Chuck Norris And Jean Claude Van Damme Confirmed By Stallone Himself To Be In EXPENDABLES 2!
Nordling here.
The first EXPENDABLES movie doesn't seem to have anything on the new one. It's already going to have Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis in extended roles, and the return of Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, among others.
But now, the badass quotient just went up a few notches. Stallone confirmed to Entertainment Weekly what has been rumored for weeks - Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris are joining the cast, and Stallone even fights Van Damme in the film: "We’ll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one," he said in the interview. He also hints that Nicolas Cage and John Travolta might be joining the cast as well.
For some this may be too much, but I strongly disagree - this is the kind of movie that only works when it's not only over the top (yeah, I went there) but practically in the stratosphere. He's even talking about geting Michael Biehn and Michael Pare involved. If Stallone gets Kurt Russell to be in it I win Tough Guy Bingo.
Nordling, out.

Where the fuck is Steven Seagal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????
by crackerfarmboy
Give me a fucking answer!
-
Can't we at least get a cameo with him playing guitar in a seedy Mexican dive?
-
.. it was a silly testosterone fueled fueled 80's style action flick. No wire work, just things getting blown up really well and guys kicking each other's asses all over the screen.
Including JCVD and Norris could be a lot of fun, but if Willis and Arnie are getting their parts beefed up, there is only so much screen time to go around.
If the folks have more then a minute of face time and something integral to the story, fantastic! If not, work them into Expendables 3. ;-) -
DIABEETUS
-
FIFTY-one FIFTAAAAYYYYYYY!
-
HAHAHA, Just kidding!
-
How's that for over the top??
-
I'm down for some Biehn in that, with or without a 'stache. If Bruce Willis wasn't going to be the villain I would have said Stephen Lang. Avatar's so-so story notwithstanding he play's a hell of a villain.
-
and i want batshit crazy nic cage
-
He would be perfect as the guy who trained Sly, Arnold, and Rourke. That would put this right over the top.
-
....but if it works out, heard Donnie Yen may be in the film. I really hope so. Donnie Yen is just too awesome!!
-
Makes it the grand return of Thunderlips. "In the flesh, baby!"
-
from what I heard Van Damme signed on the condition that Seagal not be included in the film. They had an ugly showdown some years ago at Stallone's house. That's what I read.
-
Because that would be radical! Is it 1987 already?
-
teaching MMA fighters how to kick high.
-
Shatner. I'd fight William Shatner.
-
...it was all there; acting talent, creative writing, superlative direction...
... I think you know where this is going...
I'll get me coat... -
Steven Segal should drive a tank through the set and run over everyone and their puppies for excluding him. What... Too soon?
-
I was already anticipating this movie but this news just blew my mind! I haven't been this giddy about a movie in a LONG time.
Seagal would of course be cool and all but you gotta leave something for the 3rd (if we get that lucky). -
Sep 13, 2011 8:02:38 PM CDT
Steven Seagal would never be in these movies guys, him and Avi Lerner don't get along...

Do your research, Seagal and Lerner hate each other.

by la_sith
Seagal and Van Damme had a fight at Sly's? Unlike this piece of crap, I'd pay money to see that.
-
Just Kidding :p
-
In all seriousness....
I ACTUALLY AM!!!!! -
Segal,The Rock,Vin Diesl,Mel Gibbson,Kurt Russel and Jeff Speakman...and Reb Brown(maybe not Reb Brown)
-
And EXPENDABLES 2 wasn't going to be an action film, but an homage to IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD and CANNONBALL RUN.

The name that dare not be spoken by man S P E A K M A N MASTER of KENMPO or some shit that looks all slappy and weird.

or i'm not seeing it.
-
That was one thing I didn't like in the first film. The villains just weren't very good. I don't think Van Damme has played a bad guy since "Black Eagle" and if he can pull off that cold natured strong silent character, it just might work.

Villain wishlist for Part 3: Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs, Hugo Weaving and Bill Nihy
by jackslater4
-
...and call it a rap. I am sure he can still deliver a nice Crane to the face. Just saying.
-
But since nobody else will say it I will: the first one was terrible! Sly fucked up something that should have been a cake walk.
In fact, I'd say Sly is such a bad filmmaker you could use the analogy he could fuck up a steel bar in a patted room. -
You break my record, now I break YOU!!!!

