Arnold In The Expendables + Schwarzrospective
Aint It Cool News is reporting that Arnold Schwarzenegger has joined the cast of The Expendables written and directed by Sly Stallone. A team-up of Sly and Arnie has been a wet dream of action fans since the early ’80s, and although it sounds like Arnold’s role will be a glorified cameo, it really doesn’t matter. Having these two powerhouses finally together in any capacity is worth the price of admission. And even if you don’t think THAT’S worth the price of admission, maybe the rest of the cast will entice you. Because it looks like this–
Sylvester “Sly” Stallone
Jet “Mummy 3″ Li
Dolph “Drago” Lundgren
Mickey “The Ram” Rourke
Jason “The Nerd Loves You” Statham
Forest “Ghost Dog” Whitaker
Randy “Whatever” Couture
Freakin’ Arnold.
Are you KIDDING ME?? That’s an unbelievable list of action stars, and I even read a part was offered to Van Damme, but he turned it down. Yeah, smart move Jean Claude. Wouldn’t want to tarnish your legacy.
To coincide with this monumentous announcement, I’m going to start a new feature on the site where I go back and take a look at all of Schwarzenegger’s movies, starting with Hercules in New York all the way up to T3. I’ve wanted to do it for a while, but the undertaking is massive and will likely take months to get through all his movies. Luckily, I own about half of them. I’ll provide detailed reviews/favorite moments/unintentional comedy of each movie as I rewatch them. And in the end, I’ll give the ultimate ranking of Arnold movies, from worst to first.
