None, and hopefully it stays that way. Her character existed solely to give us the scene of Statham beating up a douchebag.

Yet it was the best shot and best edited of all the action sequences.

Re: The Expendables 2 (2012?)

I guess I'll be the lone dissenting voice. I'm not buying it. These guys look tired and old. They no longer pass muster at being a badass. They just look silly. I know it's fun to see all the action movie stars of the 80s in one film. It would have been more fun 15 years ago. Now they just look like old men trying to stay relevant in a young man's industry(or young woman's).

I never saw the first. So I'm only judging buy the teaser. Since I know my opinion won't be popular, I'll quietly exit.

The new director's cut has the Yuen/Lundgren/Li fight reedited, and while it's not as good as it should be, it's at least coherent now. I wonder who did the basketball scenes, Jon Calera or Chad Stahelski maybe?

Re: The Expendables 2 (2012?)

Ya know, in all honesty for the people who keep saying they look too old and look like jokes - I don't think they do - Norris, Willis, Couture, and Stallone have the look of rugged somewhat old men that could kick your ass -> these guys aren't 80 for gods sake.

Arnold is the only one that prob should have done some more prep work - the guy after getting off the juice just looks like shit. You have to remember that steroids are 100% false muscle (meaning NONE of your gains are retained once off of them). Shit at least Sly somewhat admits in the "I got caught" kinda way that he is still using GH - yeah he looks like one of those stress dolls as a result but who cares.

For movies? No! For badass action roles, they look way too old and tired in my opinion. Stallone looks like an old man overdosed on roids, and he's already been caught with HGH(technically not a steroid, but does the same thing) Arnold just looks old. Norris and Van Damme look very old. Willis looks younger than the rest, but does he even play a badass.

That's perfectly fine with me. That would actually be more screen time than I expected. I'm still guessing about 10 minutes or so of screen time for Arnold, but since he's getting involved with the action I'm good with that.

It's not like this movie is missing out on guys who can handle the action scenes. Besides, Arnold hasn't filmed a legit action scene in almost a decade. The guy's got a lot of action rust on him, and this is the perfect way to shake that off.

I liked the first Expendables movie a lot, and I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

So the tats he had were real. Interesting...not sure what would posses someone to do that after he had been tat free as far as I knew. Midlife crisis type of this? Just seems unusual to me. Maybe he thought it made him tougher looking in this new era; IMHO they actually cover up muscle definition and he would have been better showing off without them.

Wait. That's not from a dress rehearsal pic for this flick? I always assumed the moustache was fake and that's why it didn't seem odd to see him without it.

Re: The Expendables 2 (2012?)

I read somewhere that Stallone's wife talked him into getting the tattoos. I think they look horrible.

I'm not into tattoos at all so I don't get the fascination. However, if they make him happy, who am I to say otherwise?

Re: The Expendables 2 (2012?)

Stallone getting tattoos isn't a "mid-life" crisis, it's an "I could die any day now, statistically" crisis.

If I had a body like the Rock, I wouldn't conceal it with tattoos.

I think the tats add bad ass character to Stallone.

However I think the tat on the rock is unattractive. I'm sure others find it cool, but I don't.
