The most testosterone filled movie ever. The Expendables

[exitspeed]

Who grew up in the 90's didn't want to see a movie with Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone? We all did. Well kiddies. Here it is!

Premise:

After years of coruption , murder of american hostages and betrayal of foreign policies, The US with the help of other Nations secretly put together a squad of its most trained millitary personal to finaly over throw the dictator who has caused devastation in South America for over 20 years. The team sets out on its mission to complete the assasination but with little help from the nations as they try to keep the mission secret. After they realize that there will be no outside help they rely on their own sources to fight not only the dictator's army but also the Governments that set them up.

So the plot is awesome, and all your old hero's are in it. But Mel, is anyone else in it that I would know? Glad you asked!

The film also stars...



Jason Statham

Jet Li

Dolph Lundgren

Randy Couture

Steve Austin

Mickey Rourke

Serious, can this movie honestly sound more bad ass? Sure it'll probably be overload. But that's what I want for my $20 admission!. Fuckin explosions, one liners, and badassedness.

[qt_240]

w0w is this for real? sounds like it could be EPIC

[Daniel.]

Wow, the cast alone will make this movie super awesome.

[illvialuver]

i want to see reallll explosions too none of this super fake cgi shit.

I want to see a car explode because it has pounds of c4 strapped to its underside.

[DataXUnknown]

Jason statham + Jet Li together in a movie = fucking win

[HyperTek]

i dunno Jason Statham is the same in all his movies.. no emotion. but then again thats the rolls he always goes for.

but yeah everything sounds cool about this movie.

[S13E]

aww what? no Jean Claude VAN DAAAAMMMME!?

[Daniel.]

aww what? no Jean Claude VAN DAAAAMMMME!?

I didn't realize that. You can't have Dolph Lungren in an action movie without JCVD!!!!

[HAWAII]

wow, what is the budget for this movie and which company is it under?

oh yeah, can we get Clint in his cowboy outfit as a cameo?!?

[BustedS13]

wait, $20 for admission? what?

anyway. i miss mel gibson as not a scumbag. lethal weapon and die hard are my two favorite action franchises.

this sounds rad as fuck though.

[SimpleS14]

Seems like its going to be all action, no plot, and unbelievable scenes....












I'm watching it

[drift freaq]

Wait, no Chuck Norris? LOL

[soreballz]

Best cast ever.

Will watch.

[Dutchmalmiss]

+1 on chuck norris. steven segal too.

i'm fuckin excited for this though.

[ThatGuy]

I thought the Governator was supposed to make a cameo as well?

[SimpleS14]

I thought the Governator was supposed to make a cameo as well?

That can be done easily via CGI. Might even be a surprise like T-4.

[RastaS13]

It better not be no brokeback mountain muscle lovemaking drama

[Devil Man]

holy shit thats gonna be one awesome movie... perfect name of a thread for a movie like this.

[325irollin]

I think Jean Claude was asked but denied. Sad. It'll be a crazy awesome movie

[wh0aitznic0]

I will definitely be watching this.

[S14_Kouki]

Anyone find a link to a trailer for this?? i tryed youtube theres somethings, nothing for real tho

[soreballz]

^Its still being made.

[Om1kron]

I didn't realize that. You can't have Dolph Lungren in an action movie without JCVD!!!!

I think to make up for that, they made universal soldier 3 which is in production starring the both of them.

I thought the Governator was supposed to make a cameo as well?

Yeah he is. Bruce Willis was the last one to sign on.

I'd love to see JCVD in it as well as Mel Gibson, but I'm happy with the crazy amount of people in it already.

[WanganRunner]

Arnold and Willis are just cameos.

[bl3ujay07]

I think the movie is going to be sick. Too bad it seems like most of them are going to be in teams and not fight each other.

[Sleepy240]

This will be a blockbuster of epic proportions... I am giddy like a school girl

[Kouki_Love]

this movie sound baller azz fuk!!!! so damn excited now!!!

anyone know when it will be out?

[Bubbles]

It better be brokeback mountain muscle lovemaking drama



I concur, good sir.

[NoOneBetter]

My head exploded just thinking about it.

[exitspeed]

AWESOME has it's first trailer.

[Om1kron]

hahaha holy shit.

[BustedS13]

lol waterboarding
lol Batista

too bad they're going to edit a movie full of hardcore R movie action heroes into a pg-13 cash grab :(

[simmode1]

too bad they're going to edit a movie full of hardcore R movie action heroes into a pg-13 cash grab :(

I'm ok with that. I still enjoyed Die Hard 4 in the theaters... and even more on the unrated DVD. Not a big deal.
I think this movie is gonna be great...

[ThatGuy]

:rofl: :rawk:

This is going to be an awesome, bad movie.

[BustedS13]

gross. 4 was even worse than Die Harder.

[simmode1]

gross. 4 was even worse than Die Harder.

Let me clarify... I enjoyed the everything about 'John McClane' character in Die Hard 4, despite the pg-13 rating. But yes, the movie's villian/sidekick/plotline sucked.

