From 2006, Rocky, who had faded his halo from the "Rocky 6", fought hard for his farewell performance. By 2007, Rambo with a beer belly in "First Blood 4" held the focus. Machine guns fought bloody battles with enemies. Stallone has been making various preparations for his curtain call. In the last Rocky film series, Rocky lost the last game but won the respect of more people. In the last Rambo series film, Rambo returns to his hometown to start a peaceful life. Rocky and Rambo have said goodbye, so how should Stallone say goodbye? So there is "The Expendables", Stallone's curtain call. In addition to showing all his skills in the film, Stallone also found a group of tough guys to participate in his farewell performance. Whether the movie "The Expendables" is good-looking or not, the luxury of this farewell performance is definitely unique.
Stallone is really old. Even if "The Expendables" really has a sequel, how many fans still bear the heart to watch an old man in his 60s still being beaten by a group of "bad guys" on the big screen. Maybe Stallone also realized this. One point, so in "The Expendables" he is no longer the lonely hero Rambo, he has a group of helpers around him. Although the muscles of that body still make people look straight up with goose bumps, they are obviously not as dazzling as they were when they were young. The already stiff face became more numb under the action of Botox, as he himself said: "I can't borrow time. . My age now, like Big Ben, is heading towards the last part of my life. "
Old arms and legs really can't move.
In "The Expendables", Stallone is still fierce, taking planes, drag racing, melee and other action scenes in person, but everyone can see that the "tough guy" is really old, when we look at Stallone on the big screen who is running hard In any case, he can’t be compared with the lightning fast Rambo in the tropical rainforest. That mighty muscle looks like a burden tied to Stallone’s body, making him unable to move freely. When talking about shooting In the scene of chasing the plane, Stallone said: "This is so tired, it feels like being sucked in by Hurricane Karitna." In January of this year, while filming a fight scene, Stallone broke his neck accidentally. , Let him almost die. Stallone, who survived the catastrophe, joked: "My neck is now a brand-new artificial neck. There are fragments and screws left after fractures." Not only that, Stallone's best hand-to-hand combat in previous movies is also in The Expendables. Zhong has become a tasteless guy. The tough guy who couldn't beat him in any way back then now has to rely on the help of his companions to escape from the enemy's pinch. I hope this is really Stallone’s last action movie. Watching the bad guys' fists hit an old man who is over sixty years old, the scene is really sad, let’s look at the rival Schwartz. Singh, people have long put their energy on the great cause of competing for the president of the United States.
The lone hero finally needs help
Stallone has been playing the role of a lonely hero, especially Rambo. Whether in the rain forests of Vietnam, the desert of Afghanistan or the Golden Triangle of Myanmar, he is fighting against an entire army alone. No matter how strong the opponent is, Rambo will Eliminate all the enemies by relying on your own strength, leaving no one behind. Heavy machine guns, sharp daggers, and a rock-hard body are his hallmarks. In "The Expendables", Stallone finally does not need to fight alone. He has a group of partners around him. Even his iconic stunts are evenly divided among several companions. The Christmas hand played by Jason Statham The unique skill of Throwing Knife is definitely not lost to Rambo of the year; the heavy weapons are all given to Caesar played by Terry Cruise; the "toll road" played by Randy Kudrow has undertaken most of the tasks of close hand-to-hand combat. In reality, Randy Kudrow is the world champion of the Mixed Martial Arts Championship. In this way, the "Rambo" in the movie has several clones, and the lone hero becomes a death squad. Barney Rose, played by Stallone, only needs to be responsible for the brain and emotional drama of "Rambo". This kind of role arrangement is on the one hand to gather more tough guys, and on the other hand, considering that after all, Stallone is very old, and it is a bit unreasonable to have one enemy and one hundred. In fact, there could have been more tough guys joining the "Expendables". It is said that Jackie Chan, Shang Gyunton, Steven Seagal, etc. have all received invitations, but they all did not make the trip due to poor roles. In other words, Stallone really couldn't find so many stunts for these people. This is also one of the biggest regrets of the film. In addition, it’s worth mentioning that Jet Li’s yin and yang in the film are mainly responsible for making fun. Maybe it’s too boring to always fight and kill. Several muscular men in the film take turns to make fun of Jet Li’s height, even him. I also ridicule my body shape from time to time. Even if it is the case, the Chinese audience still feels a little uncomfortable to see Asian Kung Fu superstars being teased in this way.
