.S. One-sheet and list special appearances by in the next EXPENDABLES trailer.
-
just saw it..and Napolean Solo is right on w/ the voiceover...
-
The lastest Issue of EMPIRE Magazine has THE EXPENDABLES on the cover. It's a must own issue :)
-
EVEN THE JAPANESE VOICE OVER IS A CALM RELEASE FROM THAT AWFUL MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.
-
...The assembly of the gun which is employed with delegation, the cold-bloodedness which you take charge is sent in order to turn over the dictator in the country of the intended South America. When delegation starts, simultaneously, the 傭 soldier when it appears, discovers the fact that it is not state simultaneously. The person finds them themselves being hooked with the fatal game of fraud of the traitor who is during their ranking.
-
with a flashes of willis and schwarzenegger added in for good measure, nothing new there!
-
It won't bloody play in the UK?
-
all the quick cuts in the world can't hide what this really is.... a 70 million dollar piece of crap. Hard to believe anyone would allow Sly to be in charge of anything other than the remote control these days.
-
Mennen, THE MOTHER OF ALL ACTION MOVIES is a "70 million dollar piece of crap"? Why don't you go boil an egg or something! And the budget is actually 80 million.
-
of mindless action films, as mindless action films are chick flicks for guys. I don't really see any difference in how they appeal to their respective sexes. This will be great.
-
ABKing, don't know if you've actually read Empire but sadly Sly drops the bombshell of no more Rambo movies. He states 'it's 99% certain RAMBO V won't happen'.
Although the possibility of another EXPENDABLES film certainly seems hopeful... I can't wait for this glorious cheese to hit the screen! -
This won't make 50 in the US. It'll do business over seas and on DVD- that's how they can hope (pray) to break even. This looks like a Golan/Globus production because Sly stinks as a director. Stop blowing him, AB. Man up for Christ sake.
-
If only it could be the REAL "EXPENDABLES" -- the characters in a British SF novel series about the dregs of humanity being sent out to prepare hostile planets for colonization on the basis no one will miss them if they fail - which they do, more often than not.
-
I LOVE the direction the last Rambo film took, and was SO waiting for the next one to take place on the US Mexico border. If Rambo V is scrapped, I will not see The Expendables in the theater or pay to rent it on DVD. Please Sly, don't kill Rambo!
-
The funder/producer AVI LERNER has alot riding on THE EXPENDABLES and will promote the film at CANNES and advertise STALLONE/SCHWARZENEGGER/WILLIS as much as possible to sell the film in both the US and overseas. The CONAN reboot cost north of 80 million and will most likely flop and bleed red ink. Avi's cash cow is THE EXPENDABLES. Maybe Lerner will sign up with SCHWARZENEGGER in the future to make KING CONAN! Lets hope...
-
there is only one button which i click it and nothing happens.wtf?
-
Box-office sites are predicting that the film will hit no less than 130 million on the U.S. Go here http://moviemavericks.com/?p=2000 COBRA KAI, that quote must have been taken out of context because RAMBO 5 WILL be Sly's next film. THE EXPENDABLES looks and cost 80 million and it will deliver on the fun and action this summer. Make no mistake, the film will be a BLOCKBUSTER in the U.S.
-
Because it's a pile of shit. While you're working over there at the comic book store, they're trying to fix the movie that was FILMED LAST YEAR. Producers don't sit on pictures they believe will be hits... they MOVE THE RELEASE DATE UP EARLIER (Not further away)
-
How about you go post on the talkbacks of flicks or shows YOU want to see, and leave this one to those who are looking forward to it. Those of us like AB and myself grew up with these guys on our walls. I for one am looking forward to a action picture with a set of balls. If I have to see another fucking Matt Damon "action" movie im gonna stab myself in the sack. Fuck those pussy left wing bore fests. Give me Schwarzenegger, Sly, and Bruce!!...Even if its only for 5 mins. :)
-
Really dude ? Titanic
-
You are right. Producers don't sit on films that will be hits. THEY RELEASE THEM IN THE SUMMER. Hence why this moved to August from April. Why August and not July? See the box office of Inglourious for further info.....
-
That was so cool. They should keep that announcer on the actual film!
-
The editor must've been on heroine. That's the only explanation for such a butchered promo ad. Slap some faces on the screen for all of half a second with some ridiculous effects and filters to drag down the quality of the film, and make it look like the equilivent of an American C-grade DTV feature. Yeah, they really know how to market overseas. I see more coherent crap from amateur editors on YouTube.

I think I'd like it better seeing this movie in Japan with subs
by swivile bobble fizz fizz
-
hai!!!
-
If you're talking about diacetylmorphine, it is spelled heroin. There is no "e". Not that I noticed.
-
Not thrilled about any of the trailers out there for this flick. But somewhere deep down, I have an inclination to see it. However, I don't see it being better than the last Rambo flick.
-
LIONSGATE moved THE EXPENDABLES because they thought KICK ASS would play well before summer and that THE EXPENDABLES would play better in the summer. Lets face it, THE EXPENDABLES is a BIG SUMMER EVENT FILM, not a pre-summer film. It has SLY, ARNOLD and BRUCE in it. It belongs in the hot days of summer. Are you really that brain dead that you couldn't figure that out?

Sly, Arnie & Willis first on set picture over at Filmtwats.com
by keelan
Check it out all over at Filmtwats.com - I sent it over to Harry, Merrick, Quint and Co. but not sure if it fits the site.
http://www.filmtwats.com/news-abuse/first-picture-of-stallone-schwarzenegger-willis-on-the-expendables-exclusive/ -
You've clearly got a problem with Stallone. What's he done to raise your hackles?
-
Direct quote from RDJ.
-
Wow the announcer certainly WAS excited. :-)
And LOL @ "EXXU-SPEN-DIBURROW" though it sounded to me more like "eggs and spam burrows" -
Your link doesn't work. Stop making things up.
-
I believe it's actually a new song by Shinedown.

and it sounds more like he's saying "EKKU-SPEND-DA-BURRUS!!!"
-
Is funnier while less accurate phonetically.
-
this site NEVER gets old. Celebrities never counted on the internet allowing us to watch the silly shit they did for money, it seems. Nicolas Cage and Schwarzenegger's are particularly batshit, but it is Connery's Lost In Translation Suntory ad that wins.
-
Sorry the link doesnt work dude - spaces seem to have appeared within it! go straight to the URL filmtwats.com - it's on the front page. I also sent to Craig Z @ StalloneZone - he liked it :-)
-
OR, I've put the link through TinyURL, this will hopefully work: http://tinyurl.com/2vapuuw
-
Pretty lame, IMO.
-
I'm not sure if this is typical, though the shouty voiceover is par for the course on films like this. What I'm talking about is all of the text and little footage. It seems they are banking a lot on Stallone's mug. Jet Li and Jason Statham are about as well known in Japan IIRC.
-
The action and showing Sly and Arnold's faces will sell this in JAPAN.
-
Tits or GTFO!
-
STALLONE MAKES TARANTINO LOOK LIKE THE TALENTLESS HACK THAT HE IS
-
I love Stallone as much as the next guy but let's not get hysterical here..
And go easy on the CAPS they should be reserved for awesomeness..
