You give me the right answer and I'll catch the break. If you give me the wrong answer, you will die a damn slow death. Do you understand me? Do you understand me? Who sent you? Please. Loosen up. Who's sitting you?

Your hairdress, sir. Oops, sorry, everyone, I have my microphone off. Oh, man, sorry, man. It's allergy season here in California. and it's jacking me up. Oh, it's fine all day, but this,

this week, oh, man, just the dust and everything and the weather's changing. It was like 100 degrees. Now it's like 50. Oh,

man. Are you guys still warmer cooling down up there? It's about in the 50s. It's, uh, shit, it's been raining for like,

it feels like a month, past month. I wish, man. had some rain for a while, but then it just kind of just dried up. And it's been teasing me, because I look up in the sky, and it's all dark, and then

the wind shifts and blows it all away. But you can have some of ours. Oh, man. I don't, I don't, we're getting colder now, and I don't, I don't like the rainy season of bleed into the snowy season, because that's, that's dangerous outside.

Yeah, it is. I hate that. I mean, I rather just have a snow than turn to ice. All right, everyone. Let them know what we're finally here for. We are finally here for the 2010 action adventure, I guess. The expendables.

What's my oldest, worst friend doing here? Both your names came to the top of the list. Only an idiot would do this job. How much? Oh, like I said. A team of legendary warriors. So, we are working for the agency on a mission.

I draw with this picture. Everything. They weren't expected to survive. Great, they got a small arm. What do we got? Four and a half men. Not so funny. It's not easy being your friend.

What happened to you? Got my ass kicked. Let's see what you got. Hey! Get out there. Why am I? You're smaller. Are you crazy?

Gonna kill me! You're welcome. My turn! Call that a tie. Come on. Keep dream. The expendable. All right.

let's see if I remember how to do this Google damn Google a group of mercenaries is double crossed during a mission and are approached by church to overthrow the ruthless dictator of a South American country

it isn't long before the men realize things aren't quite as they appear finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of betrayal although their mission is comprised of an innocent of an innocent is in dangerous soldier of fortune

Barney and his comrades decide to get the job done tell the whole damn movie all right there we go RMDB CIA operative hires a team of mercenaries to eliminate a Latin dictator and a renegade

CIA agent this of course was directed by Sylvester Stallone and stars Sylvester Stallone Jason Statham Jet Lee Dolph London

Eric Roberts Randy Couture Stone Cold Steve Austin David Zaz Giselle Edie charisma Carpenter Gary Daniels Terry Cruz

Mickey Rourke and a bunch of other random people Nez when was the first time you've seen the expendables I saw this that weekend it came out I remember

Same here I remember a A leak trailer got out Before the official one was out I don't know some Film Festival somewhere And somebody recorded it with their phone And then that video went everywhere

You could look up Try to look it up at that at that time And there was nothing And it was nothing and it took a while for an actual trailer to come out I believe the trailer dropped the official one I think this was geez 10 years ago over 10 years ago

um at comic con San Diego and uh this is the the years that I was going like every year and I know when I saw that this was the panel I can't remember what day it was on in Hall H. I was like, I got to be in there. I got to see all my heroes that I grew up with. Well, most of them on the big screen in the ring. And

I was a fan of Jet League by this time. But he wasn't there. So and the guy that runs, I think ain't it cool news. So the Harry Knowles, I think that's his name. He was the moderator of the thing. And then he brought everyone out brought out Terry Cruz he came out flexing tore his shirt off and then

he brought out Stone Cold he came out and everybody everyone started going hell yeah and screaming I wish they would no I wish his music would have hit if his music would it hit oh man I mean we were all hooting and hollering anyway when he came out but oh man

they dropped the ball on that they should have hit his music and that place would have erupted but then who oh, Dolph Lungering came out and everybody was hooting and hollering and he even, Harry was like,

yeah, the original Punisher. And I was like, yeah. I think I screamed the loudest when he came out. And then Randy Gator came out. And then they,

he brought out Sylvester Stallone. And as a child watching Sylvester Stallone in his film, and everything and then all through the 80s, 70s, 80s and his 90s stuff and then he kind of disappeared for a while

and then he came back with this big action film. But when he came out, everyone was hooting and hollering and then the Rocky chance started. And I didn't think I would ever in my lifetime be able to chant Rocky. Because we see all the movies

and you're juiced up when you hear it when you're watching Rocky, especially when we saw him in the theater. But to actually cheer and shout, Rocky, Rocky, as he's up there just air, airbox. And I was like, I was ready to cry.

But it was awesome. And then they talk about the movie. Then they show us the trailer. Then they show us a clip from the film. And if you've been to San Diego Comic Con and Hall H, those speakers in their rumble. It's so loud. The bass is

hitting and everything. So all those explosions and the gunshots and everything with the stuff that they showed us was awesome so I was like oh man I can't wait for this I believe this was a Lionsgate film and at the booth

they were given out the tattoos that skull skull tattoo with the raven or whatever it is a crow I think it was a raven on top of it they were giving those out I think I have some still somewhere amongst all my junk but they were given out

bandanas, expendables bandanas. And I got, I think I got those like a day or two before I went to the panel. So I was like, hell yeah. So I think I got like a few of those. I don't know whether somewhere in here. But when the movie finally came out, I was juiced. I mean, just to go see it. And I try not to get too juiced because there's times that they've showed stuff at Comic Con.

And you go, oh, that's going to be awesome. And then you go see it. man, that was whack. So, but to have this big... Cowboys and aliens. That's, I mean, the movie it is what it is, but that one is, is kind of rough for me personally to watch. Speaking of Comic Con, a buddy of mine, I worked with,

we went every year. He was diagnosed with cancer, and we got to go to the premiere of Cowboys and Aliens. And that was the very last Comic Con he went to. So, when the movie came out, I did go see it in the theater, but like now, I still, I have it,

and it's wrapped up still in my Blu-Rays. I tried to watch it one time, and it was on at work, and I couldn't even sit there. I just too much emotions. So, but yeah, but they've duped us before with movies.

So, we was like, all right, I said, I'm probably going to love it anyway because I like all these crazy nonstop action films. And then when I saw it, I left the theater like, man, that was hell of good. And I wanted more. And it wasn't, it wasn't very long. I mean, I like these, I like short films, but when they're action-packed and you're excited because the cast is awesome, you want to at least go at least two hours. Because some of these movies, some of these comedy movies are over two hours, almost three hours.

I'm like, really? need to be that long but all right but in the end the movie was awesome i loved it uh we got three more after it we got the fourth one just came out so but oh man i love this film what did you think the first time you saw it i also saw this opening weekend and i had a blast with it it just it's just very nostalgic just all your old favorites you know stalone um mixed in with some of your new favorites like Jason Statham, you know, I was, I was big into the transporter movies when, when, I don't know how many it came out by this point, but I was a big fan of Jason Statham's and, of course, Jet Lee, all his films, uh, Randy Couture,

everybody knows I'm a big MMA fan, so it was cool to see him starting doing movies. And of course, you know, having Stone Cold in there as a villain, because I, I always think he plays a better villain than he does a good guy. We've done, um, what was that movie he did? The condemned? Yeah, have we done that yet?

