Re: The Last Stand (Kim-Ji-Woon) Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie return
No one else feels that the combination of the cast (excluding Arnold), title and even that poster makes this thing feel like some B movie straight to DVD release? Is this even really going to get released nation wide in theaters? Not trying to be picky AT all, matter of fact I'm realllly looking forward to Expendables 2.

Arnold should have teamed up with Mel Gibson for a disgraced stars buddy action movie. Maybe they could have found supporting parts for Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan & Michael Richards too.

I'm sure it'll be terrible and fun and everything a new Arnold film is expected to be.

Deep down...I love the look of it. I just hope it's actually a good movie just cuz of the director involved. I'm anxious to see Arnold back in a positive light w/ a leading role type of film. I hope this is it.

Knoxville will make damn sure this isn't a "good" movie.
I'm expecting another pedestrian entry from Arnold - typical and toothless, but full of his signature charm that assures my money in the first place.

I don't know, but I think Woon is a way better director than John Woo and I loved Hard Target, so.........we'll see.

Kim-Ji-Woon is amazing, he's the best source of hope for this project. The Good the Bad and the Weird is one of the most entertaining films I've ever seen, and I Saw the Devil is an extremely compelling and intense movie. I'm sure he'll give us something better than average.

I'm also hoping to scope out Kim-Ji-Woon's latest flick called "Doomsday Book" before Last Stand, as well.

There's a trailer with crappy English subtitles, but they're translated horribly, so here's a legit trailer without them. Just let the images take you.

This looks like a Jee-woon Kim film, a little more Good/Bad/Weird than Bittersweet Life but it's off to a good start 
I just hope he kept his signature brutal violence. That said, the content looks a little more generic than what he's used to, considering his movies for the last decade have been 1) Comedy where a family buys an inn and their guests keep dying, 2) A psychological horror movie (poorly remade for the US as the Uninvited), 3) an ultra violent cerebral action movie, 4) a quirky uh Kimchi Western, and 5) a torture porn action movie

I do like too that the Last Stand trailer also mentions "From Kim-Ji-Woon" meaning his name alone must carry some kind of weight

Good call. Knoxville even managed to bring down the trailer.

But, almost all of the standard 80's action flicks had an annoying comic relief character...so, if you look at this film as a slick looking version of that...it might work. I agree it won't be "good" in really any aspect - other than entertaining with a six-pack. And when you break the shots down, there doesn't appear to be much Arnold action in this... which was my concern from the start. If they had some more money shots, they would've shown them. But, the movie does "look" good and will (hopefully) be edited well - this separates it from Stallone's Bullet to the Head...which has zero style to it all.
