As "Rampage" Jackson ponders a film career at the expense of a fighting one, he may want to take a look at Randy Couture‘s recent work in "The Expendables." Granted, this is just the trailer, but Couture has all of one line in it (no action movie is complete without someone uttering, "We’ve got company"), and he doesn’t even get called out at the end with the rest of the crew. Think of it as a glimpse into your future, ‘Page. The MMA world may think of you as a star, but to the general movie-going audience you’re just another dude who works cheap and can act well enough in short bursts.
Other than that, thoughts on the trailer? Sure, it looks formulaic and incredibly derivative, but part of the appeal of an action movie like this is that you know exactly what you’re going to get. I swear, though, if I go see this thing and Jet Li gets to hack his way through more lines than Couture (who plays a character named "Toll Road"), I’m going to be seriously disappointed.

Funny how Randy still looks less beat up than either Stallone or Mickey Rourke. And I'm presuming it will suck ass based solely on the presence of Eric Roberts.

Waterboarding chicks? Jet vs Dolph? Stallone doing jiu jitsu? Jason Stratham's sweaty armpits? ....I am so there on opening day. "and the Academy Award for Best Picture goes to ......." ..."nah, not really...but stuff got blown up good."

Suppose if Randy was in the winning ways lately that he would have a title cred at the end of the trailer?

Did your mother's obstetrician snip your sac off on your way out? Eric Roberts is a bad mother, he'll peel off your face and wear it while he takes your mother from behind. This movie's going to kick so much ass there won't even be half a cheek left worldwide.

The Nogs are in it too, so probably.

The best part of this will be Terry Crews doing the robot (since he finds a way to do it in every movie he's in). Otherwise it looks like the ocean's eleven of has-been action stars.

Chuck Norris was afraid to be in this movie, that's how much badass is involved with this film.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 06:05
There are only 2 things missing from this picture; Wesley and Snipes...

My original comment was flagged as spam due to its controversial political nature. I have been a supporter of this particular site since early 1993 and I demand an apology! Also, no film's badassery is complete without Don Frye in the credits.

Stallone's boring scream and juiced up head bores me . . . . next action hero, already!
Tue, 10/13/09 - 06:33
movie actually doesnt look half bad... even though they are some old actors...
Tue, 10/13/09 - 06:34
Amen, whens that nigga gettin outta jail?
Tue, 10/13/09 - 07:00
so lemme get this straight... Stalonne, Statham, Jet Li, Couture, Lundgren, Stonecold Steve Austin, Rourke, Willis, Schwarzenegger, Danny Trejo...in ONE movie? man that's almost as much testosterones as the "just bleed" guy.

It is the best dating club for seeking the rich singles, beautiful girls and even hot celebs.. what's the most important is that you don't have to be a M illionaire,but you can meet one. What's relationship do you want? Hope you can find your perfect match.

"The Expendables"... a more fitting title has never graced a motion picture.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 08:03
And was that John Salley at the beginning speaking in his best ambiguous patois?
Tue, 10/13/09 - 08:10
they should make a sequel starring ben rothwell, roy nelson and tim sylvia called The Expandables.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 08:18
who's the big black guy making those tough faces. he's going to die early..
Tue, 10/13/09 - 08:22
sly's face is on the juice.

I am going into this w/low expectations as not to be disappointed. It worked for Scorpion King 2 but the expectations were EXTREMELY low.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 08:33
this movie is going to suck balls.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 09:08
this is either going to be the usual suspects of action movies, or a bunch of cluttered shit. Im not passing judgement till i see it.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 09:30
angellove, i hope you slowly die of aids and cancer.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 10:49
did anyone catch the ridiculous armbar that stallone does in the preview? Fucking amazing.
Tue, 10/13/09 - 10:58
Oh and Jackoff... go look at the end of my comment at the end of the rankings post. Do it. Whats at the end of the comment that is. THIS MOVIE WILL BE AMAZING... is it gay that it kinda gave me a boner?

If they don't cut a better trailer than that this thing's going straight to DVD.
Wed, 10/14/09 - 04:08
So couture's an extra?
Wed, 10/14/09 - 05:10
Let me get this straight, you flag me as spam and let that muthafucka post his bullshit?
Wed, 10/14/09 - 06:44
Looking at Sly Stone's face the movie should be called "The Expandables" [ badum dum pow! ]
Wed, 10/14/09 - 12:43
I'm just saying, Randy, when the black guy has more lines than you do, it's not a good sign.
Wed, 10/14/09 - 09:17
Greatest movie of all time. Especially if they amp the gore up like in the last Rambo. Nobody knows how to do an excellent old school action movie like Stallone. I'll see any movie he does. Ever.
