Thumbs up for these gangsters

Someone once said that no matter how the "Expendables" series is shot, there will be a state of polarized word of mouth: people who love action movies will miss the golden age of fighting when the special effects are not yet developed and the iron-blooded pure men save the world because of the hard kung fu of real people, because In the film, the firepower of the long guns and short guns is unstoppable and the adrenaline is soaring; the audience who has no sense of fighting can not bear the unchanging empty plot that has no story to tell, and summarizes this kind of film as "bang, bang, clap clap clap...". And I just belong to the former. I am willing to pay for the feelings that the Expendables series sells. I like this lively energy. I want to give a thumbs up to these old angry youths.

Looking back on the real action scenes and weapons and equipment of the first two "Expendables", the series has always been the focus of the series. "The Expendables 3" naturally inherits the fine tradition. The only female member this time is a professional judo and mobilization. It is said that the military consultant of the crew is equipped with different weapons and equipment according to the height and body shape of each actor, such as MP5, SG550, G36K, etc. This is a rare live demonstration for military fans. The filming location of the film also chose Bulgaria, which has a variety of landforms, which further highlighted the dangers of the team members performing their tasks, and greatly enhanced the excitement of the movie fans.

"The Expendables 3" has 16 main players, and the cast lineup is enough to go down in history. Among the newcomers, Harrison Ford plays Max, a behind-the-scenes expert who has been reunited for a long time, and is more of a "civilian" mission on a helicopter, while another new general, Antonio Banderas, is not only agile, He is also responsible for gags, and cooperates with Jet Li in a hot and cold double joke. The so-called Tao is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high. Under the assembly of Stallone's arms and new orders, Mel Gibson, who is famous for his personality, is the one to provoke the lead. In addition, the appearance of new members such as "Twilight Man" Kenan Lutz, and the high-tech tactical methods they show are also a major attraction of the film.

Stallone once jokingly said at the press conference of "The Expendables 3": Don't underestimate this group of old bones, we are just a bunch of children with arthritis. In the movie, it is indeed impossible for him, Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford to play children again, and flexible joints are their destination. With the addition of high-tech weapons and equipment and many new faces, "The Expendables 3" has lost the slightly old-fashioned packaging of the first two films, and the old rivers and lakes have stepped into a new era.
