Member ShaOW!linDude Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 If this will get him away from wire-fu and into some grounded fight work for his action sequences, then I'm down. I'd love to see him pitted against someone worthy for a decent end fight in the finale. (Wait do you hear that? Is that Lennon's ghost suddenly singing, "They say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one....") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member blue_skies Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 Well The Expendable flicks suck, and so does Jackie now, so a great match! Well said. I'm sure as far as Jackie is concerned it's like all the rest of his movies he's made in recent years, it's just another juicy paycheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 I semi-enjoyed both "Expendables" films for the silly, pandering cheese-fests they were and, in all honesty, I'm happy to see Jackie join the cast. I'm just not sure why. However, I feel as though they have missed the boat a little. He won't fight Jet Li as they're both good guys (will Jet even be in the third film?) and Scott Adkin's was offed in the second. So who will Jackie's big fight be with? Let's pray to God it isn't Nicholas Cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm predicting a brief shining moment from Jackie akin to Jet's moment in the beginning of part 2. I will just wait for that one to pop up in youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 Since I liked the second Expendables film (more than the first) I am looking forward to this, especially his fight with Don "The Dragon" Wilson after he dispatches Nicholas Cage (or vice versa).

Member Chinatown Kid Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 Maybe Jack could take on Seagal, don't know if Jackie's style of fighting would work with the quick cut style Aikido of Seagal though. Hell put Van Damme's opponent Bolo in there too, I wish they could get Tony Jaa in the movie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 Well, with Keanu Reeves already bringing him into a Hollywood co-production, Iko Uwais might be a more likely candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 ...put...Bolo in there too,.... This idea is kung fu cinematic gold!!!! Jackie Chan vs Bolo? Of course, I know this won't happen. Still, I must now go change shirts as mine is drenched in drool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member muppetdanny Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 I love The Expendables films and seeing Jackie take part in 3rd should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 Wait...wait! I've got it... So the "The Expendables" is meant to be grand fanfare for the action heroes of yesteryear, no? It's meant to be nostalgia squared and squared again, right? So, in part three Jackie finds himself alone while the rest of the team go in search of whatever it is they're seeking. Jackie wanders into a seemingly empty warehouse. Scaffolding, old planes, jeeps etc. litter the place. It's silent. All of a sudden Jackie spots two figures approaching. Two henchmen it would seem. The figure get closer and the camera finally reveals their faces... Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. The three then give us a showdown the true fans of kung fu cinema will never forget. An memorable ode to the days of "Dragons Forever" and "Wheels on Meals," complete with comic flare. That's too much to ask for isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TheGrimReaper Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 I enjoyed the first two movies (the first part was Director's cut though) and I do think that Chan would be valuable addition to the franchise, if Jet couldn't reprise his role for third time (which I too hope). However it is a bit late for Jackie (as well as much of the stars in it) to show-off against someone else - he did that in the late 80's. But look what happened to Stallone and Arnold - they seemed to revive their carrers at old age... Besides if Corey Yuen is again choreographer of the fight scenes I will not be impressed...

Guest Markgway Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Jackie's career is in such a state attaching himself to The Expendables franchise could only be a positive move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member QueMuchita Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 I enjoyed the first 2 films, particularly the second one. I don't know where Jackie will fit in but I look forward to seeing him in the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 66 Mantis Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hey, why the hell not? This series is mostly about famous '80s action stars now well past their prime, doing some retro action. Jackie fits right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted December 18, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2012 As far as I know, Jet Li is done ( no Arnie or Bruce returning either, apparently) with the franchise and Stallone has said that he's looking to shake up the cast for part 3. Chan is as good a fit as any. I'd like to see him playing it straight(ish) and, as others have said, showing some grounded, real moves once more with no wire-fu crap. And yeah, Chan Vs Bolo? Yes, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'm still more excited about the female "Expendables" than the third outing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Lionclaw Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 This is some really good news. Hes probably replacing Jet Li. While these films aren't the greatest action films ever they are really entertaining and fan pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