No, not yet. I love that movie. Not so much the second one, but there's the second one? Yeah, I think it was, uh,

I was thinking of that, that other one, uh, that one, John Cena did the next one was Randy Orton Oh, Marine? Yeah

Condemned All right There was a second one I remember that I can't remember exactly Oh, uh Randy Orton He was in the second one

You gotta make me watch this movie now I never seen the second one But I saw it was the first one It was a shout out to all the wrestlers That got released in the past couple days. I don't know what's happening, but I'm happy Knight Jacks is back.

Yeah, we get Nyad Jacks back, but we lose Matt Riddle, Dahl Fisgler, a whole bunch of other people. Dolf Ziegler was the shock. I'm like, how are you going to cut loose the show off? I mean, they kind of just

backdoor them for a while because he, he he hasn't been on TV or anything that I when I ever see it I mean yeah he's popped up at live shows I've been to and every time his music hit I yeah because I haven't seen him in forever yeah I always I always felt like Dolsiger was gonna be one of those guys that retired a WWE guy yeah um I guess he goes to AEW I mean I'd be all right with it but I don't know I would Shocked the night Jackson Because she had said that she was done.

Wasn't... Oh, God. Why she do real like that? I don't know, man. I thought... That was a reckless move. Because you could kind of see she let go of the ropes when she came down. Yeah.

And then she paintbrushed her a few times, like slapped her, like, bha, bah, bah, bah, bah. And, like, stepped on her. As she was stepping up onto the, onto the, uh, the ropes. I mean, on your back. All right. Your upper back. Yeah, but she, no, she came right down on her chest. Yeah, because the next week, she was a little easier on Shana. Gave her the same thing, but didn't completely drop on her chest and then gave her like one little, little minor little slap to the face. Now is reckless, everyone. You guys remember when she clocked and broke Becky Lidge's nose.

Made her a star. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see what happens. But I love Nyjacks, don't get me wrong, but they, she, Mommy better not lose the belt to her. I'll be hell of mad. So I don't know.

We'll see. What's the next one coming? Fast lane. Is there one in Australia? I'm never seeing, I think next year Bied Marcy posted something about it I think next year's

Elimination Chamber I think It's just a build up for When WrestleMania is down there I see that coming in the future But enough wrestling everyone Yeah yeah

Yeah, I get mad But yeah we left out Bruno Bruce Willis and Arnold Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna bring them up

when we got to their scene Because they're in the I remember hearing When I first hearing about them Being in a movie And then when it got to that I was just like, that's it Yeah, I was disappointed

It was so much I mean Arnold I think he was At the end of his governor thing Because I know he started Popping up in things Yeah He popped up in the rundown he just like walked by

oh when he said good luck yeah and then he had some role here he had an actual longer scene in this one which i was i was hyped because when he came out i was yeah i mean it was it was funny because bruce willis is like what's what's wrong with him and then still i was like he wants to be president

i was like i see what you got did there. I mean, he does. I mean, but he can't be. He wasn't born in America. So, but. Well, demolition man, he became president. Yeah, they had the president or the Schwarzenegger presidential library. Oh, man. But, yeah, this one

was cool. I mean, I liked what was going on. It was kind of just straight to the point. There wasn't a lot of, oh, like really seriousness that you really need to think about on who these guys were, because they were all just a bunch of basically just an elite group of mercenaries is what

Wikipedia calls it. I was about to say, where was this? I thought it was like Florida or something, but it was in New Orleans. But yeah, it's all of them. What the hell were their names? Stollum was... Go ahead.

We got Barney Ross was Stallone. Jason Statham was Lee Christmas. Jet Lee was Yinyang. Dolan was Gunner Jensen. Randy Cotour was Toll Road. And Terry Cruz was Hail Caesar. And Mickey Rourke was Tool.

I wish Mickey Rourke was in it. I mean, in it more. Because we find out later that he was a part. of the team but some stuff that he had seen that that was a good that was a good scene he threw some acting into this movie that was a sad scene oh we i'm all juice for action then i get all said i mean i love micky roark i mean again to each his own if you do that to your to your face and everything but he he didn't he didn't to my opinion do you believe it was because of the boxing uh i don't or you think he was just trying to that's what i read that he said it was because of the boxing uh i don't know i thought

he started doing that to his face before the box yeah that's what i was like but you started already doing this to your face i mean he looks better than me i mean regardless and i love micky He's awesome. Wrestlers, one of my favorite films and all the older things that he had done. But, but this, I mean, at the end, they're a team. And because in the first scene, I'm glad they did subtitles because I could not understand that gentleman. They were, they were going up against some, uh, some, um, some lions. Yeah.

And when that guy, his accent was thick. And I was like, whoa, wait, what? What are you saying? It was still cool. I was glad that they at least included subtitles for all of them. They knew what was out.

They probably, when they heard them talking, they were like, we're going to have those subtitles on. But yeah, they were there, and they were, their mission was to go in and rescue these, these postages.

I guess they're on a big boat or something. And then they come in, they come in contact with him because they're getting ready to chop their heads off. So then the expendables step in. But what was Dolph's name Gunner? Yeah. He is the hothead of the group. Yeah, you can tell he's probably been doing this a little too long.

Yeah, I mean, I love the special effects they did with this. A lot of CGI blood. a lot of CGI fire and the thing that I didn't like the most out of all of these films is when they speed up the fight scenes Yeah

Because there's a there's a scene when Jet Lee's fighting when he's fighting Dolf Lundgren and when he's fighting those dudes at the end You don't need to speed him up If anything slow him down Because Jet Lee is fast But I don't know

I guess they were pressed for time or something. Well, I know, I know, wasn't this, this was right after Stallone did the Rambo, right? Yeah. And I think that's what got him back. Yeah, that was a lot of CGI in that one. I mean, as much as I think that movie's awesome and I love it, there was a lot of CGI in that movie. Yeah, that was my second favorite out of all of them, being first blood, being the first. first my first one favorite i thought you're going to say ramble three was your favorite

did we we only did the first one uh on the main show we we did the first one and the the new one which one oh wait i think i think we did uh uh uh i think we did the first one uh christmas episode didn't we do that as a christmas episode i think i know we did the first one or was that I don't see everyone. I don't know. We say this all the time. We've done so much. I don't even remember that this shit.

We did. Lance said he's supposed to make a spreadsheet in all the movies because we've been having this problem lately. I know. Yeah, it was a part of the Christmas. I think it was the random days of Christmas. Yeah. So I think you and me talked about first blood twice. Yeah.

and then on the think when we were doing action movies on the horror returns before we started the action returns we did first blood because yeah and in the scene in the beginning gunner is the one that starts shooting and when he shoots that first

guy uh clearly CGI because he just blows him apart with whatever kind of gun he had but it looked awesome though yeah it did It looked atle.