I think Hollywood has learned how to keep a characther's wit and essence entact while toning down the language.

[BustedS13]

and I think the only thing Hollywood has learned is that fans of a series will go to see any sequel, and teenagers have pockets full of their parents' money.
also, romantic comedies are a sure thing because women will drag men to see them, while men will not drag women to see action movies.
i really hated die hard 4. i mean, Bruce Willis is a god, and there were a couple good scenes, but Justin Long, the plot, and the jet riding scene really ruined the whole thing. then i watch the unrated version and they've digitally added a few sprays of blood and you can sort of hear him say "fucker" in "motherfucker" over the gunshot bleep.
it just wasn't the same feeling. the first three movies were soaked in blood, and then this clean thing comes along. eh.

[ESmorz]

If it's pg-13 I can't imagine it will even be worth watching.

They needed Brucey and JCVD for it to be complete though.

[ThatGuy]

Sherlock Holmes is PG-13, contains no harsh language, and no blood spray/dismemberment.

It was highly entertaining and enjoyable.

[Kougeki]

lol waterboarding
lol Batista

too bad they're going to edit a movie full of hardcore R movie action heroes into a pg-13 cash grab :(

Aw! Ya beat me to Batista.
People missing in this movie is
definitely Van Damme and Seagal.
OH! And the revolver scene with Stalone was pretty sweet.

[BustedS13]

Sherlock Holmes is PG-13, contains no harsh language, and no blood spray/dismemberment.

It was highly entertaining and enjoyable.

Star Wars is rated PG and I like it. but it's a different kind of movie.

[ESmorz]

Sherlock Holmes is PG-13, contains no harsh language, and no blood spray/dismemberment.

It was highly entertaining and enjoyable.

Sherlock Holmes isn't a throwback to the awesome action movies of the Late 80's - Early 90's that contained plenty of foul language and gratuitous awfully fake blood.

Apples and Oranges.

[ThatGuy]

Fair enough.

I still think this will be plenty entertaining without those things though.

Peaceful differing opinions. :bow:

[Antihero983]

Jason Statham? Jet Li? Dolph Lungren?

COUNT ME THE FUCK IN DUDE.

[ESmorz]

Fair enough.

I still think this will be plenty entertaining without those things though.

Peaceful differing opinions. :bow:

Indeed, I can understand how people wouldn't care if it didn't have those things, but watching a movie like this without it would seem like they are spitting on everything that made these movies awesome back in the day with the very movie that is paying homage to them.

[wangan_cruiser]

ill keep that movie in mind.

[exitspeed]

NO. This movie will keep you in mind. :squintd:

[BustedS13]

yo dawg we heard you like pg-13 action movies
so we made a light R action movie and then cut it into both pg-13 and R, and we'll sell you both, AND YOU'LL EAT IT UP GOD DAMMIT

[simmode1]

New trailer is out...

YouTube - 'The Expendables' Trailer HD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6RU5y2fU6s)

I don't how to post vids...:mepoke:

[exitspeed]

Holy bloody hell does that look awesome. The part with Arnold, Bruce, and Stallone is epic. Even if it's not an action scene.

[simmode1]

I already want to get the blu-ray... I imagine the behind the scenes and commentary on this movie must be bananas... What must it be like for all these guys to show up at the set and be like "Hmmm, I can't believe we've never worked together before..."

[BustedS13]

The film had an original scheduled release date set at April 23, 2010, but was later pushed back four months until August 13, to extend production time.

this is never a good sign.

[n240sxfnatic]

Omg, omg, omg

[Antihero983]

good fucking god I am so going to see this. that HD preview got me re-hyped lol

[tricky_ab]

A friend just hit me up with a trailer for this and I'm TOTALLY there first day!

[Bubbles]

Would watch based on poster alone.

this i'll agree with. if it winds up being badass, i'd get that poster for the garage

[mrflip69]

Movie needs some sexy time to be complete.

Overall a sausage fest, not including the chick getting water boarded ;) LOL

Is there a rating on this or is it still unrated?

Just noticed "Lionsgate" on the poster, so can only hope for a strong R

[punxva]

bumping this thread up i saw some more previews for it and i'm completely stoked to check it out when it comes out. According to IMDB the release date is set to August 13th

[DALAZ_68]

this movie looks pretty fucken boss...i will watch this in theaters...

[HyperTek]

you know, this would have been complete if they would have got wesley snipes in there too somewhere lol

looks like arnold just has a cameo appearance

[FRpilot]

i was thinking snipes too (and van damn) when i was thinking of action stars in the 90s.

must say, i saw this preview when i was watching predators. saw arnold, but it looked like a cameo to me also. still must watch.

[exitspeed]

Van Damme for me.

Yes, Bruce Willis and Arnold are just camoes.

[exitspeed]

Check out this new trailer on YouTube! Even the advertising for this movie is sick!

YouTube - expendables's Channel (http://www.youtube.com/expendables)

[ALTRNTV]

It should be named "Bad Ass Motherfuckers."

[iamtheyi]

I'm gonna watch it :D.

[ManoNegra]

Can't say I'm excited about this movie
looks way to much like a gimmick to me
seeing those guys in their prime would have ruled though
I'll wait and see what the buzz is before forking out cash to see it

The Losers for me has been the best action movie of the year so far

[satal95]

Just saw this today and if you love action then you will love this movie

[Csomme]

Just got back from seeing it.

It's not a good movie by anymeans.

But it is badass.

The acting is horrible, it feels like WWE made a fucking movie. (Randy, I <3 you, but you suck at acting)

The action and fighting were awesome.


It's soooo corny and so fucking cool at the same time. I suggest you just go see it to find out for yourself.

[simmode1]

God, that was a terrible movie. Chris Evans was it's only saving grace, which makes me hopeful for the Captain America movie.

[FRpilot]

most action movies don't really have a good story line, but who cares. we all go to see action movies for the gun fights, hand to hand combat, and things blowing up.

I'm hoping for effectionately corny like the old 80's movies that made them famous, like Commando, Rambo, ect... Not sure when I'll get to see it though. GF want to see Scott Pilgrim more...:rolleyes:

[hOngsterr]

i rate this movie 6.5/7 out of 10.

the storyline could of been better, whats ironic is the useage of wrestling moves.

[BURSTspeed]

If you like the actors and work they have done, you will like/love the movie. Lots of good action, guns and martial arts. You'll get some laughs too. Tad corny but most movies are nowadays.

[TheWolf]

Do you like guns?

Do you like killing people?

Do you like killing alot of people?

Then this movie is for you.

All I know is that I came away wanting an AA12...

it was awesome.. sit down and experience 1hr 42 minutes of violence. No real foul language. No nudity.. no drugs.. just straight up american violence..

[SochBAT]

This. Movie. ROCKS.

"Too sad to tell."

Story was shit, but all 80s/early 90's stories sucked.

This truely does pay homage to films of yesteryear.

I really wish they would've developed the characters more. Or more non-wrestling fighting.

PS. A badass sequel would be Stallone's team vs. Schwartz's team.

One suit hires Sly, another hires Schwartz. Schwartz secures his target, Sly is meant to free said target. Epic fighting. Eventually team up and take out the suits in that "one last fight" style.

Slowmo of the new SlySchwartz team walking awway from a huge explosion. Like twin-towers huge.

[zspeedrft]

gonna go watch it in a bit...better be good

[tricky_ab]

Not a great movie but it was entertaining. It reminded me a lot of 80's early 90's action movies...

[Kougeki]

Terry Crews Steals the movie!! I loved this movie cause it's an action movie. It lives up to its name. I'm sick of action movies having a love story in it. Just like the new Ben Afleck movie with the bank robberies. First 10 seconds looked good, then a girl was involved and it just looked stupid.

Don't you just hate how the preview gave away the entire movie! Ben Afleck needs employment, so I might see it just because of that. Fell bad for the poor guy.

[cemtoes]

It's amazing how critics rip apart every single movie that isn't a candidate for the oscars.

This movie wasn't supposed to have a great story line, 80s action movie acting was terrible. The idea of this movie was to bring back the nostalgia of the 70s-80s and early 90s action movies. If it would have been a super clean cut, expertly plotted masterpiece it just wouldn't have the same appeal.

It really drives me nuts that so many people (mainly shitty local*yet nationally publicized*critics completely rip this movie apart for everything that it isn't and completely forget about it it really is.

I loved this movie, all action with some comical points. lol at making fun of asians for being short. It lived it up every single one of my expectations. The only part I questioned was when the mansion blew up and the cgi looked like it was straight out of a lower budget movie.

[Silviaracer1988]

just got back from seeing this. it was cheesy as hell and loads and loads of killing and epic explosions. story was lacking imo but its like the old 80s/90s movies for sure. love movies like this.

its worth an admission ticket just to say you saw it regardless if you liked it or not. something good to talk about lol

[BustedS13]

post-ban update: this movie was pretty rad.

[upsdude]

the acting in "The Expendables" was bad; and the dialogue was even worse. the only thing cheesier than that as stallone's hair. he looked like an old chola all his hair markered in. "The Losers" was much, MUCH better movie. It was funny, and had plenty of action as well.

[simmode1]

I haven't seen Expendables yet, but if you're saying Losers is better... wow... thats bad cuz that movie was shit.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

"The Losers" was much, MUCH better movie. It was funny, and had plenty of action as well.
I'm going to agree with this... That and Stallone's acting was fucking terrible... Some of the special effects looked cheesy as well.

I still enjoyed it.

[FRpilot]

movie brought me back to the 80's, 90s type of action movies. i wasn't expecting a great story line or acting. just lots of action, explosions, and cheesy lines. (remember arnold's lines in commando?)

if there was one thing that i was dissapointed with, it was the lack of action. the movie has a run time of 103 mins, but i felt like there was only 80 mins of action. i was expecting 100 of the 103 mins to be action. sly is working on a sequel though, maybe he'll fix this.