A large gathering of tough guys only speak but not hands
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone’s two tough rivals on the screen are one of the biggest selling points of the film, but unfortunately this rivalry only lasts for tens of seconds in the film, and it is even more regrettable that the two people There was no physical contact, just a few words of sarcasm like flirting with each other. But these few words will be destined to become a classic in film history. Of course, such a classic is indispensable for another screen tough guy Bruce Willis. The scene of the three people appearing together will surely become the last swan song for a generation of tough guys to withdraw from the stage of history.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Are you sick? Lost a lot.
Stallone: Yeah, I'm so thin on your body.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: You should really read more books.
Stallone: Thank you.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: It's just a fool to take this job.
Stallone: How much is it?
Arnold Schwarzenegger: See what I said, I'm very busy, let him leave this job to him. He likes to drill into the jungle.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Why don't we find a time for a meal?
Stallone: Okay.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Wait a thousand years later!
Bruce Willis: He's been a bit weird lately.
Stallone: He wants to be president.
The curtain call performance is not perfect.
If you only regard "The Expendables" as Stallone's farewell work, then this film will undoubtedly get a high score, but in terms of the quality of the film, "The Expendables" really can't be regarded as Stallone's best Film. As a self-directed and self-acted action movie by Stallone, "The Expendables" is a straight-forward tough guy movie, with a blunt plot, blunt performance, abrupt emotions, and stunted special effects. Killing is the only pleasure in this movie.
The plot is simple and rude, the scene is bloody and exciting
If you are a fan of Stallone, then you must be able to guess how the plot of this movie develops. Some netizens sum up the movie in one sentence, "Dare to kidnap the woman I like, and see how I blow you to the ground." Dangre's comment is too biased, but basically summarizes the basic plot of "The Expendables", Stallone The leader of the mercenary who played was received an extremely common task, and usually until all the audience thought that Stallone would effortlessly deal with the shrimp soldiers and crabs on the island. Stallone, who was investigating the enemy's situation on the island, ran into a beauty, and this beauty was the daughter of the general on the island, and the two had to be separated before they had time for a secret relationship. The film developed to a climax in calmness. Stallone led his brothers to the island. The enemy’s resistance was negligible. The enemy’s base was blown to the ground and the beauty’s father died. Under the gun, Stallone finally rescued the beauty, and the beauty did not feel a trace of sadness for the death of her father, but expressed her gratitude to Stallone, but the tough guy is the tough guy, and he left the money he seized to allow the beauty to rebuild his home. , And then boarded the plane without looking back. A wave of the sleeves does not take away the girl, this may be the best ending of a tough guy movie. The movie "The Expendables" basically inherited the essence of Stallone's movies, basically going straight, until it is killed, there is no turning and suspense, this movie is defined as R grade because the violence in the film is too direct and bloody. .
The tough guy who packs, the biggest player in soy sauce
Packing tough guys into a movie is an extremely clever idea, so this has become the biggest selling point of "The Expendables". The problem is that the biggest bowls, Arnold Swarzenegger and Bruce Willis, only appeared for 3 minutes. Although the effect is exciting, there is obviously a suspicion of making money with these people as a selling point, even if Swarzenegger and Bruce Willis A fight by Stallone can raise the film to a new level. Unfortunately, we can only see two tough guys teasing each other like women. Let’s talk about the other so-called tough guys. Apart from Jason Statham who is barely regarded as an "online" tough guy, the others are either sunset Xishan or unknown. The only Jet Li who is very popular in Asia has also been set up as "Yang San" character. On the selling point of tough guy packing, "The Expendables" has too much water. It is obviously to pool the number of people to set up the plot. Originally, a two-person play had to be performed by five people. As a result, no one was brilliant. The greatest achievement was nothing more than everyone was assigned. Rambo's skill is nothing more than one. According to Stallone's past filming methods, the lone hero is already a bit powerless, and this group drama is even more difficult to control. It is very regrettable that the good attention of tough guy packing is wasted in this way, but smart Hollywood producers will definitely learn their lessons. Maybe we will see "female beauty packing" and "comedy star packing" in the future. , "Sexy Old Man Packs" and other movies.
