Bullet is cheesy fun and it's great to have Walter Hill back in the director's chair.


Expendables 3 is being directed by Patrick Hughes, who directed Red Hill.

Didn't Solid Snake PAC once post the trailer to Red Hill? Looked interesting. Was it any good?

We did get good Arnold movies in the 90s. Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Total Recall. It was the rest of the 90s that proved problematic . The Last Stand feels weirdly like it walked right out of that era, it plays almost oddly sincerely. Whether Kim was aiming for something somehow satirical or not, I never figured out, but it has no post-modern smirking, it's just good, old-fashioned fun.

It was severely flawed, and the stories about arguments over who was really in charge on set clearly show in the finished product (Not the least of which was Sly's utter lack of chemistry with Sung Kang), but having Hill back is damn fun, and he brings his usual chops. And Momoa is an awesome villain.

Well, I've never heard of him, but Red Hill seems to have gotten good reviews.

I guess this thread now calls for this...

I figured that was the intent of the post with which I was agreeing.

And, yeah, I love that it plaid it "straight," so to speak.

Does nobody remember True Lies? That was the last time Arnold was amazing. Him and JC, a dream team for the genre.

Yeah, that's true, and that was about halfway through the 90s. One of his best. I'm still waiting for the anamorphic versions of it and The Abyss Mr. Cameron. Still waiting.

True Lies was his last GREAT action romp. Eraser was pretty cool, too. True Lies was obviously better, but Eraser had some good shit, as well.

I thought Stallone and Sung had great chemistry. They kept making racist jokes to one another. It was fun.

Red Hill is very awesome. Pseudo-noir-western:

A rare case of an American remake being better than the (foreign) original.

Fuck. Never even knew it was a remake.

You're not the only one!

"La Totale!", directed by Claude Zidi in 1991

Wow! That is news to me!

I don't think you can even get that in the US, can you?

Yeah, that's the last good Arnold flick to me... Collateral Damage and T3 were OK, and The Last Stand I enjoyed, it's not great but it's probably the best 'Arnold' type flick that can be made now imo.

I like that they're getting some new actors in there, I don't see Lee/Arnold/Bruce coming back...and they need to ditch Lundgren, unless they want to do something other than making him look dumb.

I like Dolph. He's a meathead.

LOVED Last Stand. Dug Bullet To the Head and Stallone and Arnold will be back later this year with The Tomb.

I wish they'd bring in Kevin Sorbo. But apparently Stallone nixed his potential casting in EX2.

Fixed.

Ah, that's right. Escape Plan. Stupid name. The Tomb evokes awesomeness. We'll see.

Nope! There's a French (region 2) DVD, but there are no subs of any kind.

Coming out August 15, 2014

Principal photography begins this August.

I hear the script should be ready by early September.

yeah film a bunch of ad-libbed shoot outs, fight scenes first, then the scenes with dialogue will be filmed later.

Mel Gibson will play the bad guy:
