Schwarzenegger And Willis To Have "Substantial" Roles In EXPENDABLES 2?
Nordling here.
Realize this is a bit late as it made the rounds yesterday, but I thought it was worthy to post about. As we know, Simon West is directing the second installment of THE EXPENDABLES, and many of the actors are returning for another go-round, including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren (who really was damn good in the original film, the best thing in it, imo) and Mickey Rourke. Now rumors are coming around that Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme may be coming to play as well, which is fine with me. If they could throw in Spuds McKenzie and that guy who talks fast in the old FedEx commercials, I'm all for it. Hell, let's get Ralph Macchio with his Special Crane Kick Of Murder to go after the bad guys. It would be perfect.
But the news that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis are returning, and that their roles will be beefed up (so to speak) makes me really happy. I enjoyed the hell out of the original, although I could definitely see room for improvement. But Terry Crews' Magical Automatic Shotgun pretty much ruled the movie for me, and if that piece of Willy Wonkaesque machinery shows up again, I'll be a happy man.
But I'm curious to see what Arnold and Bruce's characters would be. In the first film, if I remember correctly, Arnold was the head of another group of mercs, possibly a rival to Barney Ross's. And Bruce Willis as the guy who sends them on their way, well, he seems to have something a bit sinister about him, and I'd be interested in seeing what he really does for the U.S. government. These three going head-to-head-to-head would be fine by me.
And one request - for a movie called THE EXPENDABLES, they didn't seem all that expendable, as no one really died. Not saying kill people off arbitrarily, but it would be nice to see someone sacrifice something instead of smiling through every explosion. THE EXPENDABLES 2 comes out next year.
Nordling, out.

You'll have a full set.

Instead of 4!

The first film was crap. Everybody could tell that Terry Crews was just place holding for Wesley Snipes, and Statham was doing the same for a very absent Van Damme.

I enjoyed The Expendables but it didn't live up to its potential...

...that said I have high hopes and am really looking forward to the sequel. Chuck Norris FTW!

anyone who enjoyed it, needs to be banned from viewing any film that isn't a Sci Fi original.

because we know he jacks off to any message written from the botox king, Sly Stallone.

Sue me cineastes but I really liked THE EXPENDABLES and will def check out the sequel. Yes - in many ways it was an *almost* movie, but rumor has it that Stallone has already edited together a much improved 'directors cut' which will prob see the light of day in the run up to the sequel. RAMBO, ROCKY BALBOA, THE EXPENDABLES... keep em coming old boy!
-
The guy from Dexter was just too wishy washy for me, too unsure of himself to be a worthy bad guy in EX 1. Hopefully the next installment will have a much more worthy adversary. I loved the movie for all of it's balls out badassery. Can't wait for the next one, how can you go wrong with more Willis, Aanold and Stallone. And please bring Stallone back to AICN for that awesome question and answer segment....He is a great sport to go through that with us geek fans.Bruce has some splainin' to do with his last effort in the Die Hard films, so if he comes back, better be prepared with some good answers, or at least admit that the last one was a over the top, nuetered mess. Yippie Ki Ay motherBOOM..oh I get it, he was saying it and then something exploded...ahhhh...
-
I see conflicting reports flying around the interwebz regarding Jet Li's involvement in the sequel. Damn it, AICN! If you can't get to the bottom of this, no one can! I needs to know.
-
SPOILERS He died in the first movie, so not sure how they could bring him back. Maybe a flashback? Also, he really wasn't the best thing about the first one. You could barely understand him when he talked. I understood him more when he was speaking russian in Rocky IV, and I don't know a lick of russian.

Expendables wasn't crazy enough. And rourke was a snooze.
by knowthyself
But it had its heart in the right place. I'd love to see this evolve into a series for classic action stars.
-
The Expendables went old school in its set design and action, and while the camera was shaky the action at the end with every character having his own style was pretty amazing. If people didn't like it, maybe this type of thing isn't really for them, but as far as old school dudes wanting to be cool and kick ass, I'm down Now, as for those two getting more screen time...awesome...seeing all 3 even for a few minutes with cheesy dialog was great...if the two teams really feud in this one I can't wait to see what Arnold and Stallone would do to each other... However...Sly is in MUCH better shape and I can't see Arnold doing nearly as much strenuous lifting for the role... As for bad guy...Willis is always fun but Roberts was a fantastic bad guy and Angel Batista was a nice add-on. Point is, idc how much screen time these legends get, as long as a certain Twilight star doesn't get cast this is a guaranteed ticket from me.
-
has to be on Arnold's team...I really don't see how he can't be in the next one, and have some sort of boxing match with Dolph...however....if that did happen, I'm pretty sure my face would explode from the giant smile I'd have during it.
-
Dolph was alive at the end and healing from his wounds in the bar before the knife competition.
-
Anyone who can go toe-to-toe with Ed Harris (twice), match Val Kilmer at his peak in the old west, lead about half a dozen seperate cinematic Seal and special forces teams across various films, including one consisting of Charlie Sheen, Dennis Haysbert, and Bill Paxton, and who has fought both Aliens and the (original) Terminator, has more than earnt their action man stripes in my book. And how about Kiefer Sutherland in Jack Bauer mode too, while we're at it...
-
the question and answer thing was my favorite part of AICN all of last year...his answers were amazing, his intelligence and passion for his art were great, and I couldn't stop laughing at some of his responses...mostly the ones where he flat out made fun of Scott Pilgrim

Oh yeah I forgot, haha. Nevermind.

EXCUSE ME for forgetting what happened at the end of a mediocre movie.
by TheMcflyFarm
fucking idiot...
-
...Randy Coture was in Van Damme's place not Statham. The first one was a giant disappointment. A great 80's cast and a great 80's premise ruined by modern style photography and editing. The fights were all filmed way to close and chopped to hell. You have things like Steve Austin and Randy Coture both dressed in black having a fight in the dark with the camera being waved around like two feet from them and then edited past any point of coherence.

awful film. Expendables was given a free pass glowing review after harry knowles contractually asked sly to promote his film on this site. Harry knowles slept through inception. A film which he didnt like. Visually inception was the best film of last year and was one of the biggest grossing. Expendables was god awful. A shoddy stale cheefest, starring bruce willis and jet li excluded, a bunch of 1980s action has beens. and that walking piece of balsa wood jason statham.
-
Got to have a bad-ass woman in the mix. Yeah, I know she is old now, but who cares it's an action movie.
-
Dude, I was really excited about what you were going to say and then you were like "nvm" lol....sigh...as for the namecalling, I really don't like it... But on sites like this you do have to realize posting something so absolutely on a forum about a movie that a ton of people liked/watched multiple times, then having the thing you posted by very very wrong, the crazies on here will shred you up.... finally...it boggles my mind so I figure I'll ask....if you didn't really like the movie why bother posting something like that on a forum about the sequel to the movie you didn't care for? Idk....anywho...sorry you thought it was mediocre, I loved it...and it was pretty lame that Dolph is magically alive after he even says "Im dying"
-
Agree about having a woman....now, she's not badass but Bullock said she's love to be in it when they asked her if he mentioned anything before the first film came out My vote? See how Gina Carano's "Haywire" looks cuz that is one badass chick. Oh and please no more Zoe Saldana...I personally think she was hotter when she was blue and 8 feet tall...
-
Have him be the bad guy and have the most epic of all show downs ever with Chuck Norris, writes itself.
-
...The Expendables felt (and looked) more like a typical Statham flick. It was okay, but hardly the "ultimate 80s action-fest" it was hyped as. I get the feeling this will be more of the same, with most of the actors people want to see limited to extended cameos. Bruce might get some decent screentime, but Arnold's currently only expected to shoot for roughly a week. Hardly what I'd call a "substantial role".
-
actually having him be the villain stroking the cat giving Bruce Willis orders would actually be kind of amazing.
-
Would fit in superbly.
-
It is the AA-12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c Check it out.
-
It was a throwback to 80s action movies, and it ruled. I don't know what more someone expects from an action film.
-
I hear ya. I usually like to be absolutely sure about something before I post on hear so that I don't get my head chewed off. Makes me really wish there was an edit button on here. As for the movie, I didn't hate it. Maybe mediocre is too strong a word. But I did find it a bit disappointing compared to how good it could have been for me. It just felt like they put in these guys that look big and tough, but weren't really action movie stars. Couture, Crews, Austin, and even Lundgren (to a lesser extent) are not who I think of when I think "action star". With Willis and Schwarzenegger in more substantial roles, I'm hoping the sequel will be more like the movie I had in my mind when Sly announced the first one.
-
80s films weren't full of shakycam and dumb-ass editing that made it absolutely impossible to work out what was going on.

