yesssss by THE_ONE_MAN_GANG	Dec 13th, 2008 11:15:35 AM

and first by THE_ONE_MAN_GANG	Dec 13th, 2008 11:16:14 AM

That is cool news indeed. You know who else would rock in this? by Frisco	Dec 13th, 2008 11:24:35 AM
Benny "The Jet" Urquidez! Man, a Benny vs. Jet Li fight would melt faces and perhaps spur Sammo, Jackie, and Yuen to finally work together on another movie again.
That gurgling sound... by DocPazuzu	Dec 13th, 2008 11:35:14 AM

GREAT CAST. JUST ADD SHIA LEBEOUF by BringingSexyBack	Dec 13th, 2008 11:39:33 AM

This movie will shoot man juice in your eyes in 2009! by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 13th, 2008 11:40:35 AM
Trying to come up with some variant on the Avatar eyeball fucking. Failed. P.S This sounds like my dream movie. Or, at least it will if it's got some naked Oriental chicks in it.

But where is the STRONG FEMALE LEAD? by Immortal_Fish	Dec 13th, 2008 11:44:46 AM
Way too many muscular men in this flick. Haven't any of these people realized that action movies have been all about gurl powah for the last 10-years? Epic fail. /sarcasm
Holy shit!! Where the fuck did this movie come from!? by The Gospel According to Bastardface	Dec 13th, 2008 11:46:58 AM

couture = star. by shoveller	Dec 13th, 2008 11:49:17 AM

IAmMrMonkey...please, naked "ASIAN" girls... by FlickaPoo	Dec 13th, 2008 12:37:41 PM
...not "oriental" girls. They can be tied up a bit too....just a little bit. If they need to be. But we will refer to them CORRECTLY as Asian.
Immortal_fishes by buffywrestling	Dec 13th, 2008 12:38:40 PM
Pretty sure I could kick your ass/ sarcasmic fail
This needs Arnie and Jeff Speakman by picardsucks	Dec 13th, 2008 12:43:29 PM
WHO KILLED KWONG???????????????
Sorry FlickaPoo by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 13th, 2008 12:54:53 PM
If I said 'Asian' girls, that means it could include some lovely Indian ladies. As much as I like the lovely Indian ladies, I prefer Chinese/Korean/Thai chicks and shall therefore refer to them INCORRECTLY as Orientals. Or even Whoreientals which I think might be the name of a porn movie I own.
This is also needs the bad guy from Undisputed 2 by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 13th, 2008 12:56:08 PM
Can't remember his name but that guy is mega awesome at kickboxing.
Swayze does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Dec 13th, 2008 12:57:08 PM
This sounds potentially like THE guilty pleasure flick of 2009. Hope Stallone manages to pad out his already impressive cast with a couple more badasses. Swayze would have fitted right in, but if I had to pick one other faded Eighties action star I'd have to say Christopher Lambert from HIGHLANDER and FORTRESS. Go on Sly, give his agent a call...
Oh my God by m_reporter	Dec 13th, 2008 01:01:23 PM
This is starting to look like the best project ever for an 80's kid and action freak like me. I hope Stallone puts in a huge slice of cheese on this 80's nostalgia-burger.
HEAR THAT QUENTIN... this is how you cast a movie!! by moto	Dec 13th, 2008 01:02:02 PM
All of those years of talk about QT's Inglorious Bastards and how it would have great casting...rumored Willis, Sandler, Stallone, Arnie, etc. Then he gives us shit casting for the most part, besides Pitt. But here's Stallone with inspired casting!!!! Awesome
This is the movie that has been waiting to get made. by dr sauch	Dec 13th, 2008 01:06:27 PM
Get Arnold, Wesley, JCVD in there and it will be perfect.

INGLORIOUS BASTARDS by Mullah Omar	Dec 13th, 2008 01:15:21 PM
QT needs to surrender the title to Stallone, who seems to understand exactly the sort of action film people have wanted to see for a while.
wow ! i mean FUCKING WOW !!!!!!!! by Keith Maniac	Dec 13th, 2008 01:25:03 PM
What i have read here about this upcoming film, about which i had no prior knowledge, indicates that this could now be the reason god made me a man. Sly, make us a good old fashioned, MEGA-violent, bone splintering, nose-mashing, spleen rupturing, head shattering "ACTION" movie.
Expendability does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Dec 13th, 2008 01:31:09 PM
Are the EXPENDABLES going to live up to their name. If so you could chuck in Ving Rhames and Vinnie Jones as cool additions. Of course, they'd be the first to go down the pecking order...
Where's Cynthia Rothrock by Fortunesfool	Dec 13th, 2008 01:31:09 PM
Then you'll have a ideal cast for a straight to video flop.

