Film School Rejects: ‘Rambo’ Lite Coming, ‘Expendables’ Experiment with PG-13

    Agreed, the violence made the movie. Making a sissy version would be stupid. You're going to just censor everyone's work so a larger audience can see it. Trust me there are plenty of people who like violence that will go see these movies.

    That is so f*ckn rediculous. I thought Sly was the one director out there with the balls to make his movies the way they were suppose to be made. I have been a fan for years, if the expendables is droped down to a PG-13 rating, I wont be pissing away my money on it. So much for a throw back action film. As far as a PG-13 Rambo, that would tarnish the series, and Ray Tango would be proven right....Rambo is a pussy!

    I fucking knew it! This was rumored months ago, and I felt just as sick as I do now. The cast ALONE warrants an R-rating. To hell with this producer! What's his name, Lerner? I'll write that down and be sure to boycott his movies and send him hate mail if this goes through.

    I still have a bit of hope because Stallone caters to the fans (i.e. when 50 Cent was announced as part of the cast, the fans went ape shit.....not coincidentaly, 50 Cent is dropped and Terry Crews is added)

    So there going to make The Expendibles PG-13 to bring in the youngsters?
    A generation who have no idea who Sylvester Stallone is?
    Yeah, that's smart.
    Stallone? Oh yeah, he's in those boxing movies my Dad likes.

    Wow, Avi Lerner is a freaking moron for thinking that a pg-13 rating will satisfy people in the next brilliant action movie ever. What the hell happened to hollywood? Did its balls drop off after the '90s or something?

    Hmm, ok, the PG-13 concept did not work for the original Rambo movies, which is why they turned into a joke after the first one. Stallone needs to tell Lerner that without the "R" rating he will not support the film and will ensure its demise in the interviews he does.

    They did Die Hard 4 as a PG-13 movie, and I was so disapointed it's not even funny. They took the Mclane mannerisms out of the movie, and it sucked. If they do the same with Rambo and The Expendables, it's going to be lame and many action fans will be dissapointed.
