The Expendables Makes Weekend Box Office Smell Like Wee

August 15th, 2010 By Stuart Heritage

Sylvester Stallone is back. And Dolph Lundgren is back. And Jet Li is back. And Jason Statham is back, so it's not all good news.

But they're back. And it's all thanks to The Expendables, the film where all the aforementioned action stars run around and shoot things and flex their muscles and reminisce about the old days and complain about young people and take cod liver oil capsules and worry that their children never call and make sure the batteries on their Saga SOS alarms are charged up and grimly wait for the cold hand of death, is the weekend box office number one.

It just goes to show that age ain't nothing but a number. A really big number, admittedly, and one that that directly corresponds to gradual loss of physical and cognitive ability, but whatever. Full US weekend box office top five after the jump…

Behind The Scenes Look at Stallone’s The Expendables

August 6th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

The ’80s revival is well underway now with right wing politicians in power in the UK, synthpop plaguing the charts and, right on cue, Sylvester Stallone is out with an old-fashioned action movie that’s filled with explosions, testosterone and big protein shake muscles constantly exposed.

It’s called The Expendables and we’ve got a behind the scenes look at the film, which includes Dolph Lundgren, someone being blown in half, Sly showing people how to look rock hard as the director and things on fire.

However, by far the most amazing spectacle in the videos is the film critic who appears at 1.36 who, on first site, will make you gasp with delight/horror. It’s worth tuning in for him alone.

Sly Stallone Shoots People During Interview. Honest.

August 5th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Sly Stallone is a fine and inspirational human being. You know why? Because he’s really old and has muscles. He also talks like a recovering stroke victim. If he can continue to get acting jobs and open up a dodgy restaurant chain with other celebs, then you dear reader, can do most anything if you put your mind to it. Oh, and his middle name sounds like the word ‘garden’.

Now, he’s so exciting and wild that he’s gone and shot a load of people until they are completely dead with a bazooka thing during an interview at Comic-con.

Of course, this is all to promote his new movie, The Expendables (adopts announcer voice) in theaters next Friday!

Steve Austin – The Hecklerspray Interview

August 7th, 2012 By David Scarborough

Meeting the wrestler formally known as Stone Cold Steve Austin feels like being back at school again, waiting outside the headmaster?s office to be summoned in to talk.

Except we don't remember our headmaster having the ability to knock our nose to the back of our head with a look. Steve Austin is about our height, but with the muscle mass of a bungalow attached to each arm. Shaking his hand, it soon becomes apparent how brittle we are compared.

Instantly his southern accent and smile are disarming. He has constant stories of the movie biz, his wrestling career as the infamous ?Stone Cold? and seems genuinely excited to be working with some top actors at the moment. So we gave Steve a right good grilling…

Schwarzenegger Believes People Will Still Pay To See Him Topless

March 25th, 2009 By Paul Gibson

Joyous news for people who just can’t get enough of old men’s saggy breasts on their movie screens: Sylvester Stallone has announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger will be starring in his upcoming film.

A little bit of sick has just come up into our mouth.

We knew that Stallone was a fan of whipping deceased stallions, but until now we thought Schwarzenegger had some pride. But something – the idea of recapturing his youth, the lure of making another bathful of quids, or the devastating effects of dementia – has convinced Arnie it would be a great idea for him to appear in Stallone’s latest film.

Mickey Rourke Seals Comeback With Gormless Stallone Movie

March 25th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

This is Mickey Rourke’s year – by Christmas he’ll have won an Oscar, become the biggest star on Earth and colonised the moon.

That’s if you believe the hype. If you don’t believe the hype you’ll realise that Mickey Rourke was lucky enough to be cast in a movie that required a washed-up squidge-faced dumbbell who cries a lot as a star. But either way, thanks to The Wrestler Mickey Rourke is back in business.

So how is Mickey Rourke going to continue of his run of critically-acclaimed highbrow movies? By co-starring in a low-rent film about Sylvester Stallone killing everything. Whoops.