The man could hold down an entire sequel all by himself.

seriously.. quite mediocre.
-
I'm not sure what you mean by Sylvester Stallone being a terrible filmmaker, his only mediocre film was Staying Alive, but Paradise Alley and Rocky II,III,IV and Balboa are all very good and enjoyable movies and also Rambo IV and The Expendables. Those are the films he actually directed and I would hardly say any of them are bad.
The Expendables is supposed to be cheesy and ridiculous like the 80s action movies it's paying tribute to so if you were expecting There Will Be Blood then you're a moron. The sequel sounds like it will be awesome. -

Here we go again, but - Michael Biehn, Al Leong, Sho Kosugi, Rutger Hauer, Cynthia Rothrock, Lance Henriksen, Kurt Russell, Chow Yun Fat, Peter Weller, Powers Boothe, Roddy Piper, Keith David, Kiefer Sutherland, Sam Elliott, Ernest Borgnine, and Michael I

And from the crazy and washed up brigade - Jan Michael Vincent, Gary Busey, Carl Weathers, and Sonny Landham.
So much testosterone, even the Virgin Mary would grow balls. -

Due to the concentration of propsterone in the cinema, half the women that see this will either leave the premises pregnant with babies pre-named Max Fightmaster and the other half will spontaneously sprout gonads and become men.

Whoaaaaa! This IS awesome news!!
Chuck Norris and Van Damn both being added to the cast of Expendables 2!
With the addition of Chuck...the badassness of this film just went up several notches!
I am wondering and hoping to hear more details from Stallone about the plot of the sequel...especially who is going to be the Villain(s).
Definitely looking forward to seeing this film when it comes out! -

It's a damn shame that none of the old guard are still with us...
by stegman84
Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, Lee Van Cleef, James Coburn, Charles Bronson - men who could cut you down with a fucking stare.
Well, okay, Eastwood is still around, but there's less chance of him being in this film than there is of me directing it, so... -
Stallone goes to hang up his jacket in the closet when out of nowhere, KAPOW Carradine nails him with a roundhouse. Cut to Stallone with a stiletto pump embedded in his eye socket.
-
Gary Busey as the GI POW they gotta go rescue from a POW Camp in Nam..
-
Better him than Travolta.
Cage is okay with me.
Certainly better than Travolta. -
Now bring on Steve Seagal, Jan Michael Vincent and Michael Ironside for a truly badass masterpiece of action!!!
-
Action Superstar of ANGEL TOWN fame!!!!!!!!!!!! Add him and this will be a SUPER DUPER movie!!!
-
this movie better have something as cool as fuck like the alps slo-mo shooting scene in "The Soldier"...everyone I know played it out with GiJoes. If your Gijoe was gonna kill your friend's Gi, and he pulled the alps 360 shoot, you could be the school bully...you just shut the fuck up and watch in respect, 'cause that was the checkmate "i don't give a fuck..you're dead" move. But there was always one fucker who didn't knew what had happened and said fucker argued that move was not possible on flat terrain..they never got asked to play again, or watch Nina Hartley on mute.
-

okay, I know Snipes is in prison (which is complete bullshit how long his sentence is, definitely cause he's black)
but seriously, sly can't get michael jai white, carl wethers, bill dukes, yaphet kotto, keith david, or mr. t?
I'm gonna make the black expendbles, cause seriously, this is just racust.

Where's Seagal, you ask? I just heard him getting fatter while eating his 100th donut of the night.
by ironeagle74
He plans to top off the donut binge with about 100 double cheeseburgers and 10 extra large milk shakes.
That's where Steven Segal is. He's a fat-ass who's getting fatter. -
Fuck. I hope he's not in it.
-
The badass quota is filled
-
THANK YOU SLY THANK YOU THANK YOU
-
Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, Jim Kelly and Jim Brown and Richard Roundtree thrown in for good measure? And Steve Guttenberg. Snicker.
-
Do ya hear me Stallone?? This movie NEEDS William Fucking Shatner!
And Eastwood too! -
Yeah, the two guys are dead, so what! Nobody sneers like Randall, love to see him up against Lundgren.

