I really enjoyed this!

I kinda missed the scene where Sly rises up out of the water firing two heavy machine guns at once in Super Slow Motion.

They had to save something for the sequel--no large enough bodies of water in the semi-desert!--as Sly rises from the depths of the Potomac.

STALLONE rises from depths of Potomac, machine guns firing. Cut to entire WATERGATE Office Complex exploding in a giant fireball.

STALLONE: "Bug *that*!"

This movie would make a kajillion dollars. I don't think the foreign market would be profitable, however.

This goddamned weepy Oscar bait doesn't do a thing for me.

Roy, Roy, Roy . . . I am soooo disappointed that you've had to stoop to copy-pasting someone's jerkoff fantasy from 4chan.

Seriously, though--I could see Steve Bannon bankrolling this movie. It's got all the elements he'd love!

Doesn't he prefer movies with gladiators in?

“Each EXTENDIBLE clanks his or her own balls as a form of applause.”

Damn, that’s some ruling class seal of approval quality literary verbiage there. Unfortunately, like democracy, justice is on some huge decline.

But a quibble because I’m an unredeemable asshole: somewhere in that first scene, Tommy is supposed to ask Exposition whether this time we’ll be allowed to win.

When that first Expendibles movie came out I looked at the cast, figured out the average age and thought maybe they should have called it "The Disposables"

(Sorry, you seem to have misspelled "The Fungibles")

The character names are aces. I smell a spinoff. “Chunk Beefhead & Breasts: This fall on NBC!”

Very good idea, but just "Beefhead & Breasts"—see "Turner & Hooch", "Tango & Cash",….

Speaking of which, will the animatronicised corpse of Jack Palance be in the sequel? I jept on expecting him in this….

Hilarious. You had me at the cast of characters. (Here's hoping Mickey Rourke makes it to the assault on the Capitol.)

OT, but could someone explain to me the craze for turning one's body into a mural? These days, Stallone looks like a Palm Beach alte kaker wearing a paisley shawl.

"and beat up the Taliban" is the action direction of the decade. Okay, of the century. But isn't Shady Slim supposed to be revealed as a perfidious traitor, a la Joey Pants in (SPOILER ALERT) The Matrix? And can someone tell me who Madelaine Petsch is?

Oh. Yeah. Right. Thanks.

It's her birthday today. She is now 27, which is still younger than I was when she was born :(

Dolph and Chuck are gonna be so pissed they missed the cast call. Maybe they’ll make it for the sequel “Extendibles: Antarctica Weather Station.”

Praying for a Jon Voight cameo in the "Extendibles Take Washington" sequel.
