The Expendables 2 *spoilers from post 263*

FlashD

That's a cool poster in a real macho way.

Bet there was loads of wraggling between agents about the positioning and size of the heads as well as the egos.

Who's at the back, whos' at the front, who's next to Stallone, his head is bigger than my head, Brillant! :pac:

I thought the Expendables movies would be Dolph's way back in to the big time.
I guess not...

In the mans own words "It was an experience, it wasn't exactly my taste, but I did it for other reasons. I was getting divorced at the time and I needed some cash quickly to pay for a few things... lawyers."

Harsh. Apparently Sean Bean was in a similar boat not too long ago.

At this stage, I'd imagine the arguments were more about who gets to be furthest away from Bruce Willis...

Galvasean

Maybe it's from right to left based on how washed up they are?

senordingdong

I thought it was like new gang on the left and the old school crowd on the left.

FlashD

The new gang are about a head higher than the old gang :pac:

Grab yere walkin sticks there lads.

I remember listening to Michael Cane in the actors studio interview and he was asked why he made so many terrible b movies in the 70s and his answer was that he wanted to buy a new house for his mum!

Wasn't one of his famous interview quotes something like "I don't remember Jaws 4, but I remember the house in the Bahamas it bought me". George Clooney is the same, saying that he has to make movies that make money in order to finance the films he wants to make.

John Cusack said something similar about doing shit Hollywood movies to allow him to be able to do the indy ones.

And then you have Brendan Fraser who is the complete opposite, he said that he only makes intelligent, adult dramas inbetween the big budget blockbusters that he likes making.

"The Quiet American"

To be fair, most actors operate with that policy: they fund their passion projects with the money they earn from the trashy blockbusters & b-movies. Seems standard fare to me

WHIP IT!

Now that's a thrasy action movie poster worthy of the 80's / 90's

^^^^Awesome.
The Dark Knight Rises can suck it!

sham69

a magnificent cast no matter what way you look at it.
I really enjoyed the first one, great fun...

Chuck Norris is in it, what more could anybody ask for..
Love the poster

Hande hoche!

Great looking poster. Can't wait.

Aul Chucky boy nearly derailed it with this PG 13 crap.


Also he got his arse soundly beaten by Bruce Lee.
Invincible? I think not.
Expendable? Very much so (to the cast list anyway)

As well as that, he recently campaigned for creationism to be taught in schools in the states. Crazy, overrated, pussy-ass, bible-basher.

He is only famous today because of those jokes. His super crazy christian gig is the cherry on top of his irrelevance

Agreed. And the only reason the jokes about him being awesome were ever funny was because everyone used to know how completely lame he is (see: Walker, Texas Ranger).

Dolph Lundgren had turned down Uwe Boll's offer once, before he eventually agreed on the advice of associate producer 'Bob van Ronkel' who had introduced them during a festival in Kazakhstan. Lundgren said in an interview to Empire magazine: "It was an experience, it wasn't exactly my taste, but I did it for other reasons. I was getting divorced at the time and I needed some cash quickly to pay for a few things... lawyers."


Just saw the next response, oh well, hopefully this will be shown at movie fest

Hang on there, he wiped out a whole vietnamese concentration camp and saved the american POW's (missing in action)

Saved America from total Annihilation (Invasion U.S.A) and also took out kill bill in lone wolf mcquade...

A bit of respect please...:D

Holy ****-balls

pixelburp

Chuck Norris could kick my ass half-way to Mars, but he'd still be a z-list actor who's only in this movie due to his career becoming an ironic internet meme / joke. In fact 5 euro says the Expendables 2 will have no trouble cheekily nodding in that direction.

I really wish people would remember that those jokes about him were intentionally ironic because of how lame he is.

Never really liked him, I don't think he took off outside of the states.
I always saw him as a bit of a Steven Seagal....a total joke but who could still kick your head in.
+1 on the looney ****.

Duggy747

His movies are awful and are only mildly fun to watch.

norrie rugger

I honestly would have been happier if they told him to sling it, after the PG13 fiasco

According to there, it's Rated R, baby.

So first all the violence and sweating was cut out to accommodate Norris, and now, it's back?

This test screening audience lark is a load of bollocks.
Apparently Se7en was test screened and the audience hated the ending, but Fichner used it regardless.

The ending to Se7en was changed because of negative test screening. Fincher wanted to it to end with a cut to black, but he was forced to tack on the epilogue with Morgan Freeman voice-over instead. On the commentary him, Pitt and Freeman all talk about how much they hate it.

Anyway, I don't buy for a second that they shot this with anything but PG-13 in mind. They are obviously just going to CGI in extra blood and loop in a few f-bombs to make it R.

CGI blood makes baby Jesus cry

Yes, but that was just a compromise, the studio, producers and test screen audience hated the head in a box ending and only because Fincher and Pitt fought for it, it would have been changed.

Have to admit, I quite liked the epilogue.

Also, I like CGI blood. We all know that what we are watching isn't real and if it allows films to keep their violence and gore, then it's a compromise I'll accept.

Duggy747

CGI blood is awful and most times it looks like it never reacts properly to it surroundings, instead looking like a quick spray from a can of lynx.

Squibs give it that extra meaty punch.

I'm only hearing now that Stallone's son Sage was found dead last Friday, shocking stuff. Apparent accidental overdose.
