The Expendables trailer

I thought I posted this last week but it slipped through the cracks. I hate to judge a movie by its trailer but this feels exactly like the kind of B-grade action movies that were released in theatres in the ’80s but now go directly to DVD. The bad one-liners, bodies leaping ahead of explosions, cheesy bad guys with bad accents (which they even make fun of in the trailer). Even the sight of Dolph Lundgren going toe-to-toe with Jet Li isn’t enough to make me overlook the goofy raspberry berets (make your own Prince joke). I was really hoping this would be a hard-R, blood-and-guts, over-the-top (pun intended) Sly Stallone actioner like the deliriously entertaining Rambo. Oh yeah, and if you haven’t figured out why I’m posting this on FW, Randy Couture’s one of Stallone’s bad-asses.