They looked cool. It just blew them apart and blew them to the wall. And then once that happened, everyone just, ah, I just started to shoot every direction. The pirates did. And then Stallone and the gang just opened fire and just lit up everybody. Saved the hostages. But Gunner, he was just the hothead.

And we find out that he is a driver. drug a drug addict, heroin of them. So, because he got into it, he was about to, well, he was gonna,

I can't remember what he was going to do, but gently he got into it with him. He was going to hang a pirate. Oh, that's right. He was getting ready to kill him. But then Stallone stepped in and canceled him.

But then he was like, you really, no, that's the shit. I'm jumping ahead because he went, you're really going to have to kill him. No, it wasn't. I was just trying to scare him. That was the next fight.

But they had to, after they rescued everyone, they had to fly home. And he was all just, they hang, I think they tied his wrists or something like that. Yeah. But,

I mean, the first time seeing them all on the screen, I mean, I love Ted Cruz, but he's, he's not, he didn't grow up, with him

with as much as Stallone and Dolph Lundgren and all that happened but I think yeah like I said Dolph Lundgren was the one that I was really really hyped up the most to see because at this point man we hadn't seen them

together on the screen in a long time so that's what I really loved I really I'm a knife guy I mean I have a few knives but I don't have these big swords that these guys have because that one knife

that Dolph Lundgren was carrying was badass Oh, that mini sword? Yeah. That was sweet. Because that scene when after Jason Statham Lee Christmas cuts him loose and he's giving him back his

knife and he's like, no, you keep it, you appreciate a good blade. And I'm looking at it like that's like the size of Jason Statham's arm. I think it was hella big. I mean, that's like, I mean, we've talked, I think we, yeah, we mentioned this before on the, the Rambo shows. We were talking about his knives that he had in those. I still want one.

They do sell those replicas, but. So, yeah, after they, they completed the mission and saved everyone, the whole gang made it out alive. And this is when we kind of see who's who and everything. Yeah, this is when we find out that Dolmgren is. is a or gunner what the hell is his name? Yeah, Gunner Gunner Jensen

I almost said Gunner Hanson Rest in peace Leatherface Yeah Speaking of that man Man they're killing me With these 4K releases And different steel books

I can't do it I mean if If the steel book art Is something that just catches my eye Then maybe But I just, I don't like this drop a special edition and then a year later drop a 4K special edition. That's a green factory, man.

That's how they get me. Because I had the, um, the fog. They, that steel book came out a while ago. Then they dropped out another one. I was like, uh, even my wife was like, don't you have this one? I said, I don't have this cover art though. She just broke, right? Yeah, you physical media collectors, don't get it.

Because I was, I was, like, organizing my collection, and the wife had seen, I had, like, three, I forgot what movie it was. There was, like, three or four copies, and I was like, but the cover's all different. Yeah, well, Renee, she looks at everything and just, like, what are you going to do with all these? So, don't worry about it. So, but, oh, man. Oh, sorry, everyone. I did the mic, mute my mic. Anyway, so the gang gets back to New Orleans,

and everyone kind of goes off on their own ways. We see that Christmas, Jesus Statham, has a girlfriend. He goes to her house, and she's already shacked up with someone else, and she basically tells them, I don't know what you do for a living, and you come and go.

I think he was gone for, like, three months, and didn't say anything, just took off. Well, his line of work, he can't just, I guess he could have just made up something, but. Yeah, I mean, I get, you can't tell her what you do, but just can't just leave for three months and then show up with some champagne. He expected to get some. I don't know who this dude was. He was an asshole. Who's that?

Who's this? Who is he? Oh, you knew he was getting his ass kick later. Oh, yeah. I thought he was going to beat his ass right then I don't even know who that guy It's just some random guy in the movie He's probably a stunt guy

So yeah so he's ah he's all mad And then we get Mickey Roark he comes onto the screen Just looking badass in his cowboy hat And This is when we find out that he was a part of the team But just kind of at this point we don't know He just kind of bowed out

And he's doing this thing And he's a tattoo artist smoking his big um Bilbo Baggins Pipe and I don't know that just made him look cool yeah it did it made me want to get one and bring it in random chicks

that they don't even remember their names yeah it wasn't be like painting a guitar for her yeah and then she she left me so I'm probably gonna finish painting it and then it smash it well all these tattoos on Stallone real?

I don't think all of them, but I think he's pretty tatted up in real life. Okay, I know the expendables one. Yeah, obviously not, but the ones all over his shoulders and everything? I mean, I don't know. I think I remember

from that one he did with Mamoa. Bullet to the head? Yeah, I think he was kind of tatted up in that movie, and I think those were his tattoos. I might have to do that one. I think the last time I watched it was when it came out in the theater.

I just remember the act scene. I didn't even think I... Well, I knew who Jason Mamoa was only because of when I saw it. I said, oh, that's a guy from Johnson's family vacation. But at that point, I didn't know he was... Now he's jumping in your videos now. I know. Now he's bumping me and not saying excuse me.

He's lucky he's tall to me. And we were in public. And things would have been different. if we were in private but anyway so yeah and then Christmas comes over and he's all sad because his girlfriend's

banging some other dude and then Mickey Roark what the hell is Mickey Roark's character? Tool he challenges him to Christmas to a not a duel see who could throw their knives or blades

or whatever better into the into the dartboard So Oh, yeah, it's just them bullshit. And then this is when we go to The island of, where was it?

The island of someplace made up. I don't think it's a real country. It says, Valena is an island in the Gulf of Mexico. I don't know if it's real or not. But, t.J is Mexico is as far as I've gone to

and that was wild but yes what was this guy's name in uh dexter he was one of the detectives yeah um I'm gonna look at it real Sergeant Angel Batista

yeah all right did you ever finish or did you start new blood or bad blood or bad blood or whatever that last I haven't even finished the first season to text her. Oh, you haven't? Oh, man, I ran through that whole series.

I mean, I started it and I'm enjoying it, but I just, I don't know what it is. I just, there's too many shows. Like, I just start too many, and then I don't know which ones to finish. I just rewatched all of, the whole series of Breaking Bad.

I know I just finished speaking of Stallone. I just finished what fuck is this show Colsa King? Yeah Oh man So good

Loved it He is so believable As just this old Old school gangsters It was hell of good It was awesome Yeah And I think I talked about it

On the main show So I'm not gonna talk Too much about it But I just love how they did I thought they were gonna play The whole Every episode He just doesn't know

Technology Or how things run but they they he got through that pretty quick so i'm kind of glad they moved past that showing that he's able to adapt and i don't know i just i just loved it and i'm looking forward to season two i just liked how he didn't know uh weed was legal took over that he just rolled in there took over that weed shop that's how it's how you do that's why they sent him to Tulsa Anyway, yeah, so we go to the aisle of Alina where the dictator, General Garza, is running the show, basically turned his army into just a killer army.

