Coming next year, for some people, the ultimate cast!

Sylvester Stallone
Dolph Lundgren
Jet Li
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Bruce Willis
Mickey Rourke
Steve Austin
Jason Statham

It's just missing Jean Claude Van Damme!

Anyone else heard of it? I always wanted a film to come out with all the 80's/90's action film heroes in!

It'll probably be rubbish but I definitely want to watch it with all of them in!

I have a terrible suspicion that seeing it will make me feel very, very old.

Can't wait.

Plot said:
"A team of highly-trained, lethal, combat mercenaries go on a mission to South America to overthrow and execute a villainous dictator and his army, who has been causing devastation and chaos for the last 20 years."
Hmmm.

Written and directed by Sly himself. Could be 'interesting'.

But, for reasons I've never quite understood, Mickey Rourke gets right on my tits. Hope his is a minor part.

Can't see Arnie or Steve Austin(The 6 million Dollar Man?) being in it.

This sounds like the Wild Geese - an ageing cast (Roger Moore, Richard Burton, Richard Harris) playing ex special forces mercenaries, plan to rescue a third wiorld dictator that has been overthrown.

Throw in Steven Segal and it's a wrap. That would be like the "Cannonball Run" of action films. smile

He is an ex wrestler. Bald mean looking texan. He is in the IMBD cast list.

It will just be another form of acting for the wrestler.

Precisely. He was part of the "entertainment" wrestling, not the real stuff. Although I will commend those guys for being superior athletes. Doing the prestaged moves they do without really hurting themselves or each other is pretty good.
