I liked it but I felt like Arnold and Chuck could have been written into the plot a little better... a lot better honestly.
Especially Chuck....agree on that one. Seems like he was an afterthought, really. Arnold is too old for this stuff any more and it showed (and he basically admits it in the film). Despite the fact that Stallone is also well into his 60’s....he’s still in amazing shape; can put actors 40 years his junior to shame in such roles.
what about Chuck? he’s 72 years old! I need to buy a bowflex!
President Camacho!
I liked what happened to Van Damme at the end. I thought it was very appropriate.
Better make it a Total Gym....that’s what he has endorsed for years. :)
Thanks for that review.
I sometimes enjoy an action-packed movie that I know I will forget about completely within 24 hours of seeing it.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with some silly escapist fare every once in a while.

Every piece of furniture Chuck Norris’s house is a Total Gym.

...and sharks have a “Chuck Norris Week”.
You’re very welcome......you’ll enjoy the flick, NO doubt. :)
Other quotes from the book...
The symbol for Chuck Norris in sign language is a middle finger on fire.
If you stare at the American flag long enough, a 3D image of Chuck Norris pops up.
If you ask Chuck Norris what time it is, he always says, “Two seconds till.” After you ask, “Two seconds till what?” he roundhouse kicks you in the face.
Chuck Norris can turn back time simply by staring at the clock and flexing.
At Chuck Norris’s bachelor party, he ate the entire cake before his friends could tell him there was a stripper in it.
Chuck Norris can make the Kessel Run in less than ten parsecs.
When Chuck Norris was denied a McGriddle at McDonald’s because it was 10:35am, he roundhouse kicked the store so hard it became a Wendy’s.
Contrary to popular belief, Chuck Norris was dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Let me add this about Jet Li’s (sadly brief) role in the opening sequence......I’ll never look at cookware the same again.
Love it.....literally LOL stuff. :) I hear Chuck loves these, too. Dude has a great sense of humor (thank God, right....).
Even though chuck wasn’t in it much, I thought he stole the show.
as long as we are doing movie reviews, go see Lawless. pretty damn good. the lead brother Forest absolutely channels Paul Newman, in a good way. I always love Guy Pearce, and he is the badest of the bad asses in this one. All in all, another popcorn and drink must go.
thanks for the Expendables II review Loved the first one so I guess i gotta see this one as well.
Tangent: JCVD was good in “Assassination Games”. Very dramatic, extremely gritty.
LOL...I do not think you could have given Chuck a better or funnier part....now better acting???....even then I did not care. Just good fun.
ALMOST went to see “Lawless”....but we opted for this one instead. Sounds like another to go see.....appreciate the heads up!
Agree 100%. They grossly overdid the “Lone Wolf McQuade” references....but what the hell, as we both noted...it was good fun. :)
