One-handed mini car-door removal pretty much says it all.
Fuck... YES!
Chuck Norris got permission from the old folks home for filming!
Also, prediction: We will see a slo-mo roundhouse kick from Van Damme.
Yes, can't wait, looks better than the first.Since Van Damme is in, it's a must see for me.Thanks Sly for not forgetting about real action fans.
I wonder what the conflict between Van Damme's and Stallone's character is all about.
This movie is for the fans.
And I'm a fan. :D
I recently picked up the Director's Cut of the first one and I loved it! It's such a great tribute to ass kicking action films. Can't wait for the 2nd.
Man, this looks like an even more all-star cast than the last one! Van Damme and Chuck Norris on top of Ah-Nuld, Stallone, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Bruce Willis, and Dolph Lundgren. Beautiful stuff there. The only one missing is Segal, shame they couldn't get him on board for this one or the last one.
I really liked the first one, but this one definitely looks like it will be much better! I'm going to have to see this one!
I'm so stoked Van Damme is in it and he's the bad guy...sweet.
If they added Kurt Russell, Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee it'd be perfect. All the same, I'm looking forward to this one almost as much as Avengers tomorrow and Dark Knight Rises this summer. I have a lot of hesitations about both of those, so there I stand.
Heh Kurt Russell owns. But yeah I wasn't big on the first one. I mean did anyone else think the blood always looked too "CG" to be real? I mean what's wrong with good old fashioned squib packs? I thought some of the stabbings looked fake. I dunno movie was okay I guess. But nothing great.
I wanted to watch the first one, but then I found out Jason Statham was in it, so I decided not to.
According to what I've heard, Chuck Norris is such a fundamental holy roller that he said he wouldn't be in the movie unless it was rated PG-13.
Awesome, just awesome. Can't wait to see it.
So, I know Stallone said it'll be R, but Norris pushed for a PG-13 rating... any idea on what this will be rated?
From what I heard, Sly "accidentally" let it slip that it was PG-13, and there was internet fury. Also, Norris's objections seem to be more about sex/cursing than violence, so last I heard they were making it a R for violence, while toning down the language to keep Norris happy. I find this acceptable.Quote:

I've never understood the American rating system. Over the top violence, guns, killing, blood = PG-13. Breasts = rated R
You can still get a R for violence. There's horror movies with no nudity/sex that get R ratings due to violence and cursing.Quote:

Yup.Quote:

Statham's a better actor than like 90% of the first film's cast. Which isn't really saying much... I love Stallone, Lundgren and Arnie, they've got great screen presence, but they aren't exactly masters of their craft when it comes to acting ability.
Watching a movie like Expendables for the acting is like going to a stage production of a Shakespeare play for the explosions and car chases.
Well, the only movie I've seen where Statham actually didn't bother me was "Cellular", because he was the villain. Overall, I'm no longer into action movies that much. I rarely watch movies, but when I do, It's usually a comedy.Quote:

Statham is awesome! The Transporter and Crank are two of my favorite films ever. Most well respected masters of their craft actors would never be believable in an ass kicking action film anyway. In my opinion acting has a lot to do with how the person is in real life, their natural charisma, voice, confidence and body language. Take Clint Eastwood for instance, he doesn't exactly have a wide range, but is totally believable and really watchable in his films.
If you couldn't imagine someone else doing a role better, then the actor must be good. I don't see anyone else being able to fill Stathams film roles much better than he does.
I guess we have different taste in movies, because "Crank" is the worst movie I've ever seen, and is the reason why I hate Jason Statham.Quote:

Is there something wrong with that? We obviously don't have the same taste in movies.Quote:

I'm not into movies that are filled with sex and excessive violence, and that's probably why I enjoyed The Time Machine so much.Quote:

Seriously, there are hundreds of movies that have come out since TTM that are devoid of sex and excessive violence, but that are actually GOOD films, too.
Well then, could you name a few?Quote:

The Time Machine and Evolution are amongst my favorite SciFi films of all time. They were both great and enjoyable films. I'm certain I could find many films you like I personally don't like.Quote:
