Anyone see the Inferno documentary yet? how is it?

I could see how this would disappoint. The expectations around here were through the roof for the most part, and I knew this wouldn't be all everyone claimed. I like the movie in kind of a guilty pleasure way.

I had a blast with this flick. To me, this was stallone's grindhouse flick - it was all over the place, violent, & just plain over the top.

I think people were expecting less comedy and more of a serious action type flick but whatever.....I dug it.

I agree. The humor seemed more tongue in cheek than typical of the action flicks of the 80s.

Saw this last night and enjoyed it. Good for what it was.

Pretty fucking solid. I like it a lot...AND it's in HD too. That's the ONE thing that pissed me off about Rambo Extended Cut w/ it's making of doc. It was in SD for that film's doc. Let me just quote The O on it from his BD review...

For those of us around during the 80's action days, it's too bad he couldn't get more of those people involved. I know he approached VanDamme but he bagged. But did he try Norris? There were at least a half dozen straight to video action stars that can't be too terribly busy these days. Don "The Dragon" Wilson among others would have made for serious nostalgia and would be the right age to be hanging in there with Stallone and the other oldies.

He did ask Norris. Norris said no.

If anything...I wanted an action scene w/ Arnold, Sly, and Willis involved. I didn't get that. I hope to fucking get that in the sequel. And from Sly has mentioned...Willis could be the villain for the next one. Let's hope that a pumped up Arnold is in, bigger shootouts and fights, much better editing, less visually dark scenes, and if Arnold is in...get The Rock on his team. On that team w/ Arnold? Arnold, The Rock, and Kurt Russell. Get 2 other guys and I'm good. But I want Russell in there. I'd LOVE to see Donnie Yen too but...seems he's doing VERY good w/ his HK work atm.

I believe Chuck Norris is semi-retired now. I e-mailed his official web site last year to ask if he was done acting and his rep replied back that he's only focused right now on promoting his World Combat League (martial arts league) It doesn't surprise me that he passed on working plus he just turned 70 in March.

Edit: Apparently Chuck Norris is the Czech T-Mobile spokesperson

The beard hides his age...

Honestly...I like Chuck Norris as a personality more than I do for his films. I liked him in Walker, Texas Ranger as a kid...that show ain't so good now. LOVE Silent Rage though...Dad liked him a lot so I like him a lot too..but......in very few films.

Again...I'd like to see the Dillon and Dutch handshake. Seeing that thing would make me cry out of awesome.

Yeah but given Stallone had a bad experience getting Carl Wethers to appear in Rocky Balboa, I wouldn't hold my breath for him to appear in The Expendables 2.

I still watch Walker from time to time. And Chuck Norris sure as hell doesn't look 70. I'd love to at least see him in a Mickey Rourke type role (but with the added bonus of at least one action sequence).

I know Chuck was having his stunt double most of the big fight scenes in Walker for several years. But I think he could have made it through a couple scenes without having a heart attack.

Unfortunately I can't remember the names but there was a chick who did some stunt work and released a couple DTV flicks that were pretty cool, tons o' karate, little dialogue just to get drom one fight to another. There was another guy who was a good fighter, trained under Ed Parker had a couple good movies

Uhm...how could Carl Weathers appear in Rocky Balboa? Apollo was dead last I checked.

Stallone said numerous times he wanted to use more old footage for highlights and such. Weathers declined, so he only used that little segment on Sportscenter with Drago and Mr. T only.

.
Didn't Stallone call him Apollo Greed after that?

a chick. Chick
Did some stunt work. Check
couple of DTV flicks. Check
Answer= I've no idea who the fuck you're talking about. Is she Asian, American or what?

I'd love to see some more foreign action stars in the sequel for sure. Grab Cyril Raffaelli (France) and put him on Arnold's team.

See look what you're making me do. You're making get all giddy for a film that doesn't even exist yet. YET.

Hell....I'd like for some female action stars to join in too but...you know...so few of them are still game from that era. Michelle Yeoh for sure could kick ass w/ the rest of them. I'd love to see Yukari Oshima IF they went w/ some gals. Last I heard she does some tourism stuff in Fukuoka, Japan.

Yup. But Wethers didn't decline per sé. He insisted his character should be a major player in Rocky Balboa despite the fact that Apollo was six feet under. Then he demanded a higher than usual sum for his likeness fee when Stallone insisted that he only wanted to use archive footage of him from the previous films.

Yes indeed.

I'd love it if Cyril Raffaelli and Jet Li had a big screen rematch. Ditto for Cyril Raffaelli and Jason Statham. Especially since his scenes in Kiss of the Dragon were awesome (but all too brief) and his fight against Statham in The Transporter was cut down to almost not existing at all (you only see him perform a handful of moves). The latter was downright criminal. In fact, Cyril Raffaelli owes Bruce Willis some payback after he got crushed/shredded/whatever to death in Live Free Or Die Hard. So having him on Arnold's team would make the most sense to have all three of those encounters happen.

And the nerd rant/hype begins anew...

Really? I don't even remember him in The Transporter. What scene was it? Totally forgot about his fight w/ Li. Yeah...that was cool. More foreign action badasses please.

He's the first guy Statham fights in the bus fight:

In the deleted scenes of the DVD, the fight was quite a bit longer and showed how well Cyril Rafaelli can fight in such a tiny space.

Oh ok..cool. Oddly enough..I thought that film was boring and generic. Statham in just his scenes made it an ok experience. Were 2 & 3 any better?

Saw it again on BR tonight. Definately a fun movie. Will look to pick this up for myself at some point.

The DC better have good features too...

Carl Weathers was too busy fixin' a stew to come to agreement with Stallone for use of archival footage.

Just finished watching this. By far the worst shaky-cam I have seen in a movie yet. It ruined the action scenes for the most part. The last 20 minutes were just a blur. I couldn't tell who was fighting and WTF they were doing. Thumbs down on this piece of shit.

It is indeed a hunk of crud. A true piece of crap. Hopefully Stallone will fade away. Enough already with this weezing geezer and his bad action movies.

more than 50% of the posters in this thread would beg to differ.
