As if a movie starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li wasn’t enough to appease Lionsgate that meatheads will line up to buy tickets, the trailer for “The Expendables” goes ahead and gives up its Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger cameos ensuring that those same meatheads will be pissed when they realize the Governator and Bald Hard are only in the film for about five seconds.
Otherwise, the trailer tries to be a winking, cutesey, homage to stupid action films from the ’80s but ends up just looking like a stupid action film from the ’80s. The film features everyone Stallone seems to have met in his life but we’re not going to list them here because Stallone has been editing this thing to death with smaller roles dropping out of the project left and right. But don’t worry, they’ll probably end up on the DVD/BluRay that will be purchased by meatheads with expendable income that isn’t being spent on HGH.
“The Expendables” opens on August 13th.
