Re: The Expendables

The cast for this is astounding. Except for the rating (which I normally could care less about), I am very excited for this film.

Re: The Expendables

The cast is actually too good because there's just no way every name that deserves his own highlights will get them. But it's one of my most anticipated movies regardless

Re: The Expendables

Is Sly a closet 'Buffy' fan? Julie Benz was the female lead in 'Rambo', and now I see Charisma Carpenter is showing up in this one.

That cast is insane. If this even halfway resembles 'Commando' (either by design or by accident), this will be on some level totally awesome.

Re: The Expendables

Even if it sucks it will still be awesome. I have a feeling it will be great, though. Rocky Balboa and John Rambo were both great for me. Stallone a seasoned write/director now?

Weird, huh?

Re: The Expendables

Mickey Rourke is in this too? They *must* get Van Damme to reconsider, c'mon dude.

Carl Weathers should be in too, but maybe they'll save for Expendables 2.

Good idea, but (and this is complete speculation) any sequel would have a mostly new cast. Based off the title and plot I would assume that this is a take on the basic idea of "The Dirty Dozen"; in that most of the cast does not survive the film.

I admit this is a guess, but it would be cool if Sly had the guts to kill most of the cast off.

I have a funny feeling even if that is the case, Stallone's character will survive, lol.

Re: The Expendables

Caught a program yesterday where they were building an old '56 Ford 100 truck for this movie. Actually 3 of the same truck (a hero truck, stunt truck and green truck). I hadn't even heard of this movie until it was mentioned on what ever car show that was.

After reading over Ain't It Cool News, I'm kinda stoked to see this movie. Awesome casting.

The trailer for this has just leaked onto Youtube. I won't bother linking because they seem to be yanking them as soon as they go up but if you search around you'll probably find it.

When it started playing, I began smiling, and as the explosions and punching kept stacking up my grin just got bigger and bigger. "Bring it, happy feet!" :)

I think this is going to be the movie I was expecting 'Inglourious Basterds' to be - a new take on Dirty Dozen. I wasn't disappointed by Tarantino's movie but it totally wasn't what I thought it would be. This reminds me of all those all-star disaster movies from the 70's. Can't wait to check it out

All they need now is Chuck Norris.

I just have this bad feeling that this is going to be pure cheese action.  You know, the "jumping off the cliff while shooting two pistols, hitting two targets in the head, falling 50 feet, landing on your feet, rolling into a front roll summersault, running up the back of a car shooting two more targets and an exploding barrel, explosion vaults hero into the air into a double back flip, lands in the water, holds breath while swims across a lake, battles a sea monster, gets out of lake, takes shirt off, kisses the supermodel, rides away on harley" style movie.

You mean like any one of Jason Statham's movies or Jason Bourne or Quantum of Solace? Yeah, we don't need any more of those, thanks. If you're going to make a cheeseball action flick on purpose, make it an homage to cheeseball 80's action movies

I´ve just seen the trailer. I loved it when Goldberg asked Stallone: Who send you?
and Sly replied: Your hairdresser!

Whoa!  It is like 80's action movie porn! 

Stallone and Schwarzenegger are finally on screen together!?  Hell, I did think we would ever see Arnie on the big screen again.  This is really a surprise for me.  Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke...just amazing. 

Not really execting much of a story, but just seeing all these guys on screen is really something!

My thoughts as well,except I was disappointed by QTs film. Why that movie was called Inglorious Basterds I have no idea.

Plus ANGEL star Charisma Carpenter. Kicked demon ass and was occasionally a total bitch about it. Miss her. :)

At the last two movies I've seen, this is the only trailer that got the audience vocal, both times. Biggest cheer was when Arnold shows up. Sucks that it is just a cameo, but I really think there is a lot of pent up excitement to see Arnold return to the silver screen.

Anyone else thinks Schwarzenegger will make movies again after his term is over? Maybe he'll start with smaller, cameo-type roles and eventually do big films again, perhaps he'll even make sequels to his most popular movies. Anyway, why does the poster for Expendables remind me of Inglorious Basterds?

Based on the audience reaction when he comes on in the trailer, I surely hope he comes back to movies. The material needs to be right though. Give us True Lies 2!

Arnold needs to do King Conan. Perfect age for it.