by elmolincoln
Filming right now, here's the IMDB link
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2039399/ -
Minority Action stars need not to apply. Fuck Stallone and his Rush Limbaugh worshiping old steroided ass.
-
hell, might as well throw Uncle Frank in there too!
-
He can play a Jack Ryan type President of the Good Ol' USofA.
-
Seriously though, the likes of Keith David, Richard Roundtree, Chow Yun Fat, Sho Kosugi, Al Leong, Danny Trejo, James Hong, Pam Grier, Mark Dacascos, Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa, Sonny Landham, Yaphet Kotto, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jackie Chan, Michael Jai White and so on could only add to the awesome.
-
Maybe he finally caught on with the racial jokes..
-
Bud Spencer with his bitch-slaps and Terence Hill with his fists.who is with me?
-
You'd have to be a squid not to hire them.
-
He deserves to be in it. His movie Drive is the stuff of legends and a real showdown with him and Jet Li woudl be the bomb unlike that wire fu shit they had to do. And piss off with Cage and Travolta. They are not action heroes.
-
I just want to see him get killed..
Nuff said.. -

by arkhaminmate001
Sad. Would have worked 20 years ago.
The first movie was pretty poor, it's only saving grace was big Dolph & stone cold steveo -
He's still hot from his cameo in Batman Forever.

Sep 14, 2011 3:48:03 AM CDT
Stallone will have everything...except plot, decent action scenes...
by executor
...good fight choreography, witty writing or lines, memorable characters...
The first Expendables was an embarrassment. Not one action scene or fight was better than (or even as good as) any throwaway B-movie Cinemax piece of shit, let alone even close to what we expect in cinemas today.
The only draw is the cast. But without anything else going for it, these movies are like when washed up singers end up at county fairs or malls warbling songs from 20 years ago with blown out voices. Starry eyed fans show up based on the name alone...and they don't get anything more than that. -
the reason they´re not together in this one is that JCVD and seagal had an argument in LA in front of a night club.
both of them were convinced that they could kick each others arse and were going for it.
only bodyguards kept em away from each other.
So when JCVD was asked to join the film he demanded Seagal to be excluded.
Douches -
A long time ago in a thread far far away I made a call on who would make great villains in a crazy action movie.
Those men were John Travolta and Nicholas Cage.
Playing brothers.
Playing badass brothers.
Playing BALD badass brothers.
MAKE IT HAPPEN! EXPENDABLES 2! GOD WILLS IT! -
executor, I think you're being overly harsh. You need to watch EXPENDABLES again with a more objective eye - it had probably close to a dozen action set-pieces and while a couple of them were a bit choppy and over edited most of them were actually really good.
Massive bodycount, plenty of gore, and some of the best pros in the business doing what they do best! I think you can criticize the film on script, pacing, plot but on action - by any reasonable standard - it delivered! -
...it needs to kick more ass, like Rambo 4 did. The first one was good fun and all but after that guy got blown in half (which was great) it just sort of wandered into PG-13 territory. A bit bloodless, a bit safe. I want this one to deliver on the promise of the first. The Expendables should be more Expendable, SOMEONE's got to die or they're just super-heroes and there's no tension. And please let's see some gibs. Because when you're toting that kind of firepower, there'd be gibs!
-
a soupcon of Sonny Landham.
-
Hi. Seagal feels the producer ripped him off on a previous film. You will not see S.Seagal in an Expendables film.
-
Vernon Wells, Mr T, Michael Ironside.
-
Because no one likes Danny Dyer except Danny Dyer. No one. At all. In the entire world.
Cue Danny Dyer going off his head in a mad rant calling me a cunt spanner or something while pointing out how much better an actor he actually is than 'shakespeare fags' like Ian McKellan and Kenneth Branagh. -
...Danny Dyer really is a massive prick. The only good thing he ever did was that "hard man" programme (not porn). And that was only good because he cried like a little girl. Not acting. Just crying. Ha ha, priceless! You know someone's an arsehat when you're happy to watch them in misery.
-
He tries his best to really please his fans. Can't wait for this.
-
Just saying
-
Actually they were at a party at Stallones house in the 90's, JCVD went up to seagal and called him out on the shit talking Seagal had been doing over the years. JCVD challenged Seagal to a fight. Seagal said he would but he didn't want to mess up Sly's house. Stallone overheard this and said "go ahead I don't mind". JCVD went out back to fight and Seagal slipped out the front door. Stallone has confirmed it on more than one occasion. I grew up loving Seagal and disliking JCVD, but he's a real dickbag .If you want a good Seagal story Google seagal and judo gene labell. Funny stuff.
-
I read that somewhere...
-
He bowls around like he's a "geezer", but he's about as hard as Angel Delight.
The one thing I will give him is he has an unreal fucking work ethic.
I remember seeing him in something like 8 films in the top 40 DVDs at my local supermarket.
He's either saving for his retirement (please God let it be soon) or he's got one HELL of a coke habit ...

Has the call gone out yet?

The dude was the only high point about Ninja Assassin. He's still got it!
-
Sure, it wasn't perfect. Sure, could've been better but I had a fun time with it, nonetheless. But I hope the second one will be better, especially with that cast. And I hope the Sly-Van Damme fight is gonna be a much more epic and visceral, better choreographed fight scene than the Lundgren-Li scene in the first one.
-
Al Leong MUST be in this-he's been killed by EVERY action hero several times over-let him die in this!!PLEASE!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Leong -
Totally shocked that anyone here even remembered him, but yeah, since they're already jumping the shark about a hundred times over, why not snag up Jeff Speakman too? He'd probably do it for less than what the catering asks for.
-
Please Sly, get him onboard!!

Ah! IMDb, he's done plenty, just nothing I've seen. That dude was harsh. He had a serpentine, calculating intelligence behind his eyes that always made me real uncomfortable. Perfect bad guy, bring him in Sly, his numbers up! -

Stallone has mentioned before how Van Damme and Seagal encountered each other in a party at Stallone's in 1996 or 1997. Do your research. Stallone said that Seagal backed down from Van Damme 3 times. Seagal was talking how he could kick Van Damme's a$$ and Van Damme confronted him and Seagal left and Van Damme(becoming pissed) went after Seagal at a night club and confronted him again and Seagal backed down. This happened again and Seagal refused at a different club.
I believe Van Damme sees Seagal as a hack and wants nothing to do with him. Moreover, Van Damme(real name: Jean Claude Van Varenburg) fought professionally and is a known European Kickboxing Champion and Seagal just studied/instructed in Japan.
Note: Sho Kosugi would be a nice add on but how many people are going to be in this? It'd have to be a 4 hour movie which I really wouldn't mind as long as their is an intermission. Can you imagine? An intermission to an action movie paying homage to 1980s gratutitus action films.
Sho Kosugi was the bad guy/instructor in Ninja Assassin filmed by James McTiegue a couple years ago.
Jeff Speakman would be sweet. I'd say pair him with Gary Daniels but didn't he die in the original Expendables?
Also, Michael Jai White -vs- Wesley Snipes. Both were in Undefeated series. -
With a mustache. Being all grizzled.
And it needs R Lee Ermey and Al fucking Matthews.
And a Seagal cameo would be motherfuckin' fantastic. Danny Trejo too.
-
It needs Sasha Grey and Jenna Haze in a strip club scene.
-
The first was definitely a let down but still an enjoyable experience. If they do away with the cg blood and get some different editors on this thing it could be epic.
P.S. It is awesome that Chuck Norris will be in this but wouldn't everyone just be dead within the first frame? Seriously, have you read some of the stuff this guy can do?
Oh, and fuck Seagal! -
I'm one of the few, however, that was a bit disappointed with the first movie. It was fun to watch and cool to see all those actors in the same movie but the story/script didn't really take advantage of the insane amount of testosterone laden star power. A missed opportunity to make a brain busting mega epic instead of something that was just sorta fan boy cool. I can understand that they probably didn't have the time/means/budget to build up the story though... I hope whatever they have planned for this one makes up for it.
-
One thing I couldn't get past the first film was Sly's Botox face.
He looked great in Rambo. Even if he had work done I couldn't tell.
Please Sly don't look so pretty in Exp. 2. Embrace the wrinkles, you'll look even more badass! -

by wes_hightower
This is the funniest talkback maybe I've ever seen -
cobb, you're right about the importance of a theme tune to a film like this. An Expendables theme, whether it be a rock track or purely orchestral.
Personally I would have put it front and center at the start of the movie (Sly if you're listening and still working on the Directors Cue...).
I'd have opened the movie with the Somalian pirate action scene - bang straight into it.
Then the credits with the theme tune (Bond style). -