I mean, it's one of those places where they kind of just take over and they just terrorize all the local villages or whatever around there. I mean, because a friend of mine told me a story and not, but when he was in, he's from El Salvador on how when they be, when he was growing up, they would just be in the little village and the army would come in and just

basically kidnap all the boys, the kids, just to make them soldiers. And if you didn't go, they, they would kill you. Because he said, yeah, we'd be playing, then someone would yell, and then everyone would just go run and hide.

I mean, I'd seen those in movies and everything, but then when he was telling me that story, I was like, oh, my God. I mean, that's kind of how this guy is. He's got his old little army thing, but we find out he's basically just a puppet for the evil American.

What the hell is the... James Monroe. Yeah, him. Eric Robert. stone cold is a pine or pain I think it was pain and then the other guy

Gary Daniels he's just called the Brit that was the other guy and the dude that was just there because yeah they were they had some hostages I guess they weren't going along with the plan so they

the general was trying to scare them but Eric Roberts wasn't playing. Then they ended up just killing those guys. So, but then we get the awesome scene of church, Bruce Willis, and he's standing there hanging out in the church with Stallone. What's his name? Barney. Barney, they're hanging out there with them.

And then they go, all right, well, he goes, like well I'm waiting church is like well I'm waiting for someone and then like who and then the door opens and in walks Arnold yeah Trent Trench Mouser

that's a made up action movie movie name right there I mean again when I first saw this when he came walking in I was like oh man I was I was I was hyped because I thought he was going to be in it more no this is

all we got. I was like but it it was enough man to see these three action legends on the screen in a scene. Didn't know we were going to get expendables too when it got hell of awesome

because Bruce Willis and Arnold killed it in that one but so yeah church is the guy he just needs some men to go and take out the general general garza down in velina they want him to go down there and just basically

just assassinate him because uh he's not playing along with them but uh what was arnold's name i'm sorry monroe he's like ah he tells him because i can't i can't do it why don't you just uh give it to him yeah he he likes to play in the jungle so let him have it I'm not watching this right now. And of course, man, these guys are no spring chickens, but they had their day in the sun. But it's just still awesome and puts a smile on my face. Of course, with their dyed hair,

because if you guys see them now, Arnard Stallone finally just said, F it and just lets his hair be gray. Arnold's still trying to hang on to the brown color. Bruce, he shaved his head. But what was the matter with him? Why did he retire from acting? He has something that leads to Alzheimer's.

Oh, man. So he called it quits. I kind of felt like that's why he was just taking whatever roles he was near the end of his acting career. Just kind of collecting checks. Yeah, because he was just doing the Nick Cage and just taking. anything that's coming down the line. Yeah, I think, I think he knew his acting time was coming to an end, so. Well, I mean, I hope he just is all right.

I don't want to, I don't, when that stuff happens, then you just, your brain goes and everything. But, yeah, I've seen Instagram posts, the, his family posts of him. He seems to be doing good and enjoying time with his family and his grandkids and stuff like that. and he seems to have an excellent relationship with what's her name is ex-wife. To me? Yeah, they seem to be like super good friends. She's still fine. What she like 60?

Yeah. She's hell, boy. So, yeah, after Monroe leaves, he, because he gives up the whole thing. Church is saying, look, we're going to give you guys $5 million to go. kill this guy. $5 million doesn't seem like much. I mean, it'd be different if it was just

one or two guys, hey, we'll give you guys $5 million, then you guys split it, but his whole team has split up $5 million to go down to some of the country and kill someone, but I don't know, it's a movie. But Church gets all hardcore with them. I was like, look,

because Barney was like, all right, we need half now. And then we need the other half in a offshore account somewhere. And he goes, all right, he agreed to it. But then he kind of get raw. Church is like, look, if you guys try to just basically, if you guys are going to run off of my money, my people are going to come after you and your people.

And you ain't going to like it. And he's just trying to be all rough and tough and try to scare him. But Martin's like, all right, don't worry about it. So he goes back to the garage. And Gunner, he shows up and he just looks rough. He's all drugged out and everything. And he's kind of just, hey, man, he got any more work for me? And he's like, no, man, I can't use you because you keep using.

And if you clean yourself up, maybe. But he's like, come on, man, you can trust me. I'm still good. But then he tries to get tough for them. But Barney ain't having it. So he kind of walks out. At this point, I was like, man, weak. I thought he was going to be right in there with him.

Because he comes back again, but I wanted him to be right there with them during the mission. I was kind of disappointed with his role, but he kicks ass on the next few movies. So, but so they're trying to still figure out what they're going to do. And then he, he tells the crew, everybody, I love this scene because of Jet Lee. he tells everyone what they need he tells them all what they're going

where they're going and what the mission is and Jet Lee what was his name Ying Yang Yeah he's like I need a raise

He's like why I just need more money for my family and then everyone's like what you got a family I like how he gets super deep into it

he's like I need more money I'm smaller than everybody. I should get more. It's harder for me to do things. You guys are all taller than me. He called him, oh, are we four and a half men?

Not very funny. But gently, man, he kicks ass and he's bad ass, but it's funny because his English isn't the greatest. He's coming a long way, because when he was at Comic-Con for, what was that last mummy? movie, not the Tom Cruz one. The last one. The

tomb. Yeah. He was the only one from what I remember. I want to say he was the only one. There might have been someone else I don't remember, but he was there for the panel. And I could not understand him at all.

So, but it was cool to see him. They're like, oh man, Jet Lee's right there. But, yeah, so anyway, so Barney's trying to he's breaking the crew down or breaking the mission down to telling everyone this is this is what we need to do and uh everybody's can get their equal share out of this five million dollars and then back and forth with the jokes and everything and then so he uh barney decides look i'm gonna church or not church um what was jason's day's name christmas lee lee christmas

there you go yeah i mean christmas are going to go down there and kind of do some some checking out and see what's going on what we're up to what we're up to what we've got to deal with like just terrain-wise and everything so they jump in the plane and fly down there but while they're flying down there mississippi queen for those you that know that song kicks in and that song just reminds me of stone cold in the um the longest yard the one with uh Adam said. What he says? That's how a white man dances.

He says so crazy shit. White man plays guitar. Yeah. Stoneco was awesome in that movie. Him and the boss. Did we do? Did we do Stone Cold that movie?

Yeah, yeah, we did. Okay. Oh, man. What's his name was good in it, too? Kevin Nash. That's right. You all day. They changed the steroids for estrogen or whatever.

There had all kinds of wrestlers in there. They even had the Great Collie and Terry Cruz. So they fly down there to Valena and they kind of just show up and they say they're some kind of nature people. They're trying to check out some stuff, take pictures. And because they fly down there and they dock up and then they have to go through their customs, I guess. And they kind of just tell them what they're doing there. And they're like, all right, cool, whatever. Dude, dude, you got to do.

