It’s the movie equivalent of suckling 8 pints of liquid testosterone directly from breast of a Playboy Playmate Of The Year while arm-wrestling a bear. On fire. It’s Robert Rodriguez’s ridiculous Machete and it’s sparked a bidding war between six major production companies. 20th Century Fox, already signed up for the Desperado director’s Predators, finally secured the deal this week…
After spending New Years Day cleaning what, for argument’s sake, we’ll assume was mud mixed with chewing gum off the office floor, we finally had time to carry on checking out all the new movies crawling out of the toilet to infect your eyeballs like refugees from an early Cronenberg movie in the new year. Yep, it’s part two of our craptabulous round up of the biggest, worstest flicks of 2010!
Stallone’s upcoming beefcake-fest The Expendibles has put the entire STS office into fits of full-on 80s fanboy fever, so it’s with baited breath that we snuck a peek at this extended promo reel that’s popped up online today (Unfortunately it didn’t last long before the killjoys at Lionsgate whipped it off, so here’s some top notch behind the scenes footage instead).
Packed with the kind of cheesy one-liners and bone-smashing action we’ve been praying for, it looks like this could well live up to the OTT expectations of legions of cinema-goers who feel like crazed, musclebound jungle actioners have been somewhat absent of late.
Jason Statham.
A rumbling carved-from granite cockerney chancer and one time British National Diving Squad member: Perfect for low-budget crap like Death Race and innumerable sequels right?
Wrong.
As he cements his place in the international action fraternity in upcoming Sly mercenary flick The Expendables, it’s time more people recognised The Stath for what he is – an iron willed made-in-Britain action monster that STS bloody loves!
To prove it, we’ve come up with the following list to showcase his versatility, believability and all-round ass-kickery as an actor. Duck and cover, and for God’s sake don’t make any bald jokes as we look at the only dodgy cockney ever to trade up from Kelly Brook, and check out the best of The Stath!
Looks like rejuvenating the 80s action genre with upcoming The Expendables isn’t enough for Sly, who’s been Jabbering to AINC about the continuing adventures of hard as nails pensioner Johnny R, and it looks like things will be taking quite a detour from Rambo’s brief delve into political expression.