I would think the most interesting man in the world should have a feminine side.
by frank
He should be complicated. Those commercials are relatively funny for commercials (funny commercials are inherently evil because they pretend to be your friend in order to get you to give them money), but I found that particular one to be a little misogynistic.
-
A lot of those 80s films were also filled with inane and cliche-driven scripts, bad production value, and were shoveled out to VHS in droves by Golan-Globus. Rose-colored glasses, my friend.<P> There was simplicity, yes, but they weren't any better.
-
So they covered themselves on the inherently evil front.
-
ya at first I was like holy crap they got awesome people in that...then I was like hold on, um...not really...Couture, Crews, Austin in major character roles...ummmm However, then found out that Stallone had been really getting into MMA and almost every guard/henchman is an MMA fighter because he really dug the sport...putting Couture in was probably his way of showcasing that sport/style in his movie. Austin was always badass but movie star, ya no...but everyone always says wrestling is fake and taking that world and putting in against MMA was probably a fun idea to him... Crews has been "that one buff/funny black guy" in tons of films so I'm glad he got to show the action side of him, even if it meant returning to "funny" for the Ice Cube TBS show (i put funny in "" cuz the show sucks).... Dolph is an action star, especially overseas...he's been in just as many direct to dvd movies as Van Damn if not more....if the movie had been done in the 90's I'm sure Goldberg would've been in instead of Stone Cold. Also, lets face it, this movie could've easily been Tango & Cash pt 2 and been just as horrible...but no, they put the transporter on the nose of a real plane and used a real kick ass shotgun and Sly broke his neck hitting the real cement wall...in my mind it was badass
-
I don't understand, your argument was that the Expendables was a throwback to 80s action movies, then you bemoan 80s action movies?
-
I hate that...what is their prime? In his "prime" Sly also did Stop or my mom will shoot, a film that even he says was a low point...plus there was Oscar and Rocky 5...so what qualifies things as "their prime".... Stone Cold did 1 other theater film and it was decent for a wrestler's movie, so his prime in acting...well idk when that will ever happen, but he was still fun Willis was in a movie about old people being spies...arguably that's him past his prime....but now he's in a bunch of thrillers/action movies coming up and who knows if he will even do hand to hand combat in this? Arnold...Collateral Damage was also a decent flick...nowhere near as good as his "prime" days of T2/Action Hero/Kinder/etc but the guy was a politician for a while and his place in this could very well end up being a "return to form" instead. So I fail to see how the "old has-been" comment applies...every one is in other films, making money, making fans happy...so none are has-beens Especially Sly who went from great shape in Balboa, to steroid training that got him arrested with a bag of pills during Rambo to lean and friggin jacked for expendables...lets see if, at your age, you can do that stuff....i mean come on, watch the special features, all those guys busted their asses for this movie. So the debate of washed up/has been/past prime is really a matter of do you like the actor now or not, but it's not a realistic argument...these guys will all be doing films for a while and will continue to make fans happy.
-
The original Stone Cold!
-
Bodies flying everywhere, no plot, guts and stupid jokes. Loved it.
-
You were implying that they were better. I said they aren't. I didn't "bemoan" anything except for people that have the misconception that the 80s were some sort of magical period that should serve as a benchmark for all movies. They weren't always that great.
-
It would be awesome if he had a fight scene against Jet Li.
-
are dumb...there is NO DEBATE...Running Man is about a guy in tights on a game show and the fights/dialog/bad guy all were terrible. Commando is just a buff guy shooting for 2 hours Rambo is the same thing but with a distraught skinnier person in the jungle with stick weapons Cobra...welll...eesh Were they bad production values? Well for the most part, ya...they were done on limited budgets and thrown out to audiences and people gobbled them up I think the whole "throwback" part was that it was actual explosions, a real set instead of all cgi, actual buff characters instead of a normal looking Bourne-type, and a ridiculous plot with cheese dialog In short I think it was more an homage to what made those 80's films "classics", not tryin to be an actual 80's movie. I loved Rocky/Rambo/Commando/etc because they were brainless fun (Rocky being the BEST FRIGGIN PICTURE WINNER BTW)... If you didn't like the film or couldn't follow what was happening...that sucks for you...but I saw and practically felt every hit, especially the big fights at the end in the tunnels... And the "poorly lit night fight" was still obvious who was who...Couture had the hat, Stone Cold was bald...it was like SWAT where you couldn't tell who just was killed until later... Bourne/Quantum of Solace/The Kingdom/etc were all fast-edited action films and I made out more in this than all those combined
-
gave us Predator...which has the number 1 most manly moment in all of cinema history...Arnold putting on the mud and lighting the torch and screaming out into the jungle...showed my gf that and she got goosebumps I agree that 80's movies get brought up as a benchmark and I hate it....its really the moron 90's kids that had the 80's parties and talked about how awesome the 80's were and it's like dude, I'm 24...I was 3 years old in 1989...you were too, don't pretend like you know anything about it Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, etc...all overrated. But some you kind of have to see just to be in the loop during conversations... If you asked me to debate Commando/Cobra/Running Man against The Rock, Face/Off, and Con Air...well, the last three were infinitely better...it's just the generation I grew up in....I'm not going to pretend like the 80's were the best times because they weren't...but they did provide entertainment that I will always think is great to put on in the background during a workout session
-
the single most manly moment in all of action-movie history....Arnold puts mud on and lights the torch after settling up the traps and lets out a rage-fueled scream into the forest.... I love 80's movies...the are fantastic to have in the background during a workout
-
the "Also 80's" thing never showed up so I retyped a shorter version of it and posted it....then it showed up..sigh...my bad.

