On July 14, 2010, Hollywood.com in their The Things They Say in Hollywood posted the following:
The stunt co-ordinator said it was one of the few times he was frightened. When Randy pulls you in, it feels like you’re about to be crushed by an anaconda. We had to tell him to go easy on the stuntmen.” SYLVESTER STALLONE on wrangling ultimate fighter Randy Couture on the set of action film The Expendables.
Like many other SZoners, I’ve always hoped that someday Sly and Zack [Dawn of the Dead; 300; Watchmen] Snyder would get a chance to work together. UGO.com points out that they already did!
The photo above of Sly and Arnold Schwarzenegger is just one of a few posted on July 6, 2010 at Contact Music in a piece called: “Sylvester Stallone – Gory Scene Cut From The Expendables”. The article goes on to say that a scene showing a man being stabbed in the neck was cut from the version that will show in the UK but will remain in the version shown in the United States. The US version has been given an “R” rating.

Denis Leary, star of the FX series Rescue Me recently had some things to tell Entertainment Weekly about The Expendables and Sly:
I’m looking forward to seeing that (The Expendables).
I’m not surprised Sly didn’t ask me to be in it. [Leary appeared with Sylvester Stallone in the 1993 actioner Demolition Man.] I don’t think Sly would call me for something like that. I’m too skinny. You’ve got to have big muscled guys in those movies.
I give Stallone credit, man. That movie Copland — I know he decided to go back into the action franchises, but that guy’s got some good acting in him if he wants to do it.”
Sly was quoted in this article as saying…
“The ultimate ambition is to follow in Clint Eastwood’s footsteps and move on to directing films without me having to be in them.
“I’m on borrowed time and know my longevity will be predicated on being able to make that move.”
