The New EXPENDABLES Movie Adds A Badass New Cast Member!!
Cinema Online says the awesome Jackie Chan will appear in the third EXPENDABLES movie. Apparently, Sly offered him a role in the franchise's second installment...but Chan declined due to prior commitments.
...But he did extend his invitation to the third movie, which I agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more than just a minor role with a few scenes," said Chan.
Chan added that he had revealed to Stallone that he hoped the third installment of the franchise would run along the lines of a 'buddy-buddy' movie should Chan be starring in it, which the "Rambo" star obliged...
...reveals Cinema Online HERE! I've enjoyed both EXPENDABLES films thus far. I prefer the Director's Cut of the first one to its theatrical version...and had a blast with the second one, although I'm not sure it landed all attempts at humor. Such misgivings aside...I do very much look forward to a third go-round, and imagine Chan will be an amazing addition to the casting mix.

Hopefully, they won't tame Chan's fighting down like they did Li's.
by CodeName
-
Wasn't Chan approached for a Rambo film and dropped out due to the level of violence and having an image to protect?
-
he wants to turn it into Rush Hour 4 or whatever. What a has-been douchebag. He should have quit years ago when he was awesome, now he's a joke.
-
Not that his presence could salvage this awful, albiet well intentioned franchise.
-
otherwise, no sale.

Perfect! But I hope Van Damme comes back as a zombie!
by The Reluctant Austinite
Van Damme rocked "Expendables 2." Maybe he can back as a Universal Soldier zombie in the third one!
-
Weathers,Seagal and Dudikoff are now the only missing pieces,so I hope they got Chan for the 3rd.
-
Dec. 17, 2012, 11:51 a.m. CST
it'd be easy to read this as ego, but I think its more that Chan wants to make an actual movie rather than a senseless mashup of cameos like that 2nd one

they also must add eddie murphy, stephen baldwin, brian bosworth, and ice-t, and make larry david the new bad guy
by Barnald

Don't like the sound of that. How can it be a buddy movie? Meant to be ensemble bad ass. I agree with Chan, Rush Hour was not very good - why try copy that?
-
Dec. 17, 2012, 11:54 a.m. CST
Jeff Speakman??? WTF! lol, you may as well add William Zabka to the list.
by peter
I mean 'Perfect Weapon' was the shit and all but I wouldn't exactly class him as a bad ass action star.
-
Wesley Snipes needs to play the villian in this one. And Jet Li needs more screen time.
-
It's not all about the action and one liners. I mean.. use predator as the blueprint! EX 2 looked very cool, but failed because it had no story whatsoever. Reminds me of that old Stephen King quote: "There's a lot to like about it. But it's a great big beautiful Cadillac with no motor inside." Even Commando had a story... right!?

They Live alone is enough, but he was also in Hell Comes to Frogtown!
-
I was forced to sit through each of them at the time of their release in order to appease a family member (my brother-in-law, who happens to be a police officer). As bad as the first one is, the second one caused me physical pain. Each aged cliche and overused catchphrase had me writhing in agony. There's nothing clever or entertaining to be found.
-
I'd be pissed if I were the other cast members. I like(d) Jackie, but he hasn't done much worth mentioning in the past several years. Why would Sly give in to one person's demands when he has so many other awesome pieces in the movie? Not a fan of this news...
-
I heard this was the chatback for buddies. Heheheheheheheheheh.
-
this sucks
-
and i've stayed true to my word! fan of all these greats back in the day, but please dont shovel me shit and pretend its fucking swiss chocolate. I guess its horses for courses as some talkbackers are obviously scat fans.
-
Say what you will about the first one, but it at least made an attempt to tell a story. The second could've been called "Cameo: The movie" I love Sly, so, naturally I will buy the BluRay, but still... I liked the more serious tone of the first one much more than the jokey tone of the second.
-
buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy movie? Also - why do these pictures look so good on paper, but rubbish in execution. I want a genuine men on a mission movie - not all this nudge, nudge wink wink stuff.

I've only seen the second one, but it was just lame. Can't imagine how bad the first one is, if part 2 is the better one.
by hank henshaw
-
His "cameo" was the only one that felt useless and irrelavant to the plot. They could have done better than to wedge Chuck Norris in just for the sake or wedging Chuck Norris in.

Dec. 17, 2012, 12:33 p.m. CST
waaaaaaaaah, no story... Then go watch Lincoln or Fuck it Ralph
by Pipple
I thought people got the point by now that these movies are not about subtle story telling. They're old fashioned 80s action movies. The kind that used to air on tv all the time back in my day. How many countless movies has Arnold starred in that were just excuses to have him running jumping and flexing his muscles while things blew up? But I love that shit. Made me want to get the big muscles I have today. Shit, I don't go to a porno shop and complain about there not being any copies of Home Alone available do I? Have some common sense... damn....
-
I know the whole gimmick is who's in it, but that first one was a decent movie because Sly's a good director. Simon West is um... really not. IDK if Sly wants to direct again or if they're gonna try to dig up somebody like McTeirnan. Too bad George P. Cosmatos aint with us.
-
Dec. 17, 2012, 12:36 p.m. CST
Why are they still making these movies? They're in some serious denial. Just go out gracefully, oh wait they can't act gracefully, they can't even act.
by NorthTronic
this was cool in the 80's......not anymore.

Stallone went from writing a masterpiece like Rocky to this utter shit. Depressing.

Jackie Chan as the villain of the piece would be too much to hope for, wouldn't it?

I mean, hey, if JCVD could do it...

Dec. 17, 2012, 12:46 p.m. CST
The only reason to have Chan is to have some epic fight scenes
by Bass Ackwards
So they better bring in his choreographers, and give them months to work that shit out. If it ends up being more of the lazy, slapped together action sequences we've already seen in Expendables, then don't bother. Watching people stand/crouch around and shoot guns at each other while things around them blow up isn't as exciting as it was in the 80s.
-
♫ ... even Rocky had a montage.♫
-
Now just get a decent scriptwriter instead of the window licking fucking spaztard that wrote the last one. I spent the whole time thinking wtf?? Even i could have thought up better lines!! I liked Rocky Balboa and even Rambo, but come on now Stallone..fucking grow up!!
-
These movies are a blast. What are you expecting? They succeed at what they're attempting. JCVD was a pretty memorable villain. He roundhouse kicks a knife into somebody's heart. I think that's pretty badass. Wish Swayze was still alive to participate. RIP Dalton, hope you finally catch that big one. Please get batshit crazy Nic Cage as the villain in EXP3.
-
but I'm glad I said it first!
-
Since Li was dropped into parts unknown and never heard from again in 2, I'd imagine Stallone and the others will have to go help him and Chan out in 3. Just a guess. There is plenty of room in a story like that for all the characters to shine if it's handled properly.
-
and while your at it add Don "The Dragon" Wilson to the list.
-

The Expendables 2 was comparable to the Evil Dead 2
by I_Snake_Plissken
I did appreciate with the first film that Sly was actually trying to make a genuine throwback 80's action film. The sequel ramped the camp factor way. way up - I guess too fairly good results for what it was. The money shot sequence with Stallone, Willis, and Arnie was a lot of fun, but the banter was over the top even for this genre. The worst part of the Expendables 2 was Chuck Norris - his "acting" made Dolph Lundgren look like an academy award winning thespian. And too this day, I'm not sure what's wrong with Van Damme's face, but it's clear he was wearing sunglasses for a good reason.

Fuckin genius.

