OHMYGOD by IAmMrMonkey!	Feb 17th, 2009 05:46:16 PM
I just wet myself! ARNIE!
FIRST by Animus	Feb 17th, 2009 05:46:18 PM
YES
NOOOOOOOOOOOO by Animus	Feb 17th, 2009 05:46:35 PM
In Darth Vader voice...
a day we have waited for all our lives by superfleish76	Feb 17th, 2009 05:47:33 PM
Sly and Ahnold. Looks like this is gonna' be a fun movie.
about time this happened by HoLyWooD444	Feb 17th, 2009 05:48:30 PM
in the movie it should be Prez. Arnold though
AWESOME! by sonnyfern	Feb 17th, 2009 05:48:31 PM
Even if it is just a small role, it's still cool shit! This movie may not be the greatest cinematic achievment in the history of world, but man it's going to be FUN. I wish JCVD got off his high horse and decided to be in it.
The FUCK?!?! by Pissed Off And Bitter	Feb 17th, 2009 05:48:35 PM
I bet Tarantino is shitting his pants right about now. This movie's gonna rock!!!
Great to hear it but by JohnnyLaBamba	Feb 17th, 2009 05:48:56 PM
Wasn't there talk Arnold was going to play the president?
THE EXPENDABLES > INGLORIOUS BASTERDS by IAmMrMonkey!	Feb 17th, 2009 05:52:19 PM
Vern will shoot anyone who disagrees. In the face. With a gun. Filled with bullets. Yup.
i must admit, this is some cool news, but... by Juror Number 8	Feb 17th, 2009 05:52:39 PM
maybe arnold can take his paycheck from the movie use it to rehire some of the thousands of people being fired by the CA gov't. politics aside, this news is FUCKING SWEET!
Schwarzeggar, Schwarzeneggar... by Kid Idioteque	Feb 17th, 2009 05:54:38 PM
2 strikes.
Your source is through Yoko's pussy phone... by Power_Girl	Feb 17th, 2009 05:57:14 PM
Whip lash, Ow! I hope they have screen time together.
Cool news indeed... by redtom	Feb 17th, 2009 05:57:46 PM
...but Arnie without a big motherfuckin machine gun? BORRRRING! We need another "If it bleeds, we can kill it" Dutch type, only older and craggier and pissed off, etc, etc...
The Most Anticipated Movie of All Time!!!! by i eat fish	Feb 17th, 2009 05:59:22 PM
... to some of us anyway. Seriously, this is some of the greatest movie news I've heard in a long time. Poor Van Damme, he really should have got on board.
C'mon Harry.... by UltimaRex	Feb 17th, 2009 06:00:12 PM
Your source is Sly himself. Admit it.
Sly, cast Reb Brown and Michal Dudikoff too! by Gorgomel	Feb 17th, 2009 06:01:47 PM
The guy from Strike Commando (best Rambo ripoff ever) and the American Ninja himself have to be in this!
Schwarzeneggar + Stallone = AWESOME!! by Hufu Man	Feb 17th, 2009 06:02:57 PM
Fucking amazing this is finally happening. It would be even better if Arnold was one of the stars, but still, fucking amazing. I for one would really like to see Arnie get back into the movie game after he's done with his whole Governor thing in CA in 2010. Hell yeah, this is very cool news.
Who cares when AVATAR will... by drompter	Feb 17th, 2009 06:06:39 PM
Oh, nevermind.
The Expendables > Inglorious Basterds by drompter	Feb 17th, 2009 06:15:13 PM
There, I said it. Even though I have yet to see both films.
I'll take it even though by IndyCollector	Feb 17th, 2009 06:15:36 PM
it's not really the team-up we all have hoped for for the past 20 years or so. Now Stallone just needs to get Chuck Norris.
Fantastic! What is Van Damme's problem? by JediRob	Feb 17th, 2009 06:23:35 PM
Does he really think Bloodsport 2 is a better route?
THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO ROCK by TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION	Feb 17th, 2009 06:24:06 PM
and it will lay waste to everything else with the nuclear awesomeness of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
get seagal and van damme! by Mr_X	Feb 17th, 2009 06:24:58 PM
this now has my interest
How this should end by CorpseRide	Feb 17th, 2009 06:25:05 PM
...mission complete, Stallone returns to the Governor's mansion. Arnold (in his second scene of the movie) congratulates him, then they get into a little sparring conversation, building to a face off, neither backs down, then BOOM they swing their power punches at each other... freeze frame and SCENE. FADE AND ROLL CREDITS. Yeah, that's how I'd play it.
This will be a day long remembered by BackRiverCatfish	Feb 17th, 2009 06:27:36 PM
Does this mean Mickey Rourke won't be in Iron Man 2?
Cool news? by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Feb 17th, 2009 06:31:29 PM
If this were 1994 I might be pumped for this, but right now it seems like they had their chance and they missed it...besides, after all these years if there is one thing we have learned its this-Chuck Norris could kill them all at the same time.
so it's a cameo or something? by The Amazing G	Feb 17th, 2009 06:32:18 PM
I'm not quite clear, I mean how can he be in a movie if he's still the Governator?
"Refridgerator" by Hikaru Ichijo	Feb 17th, 2009 06:36:24 PM

