HECK!

Geek... overload... can't... find... the... words...


This flick looks bad f'n ass.

Bring in Carl Weathers or Chuck Norris and I might pee myself.

-HECK!

Definitely going to be a kick ass flick. Honestly, Stallone's stock has gone up lately. Rocky Balboa was sweet and I almost shat myself during Rambo. I have high hopes.

Forrest Whitaker is out. Terry Crews is in. Crews played the president in Idiocracy. He's been in a few Happy Madison flicks too.

Also starring is 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. So cool.

Plus Eric Roberts. Meh.

But Charisma Carpentar and Brittany Murphany are in it. Tits. Literal.

-HECK!

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis will both have cameo roles now. Arnold has a smaller role.

Can this movie be any more badass?

-HECK!

The 80's are back and I like it.

I agree, these mindless 80's action extravaganzas were the bomb ish and what this world is sorely lacking.

If done right, this could be really great. I hope that Sly doesn't take this too serious. It needs to be a little campy. Fun.

I need to see the trailer NOW.

-HECK!

Sly Stallone will also be in the movie won't he?

Yeah, I think he's the main dude in it.

Rambo was good...

a little over the top with the gore, but a very decent flick. If he makes it like that, it'll be fine.

Yeah, Sly is the main dude. Writer, director, etc.

This could be the best action flick since Die Hard, or the biggest piece of crap ever.

The cast is stupid great. So much potential.

With Statham or Li you have bad-ass martial arts guys. Austin and Corture are wrestler type guys. Man, these fight scenes could be off the chain.

-HECK!

There's no way it'll be the biggest piece of crap ever. But it may not be Die Hard. It will be more than decent, I have no doubt.

But I just hope that this movie reaches the kick-ass potential it represents. Nearly every great action star of the past two decades crammed into one flick. This could be a homerun, to use a baseball analogy... and if they only get a double, I think it's a wasted opportunity.

This needs to rule beyond everything that can or ever will be ruled.

-HECK!

Honestly, if it was anybody but Stallone I'd probably be worried. I have no idea why but I have confidence in the man's abilities, especially over the past few years. The dude's made a huge come back in my book. Rocky Balboa? Loved it. Rambo? Loved it. He knows exactly what he's doing and he knows exactly what we want. The man's on a roll.

He started his career (for the most part) by writing, directing and starring in Rocky, which won Best Picture. That's huge.

Then he started doing paycheck movies.

Like you said, what a comeback now. On a roll.

This could be great.

-HECK!

I think he's got his finger on the pulse.

I mean, I bet you're like me. In the past like... probably 5-10 years, haven't you just been wishing for those messed up, non stop action flicks you used to get in the 80's? I've been craving them so bad. Flicks like Taken are pretty bad ass, but they're not Die Hard or Predator or anything like that.

80's movies were unapologetic. They just showed up and mowed down the evil enemy. No trying to UNDERSTAND the enemy.

Kill em, say a cheesy joke line, then move on to the next bad guy. It's a formula that works!

It was simple and to the point.

There were your great action flicks, and even the mediocre films were dope- Commando, Road House, Running Man, Stone Cold, Remo Williams, Big Trouble In Little China...

And the buddy cop films were fantastic- 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, Tango & Cash.

We need that kind of film back.

-HECK!

I still watch Remo Williams when it's on, though I don't like Janeway in it...

Never even heard of Remo Williams. Is it any good?

#1 Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins - stars a younger Fred Ward who kicks all kinds of ass with an Asian dude who runs across water. So you tell me, is that not worth seeing?

#2 I didn't know Janeway was in it until now. Regard. Still cool movie.

And the guy scaled the Statue of Liberty in the 80's when it got a face lift. Total sweet. Plus, did I mention running across water? Tits.

So, for a long answer, yes, see it.

Also, remember F/X? Wasn't it with Brian Dennehey (sic?) and the guy from Balme It On Rio? Either way, dope shit. F/X 2 was shizer on a pancake.

-HECK!

Remo was good because he was trained by a 20 year old dude in an old suit made to make him look about a 100.

Crazy! That old guy was so mean to Remo. Remo started out a fat loser, and ate rice, hit a board with his fingers and learned to run on top of sand...

Nothing but good times...

Wasn't there a one-armed black dude who was attacked by a dog?

-HECK!

I think his handler was a one armed black man, yes.

And Korean dude made Janeway have an orgasm by hitting pressure points in her wrist. That still makes me ill to think about it...
