Name this movie: An ace CIA operative, condemned as a rogue and now hunted by the Company, bashes and crashes his way through colorful foreign settings, pursued by heavily armed hit men, while back at Langley headquarters an inscrutable deputy director and one of his top lieutenants are arousing the...

That is some impressive artwork!
I'd be willing to bet it was done without a grant from the NEA.
It's a movie poster. It's commissioned, commercial graphic art. Why on earth would it be NEA funded?
Expendables?
For a second I thought it was about non-working people 65 or older in the Obamacare bill.
If the movie is half as cool as the poster and cast, I'm there.
The last Rambo flick was a hoot.
Grant from the NRA more likely.
If I knew nothing else about the movie, given the current Hollywood climate, this poster alone would guarantee my butt in a seat.
Cool! I get to choose my weapon!
For Christsakes, I was being facetious. Can't you understand sarcasm?
I still think the artwork is great.

tons of the throwaway lines we know and loved from Arnold, Stalone and all those other kick butt action stars..
"WHO SENT YOU??"
"Your hairdresser.."
LOVE IT!!! Be there or be square!!!
Looks a hell of lot like something I drew in pen and ink and got paid 50 bucks for way back in college days…wonder if I still have an old copy of that…litigation time!!!
Wait, common sense takes over…my drawing didn't have big huge machine guns, only blades, and I think a bunch of other crafty and talented people drew similar renditions. However, maybe Lohan's attorneys could help me out here.
When I first heard about this movie I felt my testosterone levels go up by %50. This movie is an answer to all those wimpy "action" stars like Matt "MAAATTT DAAMMOONN" Damon.
Hmmm. . . needs more guns.
Yeah. Definitely needs more guns.
.
"The Expendables" – a perfect commentary on the way the elites see our military. And the funny thing is, you guys embrace this! LOL! Maybe you guys don't deserve freedom. Just to go off and die for the bankers in foreign wars.
This looks to be a deep, thoughtful, highly intellectual work of serious art. The kind of picture that really makes you think.
Order me a mega-tub of popcorn and a jumbo Coke — I'm there.
On that we can agree! What can I say? Long day at work.
Well, that's a pretty bad-ass cast, too.
I've read an interview with Sly where he said he wasn't a conservative in a book about Ali. I love this idea however about a rag-tag team of military men taking down a Chavez or Castro-like dictator. For an apparent lib, Sly doesn't seem to show his leftie ID as others are so fond of doing (his backing of Mccain and so forth) or maybe since then he's had a change of heart, who knows, I may be spouting untrue nonsense about him. I'll probably show up to my theater to see this on opening day!
Wow Randy you're so right, silly us. We rubes shouldn't have to shut our minds off and enjoy an action flick that shows the good guys doing what we expect them to: Kill bad guys! I love how you say we don't deserve freedom based on opinion, when the our Constitution guarantees free speech or opinions. Also I'm not entirely sure what you mean by foreign wars., because the Rag Heads started this fight and if morons like you would get out of the way our military could end it.
No……………………………….they're called Soylent Green, not expendables.
Maybe it could be a class action lawsuit, since me and everyone I went to Art & Design with drew that exact same poster back in '83!
Wow……………..that picture reminds me of what it would look like under the perfect Christmas tree.
Looks like the tramp stamp on Jesse James' new girlfriend.
Wow.
Looks like fun, and with a heck of a cast for an action flick. Looking it up on IMDB also credits Bruce Willis and The Governator in it as well.
Well lets see here you have Stallone and you have lots of guns and big Knives, That add up to two things, me going and major killing of the enemy and well its Stallone. Say what you will about the guy, he knows how to make a movie. The last Rambo was great, The end when he knocks on the door of the old home stead. Classic, Home is the Soldier home from the wars.
Just curious, if it turns out it was Israel that attacked us on 9/11 and not some convenient "rag heads" – will you be in favor of killing Jews?
This looks great and all, but what I REALLY want is for BigHollywood to post the trailer for PREDATORS-
You heard me, the trailer for a sequel to the original PREDATOR movies has been released.
