this has gotta be the most anticipated movie of this year ! the actor lineups makes it a very promising action movie. I mean come on, from the badass driver Jason Statham to the ass-kicking Rambooooo ! Not to mention Terry Crews, who never fails to be the clown in movies. Lots of other great actors as well. I've been waiting for this movie since last year wooot and the waiting shall end soon !
IMO, it'd be awesome if Stallone had included Van Damme in this movie. Everyone needs a universal soldier in their battalion    . Oh well, can't always ask for all the best things in life eh. Need a time machine now to fast forward to the release day of this movie wooot !

Wow, if this is true (The part where Willis and Arnie showed up for FREE), then Willis and Arnie are really endorsing us to go for the film!

All 3 opened planet hollywood anyways. But I think there's more tidbits in the article that you could digest on. Its a really pump up worthy feeling!

But still, can't beat Scott Pilgrim.

Well, they are old friends to Stallone after all

Haha I remember in Last Action Hero where in the movie world, Danny tried to show Arnie the movie posters he starred recently in some video shop but end up all the main character's face are Stallone's(including Terminator 2). Then Danny shout "No!It wasn't supposed to be him,it was supposed to be you"

Sylvester Stallone Blames 'Batman' for Decline of '80s Action Heroes

Back in the 1980s, they were the biggest stars in Hollywood, both in terms of box-office receipts and bicep circumference. But the glory days of the brawny action heroes -- Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, and the like -- eventually faded. In their place, a new breed of '90s star took over: younger, leaner, and nowhere near as macho. By decade's end, Keanu Reeves was a huge action star (shudder to think).

Where did it all go wrong? According to an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sylvester Stallone puts the blame squarely on the caped shoulders of one comic book hero.

"It was the first 'Batman' movie," Stallone told the Times, in reference to the 1989 movie adaptation starring Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader. He went on to say, "The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on," a clear dig at how the trim Keaton was encased in a sculpted Batsuit for the film. Stallone joked, "I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself... "I didn't have to go to the gym for all those years."

Stallone adds that the director Tim Burton's stylish take on the superhero story changed what audiences expected from an action flick: "It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end."

It's ironic, then, that Stallone will be going to this year's San Diego Comic-Con -- the center for all things geeky -- to promote his upcoming movie, "The Expendables," which is a true throwback to the action hits of the '80s. In the film, Stallone (who also directed) leads a team of mercenaries to overthrow a corrupt South American dictator. It costars Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, and even Stallone's "Rocky IV" nemesis, Dolph Lundgren.

"The Expendables" is also notable for being the first time Stallone has appeared on-screen with fellow '80s icons Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Stallone told the Times that each of them had their own on-screen persona which made set them apart from one another: "Arnold was king of the one-liners. Bruce was witty and talkative... And I was pretty silent." He added that their differences made it impossible for him to see himself in his friend's signature roles. "Arnold was relentless, like this perfect machine. People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator."

As it happens, Bruce Willis will be at Comic-Con this weekend promoting his upcoming movie "Red," which also is an action flick about an aging team of experts. It stars Oscar-winners Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren.

Stallone will preview "The Expendables" at Comic-Con on Thursday, and the movie will muscle its way into movie theaters on August 13.

Velcro suits FTW!

But still, 80s was a legendary moment for action films.

And he is still living in the 80s