Stallone goes 'meta-reality'?? by Darth_Tarantino	Feb 17th, 2009 06:37:51 PM
Arnie is going to play HIMSELF? This sounds...weird. So in the universe of this film, Arnie is a film star (as he really is) and Stallone isn't...I'm not sure guys. This sounds a bit strange to me, doesn't sit right for some reason. If Arnie plays the president or a grizzle, cigar-chomping old general for 5 minutes, then I'm in. Totally in. However...
Hey Gov, balance the budget first by Heckles	Feb 17th, 2009 06:40:14 PM
We get IOU's for state taxe returns, but Arnold can spend a day playing with his friends. Excellent.
Stop comparing this to Inglourious Basterds by hegele	Feb 17th, 2009 06:42:50 PM
you'll just disappoint yourself one way or another.
Its not his fault the republicans in his senate are morons by bullet3	Feb 17th, 2009 06:45:01 PM
They would rather have thousands of people lose their jobs than raise taxes in the state. Their the reason the budget isn't being voted through the legislature. He's done everything he can to get that damn budget agreement through.
Mr Zeddemore by Darth_Tarantino	Feb 17th, 2009 06:47:50 PM
I didn't want 80's action star neccesarily for IB. But the original suggestion that Tarantino made years back of people like Michael Madsen always had my vote. Add to that Bruce Willis in Brad Pitt's role, Tim Roth, Mickey Rourke...I'd be sold.
chin chin by The Amazing G	Feb 17th, 2009 06:49:20 PM
BOOIE BOOIE!
Van Damme,,, by Forthesakeofhumanity	Feb 17th, 2009 06:54:12 PM
really ought to be kicking himself for not taking the opportunity to get involved with this movie! I'd say the same for Seagal, but it doesn't seem he was invited! :-D
Does this thing get any better? by Archive	Feb 17th, 2009 06:54:21 PM
Will this movie be more fun than the Rundown? That's a lot of cows!
Ahem... by alynch3	Feb 17th, 2009 06:56:16 PM
Eric Roberts replacing Ben Kingsley is not something that warrants an exclamation point.
Attn: Seattle Geeks by Rebeck2	Feb 17th, 2009 06:59:54 PM
Screening tonight of OUTLANDER in Seattle with the director Howard McCain talking afterwards and answering questions. It's at 7 pm at the JBL Theater, 325 5th Avenue North - presented in partnership with The Science Fiction Museum and Hall Of Fame. It only costs $5 to get in. The movie is great fun, check it out.
Hells yeah! by Barl	Feb 17th, 2009 07:00:09 PM
Even if it only is just a cameo, Stallone and the govanator in the same movie is kickass!
EPIC? by THE KNIGHT	Feb 17th, 2009 07:00:12 PM
dare i say this is going to be?
LORENZO LAMAS!!! by celebritydave	Feb 17th, 2009 07:01:49 PM
He needs to be in it! that greasy falcon crest motherfucker!!!! sign him up NOW! and yea.. The American Ninja is also a must! what about ponytail segal? no love?
not sure if anyone else has pointed this out to Harry but... by Forthesakeofhumanity	Feb 17th, 2009 07:05:48 PM
...isn't Arnie's endearingly epic surname spelled "Schwarzenegger" with an "ER" at the end instead of an "AR"? I'd hate to think all my DVD cases had typos on them!
Mr Zeddemore - PART II by Darth_Tarantino	Feb 17th, 2009 07:06:27 PM
I think an equal dose of 80's action stars and more recent actors (like Madsen and Tim Roth) would have been perfect casting. And yes, word indeed on Willis delivering the 'scalps' line perfectly. I can picture it in my mind!! I would also have loved to have seen a vicious, skinny, evil looking Ian Hart in Eli Roth's place ;)
Speaking of scalps... by Darth_Tarantino	Feb 17th, 2009 07:08:46 PM
...this made me laugh so hard I nearly cried! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =R3dtuzdd9ek
now all it needs is some Kurt Russell for CHURCH by coltrautman	Feb 17th, 2009 07:09:41 PM
and the movie will be perfect!
HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!! by Kal Reeve	Feb 17th, 2009 07:12:54 PM
Stallone, Schwarzeneggar, Rourke and Roberts all in the same flick! The 80s just exploded in my face and it burns so good!
Holy fuck!!!!! Geekgasms galore! by a goonie	Feb 17th, 2009 07:13:47 PM
I was just thinking the other day about how awesome The Expendables is going to be. I love old-school 80s action flicks and Rambo (as silly and ridiculous as it all was) showed that Stallone still knows how to blow shit up good and look fucking badass while doing it. I loved the ultra-violence on display in that movie and I love the idea of Stallone doing it again in a tough-guys-in-the-jungle flick. But the fact that this movie has Mickey Rourke and Jet Li in makes me already cream my pants. So that's too fucking awesome already. But then, just a day or two ago, I was thinking about how I wish that Schwarzenegger could be in this flick. I wrote it off as not even being a possibility, so you can imagine my joy at seeing the headline of this article. Sure, I'd love to see Arnie go apeshit with everyone else in the jungle, but I'd rather have him as Governor than not have him at all. This just fucking rules. I want to see this movie so damn badly.
This was coming... by ABking	Feb 17th, 2009 07:15:31 PM
Been hearing this for a while and finally...the two kings of action are together! Let 2010 come because THE EXPENDABLES will kick every films ass that year!
Melvin_Pelvis by Kal Reeve	Feb 17th, 2009 07:15:41 PM
Eric Roberts has more talent and charisma in his smirk than his sister does in her whole entire being.
Sly, CAST FRANK McRAE!!! by Kal Reeve	Feb 17th, 2009 07:18:56 PM
Please for the love of God cast Frank McRae!
Van Damme? Fuck him, get Bruce Willis by Chuck_Chuckwalla	Feb 17th, 2009 07:22:37 PM

Carl Weathers... by Kal Reeve	Feb 17th, 2009 07:23:04 PM
deserves to be in this film and have a scene where he beats the holy living hell out of Dolph Lungdren.
doesn't he have more important things to do? by Magic Rat	Feb 17th, 2009 07:28:01 PM
or did he figure after he fired 40,000 public employees he had time to kill?

Sign on the dotted line, please.
How are they going to account for the fact that Stallone... by FlickaPoo	Feb 17th, 2009 07:41:24 PM
...stands balls high to Arnold? Then again...who doesn't? This is going to be the best flick of all time.
Wesley Snipes by kikuchiyoboy	Feb 17th, 2009 07:41:41 PM
must feel lonely.
FlickaPoo by BadMrWonka	Feb 17th, 2009 07:49:53 PM
stallone's only a few inches shorter. he's not pacino or cruise. 6'1 vs 5'10 isn't a problem for camera angles.
Just got off the phone with Steven Seagal by quintana007	Feb 17th, 2009 07:51:52 PM
He's in Asylums ripoff with Snipes, Lundgren and Norris

Can we get a "Ged to da choppa" line in there somewhere! by Outlaw	Feb 17th, 2009 07:55:34 PM
That is interesting news, but I think Ahnold has real state-wide problems at hand. Take care of your shit first good Sir. I'm also going to predict that since Harry already has a chubby for this flick, a glowing review is on the horizon for this movie, even if it's an hour and 50 minutes of stallone jerking off while doing a handstand. Just remember to tickle the balls when blowing Stallone, Harry. Do mind the stepchildren.
Next for ARNOLD is CONAN! by ABking	Feb 17th, 2009 07:56:54 PM
The same producer (Avi Lerner) and studio (NuImage) doing THE EXPENDABLES is doing CONAN. Arnold will sign to do CONAN next...watch and see!
Oh. My. God. by CherryValance	Feb 17th, 2009 08:01:05 PM
I never thought this would happen after that 'terds movie turned out not to be what it was long rumored to be. I'm glad Mr. Stallone saw the opportunity to make us extremely happy and took it. :D
Van Damme by plissken77	Feb 17th, 2009 08:08:08 PM
you know after the awesomeness of JCVD and the brilliant performance Jean Claude gave I got excited that he may be on a comeback. I grew up watching him, so did most of you im sure. Seeing the cast line up of this film all these guys in one movie...even Arnie as himself is weird but cool. I cant beleive Van Damme said no..Im heart broken. SLY!!! i know your Harry's source!!! Dont give up..tell Van Damme to get off his high horse and get in this movie!!
Recall This Girly Man by christian66	Feb 17th, 2009 08:09:31 PM
Thanks Democrats for putting in this Enron smoke shield -- thanks California for thinking a robot movie star could lead the fifth largest economy in the world. He fucked up this state and now he wants to play movie star again? Well, at least we know you're not getting near the Oval Office you crook. Fuck Arnold.
and Rourke and Roberts in the same movie again... by CherryValance	Feb 17th, 2009 08:11:51 PM
Bliss and love. hugs everyone
Great scoop guys by hallmitchell	Feb 17th, 2009 08:12:11 PM
Go Stallone. Go Eric Roberts. Go Mickey rourke. I know this sounds cool and it is. Yet Arnie won't be grabbing a gun and kicking a$$ with Stallone. Ring Jesse Ventura. See what he is up to.
Van Damme knocking this movie back by hallmitchell	Feb 17th, 2009 08:13:12 PM
Bad choice. Very bad choice.
Mr. Zeddemore by hegele	Feb 17th, 2009 08:19:04 PM
Tarantino stated he never wanted to cast Sly, Arnie, etc. He didn't consider anyone but Pitt and he knew the other basterds were going to be Jewish kids. It ignites the themes of the script (propoganda), in the imagination of the nazi's, the basterds might as well look like sly and arnie, but in reality, they are kids. It isn't Dirty Dozen, its a different beast. Tarantino probably got the cast he wanted (aside from Pegg and a few others), i'd take that over talkbackers who didn't read or write the script. that being said, i hope this is good.
Good to see he has his priorities straight... by James Westfall	Feb 17th, 2009 08:24:19 PM
His state's drowning in a complete socialistic meltdown... oh but he has time to resume his film career.
One scene, big deal... by DoctorWho?	Feb 17th, 2009 08:25:14 PM
I want to see Arnie in the mix. Let's do this mutha!
Wow. The cast for this thing is frakkin' ridiculous. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Feb 17th, 2009 08:25:28 PM
I'd really like to see Sly knock this one out of the park. After his patient, heartfelt turn in ROCKY BALBOA and then the all around WTF?! kickassery of RAMBO, I think he's clearly got the skills to pay the bills. Make it so, Sly!
I'll take that to the bank, governor Schwarzeneggar by Subtlety	Feb 17th, 2009 08:27:10 PM

The CoC disappoints me. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Feb 17th, 2009 08:33:21 PM
They should be commenting all over this story... Heh.
Where's Bruce Willis in this? Damn by liljuniorbrown	Feb 17th, 2009 08:34:36 PM
That would put this shit over the top into the stratosphere of kick ass. Bruce,Chuck Norris and Kurt Russell should round out this cast. I wouldn't mind seeing Carl Weathers either. Who ever suggested him in a scene beating Dolph's ass in dead on.That would fucking rule. Either way I will go see this shit twice opening weekend. Sly is the fucking man, he gave us all the Rambo that we were dying to see in that last film. Brilliant sir, Brilliant.
California should fire this... by jaws8u	Feb 17th, 2009 08:40:27 PM
moonlighting piece of shit. Seriously, this is awesome news! I think that the more time he takes off for making movies the better off both California and movies will be.
Well, allll right. by MCVamp	Feb 17th, 2009 08:42:05 PM

AM I DREAMING?! All hail Stallone!!!
Re: California by MCVamp	Feb 17th, 2009 08:51:44 PM
With the US and world economies as fucked up as they are, I don't think anyone could have made a major difference with California's current budgetary and economical problems. He's FAR from a great administrator, but but there are no magicians who would have put CA in the black while the rest of the country took a nose dive. The Governator never held a gun to people's heads and told them to take out do-or-die mortgages on massively overvalued properties, then fill said properties with stuff they couldn't afford. Though that might be a good movie.

The addition of Arnold is gangster!
FUCK YES by D.Vader	Feb 17th, 2009 09:07:03 PM
That is all. Prayers have been answered.
MEH by BringingSexyBack	Feb 17th, 2009 09:17:04 PM
That's right, I said it. A day's shoot is not cool news. Everything else about this movie is, though. Love ya Sly!!! Hurry up wit dis movee.
Holy Shit by Gungan Slayer	Feb 17th, 2009 09:22:30 PM
Damn, this is awesome, although, I'm slightly confused. So, he's playing himself? As the Govenator? That's kinda of lame. He should just be general, or US President or something. As for Kingsly, well, I'm dissappointed. I was looking forward to him being in this. Also, CARL WEATHERS and RUTGAR HAUER need to be in this. and ERNEST BORGNINE too.
Stallone The Sly Talkbacker by Acquanetta	Feb 17th, 2009 09:24:36 PM
I get the feeling that Stallone has stopped trying to pander to Hollywood, and has instead decided to cater directly to fanboys. This is unlikely to get him back on Hollywood's A-list, but it could yield some really fun genre flicks for the rest of us.
Well... we know it isn't Bee-dub by jimmy rabbitte	Feb 17th, 2009 09:33:39 PM

JUGDISH IS RIGHT by BringingSexyBack	Feb 17th, 2009 09:34:30 PM
Whereas Sly has not nearly reached the peak of his Second Coming, Arnold's glory faded long ago. He was horrible in T3. Never saw Collateral Damage but it's not like anyone's brought that up as some kind of monster role. Wish Sly had not given him this cameo - Sly has an amazing cast already and we don't need Arnold taking up any of the spotlight. In other words - he'd be distracting.
totally disagree... by Darth Thoth	Feb 17th, 2009 09:49:18 PM
I think having Arnold in it is totally for the geeks. We've been clamoring for it since this project's inception. To be, this is the best movie news all week. This is huge.

I agree... by Darth Thoth	Feb 17th, 2009 10:28:39 PM
Just give me a Milius directed and Arnold starring King Conan. Then I can die in peace, lol. They promised it!
I hope they all fucking by Series7	Feb 17th, 2009 10:31:57 PM
Dope up on steroids together. We need more steroids in movie stars these days. When will we just fucking allow steroids in all facets of life. Anyone still mad and think that athletes and movie stars shouldn't take steroids is fucking lame.
Too Late The Hero by Acquanetta	Feb 17th, 2009 10:35:23 PM
In terms of being a blockbuster event, this is definitely about 15-20 years too late. If it had been released in the late 80s/early 90s, it would've been a tentpole release aimed at Memorial Day or July 4th weekend. But in 2010, it will primarily be a nostalgic ride for fanboys and those who grew up in the 80s and 90s. But I've always wondered when the 'ideal' Stallone/Arnold match up should've occurred. When you think about it, they were never quite on the same level. During Stallone's mid-80s prime, Arnold was still making films like Raw Deal and Red Sonja. And by the time Arnold began to take off in the late 80s, Stallone was already heading for his early 90s decline. Maybe 1994 was really the year we should've seen them team up? 1993 had been a big one for Stallone, while Arnold's stock had dropped down a notch. Both were still in their prime and the 80s style of action film was on its way out. Could there have been any greater swansong?
Quintana007 by Vern	Feb 17th, 2009 10:36:06 PM
Lundgren is in THE EXPENDABLES, why are you demoting him to the Asylum ripoff?
I disagree bringingsexyback.. by coltrautman	Feb 17th, 2009 10:36:38 PM
having Arnold in this even if for a cameo is amazing...its like a geekgasm....its what fans always wanted..granted they wont be kicking ass together...they should make Arnie the president tho...to keep up on the whole Demolition man thing... actually, the whole casting of this movie reads like stallone just went to fanboards and took off some dream wish... now, Cast KURT RUSSELL sly!
Yes! Now get Willis and Russell. by otm shank	Feb 17th, 2009 10:44:54 PM
And Arnold can have a bigger role in "The Expendables 2: Expendabler."
Conan the King by Acquanetta	Feb 17th, 2009 10:46:23 PM
I'd love to see Arnold return as Conan, but unfortunately, it's probably too late. Would Nu Image really consider Arnold a serious option for their proposed franchise? And if Arnold does return to film, would he really want his big comeback to be with Nu Image? I still can't believe the film came so close to happening...and then suddenly Arnold was governor of California instead. WTF? It's also ironic that Conan was already a king in the first few Robert E. Howard stories, and yet no one ever made a film version featuring that older, wiser Cimmerian.

Danny Trejo! by Darth Thoth	Feb 17th, 2009 11:05:54 PM
Wow. This is really going to be the greatest movie ever!!!!!! Sly is doing it so big right now I can't even explain it. Wow!
And on my birthday too by Bloo	Feb 17th, 2009 11:07:44 PM
Antohony Bourdain goes to the Philipines on Monday (something I've been hoping for him to do) on No Reservations, and on Tuesday we get Ah-nuld AND Eric Roberts, who I've been begging for to be in this movie...Stallone, you are now my personal Jesus...
(ahem) source (ahem) by Wolfman57	Feb 17th, 2009 11:14:13 PM
So it's obvious your source is Stallone, given his relationship with the site. The question is: after "Terminator 4: Salvation: Not Directed by Cameron: But We Have Batman: We Love Colons" and Schwarzenegger makes his cameo there (and c'mon, we all know it's going to happen in some form) and disappoints, will anyone still give a shit about this?
Sly, if you somehow by Bloo	Feb 17th, 2009 11:25:33 PM
manage to get Willis as a General, Russell and/or Norris, I think I'll name my first child after you...yes Slyvester Stallone Robert even if it's a girl
Sly please read by Koji_Kabuto	Feb 17th, 2009 11:48:49 PM
Sly I know you are probably reading this, if you have the time and you think the script might need a few fixes to get it where it needs to be, why not get another screenwriter to help?. I'm just saying that might be even more important than bringing the Governator. With that said...O....M....F....G!!
This is awesome, but... by Wes_Reviews_	Feb 17th, 2009 11:50:47 PM
...when do we get a REAL Stallone/Schwarzenegger team-up flick? Just the two of them. No distractions. Kicking seven sorts of ass with plenty of explosions.
If Sly is reading this... by Wes_Reviews_	Feb 17th, 2009 11:51:25 PM
How about a role in The Expendables for Chuck Norris? Please?
WE NEED CHUCK NORRIS NOW!! by Mike_D	Feb 17th, 2009 11:53:03 PM
IT MUST BE COMPLETE!
I second Chuck Norris for a role... by Bill Clay	Feb 17th, 2009 11:54:23 PM
How can you make a movie starring old school action heroes and leave out Chuck Norris? Blasphemy!
One last thing... by Wes_Reviews_	Feb 17th, 2009 11:54:50 PM
...it'd also be nice to see a Sho Kosugi cameo.
At some point there's no more room for cameos by bullet3	Feb 18th, 2009 12:01:01 AM
I think Chuck's done with movies, I doubt he'll show up in this. Although it would be pretty awesome and hilarious if every single extra bad-guy was some notable 80s action hero.
ANOTHER VOTE FOR RUSSEL AND WILLIS by Docbrowneye	Feb 18th, 2009 12:03:04 AM
please Mr. Stallone...find a place for Kurt Russel and Bruce Willis. Complete the masterpiece.

To Stallone, if there's any chance you read this by DonnyUnitas	Feb 18th, 2009 12:14:05 AM
Thank you. And not just for this film, but for all of them - the good, the bad, and all in between. Keep up the great work. It's so nice to have heroes again.
Get that crazy Native American badass from Predator, too! by Julius Dithers	Feb 18th, 2009 12:17:16 AM
Billy whatever his name was. I think that was his character's name in 48 Hours and Predator. Hopefully, he isn't dead or in lockup. They said he was crazy on screen and off.
That would be Sonny Landham by jabbathegriffin	Feb 18th, 2009 12:19:10 AM

Tell me he ain't running for the governorship of New Mexico or someplace.
Billy from Predator... by Wes_Reviews_	Feb 18th, 2009 12:21:29 AM
Sonny Landham actually ran for Governor of my state (Kentucky) a few years back. A friend of mine went to one of his rallies and got me an autograph.