If anybody cares (aka anyone with a pair between their legs), head over to IGN and check it out!!
PS Above poster is awesome.
They didn't, so I don't. Randy, you're just in favor of killing Jews period, because you're under the delusional belief that his infected Europe since the Middle Ages that Jews are responsible for everything.
you'all seen latest Rambo!!!! friggin awesome!!! totally hardcore conservative!!!
The 5 Israelis jumping for joy and filming the attacks certainly point to them. And I'm not alone. Who benefitted?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsWcQXr1Nk8
Where's the photographic evidence? Where's the men flashing Mossad badges and jumping for joy (a curiously open and obvious display for intelligence professionals)? All I heard on that tape was a bunch of idiots talking up the same old conspiracy theories. And again, what's the logic? Why attack a nation that according to you Israel needs for its survival. Why systematically attack a nation Israel needs for its survival? There is no logic to any of it.
It's a load of horseshit. Osama bin Laden has admitted he ordered the attacks be done. KSM admitted he planned them. 9/11 was the work Sunni Muslim extremists bent on killing Americans.
You MUST get tired of being you, don't you? Same old yarn…"the Jews this, the Jews that…"
The alphabet soup Mom cooks for you spelling out all these "conspiracy theories"?
Yawn.
Does Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul know you're up this late …?
Get back on your meds, you little dhimmi.
Pop quiz – who said this:
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,"
The logic is it is the impetus for the US to carry out Israel's agenda in the Middle East which was clearly laid out by PNAC (right now to the attack.)
Design one with Pitchforks and Torches.
Too true, badassery! But man, I can only imagine how long it must have taken to render that sucker….
Oh sh*t that's funny!!!
So if we think this looks like a badass movie we should all go die in the war because we are idiots? Is that what you're saying here? You're telling me that I don't DESERVE freedom for the 14 years I spent fighting for your right to be an asshole?? Did I read that right?
Nobody likes a troll Randy.
That is really funny, like the new word that you coined.
There is a whole lot of stuff there already, but what the heck.
Sounds like lil randy has a bad case of raging class envy, compounded by run-of-the-mill Jew-hate. Why do all the leftists sound alike? Same old drivel. Over and over again. Of course, being a "truther" (lol) doesn't help his already-precarious state of mind, either.
Wise move on randy's part, too. Letting better men and women than he fight for America while he enjoys the rights paid for in their blood; and he sits back and laughs at those who keep him free. Real class. Real manly.
You have to admit, the Jewish people are doing something right if they can get every irrational biggot from the Nazi Party, the Black Panthers, The Klan and the far Left to hate them. If you can get THAT many scumbags to hate you, your ahead of the game.
Sly knows what the viewing public wants – and he gives it to them. He may be a liberal, but he also knows what puts butts in seats and fattens the paycheck.
His politics are his own, and he doesn't try to shove them down anybody's throat. Good on'im.
If the trailer is any indication, the artwork may be the best thing about the movie.
My grandfather was a Catholic man from Pennsylvania, a first generation Polish man born in the U.S. He left home as a teen and never looked back, and made his life in the mill/cloth/carpet milling business.
He would take my Dad along on some of his business calls to the Chicago area and had dealings with a many, many Jewish businessmen. My dad told me that he didn't like them, nor did he hate them – he respected them as business people and he knew if he made a deal with those old men, that their word was as good as a contract.
He respected them and they respected him. We don't have to love the Jews, but we should repsect them.
Everyday that they fight off Islam and survive to see the dawn – I respect them.
Plot writeup at Wikipedia reminds me of The Wild Geese (1978). (Now THERE was a mercenary movie.)
I'm thinking it will be carefully crafted and introspective, a "tour de force". Chesse clothed lenses and misty, water color memories.
I assume that it will have a Kafkaesque pique and elements of Fellini – with a touch of Kurasawa…
….and a boat load of DEAD TERRORISTS!!!!
Don't take your wives or girlfriends to this movie. There's so much manly testosterone on the screen that they'll be spontaneously impregnated.
Who is fighting for America? I see America being abandoned. They aren't even stopping an invasion from Mexico – don't come here and sell crazy.
