Expendables

/Film has posted some photos from the set of Sly Stallone’s ‘The Expendables’, and all I have to say is…HAAVVEE MEERRCCYYYY!!!! Seriously, that’s a sweet f’ing plane-tail-wing-flap. The graphic image of the crow/raven bird sitting atop a globe is probably the best news I’ve seen regarding this film. Even better, Stallone recently shed some light on the tone of the movie in an interview with Collider:

“It’s a 1980s movie with today’s technology,” Stallone told Collider. “But in those days, the female leading character was a helpless girl, waiting to be rescued by the hero. Now we have a very strong female character that evolved to this form while I was writing the script. But except for this, yes, it’s a 1980s movie.”

Even though I think today’s technology sucks on film, I’m completely hopeful that The Expendables will deliver. I’ve recently begun going through the A-Team, so this news has hit me at the right time. I’m ready for vans driving off the end of piers and people hanging off of airplane landing gear. BRING IT STALLONE!

  1. The rudder on the plane has me. It kind of looks like the Guild of Calamitous Intent logo or OSI from Venture Bros.

  3. I love the sophisticated way Sly holds his gun…with his pinky out. Now that’s a pro.

  4. haha, Sarah Silverman has a bit about how porn dudes whack with their pinky finger out, “because they’re classy.”

  5. Nice. That makes sense, then, because didn’t Sly get his start in porn…or was it his bro?

  6. “Even though I think today’s technology sucks on film”

    I thought Rambo was great with all the CG gore. Stallone knows the way.

  8. I’m pretty sure that is a protein/baby blend that Stallone is consuming in copious amounts.