Now we get a roid-raging Stallone, a plastic Rourke and a flabby Arnie. It's good, don't get me wrong, but a team up flick at their peak would've been awesome.

Would have been better having Arnie play a General... by hiperaktiv	Feb 18th, 2009 01:52:10 AM
who's in charge of the expendables rather than playing himself and having some ridiculous past history that Sly's character was some extra who worked on Conan. C'mon Sly that screams lameness! It would make every fanboy out there's day if Arnold played a general in one scene where he was in charge of the Expendables and gave them their orders or something. Then Arnie and Sly can trade quips and insults...similar to Arnie and Carl Weathers at the beginning of Predator...THAT WOULD BE FREAKING AWESOME...but this I dunno.
Politicians by SUPERJIM	Feb 18th, 2009 02:08:23 AM
It annoys me when they do other things, what happens with their jobs when they are away? Does someone fill in? Does their pay get docked, or does the tax payer pay them a wage while they are off earning money in other ways? What if there was an emergency that needed their full attention? A few years ago over here in the UK a politician took part in Celebrity Big Brother for a few weeks. Now I may be wrong but I believe he was actually a local MP at the time. The press never even mentioned it, was he earning his wage as well as his fee for being in the show?
Oh by SUPERJIM	Feb 18th, 2009 02:09:50 AM
Is Arny still a US senator? Ignore my last post of not.

YESSSSSSS good to see Eric in this...I know douches will say uhh his only skill is being Julia's brother...umm yeah thats right he never made any movies and was never nominated for an Oscar...oh wait he has made tons of movies and WAS nominated for an Oscar. He may be a B movie guy which means the majority of the idiots who will talk shit about him haven't seen much of his stuff. Umm Love is a Gun? The Ambulance? Pope of Greenwich Village? Runaway Train? and on and on oh yeah Star 80?...fuck yeah. All Roberts would need to be back in the mix as an actor would be a good part. Afterall remember where Mickey Rourke was before? umm yeah in limbo...The Wrestler comes along and BOOM he's back....oh yeah and here is something else...people seem to love Rourke again...I always did...and I rememebr an interview once where Rourke was asked who the greatest actor he ever worked with was....and he sadi....ERIC ROBERTS...and I think an actor knows more about who can act than some Cheetos eating, internet surfing douchebags.

Three words: by DocPazuzu	Feb 18th, 2009 03:11:00 AM
Awe.Fucking.Some. You guys saying "meh, yeah, maybe 20 years ago" are completely missing the point. If this movie had been made back then it would have raised zero eyebrows as it would have been like an overstuffed cake at a time when we were already spoiled by great action movies. The Expendables is going to be more than just the sum of its script and execution -- it's a phone call from the past telling today to shut the fuck up and watch how shit like this is supposed to go down. All "basterds" and other pretenders to the throne will shortly be feeling the strange and vaguely unpleasant sensation of a wildly firing M-60 rammed up their sphincters.

Wash that little duo down with a neat shot of Rourke and add to the already magnificent banquet. This could be PREDATOR cool. This could be DIE HARD cool. It's been a long time since you could say that (the big budget action movies of the decade have been teenybop and the low budget ones have been too scrappy). Looking forward to this one!

Tarantino does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Feb 18th, 2009 04:56:32 AM
Apparently THE EXPENDABLES is set to feature a brief 5 second cameo by Quentin Tarantino. As Stallone's team covertly surround the drug lord's mansion Jason Statham levels his sniper rifle on one of the windows. Here we see Quentin Tarantino snorting cocaine and jabbering ten-to-the-dozen about how incredible the dialogue he wrote for 'Jungle Julia' was. Statham gruffly whispers to Stallone "Shall I?". With a grim smile Stallone nods. Statham pulls the trigger and QT's head explodes like a rotten tomato.
We shouldn't dis QT really.. by Gabba-UK	Feb 18th, 2009 05:02:32 AM

I like Sly and it's good to see his career resurrection and the casting of has-been and B-grade action stars in one movie does make this interesting, but calm the fuck down. The people who are masturbating over their keyboards are the same that try to shoot down anyone who expresses interest in Avatar. They're both "in theory" cool as hell flicks that are coming up but lets ease off on the circle-jerking until we see a trailer or something.

Who's a current A-grade action star in your eyes Droid? Brendan Fraser? Shia LaBoeuf? We're excited about this flick precisely because it doesnt contain this current crop of action stars. Isn't discussing 'cool as hell flicks' (your words) kinda the whole point of AICN?
Cobra--Kai by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Feb 18th, 2009 05:53:57 AM
There aren't really any real action stars anymore. The concept sells the movie now, not the star. It's why Vin Diesel's new film is F&F4. Does anyone say 'let's go see the new Shia flick'? No. They say 'Let's go see the new giant robot flick'. The exception to the rule is Will Smith. Hancock was a huge hit purely because Smith was in it. Anyway, I never said this wasn't interesting. In theory it could be awesome, but lets not go crazy. All of these guys have made plenty of unwatchable festuring turds. And lately discussing 'cool as hell flicks' (my words) isn't what AICN has been about. It's been about the mob-mentality, quasi-comedian cyncics who shoot down anything remotely different or anyone who expresses enjoyment for something they deem uncool.

