If you were born from 1960 to 1986, you have watched and loved and REWATCHED countless 80's era action flicks (including, but not limited to: Rambo, Commando, American ninja, the last dragon, double impact, and die hard). Well, if you fit in this demographic, the mother of all "so bad they are GREAT 80's flicks" should be in theatres in 2010! The expendables is the brainchild of über washed up action star, 63 year old Sly Stallone, who amazingly puts together an all star cast of tough old guys guaranteed to get a few knees scoped and throw out a couple of backs when everything is said and done. The cast includes: Sly himself, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Terry Crews, Jason Statham, MMA and wrestling stars the Nogueria twins and stone cold Steve Austin, and EVEN the GOVERNATOR HIMSELF, Arnold Schwarzenegger!! Doesn't that sound sick?! Only Van Damme and Steven Segal are missing! But then I remember, its 2010, and the principle stars are all over 50, so this could be great and nostalgic, or the worst piece of regurgitated 80's crap ever conceived, and could finally send Sly into the nursing home for good. Either way, I'm kinda excited!
In an interview with FHM, Sly describes how hardcore the fight scenes were, and how Stone Cold actually broke his neck and he needed major surgery. WHOA! On a sad (but unimportant) note, the late Brittany Murphy was also cast in this film. So get your big hair, steroids, fake blood, white jeans, and implausible plots ready folks! The Expendables is scheduled for release August 10, 2010. Check the trailer out below:
(As my favorite writer Bill Simmons would say, this trailer DESTROYS the unintentional comedy scale)
