Film School Rejects: The Expendables: A Badass Promo Trailer

  • Osiris3657 · 1 month ago
    Still no word on the rating? This is one of those movies that is make or break based on the rating. If they neuter the action it will be a disaster.
  • RobertFure · 1 month ago
    I'm sure it's going to be R. Rambo was "R" and did well enough for a sequel, so I doubt Stallone would tone down Expendables.
  • Osiris3657 · 1 month ago
    Well I say that because there was some quote from Stallone himself...no wait, it was the producer of the film that said this was going to likely be PG-13. To gain "new, younger fans" for Stallone was the reasoning.

    This looks absolutely badass! Just the right # of explosions, ass kicking, and one-liners you only hear in movies like this. And it has Angel from DEXTER as a bad guy! I'll go see it.
  • Osiris3657 · 1 month ago
    You should check him out in the HBO show Oz, he was a bad guy in that and was incredible. Much better than his role in Dexter, a show I also like.

    This looks awesome. I agree about the rating being a sticking point, but if they have that much post to do, I imagine they might not even be sure of what rating they are looking at from the MPAA (although I hope they have one they're shooting for). Which is hopefully R.

    I mean, it has to be, right? They know the audience to shoot for here. And you've got to follow in the footsteps of Commando.

    And, yes, I'll be hoping for a John Matrix cameo at the end of this as the potential new bad guy for the sequel, The Expendables Go Hawaiian.

    This looks awesome. I hope you have a receipt from your coke dealer cause he gave you some bad product. You have dropped sir in the ratings of critics. The movie does not look awesome, unless you are being facetious, and by facetious I mean high as a mothaF@#$ing Kite!!!
  • icarus2dsun · 1 month ago
    This is not awesome this is the opposite of awesome. Could Jean Claude Van Damme have been right by not being in this movie. Or could he have been put over the top by appearing in this following JCVD? Movies like these can be found in the dollar been at Generic Stores all around America. Or Cosco, if you have a membership card.
  • mychaleg · 1 month ago
    he's right. there were two copies in my local Generic Store's dollar been. i couldn't check Cosco, because IT DOESN'T EXIST YOU FOOL. this movie is gonna Chan-zen from Jing-woo aka The Best. what's wrong with you?
  • icarus2dsun · 1 month ago
    I was going to get mad but then you spelled BIN Wrong so I let it go. This movie DOES NOT look good. It looks mediocre, not the worse but not good like people are making it. So you sir can suck it!!

    WORST, you idiot, not worse.
  • icarus2dsun · 1 month ago
    That's what you came to write? Not about the movie trailer. Well you are the WORSE Person on this post so far. Did I use the right one this time? Fu#$ing Douche Bag lol! You guys are hilarious. I love this.
  • rpaine · 1 month ago
    Lets look at was icarus2dsun has accomplished:
    1. Voiced his dumbass opinion, structuring it so that it pisses people off.
    2. Called out someone's spelling with a criticism that is neither spelled write nor grammatically correct, which is hilarious by the way.
    3. And has used the classic defense where he tries to look better than everyone by saying "I love this"...do you? Well I love the fact that everyone here is smarter than you and that you're being a pathetic prick just trying to get a rise out of everyone on the internet.

    by the way, expendables looks over-the-top and fun like i expected it would be.
  • rpaine · 1 month ago
    haha, he must be rubbing off on me...I meant right, not write.
  • mychaleg · 1 month ago
    at the risk of piling on, i've 'bin' loving his responses.
  • icarus2dsun · 1 month ago
    So I can't voice my opinion if you don't like it. LOL are you serious? You must be just trying to be seen. Ok I see you. What about my opinion in the begging was insulting? Please I really want someone to answer that. I talked strictly about the film and you and these other morons seem to be trying to attack me personally. Of course I am really laughing at you!
  • mychaleg · 1 month ago
    i did that on purpose. read your original post, which you didn't even bother to fix before calling me out on spelling. "i learned it be watching you, dad!"

    i remember the sneak peak of Rambo looked like garbage, too. it had a that 'straight to DVD' look. but the pros did all the post work as Dr. A (Dr. C? Dr. CA? Dr. Caca?) mentions here and it turned out fine.

    and yes, i will suck it...it being the fat cigar of success that is The Expendables.
  • icarus2dsun · 1 month ago
    LOL this is hysterical!! You try and attack me on my opinion on a movie trailer and then bash me for something unrelated. You are a moron indeed. Your last statement actually made more sense, I am taking about a trailer and you defend the trailer by attacking me personally, really, really, do you feel better about yourself now.

    LOL but in fairness, your last statement was right. Rambo did look like garbage when I saw the trailer and I did like Rambo. That is what you should have said in the beginning! Not some crap drivel, I came on here to express my opinion of a film and you attacked me personally and now you feel superior about yourself. This makes me laugh cause I actually make movies, which is why I love this site cause more sensible people tend to be on here. Apparently your not one of them.
  • mychaleg · 1 month ago
    i'm glad the lulz you're getting keep you coming back, because i'm cherishing your posts.
  • icarus2dsun · 1 month ago
    I aim to please!!
  • ronansobieski · 1 month ago
    You are retarded. Go and make your own movie then you faggot. Not everyone is just looking forward for the next Gay Potter movie like you, some actually like REAL action movies.
  • icarus2dsun · 1 month ago
    I don't know what's sadder, that you care that I don't like this TRAILER, or that you thought that that statement was somehow, the way to express yourself. But to each his own, I will pray for you SIR.

    P.S Lets face it, its not that serious, the psychiatric help you need however is.

    I think Stallone's star is on the up rise again. After Rocky Balboa people are realizing that he isn't a cartoon character any more.
  • Martin Appleby · 1 month ago
    I hear there is a cameo from Barry Wang!
  • Aleric · 1 month ago
    Bring it Happy Feet....love that line.

    It doens't look like a bad movie yet, but the trailer does need a make over, it looks rushed. I will go and see it regardless due to the talent involved.

    Hey Icarus, calm it down man, you need to switch to decaff.
  • RobertFure · 1 month ago
    Dear Stallone,

    1. That was pretty awesome.
    2. Stop using CGI blood.

    Sincerely,

    Robert.
  • Osiris3657 · 1 month ago
    I concur, practical blood FTW!

    Is it just me or does it look grainy? Like it was shot in the 90s. Is this the quality of the video or does this reflect the look of the movie?
  • mychaleg · 1 month ago
    "Just know that there’s a lot left to be done — color correction, ADR sound polishing, etc." many movies look like this before they get that 'post production' shine.
