Good Lord. I just saw a trailer for this during the game tonight.

Stallone! Statham! Rourke! Li! Schwarzenegger! Willis! A Whole Lot Of Testosterone!

With a cast like that even if it sucks it will become an instant cult classic

[Brazoo]

This movie will rule!

And even if it is terrible it will still rule!

Boom....That's all i needed to hear this film is going to Rock!!!

Yeah, we saw a trailer for that when we went to see Ironman 2 this weekend. I agree. This should become an instant classic. Stallone is still kicking it.

Stone Cold & Dolph Lungren too.
I am so seeing this.
I wonder what the Body count is...., these Guys average 35 kills per movie.

Here's what I don't get about Steve Austin; As Stone Cold, in the WWE, I thought he was awesome... He's got a lot of charisma and a real connection to the audience. But when he makes a movie, he's flat, boring and uninteresting. He just can't "act" very well. I sat with the guy over many lunches a few years back (we had the same agent at one point) and talked about him playing the lead in one of my films. Super cool guy, but in hindsight, I'm kinda glad he didn't. I just watched "The Stranger" yesterday afternoon, and wow-- He just awful. The script and direction didn't help, but he just seems to not be able to deliver the intensity and performance he did in the wrestling ring. "The Condemned" as well, was terrible. I dunno, maybe he's better in "The Expendables"... I like Sly. Maybe he got the performance out of him. Time will tell...

I like his performance in the stranger and the condemned.I thought he was great in the Nash bridges episodes years ago.
The problem is he has no great range as far as acting goes he pretty much plays one role type but I think he does it decent enough.I think he will get better.
The strange thing about the stranger is I liked his acting in the movie over Adam beaches and I would say beach is a far better actor!?!?!?
The biggest thing to bother me about the stranger was when beach unloads 30 shots from his service pistol in the end of the show without reloading once!!!
That kind of crap drives me insane.

I think Austin could evolve given more roles and experience.I mean look at the rock in his early films and how he has evolved as an actor now.But he has got to start playing different role or else he is always going to get the
ex-con/ex-military or ex-cop type of roles.I think austin really lacks good direction so I am anxious to see him in the expendables as Stallone does a good job usually and knows what he wants.If anything he is not worse than cotoure thats for sure...

Stone Cold was very good in the Condemed imo ..., I didn't think he was boring at all, I also liked him on Nash Bridges. ...

He was also the Racist Prision Guard in the re-make of The Longest Yrd...

I personally would like to see more Stone Cold in Flicks. ..., maybe some can get him a Script that's a little more like his WWE stuff ,... give him some crap talking lines and some Beer...., and someone He can shoot the Finger At.

I haven't scene Stranger yet, it's on my Red Box list.
