This looks like one of the trailers you see at the beginning of Tropic Thunder. I guess it has the potential to be good in the way Dolemite is (so bad that it's) good. The line about Stallone liking to play in the jungle is too much.

even w/o seeing it I will stereotype people who think this movie will be bad, and Im confident I am right:

1. you werent born between 72 and 92
2. you have a vagina
3. you are not America
4. you are a commie/socialist
5. you are a douche bag
6. you should be on treatment for low testosterone
7 you need an ED med

How they didn't cast Seagal as well is beyond me. He may be a fat-ass faux 'deputy' in Hicksville these days but you still have to add him to the roster if you're going for 80s action-flick mawk

That looks terrible. So ill have a couple bottles of wine whilst watching it sometime, that always seems to make these type of films go better.

Why Steven Seagal Turned Down ‘The Expendables’
9.06.09 # 8:28 # News # 4 Comments Imagine a movie made 15 years ago with Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger – pretty damn cool. Now imagine it made today when they’re all wrinkly, dried up prunes – more of a curiosity sideshow. Well it didn’t happen then but it sure as heck is happening now in Stallone’s upcoming action extravaganza The Expendables. Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger are just cameos, but other significant members of this dream team include Jason Statham, Jet Li and Mickey Rourke.

Inevitably though, with this union of the most testosterone-fuelled meatheads ever to hit the big screen, a few big names have been ruled out. Jean Claude Van-Damme has apparently refused to join the party because he won’t get the screen time he deserves, Wesley Snipes is not available as he is still serving time for failing to file tax returns and perhaps most notably of all, Steven Seagal will not be appearing either. That means no standing still during a fight chopping his arms with a constipated look on his face.

Now it emerges that Seagal’s absence is down to a beef between him and the film’s producer Avi Lerner. The pair fell out over some straight to dvd movies he made recently and Seagal doesn’t want to do anything that would put money in the producer’s pocket. What a shame. Who’s going to bring environmental concerns to the story? Who’s going to wear an all-black combo with leather jacket in the heat of the South American jungle? …Nobody it seems

Would have been pretty cool to see Seagal an Van Damme

Words aren't enough to describe how awesome this is. Jerking off by my self in the back of the theater barely expresses my excitement.

hard to believe JCVD would have the brass neck to demand 'more screen time' given the generally horrible state of his career, and equally surprising Seagal would turn down the chance to waddle tiredly into yet another fire-fight for the publicity boost this would've given him

I mean look at the size of Seagal, he is the John Candy of action movies, it is going to take a miracle to revive his career.

Stop bashing Van Damme, he made a great movie called "JCVD" recently.

By the end of his confession he could be like Robert Downey, Jr., playing Jean-Claude Van Damme. Except that there's less bravado, more real pain, because the Muscles from Brussels looks as he's giving one hell of an emotional battering to himself.

This movie could top predator by sheer body mass alone.

It also stars the most underrated actor of all time, Dolph Lundgren.

This movie looks badass just because it's sure to have good action in it with the the mix of old and new school action actors. They should have gotten Chuck Norris and it would have been complete.

I for one and going to go see this movie. Movies like this you don't watch for the Script/story. Thats like watching Transformers for the script.
