Posts
it's okay i wouldn't expect you to know about something like that
Oh snap! :bz
that's
something?
get this money
expendables 2 for movie of the summer
before the title even comes up, it's everything you ever wanted
The way Chuck Norris was handled in this movie was perfect.
Even better? Van Damme's character is named either
and boy did they have fun with dolph
and jesus the whole third act made me twelve again
keeping in mind i loved the first one
Nice to know there are good things being said about it in here.
Steam
you will love this one more
this movie stops pretending to have a plot the second chuck norris shows up, then they just use flimsy excuses for the next absurd action sequence
the action is bigger, and there's more of it
the character bits are actually fun and just feel like tough guys bullshitting with each other as the cast has like twenny times more chemistry and jcvd is just insane and parodying himself
just having so much fun with each other
All I ever wanted was the first movie but more guns, explosions, and kung fu without any dumb story shit.
And the "I'm two days from retiring" callback was fantastic.
oh there's dumb story bullshit
but all of the plot points are taken from the big book of action movie cliches
to the point where the characters even notice it
and holy shit the self-referrential one-liners
and oh my god I cannot stress enough how amazing dolph is in this movie
and no, man and knife is not the best one-liner in the movie
The scene where Stallone, Arnold, and Willis shoot through the glass and walk down the hallway side by side was so fucking awesome to see. Willis and Arnold driving the tiny car and grabbing guns off the ground while shooting was phenomenal as well.
Dolph Lundgren definitely got a big boost in his screen time and it was so great. Somebody made fun of the "I'd die for some Chinese" line earlier, but since everybody in the scene treats it like an awful joke it works.
Killing Billy off at the beginning surprised me even though he said and did so many things that should have told me he was going to end up dead.
That list for lady action stars is pretty awful. It does list a lot of the people who should be in there, but so many who shouldn't.
Eliza Dushku always made the action look better in Buffy than Sarah Michelle Gellar did and she isn't really an action movie type person. I wouldn't want Carrie Fisher or Uma Thurman in that either.
Linda Hamilton as Stallone
Sigourney Weaver as Willis
Lucy Lawless as Arnold
Milla Jovovich as Statham
Michelle Rodriguez as Crews
Gina Carano as Couture
Summer Glau as Jet Li
Lucy Liu as Lundgren
I'm sorry TLB I don't know who Cynthia Rothrock is either.

Maybe add Yvonne Strahovski as well.

IMDB says no, but she is a Bond girl and that's cool.

Oh yeah it was Silver Hawk.
I don't know if 20 years counts as several
As for silver hawk 8 years is a while ago, and it's not a super hero I know of, so it doesn't count.
