Like I give a shit if they actually liked each other (although that's gotta be a bogus claim, Stallone is a socialite kind of guy and Arnold is another legit cool guy).

I never said they didn't like eachother, in fact they ran a business together, Planet Hollywood or something.

Holy cow. That may very well be one of the greatest movies of all time. I just really wish Kurt Russell and Jean-Claude Van Damme would have agreed to be in the film as well.

I feel like this looks a bit bland. It could just be the trailers, but it seems to take itself way too seriously. It should be a total over the top cheese-fest for what it is.

Also, it's a bit disappointing that Arnold and Bruce are only cameos. It's cool that they share the screen finally, but 10-15 years ago it could have been bigger, and involved them more. Especially since I was never the biggest Stallone mark. Especially compared to the other two, or even Van Damme.

And what's with some of the choices? I realize they couldn't get everyone they wanted probably, but I don't see how Terry Crews, Couture and even Stone Cold fit into this. They are "tough guys" I guess, but have next to no action movie background between them.
They feel like fill ins for Van Damme, Seagal and Chuck Norris and/or Wesley Snipes.

Finally, I can't stand Jason Statham, but I guess he's the modern contribution to this.

Basically I dislike half the lineup, wish Arnold and Bruce Willis were actually major players, and miss the glaring omissions.

That concludes my over-analysis of a simple action movie. I will see it anyways

All these people saying it would rule 20 years ago, why is this? because they were younger?

20 years ago these guys didn't have all their roles and hits under their belt, it wouldn't mean as much as it does now. I feel as though this could be the beginning of the end with regard to an era of action movies and the stars that made them. It's like one of the few goodbyes and last adventures we may see these people do. Obviously I'm talking about the older guys.

JCVD and Segal should've been in this.

Kurt Russell can fuck off and try and re-take his crown from Gerard Butler in the new Escape From New York than star in this.

Not because they were younger, but because they were "in their prime" and action movies were made differently for the most part.

Also, I can assure you that a movie with Stallone and Arnold in it would mean way more 20 years ago than it does now.
They're both kind of relics now. That doesn't mean they've been forgotten, but they're not the box office and pop culture icons they were in the late 80s and early 90s.

OK yeah sure they were in their prime, but 20 years ago, technology, equipment and general stunt practices were in some ways tamer and less entertaining than some now, so it depends really with that.

And yes, I agree, it would mean more in terms of box office potential, and what they could actually do on screen, but hell - at least it's come to this where they got who they can to be part of it and do something rather than nothing.

I'd be lying if I said the Anrold/Stallone/Bruce Willis meeting isn't the main reason I will go see this, even if it's only for one scene.
Hopefully there's a bit more to it and one of them ends up the villain or something. I doubt it though

I know I'm kinda hating the fact that what we see in the trailer is all it's going to be, but then there could be more. Maybe. Possibly. Hopefully.

Don't get me wrong. It's still a great concept and should be fun. I'm just voicing some thoughts on how it may have been in the prime of the era it is cashing in on.
Either way I really don't care when it's made though. It could be made in the 90s or now, it's the absence of JCVD and Seagal and the small involvement of Arnold/Bruce that I was nitpicking.
All of them having a bigger role instead of some of the filler in this would make it that much more amazing.
As I said though, I will still see it and I'm really just nitpicking it for the sake of discussion.

I wouldn't be suprised if we saw Expendables 2: Now With More Arnold and JCVD if this does well.

Arnold is leaving office and supposedly going back into acting in the winter. I wonder what his first role will be.
I was hoping he would make time for a cameo in Predators

I might go monday since I work all weekend.

Im almost looking forward to Machete more though..that comes out in 3 weeks.

Quote:
Robert Rodriguez's upcoming film Machete, starring Danny Trejo and based on the fake trailer of the same title from Robert's 2007 collaboration Grindhouse, with Quentin Tarantino, will now see the best friends teaming up once again to deliver the retro goods according to a rumour. Sometime this month, Tarantino will apparently film a fake trailer to precede Machete, titled Agent Orange.

Our source indicates that it will be set in 1975 and will feature Tim Roth as Agent Ringo Orange, a British soldier who wants to restart the Vietnam war. Roth will share the screen in the trailer with Rick Yune, who will play Li Chan, Orange's South Vietnamese sidekick. It will also star Sacha Baron Cohen as Colonel Weathers, and Stacy Keach as Doc Franklin, the rumoured antagonist.
They need to stop doing fake trailers for movies that Id actually want to see.

They should keep the fake trailers coming. I am excited for Machete but I do wish that it was Grindhouse 2, with another film and a bunch of fake trailers.

I understand that will never happen again though, because the length really hurt the movie at the box office. That and the fact that lots of people didn't "get it."

I would have laughed at that, but when I saw it tonight with my brother and SIL, someone did go there with their whole family. 7 year old was the youngest, I think. Even with all the violence, I didn't hear a single scream or cry. I don't know whether to be amused or disgusted.

Good mindless action film though. A bit too violent for my liking... but I'll watch it again.
