The Expendables. Coming Summer 2010.

[UN Spacy]

Can this list of action stars get any better?

The list keeps growing folks.

Sylvester Stallone - Barney Ross

Jason Statham - Lee Christmas

Jet Li - Yin Yang

Terry Crews - Hale Caesar

Randy Couture - Toll Road

Dolph Lundgren - Gunnar Jensen

Mickey Rourke - Tool

Eric Roberts - James Monroe

Steve Austin - Paine

Bruce Willis - Mr. Church

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Trench

I think we're just missing Chuck Norris. Apparently JCVD was offered a part but he rejected it.

Wow...so many awesome action actors all in one movie.

[Tober]

Pretty good trailer for a date movie.

[RDClip]

looks like a nice little action movie.

So Austin is one of the bad guys i guess. I heard that the fight between stone cold and Stallone is really intense. (both guys banged each other up filming it)

[EXO]

seems like most of those guys are cameos...

I wanna see the list of bad guys to look like this

Alan Rickman

Alexander Gudonov (I know, he's dead)

Michael Wincott (bad guy from the crow)

Fat Freddie Mercury from Commando

The Kurgen

Curtwood Smith (Clarence Bodicker)

Billy Drago

William Sadler

and the of course the meanest jerk of all....

Christopher McDonald

You forgot Gary Olman and Rutger Hauer

[Black Valkyrie]

My men are not expendable, Dutch.

[Vepariga]

Seeing arnie in the trailer just made it that more awesome. probably the manliest movie ever made.

[Agent ONE]

This will obviously be the best movie of all time.

[reddsun1]

Can't view the trailer from here at work...

but that list of character names makes it sound like this will be what SHOULD have been the GI Joe movie.

LOL, Hale Ceasar

[reddsun1]

Hey, wait a minute--where's Brian Bosworth? And Roddie Piper?

[Ghost Train]

Lol, this is either going to be the worst or best movie ever. The only villain capable of matching that lineup would have to be played by Christopher Walken.

[EXO]

If Christopher Walken was the villain, this would be instant win for me...

[lechuck]

Woah, such a line-up and they didn't include the "Muscles from Brussels" in this?

[Ghost Train]

Woah, such a line-up and they didn't include the "Muscles from Brussels" in this?

I read somewhere that he was offered a role but passed on it - as he is a serious actor who is into making real movies now.

Ten more days till this manly movie is out.

Not only that, but no Segal or Norris either? Ah well, I still think this'll be fun...

[Omegablue]

This movie is made for desperate housewives... Manganism!

[Agent ONE]

This movie is made for desperate housewives... Manganism!

Do I look like a housewife to you?

[taksraven]

The reviews are starting to come in, and surprise surprise, the first one is

bad.

Taksraven

[myk]

Lol, I wouldn't expect this movie to be anything BUT bad. After all, this movie is a celebration of 80's action/cheese and the people that became famous in these types of movies. Again, my only gripe is the lack of JCVD, Segal and Norris...

[Ivan]

This will obviously be the best movie of all time.

Not until Agent One is also you in it...

I suppose it wouldn't be fair to have Chuck Norris in it. As we all know, the sheer brilliance of his aura would simply overpower all the bad guys and render everyone else's role on the team impotent. http://4q.cc/index.php?pid=top100&person=chuck

[Agent ONE]

Not until Agent One is also you in it...

Dude.. What?

[Warmaker]

If this movie is half as decent as I hope it to be, the world will explode. Better yet, what will the BODY COUNT will be at the end!

[badboy00z]

Dude.. What?

I think what he's trying to say is if you were in the movie it would be the best movie of all time.

[Fortress_Maximus]

Truly do not care what any reviews claim. Expendables will be a great old school action heroes flick! The cast is solid as-is, it does not need JVCD (he is a serious "actor" see his next project MacBeth), Wesley Snipes (tax problems, fool of course you are going to get caught), and Seagal (issues with the producer Avi Lerner, get over it).

For those of us who miss the real action flicks without wire-fu staring real action heroes... cannot imagine this getting any better. Extremely sick of muscle suit action heroes, wire "boring as hell" fu, and emo vampire/werewolves. My ten cents, enjoy Expendables for all it is worth ... this might very well be one of the last real action films you will see in a looong time, minus Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa's films.

[eugimon]

lol, you sh!t all over "wire fu" then you praise donnie yen and tony jaa? ha.

[Agent ONE]

OH.. Wow, thats a mighty big compliment. Thank you. I dunno, there are some superstars in there.

[Fortress_Maximus]

lol, you sh!t all over "wire fu" then you praise donnie yen and tony jaa? ha.

Ok so tell us, would you seriously put Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa's action films in the same level of "Peter Pan" wire fu action that has become so commonplace in Hollywood films? If anything Donnie and Tony are among the few actual martial artists who barely use wire work. The fact is Donnie and Tony both do not like using wire work precisely b/c it has been extremely overly abused and detracts from an actors fluid body movements. Case in point, in Ong Bok Tony displayed incredible raw intensity and the action sequences were unbelievably fluid and looked so damn good. Honestly I doubt there is any film that came out of Hollywood that comes close. Of course the great fight choreography certainly helped but I absolutely feel the lack of super humans flying around in the air helped a lot to raise the level of fight realism.

Quite looking forward to seeing this after watching the trailer.

I just hope there is not too much fake-ass CG and wire-fu. Just straight up 80s' style action suits me fine.

Together with A-Team, Predators and Machete, 2010 looks like being the year of the 80s' style action movie!

You obviously haven't seen ong bak 2 then or you're really picking and choosing which films to watch. Tony just hasn't done enough movies to say what he will or won't do, but if ong bak 2 is any indication of where he wants to go I'm more than happy to stick to Nolan and the dark knight.

This movie looks fun, I think stall ones rant about the direction action movies have taken is more about how he's getting old and irrelevant rather than a serious or meaningful critique on action films. Personally I see nothing wrong with action stars that don't look like they spend all day lifting weights and shooting up steroids.