Does anybody really care about the Expendables? It's garbage garbage GARBAGE, the idea was cute for the novelty but now it's just about milking more money out of a dead era out of a bunch of dead OLD celebrities who won't realize their time is up and they're DONE THEY ARE FUCKING DONE AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON GRACEFULLY INSTEAD OF HOLDING ONTO SOMETHING THEY ARE NOW RUINING. Are there NOT enough STUPID movies out there in this day and age? Do we STILL NEED TO FUCKING "TURN OUR BRAINS OFF" in EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MOVIE THAT COMES OUT?!?! What a horrible HORRIBLE time to be a moviegoer these days, it's just trash and garbage churned out either to hit your nostalgia button so you vomit out money or for just outright STUPID people who now make up most of the population. Face it, the creative and ONCE magical Hollywood is over and done with, and what's leftover in the ashes is some cancerous fucking shit-stenched TUMOR that just feeds on incompetence and mediocre vile PUKE HACK WASHED UP GARBAGE. Hm gee this is great I hope they put in a Facebook joke or something, Mass Audiences love that, thank god that won't EVER be dated EVER. How CAN there ever be another young Spielberg or Nolan or Hitchcock or what the fuck EVER when there is no great cinema LEFT to inspire?! It's just a vicious cycle of dumbing down each successive generation, kids today are trained and genetically engineered to be STUPID IGNORANT HELPLESSLY DEPENDENT ON EVERYTHING ELSE BUT THEMSELVES SHELLS PROGRAMMED TO SPEND MONEY ON A BUNCH OF FUCKING MATERIAL SHIT, so hey great hope you enjoy your Adam fucking Sandler "films" and crotchless facefucking emo Spiderman and fake rubbery muscles big ass fucking headed Superman, you get exactly what you deserve for making excuses for this stupid shit drivel.

