Video was removed due to copyright problems. But I see this is the new movie by Stallone, which they filmed some scenes in Rio de Janeiro.

Also Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Looks like all stars movie. Some would even say old boys movie... only Van Damme and Segal are missing :klatsch_3:


edit

damn

forgot Kurt Russel

[saebrtooth]

I think ur first 3 were the best bet, Kurt Russel was not much of a match in terms action star compared to the other 3

[dreamer]

nice cast! by the way I'm sure you know Brittany Murphy died about a year ago..

According to this JCVD turned the offer down , which put Lundgreen in his place. Filmstalker: Van Damme turned down Stallone's The Expendables (http://www.filmstalker.co.uk/archives/2008/11/van_damme_turned_down_stallone.html)

Wow..didn't notice before but this movie has some really great actors lol.
It cannot fail.

[saebrtooth]

As long as they live up to their old action performance this will be a hit

[Empoleon]

[caballero]

with this cast, this is going to be epic plus the plot seems to be great.
2 months and a bit

[slikrapid]

not sure about that, as they say: too many cooks spoil the broth (unless its above 10 ;))

next, when was the last time any of these actors had a decent action movie?

stallone: 2 years ago with rambo, he can make a good fim, but he is getting old fast
statham: i thought his crank, transport-er, whatev-er movies were garbage (mean machine & snatch were fun)
jet li: mainly martial arts movies and now he plays 1/2 a man!

other known actors are either mostly b-movie level or don't have lead roles

the trailers aren't really impressive, most likely it'll be a good laugh seeing them 'in action' again, but i don't have high hopes for anything much above average :tongue:

[tokiodrift1]

Too many heroes in one movie is not always that good as people would imagine.
you must consider that the movie runtime is only usually around 1 1/2 hours, so that means every actor will try to be a main role with a lot of runtime.
That is simply hard to manage.

But it could be possible to get a good visual experience even if there are lots of good actors, a wondeful example of well-integrated actors is 'tropic thunder', great fun.

I'm really expecting too much about this movie!!! Especially after new Rambo and all violence and gore mmm i love r rated .

[yoco]

Finally saw it. I must say I was a bit disappointed. I expected to be a little better!

6/10

[mike_P]

Was a good fun movie...reminded me of the action movies of the 90's....just disconnect your brain before seeing it and enjoy the ride

[tonzon]

Great Cast.. But a not so great movie... I was disappointed.

Would not recommend anyone to watch it.