Animated prequel EX;Bruce Lee,Steve McQueen,Richard Roundtree,Sean Connery,Lee Majors,Burt Renoylds and William Shatner.
by Cedric Ford
-
The third needs way more terry cruise, Seagal & Sho Kosugi
-
shatner! okay, he's not an action "hero," but he IS an icon related to the action genre. shatner being the "boss" of some group of expendables would be too great.
-
Weathers wanted to be in"Rocky Balboa", Stallone told him to fuck off, of course, because his character was dead, so Weathers refused Sly permission to use any clips of Apollo Creed to be used as flashbacks.
-
...I believe Al Leong and Michael Wincott(check out his evil bastard-ness in `The Crow`)should be among the bad guys!
-
Dec. 17, 2012, 2:31 p.m. CST
I actually hated every bit Chuck Norris was on screen - honestly he has been ruined for me ever since I realized that he's a crazy right wing fundie Christian
by Joey Stars
I honestly don't care my favorite actors are Republican, Arnie, Eastwood, Bruce Willis, that's fine. But when you start getting all fundie Christian with the pro-guns, fervently trying to ban gays from the Scouts and advocating for the bible to be taught in the classroom, you realize you're childhood hero is kind of a dick
-
have not seen the second, sort of liked the first, like this idea I'll admit, most of my Jackie Chan was watching his TV program when my son was small. I think his only movie I've seen was the Around the World remake, which was a so-so movie
-
i fast forwarded through most of the first, is the second even worth watching?
-
Should be in these things. He actually has a sense of humor and the guns to boot. Why is Stallone asleep at the wheel on this one?
-
Dec. 17, 2012, 2:48 p.m. CST
And forget about Jackie Chan. He was a good athlete, nothing else. He has no good movies on his filmography.

Will Stallone pull up in a smart car and Chan will say, "Could have had a V8?"...and thats the level of humor that these movies stoop to.
by openthepodbaydoorshal
-
Clint Eastwood!
-
You jest surely. Check out the Police Story films for example. Hong Kong films are rather broad to western audiences and the jokes don't always translate but Jackie did some amazing stuff. Those films have so much energy and the stunts are real. His Hollywood films are awful though and best ignored.
-
Dec. 17, 2012, 4:18 p.m. CST
HOW ABOUT bring Van Damme back and have him have a real final fight with Stallone rather than the one-sided Stallone ego fest we were fed in Expendables 2?
by The Krypton Kid
Stallone beating Van Damme down so thoroughly was complete BS. Jean Claude freaking Van Damme should have dominated him.
-
Really enjoyed both the ex movies and would really be on board for a third, except I don't want Jackie Chan coming on board as Slys RUSH HOUR best buddy. Slys right hand man is Lee Christmas aka Statham, don't replace the fucking awesome of the Stath with the family friendly Chan. Best moment of EX2 is Stath in priest robes stabbing the shit out of all the Serbian bad guys like a Sith. Preceded by the immortal line, I now pronounce you man and knife! Chan can fuck off.
-
Dec. 17, 2012, 4:26 p.m. CST

Krypton kid, yes Van Damme was awesome in EX2, a good villain to stand up against the whole ensemble of action icons. They've used up Eric Roberts and Van Damme, who can they get for the villain in EX3?

Sounds fuckin riveting in any case.

Word is the producer let it slip that Jean Vilain's twin brother Claude Vilain will appear in the next film, which is a rif on Van Damme frequently playing twins/doubles in his films.

Tom Atkins Kurt Russel Carl Weathers Frank McRae Donald Gibb Brian Thompson Bruce Campbell Robert Z'Dar Bill Duke Rutger Hauer Kane Hodder Bolo Yeung John Saxon Alice Cooper (Cause he's fucking awesome) But seriously Sly. The Barbarian Bros... Yeah, they winked back at the Action Hero Genre. Honoring them is like Heavy Metal bands and the community honoring Spinal Tap (Which it absolutely does with guilltless pride) It needs to happen.

his acting was always that bad. That's why all of his movies were B action movies. Chuck Norris was never in any blockbuster action movies. You watch Chuck Norris for one reason, to see him kick ass not to watch his terrible acting.

They have enough people already. Focus on the script and action, not who you can cram in.
by Charlie
I think they've set it all up fine. Got enough people. They really need to focus on what the story would be, what the action would be. Take it to the next level and then see where they have room for more people. I enjoyed both films. However the second one seemed to kind of cram too many people in. I'd be down for Mel Gibson, Nicholas Cage. Chan... eh the guy from the Tuxedo? lol
-
Get the Gringo was pretty decent if you never saw it. He's a guy with problems, but who doesn't. He's his own worst enemy. I always find it odd though with his rant, that no one remembers the context or what it was about. It's one of those things, how everyone forgets his tirade while over the top and inappropriate for sure. The whole thing about Jews and Wars was about Israel having just started bombing the shit out of suburbs in Lebanon. Which no one remembers or cares about. But Mel Gibson's drunk rant about it is what they remember, forgetting the context. While the language was racist sounding, the fact is, people do often refer to the Jewish nation as Jews not Israelis. Even if it's not appropriate and he was off his face drunk. I always just find it odd, and I am not excusing it at all, but no one remembers he was ranting and upset about a a country bombing another country. Also, correct me if i'm wrong, didn't the cop say some shit to him which set him off on that line? About the Passion or something?

Expendables 3 should be Sly, Statham, Chan, and company against a squad of ruthless FEMALE villains. <BR><BR> Maybe Sigourney Weaver as the villain leader, with Gina Carano as her butt-kicking deputy, and Michelle Yeoh in there too. They command an army of male henchmen. <BR><BR> I loved Expendables 2. My main criticism doesn't have anything to do with the movie itself. It has to do with the advertising campaign. The advertising for EX2 looked waaaaaaaaay too much like the advertising for EX1. The letters, the tone of the commercials...the advertising for EX1 and EX2 were identical.<BR> EX3 should feel like an Expendables movie, but it should also feel different. The tv commercials for the movie need to look different this time! And I think adding a squad of females as the badguys would enhance the feeling of the sequel being different.

Yes, asian movies of J. Chan were fun to watch and the stunts were real and amazing, but there were not good movies (for me). But that was 20 years ago. And I agree about the sense of humor. In every country is different, and in each person too. I find asian humor (with all the respect) kind of stupid, but that's just me. Thanks mate,

Now you understand why Reb Brown deserves à part
-
He has directed 4 movies: 3 masterpieces and one OK movie. I was salivating when I first hear about the vikings project, with Di Caprio on board. But is a shame... I totally understand Mel Gibson actions. I hear the phone calls he did to her ex-wife russian bitch and they were scaring as hell, but I can put in his shoes. Cause I did something like he did with one ex-girlfriend of mine. After 4 years, (and I was crazy in love with her) I found her with another guy doing sex. It was a total surprise, I didn't expect it. And I was always faithfull, respectfull and caring to her. When I found them I wanted to kill them... both. But I was strong enough to don't do that. Later I found that she had been two months with that guy as a lover, meanwhile she was my official girlfriend. At that time I was in the police academy with a lot of preassure. That episode change my views and my entire personality. It was horrible. One day I phoned her and I acted like Mel Gibson did in the phone with the russian bitch who recorded the phone call. What a bitch!! I totally understand Mel Gibson. 6 years later, the hate for my ex and the motherfucking guy (who also had a girlfriend at the time and today is married with that same poor girl) is still alive... and stronger. But revenge is a sweet feeling, and is funnier for the avenger when more time passes on and catch in surprise to the victims of the avenger. And, please, no one worrie. I'm not talking about taking lives, there're other things that can hurt much more and are totally legal... And I'm rotten inside, but still waiting for my moment. And I am a clever guy. Is sad, but that's one of the goals to achive in my life, along with others more less negative and centered in my career, my loved ones and my happines. Infidelity should be a crime with punishment on jail, but is difficult to demostrate. Infidelitty hurts people more than a thousand punches in the face. Trust me. I heard, too, the recording of Joe Eszterhas's traitor son. And Mel acted nuts with reason. In one year, the stupid creator of basic instinc had'nt writte a single word of his work. He played with the time, the work and the illusions of Mel. And yes, Mel has (or I hope, had) big issues with alcohol. And some mental problems of ansietty or depression, that makes him easily irritable. And who dosen't in some moment of the life?!? In fact to live happy in this world of competitivity and inequality, were a child dies every 2 minutes in differents parts of this rock, you must be stupid, hipocrite or a son of a bitch. And we close our eyes to all the shit and the suffering of other people. That's not crazy??? And Mel has not kill anyone or steal or molested to some childs (hello Woody Motherfucking Allen). So give Mel Gibson a second chance!! And he'll give us a second chance for a new genious masterpiece and his great charisma. The worl needs the art of Mel Gibson. Thanks and sorry for my english grammar.

