The Expendables: trailer

[Phenomanul]

will u watch it if theres a female version?

Depends on the cast....

Who have been the best female action stars over the past few years?

Milla Jovovich
Angelina Jolie
Uma Thurman
Cameron Diaz
Lucy Liu
Jada Pinkett-Smith

[Drachen]

so they took all the action stars in the pass and put them in a movie..

so where does rourke and the big black guy from white chicks fit into this movie? were they ever action stars?

i wonder if this is better then lethal weapon 4?

Terry Crewes = big black guy. This role was offered to and accepted by Wesley Snipes, however due to his tax problems he was unable to film. Stallone released the rumor that he was going to cast Ice Cube, and received swift and strong backlash from those of us following this. He decided to go with Terry Crewes.

Mickey Rourke - not an action hero per se, but Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man has an enormous cult following as a "Man" movie.

For those wondering why he was missing, Jean Claude VD turned the movie down. Yeah, because he is so busy. (edit: this was already covered in this thread, sorry. If true, that Dolph replaced JCVD, then good, I would have chosen Dolph first anyway)

If my penis and balls caved in and became a vagina then sure. Why do you ask?

Why wouldn't you want Ice Cube? He's been in more action movies than Terry Crews and is far more well known.

Yeah XxX 2 was the , right?

[Muser]

yeah, can't wait for this

I just couldn't imagine Ice Cube's doughy self rolling around trying to keep up without getting winded.

Now is when I should post all the ty horrific action movies that this entire cast has had plenty of throughout their careers..but I'm too lazy

[Drachen]

Or, to save time, you could list all of the great action movies that ice cube was in.

Win.

Seriously, I'd rather watch Terry Crews do anything over Ice Cube nowadays.

Now, I love John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars just as much as the next gal, but...

When your choice is between Ice Cube and President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, you go with President Camacho eleven times out of ten.

I saw it 12:01am and it was pretty good. It's not going to win best picture but the movie served its purpose. It is a good action movie. It's probably one of the best action movies in the last 10 years. Ice Cube isn't even Ice Cube anymore. Ice Cube is like Will Smith now. Terry Crews>Ice Cube.

Terry Crews- Gamer, a million goofy comedies

Ice Cube- Boyz in the Hood (not an action movie but a gangster role), Three Kings, Ghosts of Mars, Torque and XXX 2 (again, if you wanna rip on those last 2 we can go 4tat with every other actor in this)

[CubanSucks]

I like Terry Crews and I LOVED him in Idiocracy. All I was saying is there's no reason to think Ice Cube wouldn't have fit right in.

[CubanSucks]

And as far as the movie goes, I was pretty disappointed. Replace Stallone with Rourke or Willis and I honestly think it would have been 5X better. Not enough Ahnold, Rourke, and Willis. Did anyone else laugh at Stallone when he was running? The action parts were very badass but the cheesy one liners got really out of hand. Again, I really think if the lead part went to Rourke or Willis it would have completely solved that problem

[Whisky Dog]

The movie was what it was supposed to be and I love it. The last action sequence alone was worth my $7, and I really enjoyed all the use of throwing knives. To best enjoy the movie I left the vagina at home and enjoyed not hearing her about the acting. This isn't about acting, it's about destruction.

[fraga]

Too bad no Wesley Snipes...damn tax man...

[DarkReign]

What the ? How the do you grow calluses on the tips?

Do block work, electrician or a carpenter for 10+ years every day of your life and youll have callussed tips of your toes.

That closing scene when Natasha Henstridge is waking up in the infermary wearing those tight grey panties and is in a daze......jesus what a foxx

It gave the movie a pretty sweet payoff.

[CuckingFunt]

My only complaint about this one is that it wasn't quite mindless enough.

I enjoyed it, and all the 'splosions and death, but... If they were really going for the feel of the action movies of a couple decades ago, there was WAY too much plot.

Expendables #1 at the box office. Estimated 35 mil opening weekend, over 13 mil on Friday. Already talks of a sequel with more stars and this time possibly with Van Damme.

All I have to say is...I want a fully automatic shotgun for Christmas.

I agree with CF that there was potentially a little bit too much plot, but that can be overlooked pretty easily when the overall carnage is considered. Great movie with a great throwback feel.