You fought against the Federal Government? If so, I would regard what you have done fighting for freedom because Federal, State and local government is the biggest threat to any American's freedom.
My dad told me that he didn't like them, nor did he hate them – he respected them as business people and he knew if he made a deal with those old men, that their word was as good as a contract.
More trustworthy than whom, exactly? Their religious book, the Talmud, teaches it is ok to kill or cheat gentiles.
Everyday that they fight off Islam and survive to see the dawn – I respect them.
Israel is the best recruiting tool for Islam that ever existed. Zionist loons have a death-vision and are determined to start WWIII. They are a cult.
Actually it doesn't make any sense. Israel's only major gain has been the elimination of Saddam Hussein, a dictator who repeatedly tried to goad Israel into the Gulf War by firing scuds at the country. Israel, heroically withstood the assault, knowing its entry into the war would jeopardize the Coalition's wartime alliance with Saudi Arabia and endanger the whole war.
The above quote sounds like common sense from an Israeli bigshot. 9/11 woke up Americans to the threat from Islamic terror, and thus made America a new full-time partner in the fight against terror.
Israel did not perpetrate 9/11. There is not a shred of evidence, not a single reliable witness nor even the foggiest hint of smoke over that conspiracy theory. It exists solely because of both Jihadis and your own preoccupation with Jews.
Every time a member of my family goes to Israel, they are greeted with warmth and kindness. It is a beautiful, diverse country. There are Ethiopian Jews, European Jews, Iranian Jews, Iraqi Jews, Black American Jews, Druze, Christians, Palestinian Arabs (voting citizens, by the way) and even Assyrians. They've done so much, built such a vibrant country in a little more than a half century. If any country in the Middle East should be protected, it is Israel, a bastion of Western democracy and freedom in a land of darkness.
Well said, Jamesb. Their lot has been terrible throughout history. They were a people without a home for almost 2,000 years. When they would go to Europe they would be put in Ghettos. When they would go the Middle East, they were forced to live as second class citizens, required to wear the Middle-Ages version of the Nazi Jewish armband wherever they go and pay their Muslim overlords.
Neither Christian or Muslim has treated the Jews with any respect. Now that they have the home they lost to the Romans back, and have fought righteous wars to protect it, we should at least respect their tenacity.
yawn. Keep ignoring all the truth that doesn't mesh with you're kooky narrative.
Absolutely love they way they kick Muslim/Arab ass everytime the forces of Islam attack them.
It warms my heart.
sell crazy? You specialize in selling crazy.
exactly.
Oh, by the way, “Randy dropped off this little gift for everyone… his bbc interview.

They kind of remind me of the Spartans, in that with just a small army they can so totally outclass their opponents. I hope I get the chance to visit Israel again if I can earn my dream of becoming a Marine, and train with some of the IDF boys. That and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. I would like to see Japan go nuclear and muscle-up again so we can have more leverage over China.
I saw that the other night. Every member of Congress and every America should watch that and let the truths soak in, then see what domestically based terror groups like CAIR and ACLU are up too. Subjugation, the total Islamifiction of our country. Thank God for Amendment #2.
Ya, good comparison. Pursue the Marine Corps dream, that's great. I have massive repect for all Marines.
Japan is limited by their Constitution to being purely a defensive force with very limited rolls for it's military, but if North Korea keeps up their crap, with the Red Chinese complicity, they may step up and take a stronger stand. I'd support them 100%.
OMG! Cheeseburger Eddy is in it!!!!!

"More trustworthy than whom, exactly? Their religious book, the Talmud, teaches it is ok to kill or cheat gentiles. "
No it doesn't. The exact verse you're referring to was written during the era of Hadrian's persecution of Jews and the Bar Kokhba Revolt, when Jews were in a state of war with gentiles. The passage has always been interpreted as a wartime call to Jews to destroy their enemies, as Jews (particularly those rebelling against the Roman empire) were constantly outnumbered and ill-equipped, and nothing except total destruction of the enemy would suffice.
Actually read the entirety of the Talmud, and not the forgeries and proven fallacious material such as Pranaitis's book, before you pass such judgment.
The vast majority of Jews I've met have been honest and forthright in their dealings with me.
That is the best poster ever.
I have to buy that!
Be glad that we have Freedom of Speech, otherwise some of the twaddle you and Obombus spout would be tantamount to treason.
For marching on DC and throwing the bums out?
It looks like the perfect Stallone movie.
And maybe a machete or two just to round out the badassery.
.
Finally!
After all these years, Stallone's finally got his movie!
A decade ago, Willis and Schwarzenegger were supposed to star in it.
To be honest, I've been dying to see this movie since Stallone first talked about this dream movie of his a long time ago. August can't get here soon enough!
Oh, you just made my day!!
And it's only 0651 here in Flyover Country!
Or instantly comparing the masculinity of our friends and boyfriends and husbands.
The best review on a work of art (actually-a movie poster, done by a team of commercial artists and movie execs-but yes, technically-art) Big Hollywood has bestowed. Finally, I know what this crowd wants-adolescent, tattoo parlor, wanna be bikers art. I'll get right on it-not!
My thoughts exactly, Mamba! Good for him! I hope it's a success!
That is a win filled image! I can't WAIT for this film. The testosterone level will be so high, thirteen year old boys who watch it will leave the theatre with chest hair.
Favorite exchange (paraphrase):
Rambo: "Are you bringing any guns?"
Aid Worker: "Of Course not!"
Rambo: "You're not changing anything"
Kinda looks like my gun locker, if it exploded.
So much testosterone will be in the air, men will start getting pregnant!
"Dogs of War' was one of my favorites. It inspired me to get in the business.
Is there any way Stallone can digitally re-insert footage of Charles Bronson into this film? Then it will officially have the baaaaadest-ass cast of all time.
Still needs one more badass to make it complete – Chuck Norris.
If Chuck Norris was in this movie, we wouldn't need the other guys. On a side note, I was kind of disappointed BH didn't have a birthday thread for Chuck.
You should credit the design shop that did this great piece of art? Someone actually thinks up and then ILLUSTRATES! these things. They don't appear out of the air, not ones that are this kick*ss.
This is a Hong Kong Triad-Style action flick Writ Large, much like hardboiled. There will be ham and cheese and Michael Bay level Explosions and a bunch of action stars having fun. What's not to like?
The artwork needs some T & A somewhere; after all what do we fight for?
ROTFLMAO…!!
You can NEVER have enough guns…!!!
Even if you have enough guns, you don't have enough guns…
Its a naturally-occurring oxymoron…
I'm not quite sure what this is about, but I'll put $20 on Jet Li for the win in the 4th round.
Nah…this one works JUST FINE AS IS…
I wonder if I can get my wife to get this…even temporarily…
Oh, is she in "trouble" when she gets home today…
Woof, woof,whuuuufffff!!!!
A trip to the Target t-shirt department would've told you what the current design tropes were! ;-D
A movie where the good guys thump the bad guys WITHOUT all that emo metrosexual angst…??
AND the "bad guys" are the REAL bad guys….?????
I hope the thing makes a bazillion dollars, inspires merchandising from toys to firearms, and embarrasses everyone in Hollyweird who keeps shoving "Green Zone" shite off on us….
Ooohhhhh…!!
Damn, that would be PERFECT…!!!
Thinking about that would induce shrinkage…
ROTFLMAO!!!!
"Green Zone" is still playing…have a good time in the theater all by yourself…
He's still mad from when everyone moved on from mauve and turquoise…all those wooden silhouettes of coyotes with neckerchiefs tied around them he has to sell off…
Guns…
Can you picture that painted on the side of AF1…………all BIG and BOLD.
I was going to say…………..
"Yeah, and when they (13 yo boys) got home from the movie theatre…..their girlfriends were pregnant.
Yes, but if Chuck was in it………………..all those girls would have to sit this one out…………………
after all what do we fight for?
For YOUR RIGHT!!!!………………………………………….tooo parrrtttttyyyyy!!!!!!!