I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, this should be another entertaining ride.

you posted that long thing on this forum...meaning you knew it was a forum on the arnold/willis stuff and you still used your anger to write a long story....I don't know why you decided it was worth it, but ok.... Actually, at the end of that rant, I partially agree...the stuff people make these days sucks...Abduction is being marketed as an amazing action movie but I'm never ever watching it...ever... You still have Drive, TinkerTailorSoldierSpy, Coriolanus, J Edgar, Ides of March, and a ton of other Oscar-worthy movies....I'm not saying they'll all be classics but I'm sure a few will be worthy of you....I for one enjoy the mindless movies with stars like Sly, Willis, Arnold...I'd much prefer an Expendables 5 over a Twilight or Paranormal Activity or even another Green Lantern... And to answer your question...Sly personally funded his own investigation team to hunt down people pirating Expendables on their computers and even said he'd do something about it if someone told him they knew of someone who pirated his movie....so he cares about it....just like the people who have spent 275 million dollars just in theaters...and I'd much rather have that money go to this film than another pre-teen pos film...oh and I hope the new Spiderman bombs big time

The first one was enjoyable enough i thought
by Judge Dredds Dirty Undies
The dialogue was fucking awful, the plot actual I didnt have massive issues with, although there was some absurdities I could have done without. But, I dug the action unlike some of you. Yeah some of the fighting could have been better filmed, but still i think a lot of talkbackers are being unfair. I'm looking forward to the next one especially in light of this news, just hope they have a better script and that Simon West delivers on the action.

The basketball court scene with the "next time I'll deflate all your balls" was horrible...giving Statham a love interest just for the heck of it was lame... But the last 30+ minutes were great and the lead up was just fun. Like it didn't make sense why the flames wouldn't go up into the jet even when they were flying away with the fuel STILL dumping...but it's a friggin action movie so who cares people who completely bash this film do it cuz they think it's fun...this is a good movie for what it's trying to be....not everything has to be an Oscar contender

by KilliK
i hope the sequel will be better.Willis and Arnold are welcomed additions but i really want to see Van-Damme as well.
-
Give Jesse Ventura a role. Maybe as part of Arnold's team. Or maybe as the villain! Imagine if Sly and Arnie and Bruce all fight, then team up to take on "Boss" with their pistols and knives, and "Boss Ventura" pulls out "Old painless" and opens fire!!!!!! Saying something like "Here's a real man's gun!" Just having Ventura on the poster with that damn minigun would rule! Or, Jesse--not Arnold--could be president, thus giving added dimension to that awesome joke in the church (Arnie is upset not because he ISN'T president, but that his bigger rival IS . . .)
-
So in an above post I said my gf got goosebumps from the scene with arnold screaming, torch lit, in the jungle and how I think it's the most manly moment in action movie history... well my girlfriend wanted to watch the entire movie after that...so we did... about 2 months later we went to Six Flags and it was during her time of the month so of course she was a little cranky....well we went to the water park and I asked "are you sure you wanna go in a bunch of water...you know...right now?" she says, while chewing a lot of gum..."I ain't got time to bleed"....laughed my ass off.

I don't think I'll ever get over it. If he wanted to fuck Danny DeVito, he just should have. And I still don't like Jason Statham. Whatever. These movies aren't what I'd thought they'd be. It'll be nice to see JCVD anyway. I think Spuds McKenzie is dead.
-
Were together in Vegas with Wesley Snipes and JVCD (my instructor was Steve "Sanders" Muhammad, once considered the fastest man in the world, and Snipes' bodyguard at the time) and Seagal was being Seagal, and Arnold was cracking jokes on everyone ("martial artists over here...dancers over there he said, looking at JCVD--and JC actually walked to where Arnold indicated!) At one point, Seagal asked my instructor who the hell he was, and Snipes replied that he was one of the world's foremost martial artists. (Mr. Muhammad is not tall...but lethal). Seagal continued probing, and poking at Steve's washboard midsection, and finally Steve looked at Seagal's gut and asked if he was still training. "Every day" Seagal said. Arnold quipped "what? Pumping your knife and fork?"

Dolph Lundgren??? Best thing about that film was Mickey Rourke
by BoyNamedSue
Did I miss something in Lundgren's performance. Nothing special, IMO.....And, yes, the movie was a big disappointment, especially since the last Rambo and Rocky films were so very good!
-
And Arnie needs Sly's help, especially since no one is supposed to know about the kid, so the more covert the better!
-
So I feel like these movies are kind of missing my demographic, but I like Stallone's last few directorial efforts. Pretty cool cast being assembled for this one, but I suspect the unintentional comedy meter will hit 11 any time Chuck is on screen.