Just please make it better than the first and the only way you can do that..
by moonlightdrive
is by giving the non-actors small roles (less screen time) and developing the characters of the action legends and giving them more screen time and plenty of great action scenes.
Run time of 2hrs 30 is fine by me. -
Sep 14, 2011 10:43:11 AM CDT
If done right this could be the empire strikes back. The first one sucked but had unbelievably awesome shit towards the end.
by ultratron
Just 2 hours of unbelievably awesome with these established characters please. That fucking meat grinder gun from the first movie and the way Stallone fights is just freaking spiderman. He's decided to go out fighting that old bastard. That's really 70 year old Stallone moving that fast. They didn't over-crank him or enhance it. He's the most inspiring motherfucker of all time
-
Sep 14, 2011 10:43:16 AM CDT
Or a great action director: Timur Bekmambetov PLEASE!!!!!

out of those three I'd actually like Trejo the most. He's so great as a bad guy.
Can't wait for him in Sons of Anarchy this season. -
...Chong Li gotta eat...and the comment way up above about Eastwood being the 'grandpa/trainer' of the group is SPOT THE FUCK ON!

Strike first, strike hard, no mercy. And he still looks like a badass.

How about Mel Gibson? now that his acting career is in the sink?
by killik

-
Sly plus Shane together. You know you want it.
-
He was fantastic in `The Rock`-let's get him out of retirement for one last hurrah!
-
This is amazing casting news. Any one of those guys in the first Expendables had more testosterone in his little pinky than any of the "action stars" today. The fight between Stallone and stone cold? Killer. Can't wait for this!

Needs Wesley Snipes to balance out the repub celebs like Carlos Norris.
by stalkeye
Or especially Kurt "King" Russell who played a bad ass action hero before all these fuckers. (that, and he's a Libertarian.LOL)
I'm down with Mel's casting only if his role consist of being a Neo Nazi villian (All Nazis are villians. duh!) with some grand scheme to rid the world of "undesireables'.
Would love to see an appearance from Hauer while re-prhasing his lines: "I have a long arm, and am prepared to strike my enimies wherever they are." Wulfgar was the shit back then.
Speakman? yes Jeff Wincott and/or Oliver Grunner? fuck outta hea!

Connery? too old, unless he's confined to a Bond-esque wheelchair that fires rockets, hovers mid air and other fancy shite.

WA-A-Y too much is frickin' awesome! Bring it on!
-
The latter definitely fits.
-
'nuff said.
-
The first film was wretched. Stallone is bat shit crazy and deluisonal.
-
Starring Wilford Brimley and Abe Vigoda with the dancing old guy from the amusement park commercials as the villain.
-
Would be fun, but the whole gig with "Expendables" is that these are has-been, "expendable" former stars. What Terry Crews was doing in there is anyone's guess. Subbing for Wesley, I guess. But I asked MJW about working with Seagal, and he basically said he felt sorry for the guy--old, fat, and a legend in his own mind. Specifically about his martial arts ability, MJW said: "he's a good choreographer."

Maybe I miss the point, maybe action movies aren't meant to have even the teensiest semblance of a script.
by _nerfee_
If that is so; then The Expendables was a two-thumbs-up, 100% unqualified success.
But if a decent script and dialogue that doesn't actually hurt your ear-canals with it's lumpen awfulness isn't too much to expect, then Expendables was just awful. Really, really bad. Terrible. -

Sly should make a crossover series: The Exp vs Zombies,The Exp vs Vampires,
by killik
The Exp vs Aliens Invaders,The Exp vs famous movie monsters,The Exp vs famous movie serial killers,etc.
And in every movie,he should refresh the Exp's cast with various famous action stars. -
By the time 1997 rolled around, both Seagal and Van Damme were well on their way to straight-to-video hell. Van Damme was also younger than Seagal and would probably have kicked his ass if Seagal took him on the challenge. Between the two actors; I definitely say Van Damme could have landed himself a more serious role later on in life while Seagal is still stuck playing cops out for revenge for the billionth time.
-
LMFAO... that should actually be a warning on the posters and in the trailers. Actually, the trailer should just be a 10 second super fast edit of all the guys making "i gotta take a shit" faces with the sound of gunfire and then that warning. Or have the warning first, then the shit faces.
-
Yeah, keep up the bad ass flicks Sly.

Bloodsport reunion showdown with him and jcvd!

This awesome news, now we need the American Ninja

Tom Cruise?
-
, beating his wives (married 5 times and accused of spousal abuse in the 90's), and having bipolar disorder, but I doubt this Belgian half a fag could take Segal in a fight. I'm guessing Steven mopped up Sly's kitchen floor with the Brussle Muscle..
-
Michael Jai White too just so they can fight Terry Crews!(if Crews is confirmed and im not sure he is )
-
Didn't his ass die in the last movie? So either there won't be any continuity or he somehow survived.

