I'm happy with what is there especially the early fight with Stallone and Statham and the whole finally. Yes I know it would have been nice to see some wide shots and Undisputed like long takes but that kind of action is almost rare hollywood now. At least the Dolph and Jet fight didn't look we where in an earthquake.....*cough* Bourne *cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dionbrother Posted August 22, 2010 Member Share Posted August 22, 2010 I've seen the links and they don't prove much. In this age of easily rendered digital art, this is all the proof you need?

Member dionbrother Posted August 22, 2010 Member Share Posted August 22, 2010 Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Why are you so determined to believe anything a Hollywood star tells you? These people are paid b.s. artist, it's what they do for a living. And congrats to Sly for touching a nerve with the audience. THE EXPENDABLES is #1 at the US boxoffice for its second week of release. Other people were also sick of wasp waisted sissies as action leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people were also sick of wasp waisted sissies as action leads. I don't believe a lot of what anyone says but in this situation I just don't care. Sly getting injured or not is just not significant enough to investigate. I enjoyed the movie and the stunt doubles were minimal to non bothersome so I don't care about mishaps or rumors. (At least not that much.) My only problem is that Jet Li's english was pretty bad in this movie when its usually pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted August 23, 2010 Member Share Posted August 23, 2010 I really hope that with the success of this film brings Rambo 5. Even though it wasn't as successful and fun (to the masses), i like the tone of that film a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dionbrother Posted August 23, 2010 Member Share Posted August 23, 2010 RAMBO is the superior film on every level, but if EXPENDABLES had that tone, it wouldn't be nearly as successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Noelle Shadow Kick Posted August 23, 2010 Member Share Posted August 23, 2010 I want an Expendables 2. Since every review I read complained about the action editing, I bed they'd fix it for a sequel. Plus I just want another movie with all those actors. I mean, they didn't even kill Dolph Lundgren so he'd be back! I also want a sequel because I want Kurt Russel to join in haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that even people that liked the movie didn't care for the editing, so that might very well be fixed. I hope they bring in Van Damme---I just watched The Shepherd: Border Patrol the other night, and I thought that was a very solid action movie, and Van Damme can still bring it.

Member Noelle Shadow Kick Posted August 24, 2010 Member Share Posted August 24, 2010 And Van Damme and Kurt Russell for that matter. But hopefully these guys see what they missed out on and agree to a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Karlos Posted August 24, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2010 We all know that Terry Crews stepped in when 50 Cent was booted out/quit (depending on which article you read), but how much of the cast we got was actually first choice? I understand that both Dolph and Steve Austin were cast after the original choices declined, but do we know who they were? I can’t possibly believe Randy Couture was first choice for his role – or am I wrong? I had to smile at the post with the THR Stallone interview, where he says, the main part he working out right now is, who stays for the sequel and who goes – I bet Randy Couture was not happy to read that!!

"Pitbull" had about as much personality as a cracked walnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 None of the Uni Sol films were up to much. But the latest is the worst. Looked cheap and ugly and appeared to have been filmed without the inconvenience of a script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