Kicks the "Most Interesting Man In The Worlds" ass!

First one was crap and it could have been good but they totally missed the boat by the casting. Should have added Carl Weathers, Micheal Ironside, Terry O'Quinn, JCVD, Chuck Norris, Rutger Hauer, Vernon Wells and Randall "Tex" Cobb.

NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! and buff asian dude from Bloodsport

is one of the worst action directors of ALL TIME. What a bad decision.
-
http://madvilletimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/SchwarzeneggerBicycleDC.jpg No doubt he'll show up in ridiculous shape (for a guy in his 60s). You think he's gonna let Stallone look more ripped in their first movie together? Anyway, hopefully the plot is what I think most people wished for in a sequel: Arnold has his own rival mercenary crew (Van Damme, Seagal, Carl Weathers?). Opening scene can be something like Stallone's team are going out on a mission and right before they get to their objective, Schwarzenegger's team beats them to the punch and rescues/kills who they were going after. Stallone and Arnold bitch at each other; Stallone is like "this was our mission", Arnold is like "you guys are too slow, we're the real badasses". Willis hires Stallone's crew again for a big mission. They get there, realize they've been set up and find Arnold's team is also there and being set up. They decide they have to team up to take down the real bad guy (Willis). I mean, this shit writes itself.

Damn straight! ULTIMATE WARRIOR needs to be in this! Heck, they already made Steve Austin a major player, why not Warrior? Always my favorite wrestler, and he is indeed still in hellaciously good shape! And he's got the voice, the mannerisms, the intensity--He could be either a hero or villain in this. Maybe just a bad-ass merc. Can you picture Warrior with camo pants, flak jacket and some BFG? And war paint, of course. Must have the war paint!

She is too busy with Ryan Reynolds crawling up after fucking her dried up box and blasting his cheesy white loads in her botox soaked face while her adopted porch monkey watches from the doorway in eye popping wonder. Goddamn, I gotta gift with words. Powerful stuff. I should do this shit for a living.
-
come close to them.
-
Have him be the guy that trained Sly, Arnie, and Rourke. I think he would have fun with it.
-
Sly, Dolph and Statham come back as the familiar team. Arnold leads Van Damme and Donnie Yen. That makes the most sense.

KIMBO SLICE needs to be in this, and he needs to say "all day" at some point in the movie.
by GibsonUSA Returns
I have, and will continue to mention Kimbo as the perfect addition to the Expendables. Millions of internet fans...and would make the perfect bodyguard/henchman for the bad guy. <BR><BR> And, in the movie, after he kills Rouke's character, he needs to say "all day..."
-
Sept. 7, 2011, 9:12 p.m. CST
Mr. T should be in the movie, playing KIMBO SLICE's dad.
by GibsonUSA Returns
All day.
-
80's muscle guy, not an action hero but the most memorable wrestler of the 80's easily. He is in better shape than all of the expendables except Terry. He has INSANE intensity and his youtube work out videos are NUTS. The guy has a shaved head and a body like a 35 year old pro body builder!! I think Sly could get him for a song and add more 80's action street cred at the same time! A WWF legend would be fun to see in the mix! Iwould suggest Piper but he is in HORRIBLE shape! At least Warrior is still MASSIVE.

This movie sounds hella awesome. Choke on my positivity.