These movies are so bad they're good and then turn bad again.......
by cameron
The combination of no script, seriously over the hill action heros (is there anything sadder) terrible acting and pretty cheap FX, makes this franchise a wonder of marketing.....A 3rd movie srly?!?!?!

They need to have the GAY badguy villian from Commando in this!
by scrapplejoe
That dude was epicly gay!

But, you can’t talk about the amazing gayness of Commando without mentioning Bennett. In fact, if I ever go back to school, my thesis will detail how the late twentieth/early twenty-first century embracing of homosexuality stems from Vernon Wells’ portrayal of this particular character. After I’m done, West Hollywood will be renamed “Vernon Wells.” Where to even start… Bennett spends nearly the entire movie wearing the following outfit: Leather pants A black, sleeveless T-shirt A chain mail vest A large belt that turns said chain mail into a little skirt Fingerless leather gloves A dog chain choker A flat top A push broom moustache A leather belt that he wore around the chain mail vest, making it seem as if he were wearing a skirt. Yes, I stated this point earlier, but holy fuck does it need repeating! Basically your standard leather-daddy getup, minus the cop hat. His Australian accent doesn’t help things, either. For no apparent reason, Bennett exclaims, “John, I’m not going to shoot you between the eyes. I’m going to shoot you between the balls.” Money shoot him between the balls…

Agree with others: Weathers, Dudikoff and Seagal

or GTFO.

He acts a little swishy and he orders that fruity drink in the first movie...
-
More Jet and Snipes. The first two blade movies are dsrn near perfect. Make him a badass. Kill some expendables. The movie would have more weight if someone besides the"new guy" bites it.

Braveheart = life time pass. Drink up aussie

Sheer.awesomeness. Makes american action movies look stoopid. Great comment mr poon. I highly recommend it to any action fan. 5 stars

Everybody kows here, I cannot share. My story is more complex than what I said before. Nothing is just black or white. But keep it cool, is something that won't make me in trouble with the law (I know about it), and, of course, there will be no blood. But if you ask because you're in the same situation I'll tell you this: Try to live your life and be happy. Always help the others if you can in any way and respect everybody else, but if some one fucks with you, you better give it back, man. Go always with your head up and proud. And if you find joy with the revenge and the suffering of your enemies (people who destroy your life in a very very bad way), as me, keep yourself cold. Calm. Do your things. And wait... The time, sooner or later, will come. And as more time passes by, thanks to the surprise factor, the damage that you'll do stronger it will be... Damm, I'm reading myself and I look like a pshyco! LOL Anyway, my people knows about it. So, easy. And I better prefer not to talk anymore about me in here. Was a mistake. Take care bobo_vision!! ;)

"Ill be in it as long as it's not a small part like it was written and I want it to be more of a comedy buddy movie than what was written and what the general vibe of the whole franchise thus far has been." I've just never been a huge fan of Chan. Of course, the early stuff was awesome at times, like Drunken Master's last half hour, his shit has just become comedy. It's slapstick action, and it got old a loooong time ago, back around the time Chris Tucker was yankling 20 million a movie.. In other words, he doesn't fit the franchise. I know Sly wants that name in the trailer, and Chan is likely pretty high on Sly's checklist but is there enough room up on that screen for Jackie Chan's ego? The most obvious missing piece is The Rock. There are a lot of smaller names that definitely would look nice flahing by in the trailer, but I think a good juicy scenery chewing villian role for Dwayne Johnson is the way go.
-
David Morrisey lol, this movie needs a governor. Obviously: Kurt Russell, Keith David, Seagal, Lance Henrickson as a baddie, John Cena as long as he doesnt speak, Ron Perlman (he's never said no to anything), someone up ther said Wiolliam Zabka: YES!!!! ha ha, Jesse Ventura, Keitel. Shit...any of those are better than Chan, imo.
-
..you get to reading the talk back. 95% of you come off as the stereotypical geeks behind the computer in mommys basement. There's not one topic that is talked about seriously. Just a bunch of lame jokes directed at people who do everything better then you. Pathetic
-
Well that was an interesting read.. I think the phrase you are searching for is "..revenge is a dish best served cold.." Good luck exacting your vengeance...
-
Honestly.... he's good at jumping through the rungs of a ladder - but badass?!
-
Seriously, I'm not really sure why people feel like Sly needs to plumb the depths of the direct-to-video market, to cast his Expendables movies. Guys like Speakman and Dudikoff would be on the level of henchmen that get killed off in the first half hour of the movie, compared to the rest of the cast. Steven Seagal has a place in the lineup but come on. What, Michael Dudikoff and Keith Vitali help Sly infiltrate the secret Ninja tournament run by Sho Kosuji and his sons?

In all honesty, for those complaining about the authenticity of an 80's throwback that "wouldn't" fit a Chan-style scenario...
by CodeName
Chan was at his peak in the 80's-90's. For those of you who want Expendables 3 to faithfully replicate the 80's feel of yesteryear, Chan would school Stallone and company on how to lift up a spoon to simply sip on soup. Did his own stunts: Chan>Sly. Enough said.

Every single article on this site for the last few years has been lifted from a site such as Darjk Horizons, etc. The staff here doesn't even pretend that they are delivering scoops, they openly state in each article that they cut and pasted from a site that reported the "news" before AICN. So, my question is........if you hate the TB's with such venom, why are you here?
-
Your screen name did make me smile, though. Tarantino is no Daniel Day Lewis, but his delivery of that line is perfection
-
Hell Ya! I think Chan can do wonders in Expendables 3. That is going to be one hell of a memorable film.
-
mmmm, if he's back considering he died in the movie, perhaps he will play Jean Villain's twin brother, Claude Villain? :P
-
The first 2 were boring enough without trying to milk it even further.
-
so whats the big deal? these filmakers are not your mates, brothers, sisters, family...so who cares what they are like in person. the movies should standalone
-
he is a living legend.
-
But then again, I guess since he isn't an old man yet he can't be in it.
-
and improved handling of the large cast. Jackie chan and a desire for a buddy flick will not help with either of these things. I like Jackie but keep him out of the the expendables unless he is willing to play against type (which evidently he is not).
-
Thanks, dude ;)
-
Totally agree. That sequence in the intro with Jet Li and the cast iron pots was the best of the entire film--hell the entire series. Jackie is more than capable of this type of action sequence but is stuck in keep-repeating-whatever-works-mode. He thinks he has to be in East/West buddy films to be successful in the U.S and he couldn't be more wrong. I love the first two Rush Hour movies but they are nothing compared to "Rumble in the Bronx", which has nary an Owen Wilson or a Chris Tucker in sight. Chan needs to play it serious!
-
And yes, Sharon could still have a great shower scene, couldn't she?
-
win, wink.

Because nobody gives a shit. I didn't like those dumbfuck movies in the 1980's when they first came out. I sure as fuck don't want to see a bunch of 60'year olds loaded up with Human growth hormone doing now. The only Arnold Movies I liked were his Sci Fi fantasy ones. Arnold had exactly one interesting action movie that was not sci fi or fantasy in the 80's: Commando. He had another one in the 1990's: True Lies. The rest of his stuff was Comedy or Crap. (Or, in some cases, both Comedy AND crap). I hated the fuck out of Sly Stallone movies. I think I actually only saw one of them in the theaters -- Judge Dredd. I MAY have seen Rockie III, but I can't specifically remember. I sure as hell fuck never saw a Jean-Claude van Damme movie in the theater (I probably saw his shit on cable when it popped up). Nobody was clamoring for this shit. And, as evidenced by the underwhelming US box office, nobody in the US gives a shit. This is being made strictly for the foreign markets where these old fossils still have cache and this kind of movie -- no matter how utterly shitty -- still sells.
-
I actually saw -- for sure -- TWO Stallone movies in the 1980's: Judge Dredd and that dumbass sci fi movie he made where Wesley Snipes was a bleach-blonde villain.
-
hesoid, another correction for you.. EXPENDABLES took $275 million, and EXPENDABLES 2 took $312 million. Thats not underwhelming - thats a goddamn goldmine motherfucka.