So it's the "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" for action stars?
by ricarleite4
Can we have Hulk Hogan do a cameo running over Stallone's hat?
-
You need a worthy bad guy masterminding this?
There you go. -
Yes, The French Connection's, Uncommon Valor's and USMC's Gene Hackman. He could be the guy who trained Sly, Bruce and Arnie if Eastwood can't/won't do it.
-
Yeah!
He could play the sinister henchman with the wicked Fu Manchu moustache.
FUCK YEAH! -
The target's under a big dubya.
-
like Vin Diesel or the Rock
-
Every year current and former spec ops troops get together. That would be the best way to have so many cameos in the movie.
-
WOULD HAVE KICKED EVERYBODY'S ASS, STOMPED A MUD HOLE IN THEM AND THEN WALK IT DRY IF THEY WERE STILL ALIVE! WHERE'S BOLO?
-
He kicked the Predator's azz! Where's the respect Sly?
-
He's bestfriends with justin bieber. He got private Kung Fu lessons from Jackie Chan and this is the respect he gets!
-
THANK YOU MR.STALLONE. I NOW HAVE A REASON TO LIVE. THIS MOVIE IS NOW MY REASON TO CONTINUE LIVING!!!!!

Totally Awesome...now bring on a cameo with Steven Seagal and you've got checkmate!
by ninpobugei
-
I've actually seen that. Nothing like having a pommel horse show up in the middle of an ancient city when you need it.
-
but it had its moments, and I'm definitely up for another attempt. I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned 13 Assassins which, while not perfect, was an engaging men-on-a-mission film that took its politics seriously, created the need for the mission organically, and set-up its characters well. Not all were particularly well-rounded, but they each had their moment in the sun and you genuinely cared. That's the recipe Stallone should be aiming for.
Of course, one problem is that Stallone's cast is a bunch of guys built for hand-to-hand and, let's be fair, that's exactly what we want to see. But how do you achieve that realistically, when everyone in the film will doubtless be armed to the teeth? A couple of disarmings maybe, but you can't have magically disappearing weapons everytime an 'end-of-level' boss arrives on screen! -
The new action star. Can deliver the goods in leaps and bounds and also a recognized actor in his own right...Oh and Marko Zaror.. Holy crap he is good.. Check out Miragman for a genius superhero film

I know his metabolism has slowed down to a crawl but that doesn't mean he can't at least look like he made the effort to be leaner. Stallone is older than Seagal and he still looks like he's built like a brick. Seagal can play the role of the fat boss who doesn't do much else but barks out order to his henchmen.
-
Because he doesn't work out for fat loss. He works skill, sure. But the frustrating thing about martial arts (or any skill) is that the better you get, the less effort it takes to do it. So his skills are maintained, or maybe improved, but he simply doesn't get the workout.
Metabolic conditioning demands whole-body exertion for sets of sprints. Hard work. Seagal likes his pasta, and he doesn't like working out. Pity. He coulda been a contender. Yeah, he could kick my ass in a closed room, but give me room to run and I'd gas him in sixty seconds. -
Yo Michael, you wanna do dis mooby wit me and get kicked in da face again?

I never got around to seeing the first one, and heard it was a bit underwelming
by rebel scumb
But I have a feeling the 2nd one may be worthwhile, especially with the aforementioned expanded roles for Arnie and Willis, plus the inclusion of van damme and Norris, seems more in keeping with the original idea of getting all of these icons of action together.
Even weirder that 10 years ago this is basically what Tarantino was saying inglorious basterds would be (although that movie is awesome regardless) -
Michael Ironside, Scott Glenn would also be cool to see in this.
-
IS TONY JAA AND DONNIE YEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets see some Conan (MuthaFrickin) Stevens...
The Mountain that Rides - Gragor Clegane in The Game of Thrones season 1
7'1" 320# of Beef. He would eat all these other for 2nd Breakfast or maybe Elevensies... -

I'd LOVE me some Borgnine too and Hackman. To have him back would be legendary.
by moonlightdrive
-
Although Cage would be an incredible bad guy. Busey would be great as a henchman too.
-
doesn't go anywhere near this franchise, it'll be okay... He's already driving one Titanic towards an iceberg!
