Another Lionsgate film, out in Summer, (as one month before Dredd!)

Here the crazy trailer!

I maintain my assertion that this is the male version of a Sex and the City movie.

Indubitably. I expect obligatory product placements.



*It looks fucking awful.

There's more evidence of the surgeon's work in The Expendables than there is among Carrie Bradshaw and friends. Bigger tits too.

Also none of them are even close to the same calibre of actor that Cynthia Nixon is.

It must have been a bad assignment they got Chuck Norris out of retirement. Still not a full compliment in my book, they should have had McGruber and MacGuyver too.

Arnie's line with the smart car was lol funny! I just hope they keep it oldskool as much as possible. That's what a lot of people liked about the last one. It was nostalgic. Stunts please... No CGI bollocks!

I hear Tom Cruise's hair will make a cameo in this one. At least we'll have the most entertaining portion of Cruise to watch.

Never mind The Expendables , we - well, me anyway - want to see Jack Bauer on the big-screen in a no-holds-barred 24 movie... if 20th Century Fox can spare a miserly $40m from their enormous coffers, that is...

 :D wow, . . . good to see Van Damme  and Norris onboard and Arnie and Willis with more of a role in this one! Sad that the great Brandon Lee is not around, he would need to be in that spectacular lineup!

I'm excited for this movie - even though it will probably NOT live up to the hype at all lol

My own expendables consisting of actors either understated in the Expendables or overlooked altogether or newcomers to action greatness;

Ryan Gosling
Sylvester Stallone
Dolph Lundgren
Nicolas Cage
Kurt Russell
Iko Uwais
Karl Urban
Gina Carano
Daniel Craig

with cameos from Tom Cruise and Matt Damon

The first one was fucking awful, can't see this being any better. It wasn't good, so bad its good or knowingly bad, it was just dull dull DULL.

Dredd looks like a far truer homage to 80s action movies.

I do wonder one thing, why first film wasn't on Sky Movies??
Title: Re: The Expendables 2 (2012)

So it's rated 15, so they won't shows 18 rated version trailer of Dredd 3D?

Why should that film being rated 15 automatically mean Dredd will follow suit?