Those of us who of a certain age shall we say are getting excited because it's the dream film that has been at the back of our minds for the last 20 years. The reason why Slys career has burst into life again and Rambo was better than we had any right to expect was because the currunt (and Ive spelt it that way for a reason) batch of action stars suck compared to the old school guys. I just hope the CGI is kept to a minimum or even not there.

Willis is a fun guy, willing to do uncredited cameos simply for the hell of it. You think he doesn't know it would kick ass to be in this? To finally have him, Arnold and Stallone all in one action flick that likewise has people like Li or Statham as the current generation of action heroes involved? As bad as economic times are right now, you bet the bank that whether it's officially announced or he films in secret that when this movie comes out Willis WILL have a bit part. Bank on it.

...this is really freakishly unbelievable. While it's definitely nowhere as hot a news item as it would have been even 10 years ago, this has been discussed for 25 years, and now it's actually happening... and it's thanks to Stallone. "Dayumn!", as that cartoon character used to say.

But a "California governor cameo" is a terrible idea... by JackPumpkinhead	Feb 18th, 2009 07:14:31 AM
It should be a role. Hell, have some fun and cast him as the US president. But NOT as "Arnold Schwarzenegger"... this will just cheapen the film.
Im not a big fan of the two anymore... by RockLobster800	Feb 18th, 2009 07:26:31 AM
I kinda lost interest in them a while back...but I wil still definately see this! I mean, thats a scene thats bound to be classic....I mean Im not making comparisons in acting ability, but the 90's finally united De Niro and Pacino on screen, so it makes sense that years that these two guys should be united for a scene...it only makes sense that the bggest stars of their particular day should unite for at least a second...
I like the idea of Arnie being the President who signs off by HarryBlackPotter	Feb 18th, 2009 07:29:53 AM
on the mission at the beginning. And then at the end, when there are only 3 or 4 Expendables left and they're dug in, trapped by the enemy, with no chance of escape...BOOM! BIG explosions and helicopters UP THE ASS. It's the US cavalry to the rescue, with Arnie (The Prez) himself riding a howitzer – kind of a mickey take of when George W Bush arrived on the aircraft carrier, but less gay. If that's possible.

AGREED, CAST ARNIE AS "THE PREZ" by Mullah Omar	Feb 18th, 2009 07:36:22 AM
Sly, please don't go all Soderbergh on us. That style has its place, but this film isn't the place. Just make Arnie The Prez and have him sign off on the mission in the first place. I'm glad that Arnie is entertaining the idea of being in this film, however. Good sign.

Get Snake Plisken/Soldier Kurt Russell by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 18th, 2009 08:57:58 AM
I still don't get the Solder hate. Russell took a year off before filming the movie to work out. To hell with P90X, he should do his own workout DVD. He only uttered like five lines in the movie. Perhaps six if you count growling. "I'm going to kill them..sir." How do action movie lines get better?
"GET KURT RUSSELL" by redtom	Feb 18th, 2009 08:58:03 AM
I'd pay to see that Sly - get Russell and Willis and involved. And make Arnie the Prez - playin himself is too post-modern and... FUCKING SUCKS! or whatever the hell, you know what I mean... (heads off to watch the last 40 mins of Rambo again... )
Here' the cherry on the Sunday by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 18th, 2009 08:59:41 AM
how about a cameo of Clint Eastwood as retired general so and so who was Sly's friend/mentor or something like that. Even if he's in the movie for two minutes it's something we'd kill for.

We all know your "source" is Stallone. This is why it's an AICN exclusive. Second, don't get all excited about Arnie It's a BS piece of news that is being billed as, "OMG! Sly and Arnie together again!", while the reality is that it's a one day cameo that will be over in 3 minutes of screen time. Oh joy. For all intents and purposes, Arnie is not in the movie.

The track will be performed by an Eighties 'supergroup' consisting of Axel Rose, Jon Bon Jovi, Peter Cetera, Sting, Meatloaf, and Ray Parker Jnr. All proceeds from the single will go to the ponytailed villain from KARATE KID 3 to help realise his dream of building an 'evil' dojo in every town.

What's wrong with NU IMAGE leading CONAN/ARNOLD? by ABking	Feb 18th, 2009 11:13:30 AM
Nu Image is making some coin from Sly first with RAMBO (113 MILLION + another 80 million on dvd) and then with THE EXPENDABLES. They are reporting that CONAN will cost about 80 million. NU IMAGE can be Sly and Arnold's new house much like CAROLCO was in the 80's and 90's for them. Avi Lerner is their new KASSAR and VAJNA!

