A Message From Sylvester Stallone And His EXPENDABLES

Gentlemen, Sylvester Stallone has something important he needs to say to you. Ladies, I'm sorry, but this is not for you. I present one of the greatest pieces of film marketing ever made.

No way is this a real trailer. They wouldn't dare...

Yet it is awesome beyond belief.
It's the funniest piece of sexism ever, and it went straight to my soul and brought tears to my eyes.

Damn good trailer. If the Expendables lose out to the likes of the new Julie Roberts movie, my faith in humanity is gone and I would hang my head in deep sorrow. All man must unite and support real action films!!!

Oh, I'll be there, no worries about that...but Scott Pilgrim is also coming out that weekend.

Sadly, Pilgrim JUUUUUUSSST edges out Expendables for me.

.....fuck it, I'll watch both!

The idea of this 'trailer' is brilliant. The first 35 seconds and titles overall are on point. What ruins it for me? The actually trailer shots from the film - they are WEAK. I mean how much of the action takes place in a nondescript warehouse (AKA the cheapest shooting location ever). The casting makes the movie worth checking out, but we the audience forgot to give them the budget for a proper action flick.

Uh, everyone does know this is a fake trailer right? This was not made by Lionsgate. You all know this right?

Unfortunately we are all very aware that LG wouldnt have the balls to make this trailer. But that is ok I suppose. Their energy would have been better spent making a better film in the first place.

Fake or not, this is EXACTLY the word of mouth this film needs to generate. Well done!

You know I love the expendables, its the most anticipated movie of the year for me ever since tron 2 dropped wendy carlos, but. I do not for one iota understand the rediculousness of stallone and producers for casting Steve Austin, one of the worst action stars I've ever seen in the last 20 years over stars like Vihn Disle, Dwayne "the Rock" johnson, even clint eastwood who just acted in his own movie would have made a greater team leader.The movie Damage is god awful with powers. A pity van damme and norris bailed out from doing this.

Austin's here purely so they can do a Steve Austin vs Randy Couture fight. Which they do, and it's a good one. And Austin's fine in his part, which is basically a featured henchman. He barely speaks, he's just there to look big and scary.

Kurt russel would have made a better action hero than austin even lolol. why, i dont get hollywood. I'm still seeing this lol.
