The Expendables (2010 film)

The Expendables (2010)

Quote:
"The Expendables is an upcoming 2010 action film directed and written by Sylvester Stallone. Filming began on March 28, 2009 in Brazil, New Orleans and Los Angeles and is expected to be released on April 23, 2010. "The Expendables has a seventy million-dollar budget," says Stallone's co-star Dolph Lundgren,[1] "and it's an old-school, kick-ass action movie where people are fighting with knives and shooting at each other." The film pays a tribute to the blockbuster action films during 1980s and early 90s, as the film include veterans from the decades (such as Stallone himself, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.).


The story revolves around a team of highly-skilled and dangerous mercenaries known as "The Expendables" led by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and consisting of, Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Bao Thao (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Hale Ceasar (Terry Crews) and weapons expert, Toll Road (Randy Couture). They are hired by the mysterious Mr. Church to overthrow General Garza (David Zayas), dictator of the island of Corza near Brazil who has caused devastation for over 20 years. Even with the help from an arms dealer, Tool (Mickey Rourke), the challenge won't be as easy as they thought. In their way is crooked CIA agent, Monroe (Eric Roberts), his psychotic bodyguard (Steve Austin), former British expendable (Gary Daniels) and General Garza's personal army."
Oh. My. God. It even has cameo roles for Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is going to be the greatest action movie ever created. Possibly even the greatest movie ever created.

Yes, I heard about this. It has my man Jet Li so I'm looking forward to it. Not having any expectations other than lots of explosion and shooting and perhaps a few stabbed people here and there.

Like the cast ensemble too.

Dolph Lungren, Eric Roberts, and Mickey Rourke?!?!? It sounds like a B-movie wet dream! If David Carradine was still alive to star in this, I think my head would explode.

David Carradine's a good choice, but I would've definitely like to have seen Van Damme in this. Also high on my list is Wesley Snipes and Jackie Chan (since they already have Jet Li in it).

Yeah, I don't plan on the story/plot or whatever to actually be good. But, with a cast like this, the action will definitely be worthwhile. At least I would hope so.

You know it's gonna suck when JCVD turns down a role in it.


Actually, as much as I hate to admit it, Stalone is a damn decent writer.

Awesome potential for awesomeness! agreed on the want of JCVD, but otherwise, it looks like just about everyone I'd care to see in this kind of movie!

Hahaha I just read about the reasons why JCVD and Snipes couldn't do this. JCVD said his character did not have enough character development. Are you shitting me? Not enough character development? When has any of his characters had good character development.

And Snipes....shouldn't have committed tax fraud...

Did you see JCVD? I mean the movie titled JCVD?! That whole movie was nothing but character development! I think that's one thing that sets him apart from a lot of the other actions stars... blah blah blah

I must comment that both Stallone and Rourke both have fucked up looking faces after all that surgery.

Still looks like a cool flick.

I got to see the trailer in the theaters (the ONLY thing I enjoyed about my Kick-Ass experience). I almost came.

This thing looks awesome.

Right? If it wasn't for that preview, that would have been a total waste of money...

I just saw the trailer before Iron Man 2. I heard the guy behind me yell out "Holy shit, what is this fucking movie???" when they started going through the cast.
I got a funny feeling this one's gonna do well.

I'm starting to lose interest in seeing this film.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Stallone doesn't get that the reason the over-the-top, bombastic juvenile action flicks of the eighties are looked upon with fond nostalgia is because we love the ridiculousness of them when they were played with a straight face? I'm afraid that Stallone will give lip-service to the campy adolescent fantasy, but still expect the audience to take it seriously, which is missing the point.

I'm going to see it just for pure entertainment value, with little expectation for it to be more than an amazing conglomeration of all of my favorite action stars (plus Stallone, who I tolerate because he makes wonderful drinking game movies) blowing up shit and killing people.
And hopefully Statham and Li will have scenes without shirts.
Maybe even with motor oil involved.
But not Stallone. Or Lundgren. Yikes. Movie moobs...