STALLONE, I trust you...SCHWARZENEGGER's role... by ABking	Feb 18th, 2009 11:52:50 AM
Hey Sly, I trust you wrote a great role for your pal Arnie, but if there is any doubt on your part, maybe it's best to change the role of real life Governor Schwarzenegger to a General role with Arnie in full military fatigues. Maybe the role you have written with Arnie playing himself will work, but it would have to be written smart, or the audience will hate the STALLONE/SCHWARZENEGGER team-up and it will leave a bad taste in the fans mouth. I trust you though since you are one helleva filmmaker. Oh, and if your pal Avi Lerner is reading this, just tell him to give Schwarzenegger CONAN like how you had RAMBO. Conan is Arnold's role, not some young 30 year old punk!

Turdontherun, good post...ARNOLD & SLY should... by ABking	Feb 18th, 2009 02:10:38 PM
AVATAR is the only film that gets the juices flowing right now (and T4/Transformers 2)...but THE EXPENDABLES is going to own 2010. It will make CON AIR look like a female driven sequel to SEX AND THE CITY. Thats how macho the cast has made the film out to be. If Arnie is to make a sequel to The Expendables, better he not play himself going to war in the jungle. It would scream Arnold Schwarzenegger is as tough as his film characters and could really fight in a jungle. Too confusing for audiences. Sly needs to give Arnie the role of CHURCH or a tough as nails general. Even if as a cameo. Maybe have Arnie pump his arms up real huge for the shoot and have him and Sly flex their guns for the camera. Show that they are 60 but make it seem like they are in their 40's still...ala the PREDATOR scene. Oh, and lets hope Tom Arnold wasn't full of shit and that TRUE LIES 2 follows THE EXPENDABLES. Maybe Arnie will do KING CONAN and TRUE LIES 2 back-to-back just to match the coolness of Stallone's ROCKY BALBOA/RAMBO comeback!

VERN: What is THE EXPENDABLES budget? by ABking	Feb 18th, 2009 02:55:46 PM

For the first meeting on screen between Stallone & Schwarzenegge by ABking	Feb 18th, 2009 03:11:02 PM
If Arnie is only a cameo (and I hope Sly beefs up his role and Arnie becomes a small co-star instead) their encounter with each other has to be nothing short of legendary. It has to hold up to the promise of a 80's/90's team-up action film...or it will dissapoint. Here is to hoping the cameo is as great as the RAMBO films and PREDATOR combined. But no preasure Sly LOL

the Basterds and the Expendables. Why not? Two movies about groups of guys regulating on evil asses? What's not to love? This "choose a side" mentality is ignant. I have a chance to enjoy TWO movies, why not? Of course, if one DOES suck, there's the other. Win for me!

Whoah, is Stallone taking requests? by Vern	Feb 18th, 2009 04:44:31 PM
Scott Adkins, Danny Trejo, Eric Roberts and of course Schwarzenegger have all been mentioned on talkbacks as people who should be in this. We still gotta work on Michael Jai White and Gary Busey though. Also I would like to request that former governor Ventura could cameo as Barney's old Navy SEAL friend who he goes to for help finding the new Expendable.
Vern by toshiro-solo	Feb 18th, 2009 04:47:14 PM
Not sure about Adkins, but - I'm pretty sure Trejo, Roberts, and Schwarzenegger ARE in it. They also SHOULD BE in it, but - I think those three are confirmed, unless I'm missing something...

It's never too late. Maybe for the sequel... And if Stallone really wants a French speaker, get Jean Reno or Vincent Cassel. Both of them could kill JCVD with their glares alone.

How about Jackie Chan? by Johnno	Feb 19th, 2009 01:16:25 AM
It was movies by Arnold, Stallone, Bruce Willis and Jackie Chan that filled my action needs... Get him and Jet Li again somewhere, anywhere! Make them cameo henchmen! That's my dream cast right there! Also get Van Damme, Jason Statham, Rourke, and I don't know if Steven Segal, John Travolta or Nick Cage would be ideal or just comical... but they had their moments!

FUCK anyone blaming ARNOLD for California's woes! by Big Dumb Ape	Feb 19th, 2009 02:03:06 AM
This movie sounds more awesome by the day. Just work in Kurt Russell and then have cameos by Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood AFTER the end credits (ala the Jackson scene in IRON MAN) and this will we awesomeness personified. And fuck those saying ARNOLD is to blame for all of California's woes. For crying out loud, he's a moderate Republican having to deal with a DEMOCRATIC legislature, which has been 100% Democrat controlled for ages. Not to mention, the state is now $32 BILLION -- yes, that's billion with a "B" -- in the hole because living out here we give provide fucking state services left and right and you have bullshit things like property taxes that aren't even reflective OF the actual property. Add to which you have an exploding illegal alien population which is now at something like 7 or 8% of the state's population, who likewise according to a recent LA TIMES article cost the state over $5 BILLION a year in costs while other estimates put it as high as $10 billion. So even just think of that. If the state's $32 billion over budget, you're talking about a FULL THIRD of the state's deficit being dueto people who SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE. For fuck's sake, even when Arnold DID want to raise taxes and trim the state government, the Democrats in the state legislature wouldn't let him do it...and NOW look where that's gotten you. Completely broke and shit up the creek in a state where the Left leaning populace STILL believes the state should be picking up the tab for just about everything free of charge.
