Quoted from sniper

Jason Statham doesn't suck to you? Randy Couture? Steve Austin? Eric Roberts? Fucking Dolph Lundgren?

Phil's absolutely right, Norris would have put this one over the top!

Statham was great in The Transporter films, Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ( I liked Revolver too). Couture, Austin and Roberts all bring a serious amount of badassness (not sure thats a word). And Dolph Lundgren? The man played Ivan Drago and He-Man.

And so what if Norris isn't in it? Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis are in it.  


Though earth and man are gone, I thought the cube would last forever.
I WAS WRONG.

Quoted from dogglebe


I'm not sure if you were laughing when you wrote this, Balt.  I was sure laughing when I read it.

With the exception of Jet Li, none of these guys are even b-list actors.  Statham could be b-list, but he chose to do every crappy action movie that drives down his street.  Steve Austin?  Since when is he an actor?

He's doing this Dirty Dozen clone because that's all he can do is action.  No one wants him to do Shakespeare.  Come to think of it, when was the last time he didn't direct himself in a movie?

I meant to say Friends rather than actors... Cos' Stathman, Austin, Cotour are anything but actors.  Dolph, I find to be a pretty compelling guy.  I like watching his work, even if he can't deliver the lines with 100% believability in all of his movies.  But I feel he did a bang up job on the Punisher and some of his darker roles, like Minion weren't bad at all.  I enjoyed them even.

As for Sly, the guy is awesome.  I think he's super under rated and if I could sit and talk and be in constant contact with any one guy in the business for long periods of time; it'd be him. He's done it all and, as I said, his art work is some of the best I've ever seen.  It's very inspiring.  He is, to me anyways...   Check out "Eye See You" that's a damn good movie, man.  He has depth.

One of my favorite Sly movies is the one where he's in Jail. I think it was called Locked Up, but I can't remember. Cliffhanger was awesome too!

Stallone is extremely overrated as an actor; he should stick to writing and directing.  If he wants to act, he should do comedies. I enjoyed him in Demolition Man and in Oscar (seriously, I did).  And I actually liked him in Judge Dredd.

Statham was great in the first Transporter movie.  Rourke, I'm just surprised....

Well, Daylight was pretty good.


But I think it's a little overrated. Usually a film with a lot of hype and with SUCH positivity regardless of the fact it hasn't been released yet, I can only imagine that this will only be a let-down.

I agree. At least let Chuck Norris be in this one. That would send this sh-t through the roof

But I'm eagarly awaiting it. A lot.


What Am I Working On?
Currently going back and forth with projects. (--) :


Reason why Rainforests are disappearing is because of all of the useless scripts Hollywood wants everyday.