Jet Li's character should get killed in the opening sequence of the movie.
by GibsonUSA Returns
If Jet doesn't wanna go full-time, have him come in for a day and film his character getting killed by Donnie Yen or something....that would give the other Expendable's motivation.
-
But the first movie sucked. All the ramped up shaky cam action and WWF fight scenes were just lame and boring. If the entire premise of your film is a big bad ass action film, you should have some big bad ass action sequences. There was nothing memorable about this flick. Plug in the shitty dialogue (look how care free our banter is, isn't that fun and clever?!) and you had a real waste of a film. Adding Simon West into the mix doesn't increase my hopes for the sequel. Its like they've given up and are just aiming this one for mediocrity.
-
Why not?
-
Bolo Yeung, the main bad guy from Bloodsport, got his ass kicked by Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, and many other VHS movies would be awesome.
-
Kurt Russell has to be in this....Chuck Norris to but have him as the villian like back in the day.
-
I LOVE some of the stuff I've seen.. LOVE the notion of the Total Recall reunion. made me laugh.. and I'd LOVE to see Ronny Cox.. seems like its been AGES... Ironside had a small bit part in the.. 4th or was it 5th season premiere of Burn Notice.. nice seeing him again IN PERSON (not just as Sam Fischer). I've also seen Dudikoff.. my choice as well.. of course I think think throw Rutger Hauer in there as well... and can't forget Christopher Lambert... and of course, also Micheal Qissi who played Tong Po in Kickboxer 1,2 and.. 4 I think..
-
He's still out of bubble gum.
-
With that Thomas flair.

You could make a trilogy and slowly kill off all the characters in a three team match so to speak....

Expendables was a terrible Stallone ego-fest. Nothing new. And Lundgren was awful.

They despise each other so it would make for great piece of celluloid.

i'd like to humbly nominate some Vincent Klyn. you may know him as "Fender" in Cyborg. or as the "We're just gonna fuck you up" surfer guy in Point Break. but probably nothing else. like ever. is that guy still alive? he seemed pretty awesome in '89. remember how Cyborg was the aborted HeMan sequel? well MOTU was on yesterday and then on another channel, Cyborg started immediately after. Fender's chain-mail vest thing belonged to "Blade" in MOTU. it was a total situation of save and reuse everyfuckingthing apparently. .../The More You Know

re: "for a movie called THE EXPENDABLES, they didn't seem all that expendable, as no one really died"
by buggerbugger
For fuck's sake. Just because the people who send you on a mission regard you as expendable does not automatically mean that you **should** die or that you **will** die, your superiors just don't give a fuck **if** you die.
-
Please. He can look fabulous. Remember--Stallone was never in "world class" shape. He was in TERRIFIC shape--for an actor. Arnold was seven-times world champion in a sport where it's all about how you look, selecting appearance over performance. He'll never look the way he used to, but then neither will Stallone. The last time we really saw his torso (Rocky) he looked quite lumpy, if tremendously strong and muscular. Didn't take his shirt off for "Rambo" and in "Expendables" he was so covered with tattoos that we couldn't really see much of the way he looked. In great shape? Sure. Could he have ever won even a state-wide bodybuilding contest? That's a "maybe." Is he a genuinely tough guy? You bet. (Although one of the great lost opportunities in tough-guy cinema is that he and Mickey Roark never really went mano y mano in "Get Carter." What a pity.) He does NOT want to get into a pose-down with Arnold, any more than Arnold would want to get into a smack-down with Sly.

Will Shaky-Cam Have a "Substantial" Role in this sequel?
by CuervoJones
Shaky-Cam almost ruined the first one.
-
I completely misread your post and started picturing Tom Jones greased up and ready for action, like the randy Welsh bastard he is. Worryingly, it kinda works...
-
When you said "Fabulous" I pictured you doing the gay eye roll, finger snap, "dammmnnn girlfriennd!" I don't think ur gay, it's just what I pictured...cuz ur talking about a dude...anywho I agree with everything you said except even with all the tattoos you could see Sly working out for the movie in youtube clips and even I think, clips on this site and the guy was doing walking lunge curls with super heavy weights and benching a redonk amount and I'm pretty sure he looked like the most menacing guy on the screen...when he wasn't running for the plane on the pier...that I actually felt a little bad for him cuz he looked like he was going to collapse lol Arnold getting buff is a given, especially in the above post with the pic of him on his bike in the park...he's already in great shape it looks like But he has said he wants to do more "age-appropriate" things since he isn't as young as he used to be...where as Sly will be the Clint Eastwood of action films where his character really never is "old" even though the character may say "I'm gettin old" after he slaughters an entire army

You bitch.

Expendable , as deemed by society. Not that they should all die. I swear some of the folks that write for this site have their heads up their asses.

Rutger Hauer...Now!!

Nordling, WTF is with the sarcasm about Norris and Van Damme?
by Jack Desmondi
Stupid 80's references to these icons? Is that necessary. Personally, I'd love to see Chuck and Jean Claude on screen w/sly rather than "just hand me a check" Willis or "Maid Breeder" Schwarzennegar. Yes, Chuck is really getting up there in age, but he still is in great shape and Jean Claude is always fun to watch.
-
Chuck Norris. The End. Best Movie Ever.

....but thanks for complimenting my divinity ;)

You seem the type who'd give a decent reach-around, no small thing in these lesser times...

So now Schwarzenegger came crawling for a role in Expendsables 2. Post-governor carer is not going as good as he expected, hem?
by AsimovLives
Him as governor has to be the biggest blunder of his life.
-
But he's probably too expensive. Be nice to have some young bloods in there with the oldies-but-goodies. I enjoyed the first movie, but it was a little too B-movie for me. Like Sly tried TOO hard to make it 80's style dumb, and actually made it just too dumb. Still liked it though, just hoping for a better result in the sequel.
-
And getting f'ed by them !
-
figured they kind of went together... anywho...I got the insane amazing opportunity to actually talk with Arnold when my gf and I were visiting the capital and he was in that day...naturally she giggled...wait, scratch that...I giggled...and she asked him questions about his views on movies, acting, art, theater, and of course politics... I give the guy credit, in person he doesn't dance around answers...everything he said was just mindblowing...despite his record in office and people's views of him he's a really smart guy and knows what he's talking about....same can be said of the mean and untrue crap about Sly's mental capacity...both men are very unique and genuine and it was great talking with Arnold, even if it was for no more than 6 or 7 minutes. Finally...if by reacharound you mean you have a vagina and you're a hot girl, then yes I'd give you a very very comforting reach around...however, if you have a penis, the only reach around i'd do is to rip ur own dick off, where you'd pass out from the pain, then when you'd woken up you'd be eating your own brains Hanibal-style and since you would've know what was going on I'd convince you that it was a dildo you were butt-f*cking and enjoying, and not your own dick you were using.... But since ur cool and all I guess I'd just give ya a manly "atta boy!" on your rear.
-
wouldn't have know..wouldn't have known...not would've..ugh...dammit....arrrggg Hulk Smash!!!! On this topic...Anything more with Willis and Arnold is going to be fun...just like the movie was a fun trip to the movies which is just what my summer-going movie self wants to see

Would indeed be hysterical. Why the hell couldn't he play some beaurocratic weenie? He isn't very busy these days.
-
He's a Ninja...fuck, he's *the* ninja, throw a role his way for sure. Plus he still looked pretty healthy in that Ninja Assassin movie a couple years back. It's a shame that Brion James is no longer with us, he would have been a definite shoe-in for a bad guy role. Maybe they can dig up Mark Gregory...anyone remember him? He of the cheapie italian ripoff exploitation films - 1990: The Bronx Warriors, Escape 2000 (Bronx Warriors 2), the Thunder trilogy (itself a clear rip off of Stallone's Rambo), Ultimate Mission, Just a Damned Soldier, Delta Force Commando... - I mean they were mostly shit, and he couldn't act a lick, but when has that stopped anyone?

I'd like sly and arnie to race zimmer frames..seriously, they'll both be mid sixties, i'm sure they've got enough retirement money.
by Arkhaminmate001
The 1st movie was a 6/10 at best. A version with a cast under 50 would be fine, but OAP's playing soldiers is a bit sad. But i agree big Dolph was cool....he just needs a bigger role.

RALPH MACCHIO is the most GENIUS Expendables casting idea I have heard yet.
by GibsonUSA Returns
Like someone already said, have him be a fast-talking politician or something. Elisabeth Shue should play his wife. And make sure he kicks someone before the movie is over.
-
Gotta have them bad guys...
-
C'mon. He should be the main villain in this flick. He still kicks major butt and in great shape to boot!
-
Nuff said
-
That would be so frikkin' great! As much as I love Stallone, Jack would kill all those steroid monsters in a few minutes!
-
One thing i loved in The Expandables is that they had the classic South American villain who could not speak Spanish. That was hilarious.
