Arnold & Sly: Shoulder to Shoulder

For years fans hoped to see Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger appear in a movie together.  The dream team-up finally occurred in The Expendables.  When it was announced that Arnold would be back in a bigger role for The Expendables 2, fans couldn’t believe their luck.

Speaking of luck, what are the odds that both Arnold and Sly would find themselves side by side in a hospital prep room with both going in for shoulder surgery?  Not to worry though, once they are healed both Arnold and Sly are set to team once again in The Tomb.

The Expendables 2: PG13 Rating

Craig / / 2012, Expendables 2

The big news this week, and boy, did it create a firestorm of controversy, is that The Expendables 2 is going to be rated PG-13.  The news broke when Chuck Norris was quoted as saying…

  • “In Expendables 2, there was a lot of vulgar dialogue in the screenplay. Fot this reason, many young people wouldn’t be able to watch this. But i don’t play in movies like this. Due to that i said i won’t be a part of that if the hardcore language is not ereased. Producers accepted my conditions and the movie will be classified in the category of PG-13.”

Many fans were outraged, feeling that The Expendables 2 needed the “R” rating.  Others were confident that sequel wouldn’t suffer with a PG13 classification, and in fact might even do better at the box office. 

Harry, at AICN, got this response from Sly in regard to the PG13 rating…

  • Harry, the film is fantastic with Van Damme turning in an inspired performance… Our final battle is one for the ages. The PG13 rumor is true, but before your readers pass judgement,  trust me when I say this film is LARGE in every way and  delivers on every level. This movie touches on many emotions which we want to share with the broadest audience possible, BUT, fear not, this Barbeque of Grand scale Ass Bashing will not leave anyone hungry…Sly

After getting that response from Sly, Harry  posted

  • You know – if the film is PG13 – and a better film that the last one, I’m alright with it.   It isn’t like the last film was pushing the R-rating.

As for me, the PG13 rating doesn’t concern me in the least.  I want a great action-packed movie and I’m sure that’s what we’re going to get.

Yeah, 2012, should be a great year!

Sly Confirms: EX2 Poster Unofficial

Hey SZoners, I just received the following e-mail from Sly:

+++

The poster that everyone is seeing on line is completely unofficial and bogus. The official poster is far from being completed so unfortunately people like to pull pranks. Please everyone spread the word that the real poster won’t be out for several months.

Best,

Sly
