The Expendables is an upcoming 2010 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_in_film) ensemble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_cast) action film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_film) directed and written by Sylvester Stallone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_Stallone). Filming began on March 28, 2009 in Brazil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil), New Orleans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans) and Los Angeles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_California) and is expected to be released on August 22, 2010. "The Expendables has a seventy million-dollar budget," says Stallone's co-star Dolph Lundgren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolph_Lundgren),[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expendables_%282010_film%29#cite_note-0) "and it's an old-school, kick-ass action movie where people are fighting with knives and shooting at each other." The film pays tribute to the blockbuster action films during the 1980s and early '90s, as the film includes action veterans from those decades (such as Stallone himself, Dolph Lundgren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolph_Lundgren), Arnold Schwarzenegger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Schwarzenegger), Bruce Willis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Willis)).

[StylinRed]

look at this fucking photo of Stallone on-set

HE'S 63!!!

official site (www.theexpendablesmovie.net)


old news but i didnt know, Jean Claude Van Damme turned down an offer to be in the movie:
You can’t really have a group of 80s action heroes without the muscles from Brussels turning up but unfortunately Jean Claude Van Damme has thrown a no to Stallone in turning up for the film, which is a real shame, it’d be just as good to his face added to the mix with all the rest of the fist throwers in the film – but that ain’t going to happen.

Best bud of Van Damme, Sheldon Lettich (director of 80s greatness ‘Double Impact’) recently gave a bit of info on the matter explaining that...

"Apparently, Sly was pissed too. Sly made the offer personally. They spoke on the phone for a half hour or so. JC apparently gave Sly the explanation about following a new and different career path for himself now."

[liu13]

dolph lundgren, woot woot

[murd0c]

Sly said he was cranking for this movie, it shows for sure.

[StylinRed]

yeah i guess that's why he wants to do another Rambo


edit: correction 2 more Rambo movies

[Ch28]

http://www.popeater.com/2010/01/06/steve-austin-broke-sylvester-stallones-neck/

Sylvester Stallone (http://www.popeater.com/tag/SylvesterStallone/) got so into a fight scene with Steve Austin (http://www.popeater.com/tag/SteveAustin/) while shooting 'The Expendibles' last year that he broke his neck, resulting in "a very serious operation afterwards."

Speaking to FHM magazine, the 'Rocky' icon revealed how intense the shoot went: "Man, it was seven guys, kicking each other's ass, one guy tougher than the next. No joke, our stunt guys were begging for mercy. Actually, my fight with Stone Cold Steve Austin was so vicious that I ended up getting a hairline fracture in my neck. I'm not joking."

He added: "I haven't told anyone this, but I had to have a very serious operation after wards. I now have a metal plate in my neck."

The movie, which Sly scripted and directed, revolves around a group of old-fogey mercenaries on a mission to topple a foreign dictator. It features some of the biggest names in action, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willil, Mickey Rourke and Jet Li. The young pup in the flick is Jason Statham, 26 years Stallone's junior.

It also stars Brittany Murphy, who died in December.

Stallone told the magazine that his cast maintained high intensity throughout the making of the film, in theaters this August.

"Man, those guys were up for it. They got out of bed at 5.30am just to shoot a small five-minute scene," he said.

[skyxx]

Finally a true "MANLY" movie!

arnold, willis and stallone in a scene together? shit, this movie is spilling with testosterone, anti-pussy movie of the year, it better be good

its a shame van damme and snipes (i guess Crew is needed for comic relief) is not in this, screw segal he's a pain to watch anyways

[westcoastgsr]

I pray that this movie will be rated R. I've been waiting for this cast back in the 80's early 90's.

[Ronin]

For fuck's sake, we don't need four threads about this one movie...as awesome as it looks.

[Vansterdam]

GONNA BE SO FUCKEN EPIC!!

[Gt-R R34]

can't fucking wait!!

[Gt-R R34]

Giving this a SMALL BUMP (even if this is still on front page, anyone else that opens another thread, points points points points and more points.)

[SiRV]

just realized they are missing chuck norris!!

[Valour]

[Hehe]

This movie is gonna be so epic a sissy will probably wet his pants... can't wait.

[qwerty69]

[strykn]

going to the midnight screening, gonna have testosterone overload O_O!1!1

[DavidNguyen]

i think this movie is overly hyped. probably wont be that great

[hotjoint]

Finally, been waiting on this movie since summer started

[MR_BIGGS]

Watching it Friday.

[Gumby]

i think this movie is overly hyped. probably wont be that great
If you go in expecting Academy-Award winning performances, then yes, it won't be that great.

[dachinesedude]

some of you have too high expectations!

i expect this to be a fun and non-stop action type of movie, sorta like the transporter movies, iffy story maybe? who cares, i just wanna see fighting and shit blowing up

if you want a deep story and great acting, go watch a drama

[winson604]

I'm going to just assume but I don't think anyone is expecting an acadamy award winning movie with an awesome script and top notch acting. I think everyone expects guns, violence, shiet blwoing up and it being entertaining. When people are talking about the hype and how it might end up sucking they mean just that and that is that it might not be that entertaining and not really as badass as we hoped. It wouldn't be the first time a movie had a lot of hype only to lack in action and be totally lame. Just my 2 cents and personally I can care less if this movie sucks cause I'm watching it for sure because really how can you not?

[westcoastgsr]

I'm going in with low expectations. Remember we were all kids when we watched "classic" actions movies and they seemed sooo good back then. I've watched some of them again and man they are cheesy (minus a few like Predator which IMO is a classic)

Go in and turn off your brain...and enjoy the action and tons of shit blowing up.

[MR_BIGGS]

Watching an afternoon show!! Can't wait....

looking forward to shit blowing up, people dying, priceless one-liners..and vixens

[murd0c]

going to the 930 show at guildford. I expect it to be horrible LOL

[Culture_Vulture]

going to the 930 show at guildford. I expect it to be horrible LOL
Just watched the 1:30 show at Guildford. Empty theatre ftw :)


I will say though some of the actors were more or less extras. Bruce Willis had less than 5 minutes in this entire film, and Arnold Schwarzenegger even less. Both had pretty ambiguous roles that were not clearly defined, but the good news is that it didn't interfere with the plot.

[murd0c]

just got back, its what I expected and they had some good one liners lol

[JSilver]

Damn I need to catch this movie.

[penner2k]

Just got back from seeing it..
Its exactly what I expected it to be so I'm happy..

[strykn]

crews with that shotgun god damn.

[MR_BIGGS]

Watched the 3:50 show at Guilford yesterday.

Went in expecting:

-Not to be Grammy material
-Have good one-liners
-Ass kicking
-People dying
-Shit blowing up

It delivered on all levels!

Like others, can't go in expecting much...

[woob]

1 hour and 30 minutes of greatness. Don't expect an Academy Award nominee and you will love this movie hahaha


"What's his problem?"

"He wants to be president."

[MR_BIGGS]

LOL....that was hilarious.

[murd0c]

The line before that one was way better lol

[LiquidTurbo]

I went into the movie expecting the worse... and .. it was pretty bad. Amusing at some parts, but just not a coherent plot, and the action scenes were so incoherent. Quite a shame!

[Hi_Im_Mike]

Man this movie was fuckin' epic!!!
Caught the 10:30 showing at metrotown. Alot of good scenes. I thought the A team was good but the expendables are much better! Lol @ Jet Li and them racist asian jokes..

[carisear]

this movie delivered exactly as promised! 10/10

[Greg C.]

Caught this Sunday night at Coquitlam. The audience looked like dropouts from UFC, LOL! Anyways, the action in this was top-notch but the dialogue was TERRIBLE, and caused the movie to grind to a halt whenever something wasn't blowing up or getting shot full of holes. Fortunately, the movie was 80% things getting blown up or shot full of holes, so I had a great time! One cool bonus - with all the action movie heroes on the screen at once you really got a good idea of who was still in shape. IMHO, Jet Li and Jason Statham looked the most polished (Statham REALLY kicked some ass) and Lundgren and Stallone have lost a step or two over the years, Couture was pretty much useless and Crews was good times. I'd give this a 5/10 as a movie, but an 8/10 on the enjoyment factor. ** Fingers crossed for a sequel - Maybe with Brock Lesnar and the Rock for sheer craziness. ***

[Valour]

Academy moment - Mickey Rourke. C'mon, that guy has gooood acting!

Stallone's face couldn;t move because of botox, Lundgren is just.... brain dead.

I wanted more Terry Crews. He should done the robot dance while Shotgunning

Couture... yeah, needed more development.

Eric Roberts.... sigh... u know the only saving grace with this guy is that he was in DoA movie with some hot chicks and the beach volleyball scene (Sarah Carter droooool!).

[woob]

the dialogue was TERRIBLE

hahahah no way man. The awkwardness made the dialogue hilarious :rofl:

[MR_BIGGS]

I think I was waiting for that too!:rofl:

i want a ducati

[Grandmaster TSE]

me and my girlfriend couldn't stop laughing when Terry Crews was going crazy with his gun

[maxxxboost]

T-money was AWESOME!
Watched it yesterday and man, movie seemed short after all that action.

[StylinRed]

Lundgren is just.... brain dead.



people always say he looks acts like he's dumb as a rock but you know the guy has a Masters in Chemical Engineering and got a Fullbright scholarship to MIT (he dropped out to pursue acting though) not only that but he was one of the top Kyokushin (sp?) in Sweden/world + an award winning body builder

the guys a friggen machine

[gdoh]

wow this movie all i gotta say is "hot shots"

[woob]

T-money was AWESOME!
Watched it yesterday and man, movie seemed short after all that action.

It was short. It was <1.5 hours

[spoon.ek9]

Jet Li's most memorable line in the movie was "because i'm short" :facepalm: :lol

i agree with 5/10 rating.

[Vansterdam]

6./10

it was good but not great lol

[pastarocket]

The dialogue in this movie is good in some parts. I'd give this movie 7/10 based on the action scenes, the funny dialogue between Jet Li and Stallone('My life is so difficult, hahah) and Mickey Rourke's scene with Stallone. Rourke show his good acting when he talks about the "man's soul" and regret about not saving a person's life when he had the chance.

Awesome action scenes! The variety of weapons and fighting in the scenes make this one of the bloodiest action films this summer. The A Team cast of characters look tamer compared with these bad ass mofos.

Let me get this straight. You went into this movie expecting acting, dialogue, and plot? You trippin homie

[welfare]

no. i wouldn't pay to see this.
my gf said the same thing: "oh, it's an action movie, i know what to expect"
but, i mean, they pay so much for these actors/writers, and they stink.
maybe the only really good action movies are foreign ones
i just don't understand why it has to be this way.

Yeah the only other movie that I think got dvd ripped right away was I am legend. I believe a dvd copy was out about 3 days after it hit theatres. I'm still waiting on a nightmare on elm street. All these other movies like avatar came out way later then that and they're already out on dvd wtf? :lol

There has been others, one of the craziest releases was American Gangster where a DVD Screener with perfect quality was released before it even hit the theatres.

Oh yeah, you're right. I remember getting that before it hit theatres :D

[Hi_Im_Mike]

Everyone remember X-Men Origins Wolverine with some missing CG scenes? Lol hilarious shit...


Anyways, it's either BRrip (Blu-Ray) or I don't want it. Let me know when you guys spot that thanx!

[KingDeeCee]

I think everyone wanted more Terry Crews. Hell, fuck Stallone.

[KuSouL]

it was a great action movie ~ hands down
and stallone is f*ing 64 = = that is beastly

[hotjoint]

I think everyone wanted more Terry Crews. Hell, fuck Stallone.

[fsy82]

the R5 dvd is out for this on torrents:)

[StylinRed]

sooo.... the bad guys name is Garza.. and "Fanatic Garza" "I want him dead!" I thought I may have been reading too much into this at this point but then the scene with Statham and Stallone on the island pops up and the Flag for this country is an upside down Palestinian Flag with the leaders face on it...


interesting, and im only 30mins in...

[winson604]

Oh yeah, you're right. I remember getting that before it hit theatres :D

Gotta love free movies!:D

[hotjoint]

Gotta love free movies!:D

gotta love free anything :thumbsup:

[winson604]

gotta love free anything :thumbsup:

Haha amen brotha

[6793026]

i thought it was a decent movie.

what I found funny:

Jet Li spoke better english than Stallone... i'm like wtfff, there were a few times I was like... i didn't realize I was watching Rocky.

Jason S did a pretty good job, very neutral and Terry Crews had a few cool scenes with this crazy ass gun.

Action was decent actually, all was good EXCEPT the last scene when austin was beating up Stallone. Somehow the cut scenes there were just crap.

I did enjoy M Rouke's role in it, I didn't like the part where he was just a tatoo artist but his monologue about the girl he could've saved was actually really good acting AND dialogue but the freaking director (stallone) just sucked ass on capturing that scene.

[q0192837465]

watched it yesterday. Apart from blowing shit up & body parts everywhere, the story just sucked.

[beanzzz]

Decent movie, was hoping for the same amount of blood and gore as Rambo or the same amount of profanity from a movie like Bad Boys though.

[TheStreetDream]

MOAR TERRY CREW PLZ

[Lomac]

For a Stallone flick, this was actually pretty good. Yes, the plot is very minimal at best and, yes, the acting could have been better... but let's face it -- this was an action movie through and through. It's not designed to win an Academy for acting or screen writing. It's a pure adrenaline flick that unites a bunch of action stars from the 80's and 90's and combines 'em with a couple newer action stars. I liked the fact that this movie had everyone from Schwartznegger to Li to Statham to Crew, partially because it saves me from having to see half a dozen other movies just to see 'em. :lol

I loved Rourke in this movie; he's always been one of my favourite actors and his performance here just blew everyone else away. I wish he had a bigger role in the action scenes, but I guess that's how his character was supposed to be -- the "wizened old retiree" that shows the characters the true path to follow.

Overall, I'd rate the movie a 7/10, purely based on the awesomeness of the actor lineup, the action, and the fact that there hasn't been much in the way of good action movies this summer.

[604nguyen]

terrible terrible movie
not even worthy of a download

[Hi_Im_Mike]

Yay blu-ray is out on piratebay :)

[k2_alpha]

I could not stop laughing when terry crew was blasting everying to hell with the shot gun.

the line with "christmas" was priceless
