Comradebot Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 If you're looking for an original story, witty dialogue, and award winning acting... You will not find it here. If, however, you desire examples of raw, Bam Bam Johansson levels of ALPHA manliness, one liners, and over the top action, then this is the film for you. It's a bad film, but for all the right reasons. The more I look back on it, the more I realized I loved it. The most delightfully over the top and cheesy action film since 1990. Again, if you're looking for something thought provoking... then don't go see it. If you want to see a what happens when Steve Austin and Randy Couture come face to face with nothing but their fists while surrounded by a ring of fire and explosions, then yes, this is for you. ~THE BAM BAM JOHANSSON STAMP OF APPROVAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdgoldeneye Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 If you're looking for an original story, witty dialogue, and award winning acting... There's plenty of the second (most of these guys are KNOWN for their one-liners) and I wouldn't even say the story or acting were notably bad (Randy Couture probably shouldn't do Shakespeare any time soon, though).

I think there's a difference between, say... Pulp Fiction "this is what Amsterdam is like" dialogue and good ol' one liners. But yes, the one liners are AWESOME in this movie. Even a couple that sounded like they'd be classics in CSI: Miami. Agree with the thoughts on Couture. While some of the actions scene involving him were the finest of the film, he's not a particularly great actor. Still, his ability to whoop ass more than makes up for it in a film like this.

djthefunkchris Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I would love to see Charlie Sheen in The Expendables 2. I'd rather see him in a movie making fun of the original.... with alot of other younger guys doing likewise (but acting like they are really old... Ouch my back!).

The Stallion Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Sheen should stay far away from this, unless he plays the little guy that gets pushed around alot and has to be saved by one of the other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellshock70 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 I would love to see Charlie Sheen in The Expendables 2. Sources said that Stallone had been talking with Jean-Claude Van Damme, Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Carl Weathers, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Charlie Sheen, Chuck Norris, Lorenzo Lamas, Jeff Speakman, and Olivier Gruner about the sequel, which he intends to be "a love letter to martial arts." Stallone reportedly wants Sheen to play a CIA agent chasing Willis' crime lord character, while Norris' role will be a cameo like Schwarzenegger's in the first film. On January 15, 2011, it was reported that Van Damme agreed to appear under the condition that Steven Seagal is not involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
