Member daisho2004 Posted August 25, 2010 Member Share Posted August 25, 2010 Well, it was a poor excuse for a movie. The only time is came to life was when Dolph Lundgren was on screen. "Pitbull" had about as much personality as a cracked walnut Markgway: I kinda agree with you I think Dolph is the Man and I really was hoping he was going to fight with "The Pitbull" in the movie. But he also did make the movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dionbrother Posted August 26, 2010 Member Share Posted August 26, 2010 Aaron Banks, Bob Wall and Clint Walker should be in the next EXPENDABLES. And Bill Louie, Bruno Sammartino, Harley Race and Klinton Spilsbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted August 26, 2010 Administrator Share Posted August 26, 2010 Wow, Clint Walker just turned 83 a few months ago. Still- a very cool dude for sure.... NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Noelle Shadow Kick Posted August 26, 2010 Member Share Posted August 26, 2010 If we're going with a Clint who is 80 years old and known for western roles.......haha what about Clint Eastwood? Shouldn't he be thought of first? He's still an awesome badass, even in his old age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted August 26, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2010 In Expendables 2, I'd like to see a flashback to the 80's with Sly's original unit, consisting of: Leo "Keep that bowl on my head steady, I don't want to end up with a funny haircut" Fong Sho Kosugi (MUST have eye-liner on) Michael Dudikoff Brent Huff ("It can be done!!!") That bloke off The Last Dragon Eric Lee Needless to say, they get all wiped out within the first five minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted August 26, 2010 Member Share Posted August 26, 2010 If Gary Daniels got to be in the 1st film and Don "The Dragon" Wilson was in Batman Forever (As the skull-face painted gang leader Dick Grayson beats up), then here's who I think should be in THE EXPENDABLES 2: Hell, get Loren Avedon! I'd love to see him as a villain taking on perhaps Jet Li or Dolph Lundgren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever happened to him anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member make believe Posted August 27, 2010 Member Share Posted August 27, 2010 RAMBO is the superior film on every level, but if EXPENDABLES had that tone, it wouldn't be nearly as successful. Not that I'm a big fan of Rambo but the movies were all entertaining enough to sit through at least once. The last one however, which also had the most potential, was completely ruined by the horrendously distracting cg effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't bug me when compared to how CGI is used for gore in current horror movies. Sly was heavily inspired by the action in the South Korean film BROTHERHOOD OF WAR. It oddly captured the tone of David Morrell's original FIRST BLOOD novel more than FIRST BLOOD the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, Terry Crews' gun was awesome, I loved that thing. Favorite movie gun of all time still goes to the shotgun from T2 Judgement Day. It's so badass how it reloads by spinning around the hand.

I think Fong should get the best line of the movie. But he only gets that one line. Add to that cast Ron Van Clief, Dale Cook, Brigitte Nielson, Tong Po, Richard Harrison and Tom Arnold, and I'll be the first one in line to see the sequel.

Guest Markgway Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 The Expendables ** Disappointed is the word. Let's see... atrocious dialogue (much of it inaudible due to mumbling, thick accents, and poor sound mixing) Wooden acting (Stallone can't even move his facial muscles anymore) Action sequences ruined by shaky CLOSE UP camerawork and inept framing CGI Blood (STOP with this shit!!) Lack of nudity (two attractive women and neither gets their baps out) Absence of plot (you know how they joke about scripts being written on the back of beer mats.... I think this one actually was) Wasting of valuable cast members (Jet Li is too good a performer to be stuck as B-list sidekick) Planet Hollywoood reunion (what a bust - looks like it was shot in 10 mins during someone's coffee break) Also it was LOUD. Incredibly. Fucking. LOUD. Like someone holding a cordless drill to your ear for 2 hrs. The violence was sooooooo over-the-top as to be like that in a video game (genuine 80s movies were NOT like this). This maybe the most mindlessly, graphically violent action film I've ever seen with a '15' certificate. What insaniac thought this WASN'T a clear '18'? They say they don't make 'em like they used to. They were right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ben Posted September 2, 2010 Member Share Posted September 2, 2010 Ended up watching it twice in the theater. Yes the dialogue isn't of great quality, the fight scenes could have been shot/edited better, without the fast cuts and close ups, but it was a fun film, enjoyable to watch, particularly the battle going near the end of the movie. I'll be interested to see this director's cut, I wonder what could have been added or changed compared to the theatrical release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted September 2, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 2, 2010 im waiting the expendables clone straight to dvd's to come out.. Speak of the Devil... Yesterday on a shelf in Best Buy I saw EXPENDABLES 2! I just had to pick it up (off the shelf- not to buy it! ) to see what they were trying to sell. It's one of those bullshitty 4 movies sets. It looked like a bunch of old 80's films, but one of them was called/renamed EXPENDABLES 2. What a bunch of little swindlers. Though, I almost feel like- if a person is silly enough to think there's a DTV sequel in stores for a film that's still in the theaters and doing big box office... welll then they deserve it!

You're totally right, bro, these sets usually stink - but for once, this set is awesome as it includes the mega rare Cirio Santiago Vietnam war film - from where Sly undoubtedly got the name from - as well as 3 other hard to come by action films. Think the film they're calling EXPENDABLES 2 is a rare Italian war actioner, called WILD TEAM. It's a shame that these films are finally getting a DVD release with the main intent being to, as you say, con people into thinking there's already a sequel out there!
