New UK Movie Poster for Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables

The Schizo:
"I chew lead and sh*t nails!"

That sounds interesting. I'm just wondering, what Schwarzenegger is doing there...

Im seeing this and scott pilgrim on the same day

GOTTA HAND IT TO STALLONE, HE KNOW HOW TO FEED THE ACTION JUNKY, AND HE'S STILL AS BUFF AS BACK IN THE DAY..

Sweet find @ BRENT!

Got a 80's feel to it!!!

Cannot wait!

Thanks, guys! It's hard to keep up with the other news junkies on this site, but I try to get in some news when I can.

Anyone know how tall Li is? I've heard that Stallone is pretty short and I met Statham and we were eye-to-eye (I'm 5'10"). Just curious...

Brent: I don't think I've ever seen an article posted by you that is anywhere near repetative on any subject. They are always cool. ;)

If anyone wants a good laugh, check out my (((Conan The Barbarian: The Musical))) article in features. :)

Brent- Abooouuuuuuuut... tree fitty.

This movie is gonna own. Glad Statham is getting second billing. I wish he'd get a better franchise to star in. Kind of a fake out the way the have Bruce and Arnold on there. Aren't they only in like one scene?

If I was old out of shape Arnold I'd be embarrassed to stand next to Sly at this point.

Mass- HA! Yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhhh LOL ;P

johan02- Ahnuld won't be fighting Sly at all.

Mass- He most certainly does. But it was also because he was trying something more serious with JCVD. It worked out great but i still think he should've gotten himself a sense of humour and hopped in on the Expendables train.

TABOO13- Lundgren took Van Damme's spot. As for Seagal, i would've liked him to be in it but i'm content with him being in Machete.

Stumblin- Yep. Can't take away the classics :)

yeah seagal would totally "weigh" down this movie. van dame would have been good though. im surprised he passed.

Brent- Thanks man ;) And yeah, i think they just love to use the word "buck". Like "buck-o-five" n' shit.

Yeah, Seagal is done. Stick a fork in'em. I'm a laugh my ass off at Machete LOL

By the way SHAMAN@ luv yer Shiff Flash Avatar!
Now that was one cool-ass Flash-suit!

Thanks DDD! And honestly speaking, there has NEVER been a better live action superhero suit made than Shipp's Flash suit. EVER!!! That includes ALL of them. Yes... ALL of them, of all time!

One that isn't completely predictable, has actual actors and not a bunch of muscle headed 80's "Stars" and todays wooden goons like Statham(I do like Li though), isn't so over the top as to become completely ridiculous, has an actual plot, even if its rudimentary, just have an ACTUAL plot and not people taking about blowing stuff up and then blowing it up for 2 hrs(The A-Team). and dialog that doesn't read like it was written on the back of a beer mat by a 10 year old.

Some examples of action movies that I think set the standard. Die hard. yes, its over the top, but not so completely unbelievable that it takes you out of the movie. they also make you care about John McLane and the dilog is pretty good too. Great villain in Rickman. All of the Bourne films. Serenity..you could argue its a sci fi movie(which of course it is) but there is a hell of a lot of action in it, its just balanced very well. Countless Asian martial arts and action films like Hard Boiled, Infernal Affairs(maybe more of a thriller..), Crouching Tiger, Hero. Then veering into sci fi, Terminator, Predator, Aliens, Robocop.. there are lots.

I get that films like this appeal to a sense of nostalgia and I do have that a small bit because these are guys I watched as a kid, but even then I knew the movies were crap, I just watched for the fights and stuff. I just can't do that anymore, maybe thats a bad thing, but thats just how I look at it now. There has to be some substance to any movie..even an action movie. Hey I might be way off, I'm only going by the trailer after all, and I would certainly watch The Expendables if you put it on in front of me and fed me beer! But the bottom line for me is I don't care if Jesus, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny star in it, it better me a solid film too to get my money.