@ CharyouTree by ChezKing	Dec 13th, 2008 04:16:24 PM
Predator 3...couldn't agree more. It would be an instant classic. And it should be an army of classic action actors against an army of Predators!
Chez That would be..I don't know words can't describe by CharyouTree	Dec 13th, 2008 04:27:03 PM

CARL FUCKING WEATHERS. Holy shit to this! by crayotic	Dec 13th, 2008 04:29:30 PM
Obviously JVC and Seagal are also suggestions, but could be an issue with too many egos, if there isn't already.

Wow. Cool cast. by SlickyVonBoner	Dec 13th, 2008 04:55:15 PM
Action greats from the past to the present! There better be at least an Arnold cameo in there somewhere. Cause he is THE action hero!
Actually soundsl ike a cool casting for a GI JOE movie by aceattorney	Dec 13th, 2008 04:56:50 PM
Much more tough-sounding, at least on paper.

I Must Break You by Wrath4771	Dec 13th, 2008 06:33:01 PM
Yes I will pay the 10 bucks or whatever it is to see Lundgren and Lee go at it. I also will double the sum if Lundgren utters, "I must break you." That would be bad ass-ery at it's finest. Seriously though, I thought Rambo and Rocky Balboa were very good movies and it's good to see Sly making some decent films again.

Stallone, this is becoming the "It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world" of action films. Please make it a good ensemble flick. Has anybody else heard the speculation that this might be a Rambo film in disguise? (like Stallone's character remains unnamed throughout the film and turns out to be Rambo at the end or something)

Jean-Claude Van Damme!!! by RpgSama	Dec 13th, 2008 08:20:12 PM
Get Jean-Claude Van Damme, he would be DAMN cool in this after his really amazing JCVD, it could help boosting a little bit of his come back, besides he will never star in any hollywood movie again, nobody will back that up, but he could be a great secondary actor in any movie, hell, i would prefer him as the baddie of a say Transporter movie than the cookie cutter shit that we get, at least Jean-Claude brings something to the table...
Amen by Captain RawBeard	Dec 13th, 2008 08:24:41 PM
I agree Rhona Mitra for the female lead, Plus agree that Schwarzenegger should play the president. Can see him shouting "Get to Air Fash Vun Naaaaaa" Bruce Willis needs to be in it and short cameo's from JCVD (french president??) and Seagal too please.
STALLONE!!! GET VAN DAMME!!! by RpgSama	Dec 13th, 2008 08:31:04 PM
Shit, the more i think about it, the more i get wood, this is like the greatest guys movie ever, it's all sort of cool, Get Van Damme, he will not be a diva, shit i believe him in JCVD, he does not care about money, he just want to be in something he can be proud, and not just something that brings money to his table, he will allways be proud of this movie, this has like instant classic written all over it...
STALLONE!!! GET STEVEN SEAGAL!!! by Leafar the Lost	Dec 13th, 2008 08:43:28 PM
Van Damme would be too coked up to show up, and even if he did he would fuck up his lines. Seagal is an asshole, but at least he will show up and say his lines. He will try to take over the movie and direct it, but you can handle that. Also, put a pretty blond with big tits in it.

Who's the good guy? Dolph or Jet...and who's the villain. Or they gonna do that whole "were on the same team but hate each other till we brawl then become best buddies trick and one of us saves the other at the end " trick?
And where is Michael Dudikoff the American Ninja? by johnnyg korrupt	Dec 13th, 2008 09:21:31 PM

He earned it in Rocky Balboa that I didn't even have to think about forking it over for Rambo. Sly is proof that senior citizens can kick ass. As Ironic pointed out so is Danny Trejo. Actually Sly and Trejo should do a very hostile takeover of AARP.

Get Mel Gibson in there as the sexy voice of Statham's car! This is already the best movie ever!

Dude you must See JCVD (the movie) if you haven't already, i too would have said the same, prior to a week ago, but when i watched that movie, the first jean-claude van damme movie i see since the dreadful universal soldier 2, thanks to a lot of critics favorable response to it, and i must say, i think he changed, he changed inside, when you watch the big movie scene that everyone is talking about, he is being sincere, that is his life, he got lost, he found his way again, i don't think he will forget his lines, maybe i'm wrong, but i wish Stallone try it. P.s: Of Course Steven Seagal has to be in it, and while he is at it, break some arms, lol. Now he just needs the governator and the world will be saved of global warming, just by the mere geekness and machismo of this movie...

More CASTING Ideas................... by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 14th, 2008 01:38:24 AM
Deion Sanders - Cocky, impulsive team member who gets rocked early on. Jesse Ventura - The President. Samuel Jackson - The bad guy's kickass top henchman who refuses questionable orders at the end and gets rocked by his evil boss. "I aint shootin no muthafuckin villagers!!" Stone Cold Steve Austin - mowing people down in a gigantic Hummer laughing. Keanu Reeves - Rides with Steve Austin scared like shit. WHOA SHIT!! I also agree with the someone's suggestion of Robert Patrick. We need a Terminator in there. Manliest. Movie. Ever.
Steven Seagal and Van Damme should be in the intro. by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 14th, 2008 01:47:23 AM
Before the title screen, Seagal and Van Damme lead a squad and kick some ass, but are ultimately defeated. Then the title screen, the Sly and his team move in.

Also Plaxico Burress as the know-it-all team member who shoots himself in the leg. When the team leaves on its mission he has to stay back in the rear with the gear.

Scott Adkins by Vern	Dec 14th, 2008 03:44:43 AM
That's who IamMonkey was referring to from UNDISPUTED 2. I agree, that guy is great and especially with that director, Isaac Florentine. They have some amazing fight scenes in another movie they did together called SPECIAL FORCES. I'm really looking forward to their next one, NINJA, with Adkins in his first starring role. I suspect he will be playing some sort of ninja. After that he's supposed to star in UNDISPUTED 3 which is cool because each sequel stars the villain of the previous episode. Adkins is also gonna be in WOLVERINE: X-MEN'S SUPER ORIGIN ADVENTURES or whatever it's called. Hopefully they give him a good showcase. I'm looking forward to hearing more casting on THE EXPENDABLES because I believe there are a couple more Expendables that are not played by the names we've heard so far.
Add Seagal and Snipes and AVOID SHAKY CAM by Motoko Kusanagi	Dec 14th, 2008 03:52:37 AM
and also avoid ultra quick cutting and then we possibly get one of the best ass-kickig balls-to-the-wall action extravanganzas the movie world has ever seen! Fuck the shaky cam Bourne movies! Fuck'em to hell!
Alright, I've got one ... by TheHumanBeingAndFish	Dec 14th, 2008 03:59:46 AM
.. HARRISON FORD. Get him. Seriously - one of the ultimate '80s action stars (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner ...). Yeah, he'll probably ask way too much money, but you never know - it doesn't hurt to ask. Plus, he's awesome. can't believe nobody else mentioned him.
Additional casting ideas... by Mullah Omar	Dec 14th, 2008 04:44:51 AM
Roddy Piper. He can chew bubblegum the whole time. And consider Keith David for the THEY LIVE reunion. Shit, get he AND Kurt Russell in there for a double reunion! Bill Duke. Guy was in BSG a few years ago and looked EXACTLY THE SAME AS EVER. Bob Hoskins. Not sure if the guy is still limber but at any rate give him a low-impact role. Michael Caine. Another low-impact role - fixer or something, or somebody's old commander - but let him loose to totally chew some scenery rather than go for the dignified roles he's been taking the past decade. Robert Patrick. Great call above, the dude plays a convincing military badass. Jean Reno, for goddamn sure! He doesn't even need to say a word. On a lighter note, either The Rock or Brendan Fraser would be good as a semi-goofy team member, or they could go against type and go hardcore motherfucker. Statham is in it, so it's not like ALL these guys have to be geriatrics. One thing Stallone has to do is prevent this film from being better in theory than it is in implementation, ie avoid the SOAP effect. Give it the same overall seriousness as RAMBO and you cannot lose. Also, the guy who mentioned OCEANS 11 might be onto something. If this film is a hit, Stallone should crank one of these films out every few years with whoever survives the previous installment. It can be like the a hard-core A-TEAM.

Please make this a great as it sounds. Anybody else notice the flack QT is getting on this board? Wow. But I do have to say I was never that impressed with Basterds cast. Sort of a letdown.

The political process is failing and The Guv. has his back to the wall. One night his old buddy and rival Sylvester Stallone shows up (tired and grizzled but happy), just returned from one of his regular Southeast Asia swamp wanderings. The two old rivals catch up...they laugh, they cry...raw eggs and milti-vitamin protein shakes are downed in a single gulp. The Governor finally realizes that he has sold out his manhood...that politics are for limp dicked compromisers...not for real Americans. The two old rivals decide to gear up, sneak out of The Governor's mansion and take matters into their own hands. Blood and bone breakage ensue.

This really HAS to be a series by Mullah Omar	Dec 14th, 2008 06:45:19 PM
So many old-school Hollywood tough guys, so little space for everybody. Seriously, Stallone, just keep craning out an all-star balls-out action film between every other film you make. Do a Soderbergh with your career - fund your artsy projects with a cash-cow genre film. Tom Sizemore in psycho badass mode. Everett McGill as a good guy for a change. Ray Winstone, Mark Rolston, and pretty much any of the crew from THE DEPARTED. Vincent Cassel, who could probably beat up most Hollywood guys. Danny Huston is always worth seeing when he gets an apeshit role to play. Matt Craven playing the agitated dude. What about Christopher Walken? Make him the President or something. Or maybe Fred Thompson - guy probably wouldn't mind being President any way he could. William Fictner! Only if he has a moustache! I second the Kurtwood Smith and Michael Ironside suggestions. JK Simmons didn't really have a presence in old-school action films, but he would be great if he could tap into OZ mode. Would James Gandolfini be up for a jaunt into badass territory? And would Michael Madsen jump off the QT bandwagon to make the REAL film everybody was expecting?

WE WANT SOMETHING LIKE THAT SLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ ------------------- WE DONT WANT IT 2 BE A SHORT MOVIE ( the only weakness of rambo 4), MAKE IT AT LEAST 120 MINUTES!!! MAKE IT "THE THIN RED LINE" FOR ACTION FANS...MAKE IT THE MOST BAD ASS WAR MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!! we DONT want wire fights...make dolph vs jet a brutal death match without wire stunts like matrix! if sly has a vs fight, which is a must in my opinion...please with a sizeable opponent and not forrest or knepper...would look ridiculous, cus sly looks like a mean machine these days and forrest is a great actor but no action hero, same goes 2 knepper! great fights would be: sly vs randy sly vs jason (if the jason character turns out 2 be a baddy in the end) sly vs mickey (if he could cast him) sly vs steven segal (if he could cast him) sly vs patrick swayze (if he could cast him) sly vs jcvd (if he could cast him) MAKE THE FIGHT 1 1/2-2 MINUTES AT LEAST...make it brutal no crazy stuff...fists and kicking dirty! ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------ now i`m going a little bit sci-fi. here: how cool would that be...that in the end...sly survives with 2 other guys and chuck norris as the flight pilot...they make it to another country... plane crashes in the jungle...and what do they find...a weapon from the predator...the end! holy crap...wouldnt it be great if sly fights againgst the freaking predator in part 2!:) thats just bullshito talk of a movie fan and beyond makeable...but the rest i`ve written could be done...so do it sly...make history for the fans!!!! ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------ show tarantinos pantsy movie "basterds" what real war bastards are! if u can by any chance...put a little more budget in 70-90 mil. i promise this movie with this line up/cast will at least bring you 150 mil. at the box office and dont let me tell you what it will do on rentals & dvd and blue ray sales in the end, this movie could bring u at least 400- 500 mil. sly just needs 2 put willis, arnold, chuck norris, mickey rourke and kurt russell in and this is a 500 million dollar movie, maybe more!!

Since I know you are reading this, Dear Sly by Darth Busey	Dec 15th, 2008 09:12:54 AM
Dear Sly, as you read through these talkbacks, you can see there is a TON of excitement and passion for this project. The average Aint It Cool News reader is probably in his late 20's/early 30's, male, and has fond remembrances of 80's action films. We will spend lots of money on and tell everybody we know about the coolness of this project. The cast as listed above is shaping up phenomenally. The inclusion of DOLPH LUNDGREN is mindblowingly awesome. I must ask: who is playing the Lee Marvin role? Any film called "The Expendables" surely has a Lee Marvin type role in it. Please consider casting CHUCK NORRIS in it. Chuck is the right age to play an Army lifer/general, and has prior working experience with Lee Marvin in "Delta Force", which will be invaluable in bringing the Lee Marvin hardassery-type of character back to the screen. I see Chuck doing commercials for the Total Body Gym all the time, so I'm pretty sure he can clear his schedule and/or use the money. CARL WEATHERS was another fantastic suggestion. Tell Carl you want to make up for strongarming him out of ROCKY BALBOA, and take great satisfaction in directing his death scene halfway through the movie. I'm fairly certain that the inclusion of Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme would guarantee that this movie outgrosses Titanic. VIVA LA STALLONE.

Horrible suggestion. This movie needs BRANSCOMBE RICHMOND. Preferably, as the Third World goon who gets kicked out of a window by Jet Li. Six seconds of screen time sounds about right. I'd like to see Sly beat the hell out of SVEN OLE THORSEN, too.

If Dolph still has his hair, make him wear the spiked hairdo from Rocky IV. Break your own record (Rambo) for squibs and dismemberment on film. Hard R is the only way this movie will be a big hit. Even if it doesn't make a lot of money in theaters, with a hard R, it will get a huge DVD audience and following. Jet Li must have the most badass never-before-seen ninja weapons that produce blood-spattering carnage ever seen on film. Think Sho Kosugi-type Ninja. I need some time to think of some other requests...

I caught Dolph on Fox News' late night program Red Eye the other night, he still has hair, he still looks great, the host, and I tend to agree, said that Dolph looked better then Sly, Dolph said that was due to 1,000 pushups and taking a swim in freezing cold water every day

What does a swim in freezing cold water actually do for Dolph? Keep him from bloating with old age?

Man, I wish Steve James was still alive.
Agree with whoever said this needs to take itself seriously by crayotic	Dec 15th, 2008 06:00:09 PM
Sure, throw in some veiled references for the fans of the genre and stars, but none of this wink-wink "GET IT?" shit. Also, even if for some insane reason this has to be made at less than a hard-R for the studio, you've got to get the Hard-R footage for the DVD-cut! (and none of this Die Hard 4 "unrated" rubbish which is pretty much the same load of pussified crap).
Oh, and is this movie actually going this direction? by crayotic	Dec 15th, 2008 06:04:30 PM
Coz I haven't heard much of it beyond this article.. and I'd hate to hear that this is the only stunt casting he's doing and we're all just getting our hopes up. Sly, what you have started with the promise of Stathem, Dolph, and Li is not a movie that must be cast in order to service the story, but a story that must be written to encompass our geeky cast wishlists that we have stored in our heads for years.
I believe in Sly by Hikaru Ichijo	Dec 15th, 2008 06:56:21 PM
Rambo kicked all the ass. The dude earned some get out of jail frees for that one.
I have no idea Reckoner by Bloo	Dec 15th, 2008 11:06:49 PM
what swimming in freezing water does for him, but that's what he said, 1,000 pushups and a swim in freezing water
Clancy Brown! Yeah. by Stormwatcher	Dec 15th, 2008 11:11:36 PM
I would totally fight zombies with that sob.
I too agree that Rambo was all kinds of awesome by Stormwatcher	Dec 15th, 2008 11:13:42 PM
Loved the tension on the boat scene at night. Love the place he's in when the movie starts, if he'd been alive he would be in Thailand. Really gotta hope that one day Sly does a comedy with Bruce Campbell.

Is Wings Hauser dead? by Miss Red	Dec 16th, 2008 01:51:22 PM
His brand of jaw-jutting gum-chewing bug-eyed acting would dominate this picture.
