The Expendables 2

doesnt matter if they are old. Have you seen RED ? pretty much all the players in there are 'older'

I loved the 1st one, i think if they make a seconds it will be brilliant if they get some of those names into it. What a huge cast.

how about Clint Eastwood in it? That could be good.


PS: someone above said because it will be rated PG or so, it won't be full of swearing or blood etc.

Well, Emmerdale doesn't have masses or blood or swearing in it and that is good isn't it?

I just can't believe that with all these massive actors and probably quite a few large ego's including Stallone's own... they have caved in to Chuck Norris :confused:

You would have more fans seeing the original OTT bloodbath swearfest than a toned down version just because it has Chuck in :confused:

Will still see this and still looking forward to it but lost a little hype on my end now :(
 
Gutted this has been toned down. At the end of the day the appeal of the first was the over the top violence! "warning shot" we will end up with a film that should be Rambo/cobra/commando/total recall but will end up as stop or my mom will shoot or last action hero... Pityfull :(
 
Considering the majority of the Action Films these guys have been in have been an 18...to have it as PG-13 is simply Blasphemy :(

Chuck Norris has indeed ruined an aspect which made the first film so great in terms of the over-the-top violence :(
 
Totally sucks if they are going with the PG-13 rating. What is the point - It's meant to be an over-the-top action film with blood and swearing etc. I'd rather have an 15/18 rated Expendables 2 without Norris...

Our only hope is the inevitable unrated DVD/Blu-Ray! :(
 
Action films need to be 18, just look at AvP and all the other modern action failures.

Saying that wasn't expendables 15?

With blu-ray being 18?

Considering the overall cast why didn't they just tell Norris to naff off?

The original film was a brilliant re-dux of the 80's action films we all know and love; lacking in plot and acting but making up for it with OTT action.

With a PG-13 this will end up like a "My First Action Film" by Tomy.
 
PG-13?

Hmmmmmm.

Can't make my mind up now, I don't really care about the language used, but I don't want some crappy action film without big guns and the over the top action leading to lots of people being shot.
 
Was there much swearing in the first film?

To be fair I don't really recall and I would excuse the odd F-bomb being missed out as long as the action sequences were in still in place.

That's going to be the thing that's hit by this the hardest though, there wont be another Terry Crews/AA-12 Shotgun scene in this sequel now :(
 
Thanks Norris, no idea why you're included in the cast (other than for your internet reputation), you're a miserable git. I certainly don't think he's an action movie legend.

It shouldn't have mattered that younger folk couldn't have watched the movie, that is not who it should be targeted at...

Just imagine all the classic action movies of old if Norris had been involved...
Imagine if all your favourite films were made in a similar vein to Terminator 3. *shudders*

Exactly. It sounds immature, but that's the point. These movies are meant to be over the top action, the more columbians/russians/*insert generic bad place* terrorists that end up shot, the more entertaining.

Die Hard 4 was a PG-13 in the US. That translated to a 15 over here. Don't believe the hype.

While it is a little disappointing we also have to remember that if a lot of the 18s from the 80s were re-released now they would probably be classified as 15s as well. Censorship has slackened over the years.
 
Of course the most stupid thing about making this film in particular PG-13 is that there's very few people under the age of 13 who've actually seen the likes of Stallones back catalogue of films. The Expendables is a series made for people who grew up with Stallone & Van Damme etc during the 80's & 90's and we're the ones that this PG-13 age rating is screwing over :o
 
The Expendables 2 will carry an R rating, according to Sylvester Stallone.

Having previously confirmed rumours that the movie would be rated PG-13, the actor has now announced that it will carry the same higher rating as the first film.

Speaking to The Stallone Zone, Stallone said: "After taking in all the odd rumours and hearsay, EXPENDABLES II is an R."

It had previously been reported that the sequel's vulgarity would be toned down, following the addition of Chuck Norris to the cast.

Joy if true :)
