I’m excited about Quentin Tarantino’s star-studded [Til Schweiger in the house!] romp in the battlefields but I have to admit that I’m nearly as interested to see how Sylvester Stallone’s new directorial effort comes out, especially in the wake of the massive squib fest that is Rambo.
The Expendables. Written, directed by, and starring Sly. Co-Starring Jason Statham and Jet Li. A story about a team of mercenaries overthrowing a South American dictator.
Are you kidding me? Sign my ass up!
Back when I was involved in the development for a feature based on Jagged Alliance, a video game adaptation about a team of mercenaries who overthrow a South American dictator we’d talked about how Stallone was perfect for it, even going as far as to suggest Millenium Films as partners. Odd coincidences, but the end result is a film that’ll most likely mix the old fashioned team-based combat film genre with Stallone’s own personalized mayhem techniques and where Tarantino will probably deliver a bloated and lengthy epic you can count on Stallone being in and out in an hour and twenty-six.
Stallone. Statham. Li. With guns. Blowing shit up.
Expendable this ain’t.

Sign me up for this! – Statham kicking people in the face alongside Li and Sly. Awesome.
Can't. Fucking. Wait. If Stallone can give us a mix of Predator, Rambo and Commando I'll be seeing that movie, getting back in line, seeing the movie again and repeating opening weekend.
is the Jagged Alliance production still going forward?
Am I still asleep? Am I going to wake up in a puddle of happy sauce? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS THE AWESOMEST AWESOME THAT EVER AWESOMED!!!!!111
OVER THE TOP!!!!
So this is currently going into post production right??? we don't have to wait like two years for this…please tell me it's on film already my rambo DVD is wearing out.
Your "Own Private Inglourious Basterds"? Do I sense some man-love there, Idaho-style?
Dear god, this is fantastic!!
This movie isn't even made yet and I've aleady bought my ticket.
I thought Li was retiring (again). I knew it was too much to hope for.
This movie will make me a man. no, fuxx that. It'll make a woman a man, it'll be so manly.
Bring in Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames and there would be so much testosterone on the screen that if you walked into the film clean shaven you would walk out looking like Grizzly Adams!
We need to get Schwarzenegger and Willis cameos in there at least. They play commanders or executed soldiers or something. This sounds more like the cast Tarantino wanted years ago.
Damn. I was hoping Stallone signed Keanu Reeves, too. This will Rock like Sgt.!
I'm watching it.
I guarantee this movie is going to SHIT on Tarantino's war flick. THIS sounds like a MANLY movie, none of this Eli Roth stunt casting bullshit.
This will be the greatest movie known to man.
Jet Li is cool. this movies sounds almost too awesome to be true. almost.
only if they Have Jet Li to face off against Tony Jaa. REAL FIGHT with SLY!
Forget about it. I waiting for Tango & Cash 2. Rambo…was a pussy.
decidedly awesome. but tony jaa in there? oh DAAMN. caving gaucho skulls via flying knee? that is my shit right there.