So they start going around. But what they were going to do, they were going to meet up with someone down there that was going to help them show them around, like where the general's at, his headquarters or whatever. Yeah, it was like their little inside connection. So while they're down there, they, there's, there's, the military comes into town. this is when we see Eric Roberts No, he's Monroe I kept calling

Arnold's Mouser Okay Mouser Anyway so yeah They see him And then they see Pain or Pine or whatever Stone Cole's name is

And they start taking pictures of them So they know kind of who Who they're dealing with Because I haven't seen the general yet They just see these guys But they assume that there's somebody because of them being with all the little the army down there.

So then they kind of go into this little cafe and they end up meeting Sandra. Sandra. She was hot. Giselle 80 or 80? I don't know. I'll whatever her name is. She goes down there and kind of tells them

all right. I'm going to show you guys what to do. Barney's immediately in love I mean, we can blame him. They're going to fall right in love with him, but yeah. But anyway, Barney's had a rough life. Yeah, he did. It's lonely.

He's like, like, he's like twice her age. It didn't stop him in Tulsa King. I don't know it didn't. So, oh, so they go down there and she's kind of like starting to explain to them. who the army is and what's going on basically that's just corrupt and she tells them that they're uh who these american guys are coming in and trying to um it was all drugs is that what they were doing that coke and all that yeah they wanted uh they were using the military to uh they were going to like

plant crops and basically make like i don't know what kind of drug they were going to they were they were going to grow the drugs there and basically make that like the main hub of their operation because I guess the Monroe guy invested like millions into the to the operation. Yeah, so they're there. They don't know. They don't know all this is going on. They just know this is supposed to be there and kill this general. Yeah.

So, but she kind of explains down to what's going on. So when they're driving up to this area where she is going to show them, Christmas jumps out to uh because he said well you know we close he says yeah it's just like right over this hill so he jumps out to try to get some uh terrain and so they she keeps driving with barney and then they get to i assume it was the top of the hill and then they're there and they're trying to explain what was going on there but then the soldiers show up and she's like kind of just just stay here don't don't say anything but um they kind of know what's going to And basically they tried to just get her because they're yelling at her.

What are you doing here? They know who she is. But at this point, Barney doesn't know because they're speaking Spanish and everything. But as the audience, we find out that she is the general, General Garza's daughter. And then when they try to grab her, Barney steps in. And they're getting ready to kill him. But Christmas comes out of nowhere, starts throwing his daggers. And then an all-out war breaks out.

They start slicing and dicing and shooting everyone that's in the way. And all CGI blood. If it's done right, I can, I'm okay with it. But, oh, man, it was just, it was all over the place. But there was some good fight scenes, man, especially Jason Staten, man. He's the real deal. Beat your ass. Stallone as well.

He's a little slow, yeah, because he's way, way older. than Rocky I think he did a good job on because his main thing was like he had a quick draw with his gun yeah and I thought I thought he did that really good in this movie because there was a few times

when he shot like four or five people and it was just like I don't know what kind of gun he was shooting at the end they just looked like pistols but they were either he just got fast fingers I don't know I thought he was shooting little machine guns, but they were... Well, they had that scene earlier when him and Statham were going to, like,

he was going to shoot some guys, and he told Statham to, you know, killed the one guy, and he was like, no, I'll take the rest. You take the one guy. Then he told Statham the only thing faster than him is light. Because when Christmas was, he was about to get jacked up by one of the soldiers, Barney. shot over his head and killed that guy. And then Chris was turning around.

What are you doing? You almost killed me. You're welcome. And then the girl, San Jose, like, we got to get out of here, man. There's going to be more. So they jump in the Jeep and take off. And they go hauling ass back to the plane. He goes, yeah, we got a plane.

Because he's like, how are we going to get out of here? And he goes, don't worry about it. We got a plane. We just need to get to it. So we got this whole scene of them just truckloads of soldiers or just chasing after this old beat-up pickup truck. But they're just serving down the cobblestone roads and then end up getting to the plane. Christmas runs over there and gets it going.

He's like, just get her over there and you guys get in the air and get going so we can get it warmed up so we can go. So he drive, Barney drives off to try to just distract those other guys. But then when he kind of runs into one of the. warehouses or whatever he ends up in there starting to kill everyone but when uh christmas and sandra gets to the plane he's like come on we got to go she's like no no no i got to stay here i can't go and he's like fuck because at this point they don't know they don't know she's the daughter of the general because i don't think she said anything to them right away but christmas like eff it so he jumps in he's starting up the plane uh barney's in this warehouse uh killing fools and he he he finally

finally gets out and he starts running down the road down the road onto the deck uh i just love how he runs i mean especially usually he's all old he didn't say rocky running down the streets of philly he's old and plus he's a big guy so

yeah he's like way bigger than than rocky uh it turns of rocky days but i don't know how he is and i'm sure he's in way better shape than me so i can't talk too much shit but day all these soldiers show up and he's running and he goes diving onto his uh plane and he's hanging

on to the side as it's going it's not the air yet it's one of those um planes that uh land on water so all these soldiers are shooting and shooting and he's hanging on water splashing in his face and he finally climbs in and uh he's like well where's a girl she didn't want to come and he's like ah i f it so they get off and they get in the air and they're starting to fly But then Barney's just like, fuck it. And then he kind of takes the wheel. And they turn around and goes, what are you doing? He goes, we're going back.

He was like, oh, all right, whatever. So they, this part, was this, was this a stuntman or was this Jason Statham? Because he crawls to the nose of the airplane and comes out of a little hatch. And he stood. Like Statham was popping. his head out of the front of this plane. Yeah, because I'm watching. It looks like him.

And if it is, man, that's a stunt and a half because it looks like he's really in the air. It doesn't look like a stunt man. But when we see Stallone behind the wheel, we can see that it's a stunt guy or pilot. But yeah, he's in the front of that plane and they go back over that dock where all those soldiers are and they just he just unloads and they just pretty much I'm sure he killed some guys

because everyone was just ah yeah he's killing fools because we see the the CGI blood flying all over the place and body parts getting ripped apart and also as they go flying by Barney cuts loose some of the fuel so it all just starts dumping

and raining all over them and they're kind of like what the hell is that and then they're like it's gas or whatever So, like, shit. So Christmas turns around before they get away too far, and he has a flare gun, and he shoots it and then ignites the whole bridge. I don't know what's all on that bridge, but the whole place blew up. I mean, that's just not from gasoline? No.

And why did it? Because they're flying away right now, and gasoline is still coming out, or jet fuel. How come it didn't chase up after them, like it did the end of Die Hard 2? That'd be the end of the expendables movie. So, but, it was it? Monroe and Stone Cold, he's Stone Cold. That jumped off the, off the,

and that other dude that was where they jumped off the pier before it all blew up and they jumped in the water. So everyone, they've kind of, they get the, the surveillance and they see, like, how did you guys? let these two guys into the country and basically kill all our men. And he's like, all right, so they go, all right, they're going to try to figure out who these guys are.

But they do know that the general's daughter was helping them. So, but the general, he doesn't see, he's mad, but he doesn't seem to be that mad, as mad, not as much as Monroe. But they kind of say, hey, man, we got this guy. out here that's uh they can help us out and then in walks um gunner how do you know how he needed to be it was in the script i have no idea because he uh barney didn't tell him did he when they were talking he didn't tell anybody yeah i don't know i don't plot hole because he goes in there, he's demanding all kinds of money, and Stone Cole and the other dude are just laughing at him.

I like his interaction with Stone Cole. They're about to fight. He's looking at Stone Cole. He's like, make a move, pretty boy, or whatever he calls him. Because he comes walking in, Gunner comes walking in with a big old shotgun. But he tells them, look, man, I can give you who you guys are looking for. so they're like all right but um

the intel pictures that uh Barney and Christmas took they kind of figure in video as well they kind of figure out who who they're up against other than the general they find out that Monroe Monroe was

ex CIA that just got money hungry and drugs so they're like all right so we need to he's trying to kill us we need we need to avoid him because at this point they they weren't going to do the job

they were just going to all right we're good these are the guys that who they are so we're going to I guess I guess they were just going to hide from them because Barney was like well we're not doing this mission so let's just let's forget it and then I figured like well you took the money or half the money

I mean you're going to give it back But I don't know But this is when we get to see when they get back to New Orleans And Christmas goes back to his girlfriend's house Or ex-girlfriend or whatever And she answers the door and she's got a big old bruise on her face And then he goes and searches for her boyfriend

He's down the courts Somebody just fucked up He's on the courts with his crew looks like there's about eight or nine of them and they're like, who's this guy? I, he's nobody, man. And they go, it's all right, man, we got your back. And then he walks up on him and he just starts talking shit.

Because that one guy, like, basically, he's nothing, man. We'll just whoop his ass. But Christmas walks up. He starts talking shit. And then that one dude's like, you know what? I'm done with her. Keep the bitch. And then he just starts to just letting that fool have.

It lights him up a few times. The boys all try to jump in. He's karate chopping and kicking and just beating the hell out of everybody. Close line one dude. He took out the whole team. And then he just started to get that other guy a few punches. And he walks over and picks up the basketball, shoves it on that guy's chest, then pulls out his knife and just pops the ball. And then next time, and he can't just thread.

I'll kill you the next time or whatever it says. I said next time I'll deflate your balls or something like that. So basically beat the shit out of all those dudes and I'm sure they're going to leave him alone because he rides up to her, talks a little shit. Now you know what I do for a living. And then I'm sure she's just wet as can be and gets on the motorcycle. It takes off. Yeah, but doesn't he say something like we could have been good together?

Man, he With his line of business, I'm sure you can have any woman in the world. According to the trailers for the fourth one, he's with Megan Fox. Ooh, man. So fine.

Along with those big thumbs. You're with her. You probably don't notice. What's his name? Isn't he, is he married to her? Machine Gunn Kelly or whatever? They're engaged. I thought that one guy from 902 and no was killing it. He was.

So she met machine gun Kelly. She's garbage. I'm glad Kevin Owens threw him through the boxes on Raw. So back in Valena, they're tearing apart the town looking for the general's daughter. And they ram-sacking everybody, running through everyone. and then we go back to the tattoo shop. And this scene, yeah, this scene was pretty deep when Tool is telling Barney basically why he quit

the life of an expendable. And he's telling him that a tool makes a confession about letting a woman commit suicide instead of saving her. and then I mean that's pretty much the gist of the story on what he says I don't remember exactly word for word but

I think when he when Toll told Barney that story at this point he finally kind of realized like look man I need to I need to go back to Valena and save Sandra or Sondra or whatever her name is if you guys want to watch this whole scene

it's on Netflix or yeah but they're getting ready to yank it Um, it's probably because the new ones out. But yeah, this story was pretty deep. And it kind of goes on. And I don't really want to get into it. But that was the gist. He, uh, this girl committed suicide and he basically just let it happen and didn't try to stop her.

So, but, uh, they end up catching the, the, the, the general's daughter and just kind of asking, well, who, who are these guys and why are they here? But she's just, she ain't saying nothing. She's keeping her mouth shut. so everyone is like she's yelling and screaming at her dad like why basically why are you letting this

American come to our country and ruin it and kill all her people and she's screaming at them in Spanish so but they end up this part I mean I'll give it to her they take her into a room and they like water board her

wow yeah I thought it was a stunt person but when they pull the rag off man it's it's her so i mean i wouldn't want to do it no thank you i mean fake or not i don't think so i've done that before i was in a lake or something i had my shirt on and i remember putting my shirt over my face and just trying to breathe you cannot breathe when water is going over if you have some kind of cloth or whatever you don't try this boys and girls it's there's no joke but yeah you you can't breathe for shit so i mean i give it to this actress that uh that did

this but she didn't crack she'd probably been through a lot but barney he's thinking about it uh she gave him a picture earlier when he first met her uh because she's an artist so other than he was just in love and thinking that he can't as a good person he can't let uh all this craziness go on in this country. So he kind of tells Christmas and Ying Yang like look I'm going so it's not a mission

and I'm going to go down there and I'm going to save this girl. And Ying Yang Jet Lee is still like I need more money. Yeah, I'm still doing this. They know that the mission is done.

It's not a go. It's not a go. But he still needs more money. But Christmas is like, man, good luck, man, you fuck it. You go, you go do what you got to do. So when they, he's like, well, I'm going to go. And then Ying Yang jumps at the truck. What are you doing? He goes, you're my friend.

I'm going with you. And he gets in the truck. And he gets in the truck. He goes, why? Because I need more money. And he kind of just rolls the size and he started driving. But as they pull out of the garage, we see Gunner. some other

I assume Eric Roberts is gang yeah the guy that he keeps calling Dolf keeps calling him a insect don't talk to me

insect so they're driving down the road and he's trying to explain about his family and everything and you ain't got

no family but they kind of notice I like how he's you ain't got no family but I could I will one day he was

goes, but then all of a sudden, while they're at a stop sign, these cars pull up next to them, these trucks and just unload. And I assume all these windows are bulletproof because the bullets don't go through it. And I've said this before. Every time they have these badass cars in movies and they just destroy them. Oh, God, it reminded me a cobra. Oh, yeah, this truck looks like the cobra car. I don't know what kind of, I don't know my automobiles, everyone, but this truckie is badass. And they're just filling it up with bullet holes and crashing into it.

So they go riding down the road and they're shooting back at these guys. And he tells Yang Yang, get in the back. Why? Because you're little. And he has a machine gun. So he's in the back in the bed of the truck shooting. Gunners chasing after him, him and all the rest of the gang. And they're just hauling ass down the streets of New Orleans.

And the big huge gunfight. And they're just crashing into each other left and right. and I hate these tires. I mean, to each his own, whatever kind of rims and everything you put on your car or truck or whatever. But when you have big-ass rims and the tread, I mean, the actual tire is only like an inch. I hate those. I mean, that's me, everyone. I'm a big four-by-four guy.

But anyway, because I always think that that's not much rubber and all the peeling out. they're doing in this would fucking pop the tires would blow out but it's a movie so yin-gay's in the back of the bed and he's just unloading just shooting any which way but I'm sure he's sliding all over the back

of the bed of that truck but there's three trucks chasing after them and gunners and one of them and they're hauling down the street crashing into everybody that's in the way and the bullets are flying all over the place and

uh uh Ying Yang, he's got his little submachine gun, and he's just shooting at whoever's coming at them. And then all hell's breaking loose in the streets of New Orleans. But at the end of this scene, they finally, that guy that's with Gunner, he keeps talking shit, and he gets tired of him. And he grabs him, slams his head down, basically he puts it on the floorboard and steps on his neck. It's a footprint in his face. He killed him.

So he goes chasing after him, and they go crashing into a warehouse. And then Gunner and Barney are going like playing chicken going to top speed at each other. And they ended up cutting each other off and crashing. And Barney crashed into some kind of scaffolding. And it came down and made Gunner's truck flip over. but then he gets out and this is when we get the fight scene between

Gunner and Yang Yang I don't know how tall Jet Lee is but man he was bringing it to him and earlier like I said I hate when they they speed it all up it's super sped up and but it was a good fight though man I mean they were kicking ass

and Dolph Lundgren as big as he is he was serving gently in reality hell no Jet Lee would have whooped his ass with a couple kicks and that would have been in but I did like this fight scene it was awesome he ended up

Jetley well Jetley was about to get killed but then Barney came came in and saved the day because there were both shot him in the shoulder am I going to die now you'll live so

because yeah so they can he's kind of he's asking what who who sent you or who hired you and he's like who cares and he goes do yourself a favor and he's growing he goes just don't don't be a total asshole cooperate for once

in your miserable life and he goes they'll bury me right and he goes you got it so he's just telling him all right he goes while you're alive he's kind of saying they need to save that girl and then he tells him here come closer and then he whispers to

Barney basically they probably already knew that who was after him well I guess at that point they didn't know because they

they just came back so he told them you wouldn't seeing that it was Gunner trying coming after him I don't think they would assume that he was hired by the Monroe or Garza

Uh-oh. So, all right. So, yeah, okay. Now it makes sense. So they go back, and Barney's still like, I'm going over there. And Jet Li or Ying Yang is,

all right, I'm going to go with you. So they get to the plane, and the whole crew is inside. They're all ready to go. So he's like, ah, well, none of you guys have to go. And nobody was getting paid. Well, who knows?

Maybe they still did get paid by church. in them. So they all load up and they go back to Valena. This is when Terry Cruz. Like they asked Jet Lee what's wrong. He's like, it's too hard to talk about. It is what Terry Cruz is loading up

that big, I don't know what kind of gun that is some big cannon. And he's telling he's explaining what the rounds do. Yeah, whatever it is, man. It was just a big cannon what he was doing so they all load up they finally get there and uh they infiltrate the uh the castle or whatever a big mansion that they live in and they told him yeah we're gonna go

we're gonna go through the basement and everything and i think this is when the general was finally kind of like getting fed up why am i letting these americans come here and tell me what to do because he was still trying to, I guess, run his country. But Monroe and those guys are like, hell, no, we ain't listening to you. Because they basically had him in their pocket. He was their puppet and they were going to run this big old drug empire. Because they already had the drugs and everything going on because when they're running around in that little caverns or whatever under the mansion,

there's like just piles and piles of coke, bricks of coke in the little corridors. Yeah, I think the main issue was the crops weren't growing or something Because they had that scene when they were out there and there he was complaining about There's nothing happening out here Yeah, it's probably just the the soil and everything or whoever didn't know what they were doing But while everyone's going in there they're running around setting up charges All over the place everywhere they can everything they can touch any Beam ceiling anything they're just

sticking, I assume, little C4 charges everywhere, because they're all just running down. Everyone, everyone has one. They're all running down, just sticking them up anywhere they can stick them. And, of course, Barney's running around looking for that girl. So they're doing that, and they come across her. But these, Monroe, or not Monroe, Barney finds her, but then there was these two guys in there getting ready to get their rapes. on but he comes in and saves the day and cuts cuts one guy's hand off chops the other dudes head off and

CGII it didn't not look good. This was probably this was probably the worst well there's another scene later I'll bring up that didn't look too good it didn't look good it was neat and cool that he came in there and killed those fools but it didn't

look good so he gets her and like come on get out of here and he goes running down the corridors hauling ass and then here comes stone cold and then the rest of the game stone cold clothes lines him he falls down and these other de soldier guys grab that girl and then they're like where is everybody at your mom's house or whatever he says because they're they're choking it was about to kill him and uh that other dude that's with him i don't know i don't remember his name the the brit yeah him he's there he gives to loan a kick and

they're still just trying to get where who who's all he they basically want to know how many of them are there and he slow just talking shit who who's here where'd you guys come from your hairdresser he says that's just so cool and then they just they just start fighting no they're about to kill him but then

here comes the gang They come running in to save the day and then all hell breaks loose. They start fighting. The Stone Cold starts. No, Stone Cold runs off. And then him is Stallone chases him and then they have a fight because Jet Lee and Jason Statham come falling down out of the sky. And here comes Randy Gattour and they're just beating the hell at anyone they can get a hold of. Barney sees Stone Cold runoff.

So he goes chasing him and he's killing fools along the way. So then all of a sudden, everyone else is fighting. Jet Leeds kicking ass. And they're speeding the shit up again. I hate it. And along with all that, they're just shooting whoever they can shoot. Barney catches Stone Cold and they start having their big ass fight. Stone Cold whips his ass.

Yeah, he would have. I mean, as much as wrestling fans want to see your heroes do wrestling moves in these movies, they don't. I mean, I know the rock did rock bottom. He gives them a spear because that shit look painful as hell.

And we all know Stone Cold's knees are the best. So, but it was him. It was him that they did all the stunts as well as Stallone. They all did it. So while they're fighting, everyone else is killing fools left and right. A lot of CGI blood. But yeah, Stone call was bringing it to him. He was whooping that ass.

He was beating the shit at him. But he does end up saying it because when he kind of gets away and they, where are you been? Getting my ass kicked. I think this is where the Brit gets killed. Yeah, he's running around. He's shooting and Jet Lee. And he's shooting at Jet Lee. but then Jason Statham comes and throws a knife in his back,

and he kind of falls down, and then Jet Lee and him start whooping his ass. Like a Jetley, when he kills him, he, like, kicks his head backwards and breaks his neck. Yeah, I thought his head was going to fall off. Because, yeah, when he falls back, and then Jet Lee brings that kick down and just boom, his neck. Oh, dude, it just snapped easily.

So while this is going on, they started, there's a firefight, Randy Couture, and actually, I can't see how the guy was there, are still shooting at everyone. Barney's still taking on Stone Cold, getting the hell beating out of him. And while this is going on, here comes Terry Cruz with that big cannon, because he just do-do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- Yeah, this is my wife's favorite scene right here. He just came out of nowhere And just do do do do do do Do do do Yeah he was just lighting Everybody up

Stone Cole sees him And then he goes running off And that's when Barney comes out Where you been getting my ass kicked And he's just yelling And he goes damn He goes damn that thing is loud So

They're like Oh shit all right let's go So everyone's all They're just grabbing weapons off the ground now And now grabbing ammo and everything And they're telling all right let's go so they all go running out and back up in the i assume the main quarters of the general he's finally had enough of uh monroe

he's your money get get the hell out of here i'm not going to do business with you and he goes he basically just like had enough of him but i mean the damage was already done i mean everybody knows you're you're a crook and criminal he was getting ready to kill him the general was about to kill Monroe but with a sword but then his daughter kind of steps in and tells him to stop which she shouldn't

she should just let her dad kill that fool but then he kind of tells her he's like look I should have been I should have been like you she's a good person and just trying to do good for her country but so while that's going on the rest of the guys are trying to get out

They run out the front doors, but the army is all out there. They're like, fuck, so they go running back in, and they're not sure what they're going to do. And they're like, well, let's just run back through there. And they're like, no, everything's wired. The whole place is going to blow up. They said, this is it. So the general is up there, and he's starting to hoot and holler, basically, you're telling him, I'm wrong. I'm being selfish.

We shouldn't be doing what we're doing. and basically can try to turn turn everything around but he wants to kill all these Americans that came here and killed up it was killing everyone but before he can hype everybody up Monroe

he grabs the general's daughter and then he just opens up and kills the general shoots him in the back and he goes falling down kills his little twin henchman which that made me mad as an MMA fan those twins those are the legendary no Gera brothers

and they did nothing in this entire movie They were just there So after that When they see that guy When all the soldiers see that the general's dead Everyone just starts opening fire On the balcony

It starts opening fire on the guys Down below But then they're like We gotta get out of here and it's like F it so they just start Flicking the switches And igniting everything All the charge

charges that they set up. So, and then the whole mansion, castle, whatever it is, comes crashing down and everybody's just running for cover. And then from here we get a big ass fire, CGI blood fight. And everybody and the mom is just shooting in every direction, just gunning fools up, throwing grenades, uh, fighting, throwing swords and daggers and whatever you can get a hold of. And I love these These type of movies because everyone's shooting every direction

And it seems to be like unlimited ammo I don't have time to reload Uh-uh They ain't got time to bleed either But uh But Terry Cruz loads up his big gun It just do-d-d-d-d-d-d-shoots up and blows up those Towers

And I'm like, fuck, I mean, wait, I don't know what I don't know is that a real gun or is it just something they made for the movie and they look like shotgun shells I don't know what the hell it is on the plane when he was given that speech when he was describing the ammunition I think he said they were like many little warheads or something yeah well they they pretty much are because when they shot up those towers he blew up two of them and they go falling down so everybody in the gang christmas in him there's he's just throwing he he's got like unlimited daggers every time when he's shooting then he pulls out knife and throws it this way and throws it that way uh this is the part when i was

saying barney he's just do you do with his little pistol dropping the clips left and right and i don't know how how heavy carrying all these clips around with you when you're trying to fight and everything too but uh yeah ying yang he's out there shooting and killing fools and fighting um Stone Cold and Monroe are running and they have Sandra and they're trying to get to the chopper and so they can get the hell out of there. This is where Arnold should have came in. I know. She should have landed in the chopper and he should have said that line. But Monroe or the Barney sees him so he's kind of running after him.

But Randy Couture comes flying out of the flames and he gets it on. with Stone Cold and starts whooping that ass It was a cool fight But I hated the ending I was like man This is dumb Because Randy Gator is beating the hell out of

Well they're both beating the hell out of each other But he does his little flip moves And everything And Stone Cold He's trying to get some wrestling moves in But he ends up getting Does he get kicked into the fire? He gets Superman punched

Oh that's right a Roman Reigns. And this is what I was talking about. The CGI was bad. This would have pissed Lance off with the CGI fire. Every time I see CGA fire, he's the only one I think of. I mean, I don't know, man. There's just barrels or barrels of gas or whatever all over the place.

Because every barrel they shoot just a big huge explosion. I'm like, why do you need so much fuel? Oh, well, they had that, um, they dug that trench and they dumped all the fuel or whatever in there. So, okay, I just answered my own question. So, but going back to Stone Cold burning up, they had so many awesome explosions in here. You couldn't get a stuntman to get lit on fire for a second. Yeah. Because he's on fire.

Ah, ha. And that's what man. you can do good to her goes running up Superman punches him and I assume knocked him out and they just burned a death so but the castle is still

falling apart and everyone's still fighting each other Monroe he's trying to get fighting I don't know whoever's shooting at them um

um Monroe's still trying to get to the chopper but then he he's the there's a big wall of fire that's in between the chopper and Barney and he runs up and finds a

warhead or something he picks it up and he's like no not not Monroe the the chopper is in between them he he picks up this warhead and then Terry Cruz comes running up and he's like all right and he goes here throw this throw it. It was up as high as you can. So Terry Cruz throws it towards the chopper and Barney just starts unloading on it with a sidearm. I assume ignites it and then blows up the helicopter. I love this explosion because I don't know how much gas are in those things. Yes, there would be an explosion. But it was like way.

bigger explosions than it should have been because it blew Barney. Oh, what's Teddy Cruz's name? Hail Caesar. Hail Ced. He blows, they go fly in hell of far when they get blown up. And so during all, during the flames, Barney sees Monroe and Sanchez, so he goes running after them.

I don't even know if he adds any more bullets. But everyone else is still fighting, and they start blowing things up. More things blow up. Monroe can't get nowhere because everything is just falling apart around him. He lost his way out of there with the chopper. So he just goes, fuck it. Then it kind of runs almost out of the whole compound.

But then Barney finds him. And he's got his gun to Sandra's hair, to head telling him, like, don't test me, man. Look, just drop your weapons or I'm going to kill her. So Barney's putting his weapons down. And he starts shooting. He shoots Barney. Barney goes down, he gets shot in the shoulder, and he's getting

ready to kill Sandra. And he's laying there. Barney's laying there. But they do find out of me. He knows he's ex-CIA, and he's telling him, look, man, they're paying me more for this and this than that. And he said, I'm not going back.

He didn't want to surrender to the agency. So he's kind of just telling him his old plan. Yeah, he's monologuing. Yeah, I'm like, come on. Really? Did you need to say all this? should have just killed him and left it at that and moved on, but then there would be no dramatic entry.

Wouldn't be the bad guy without explaining his whole backstory. It wasn't for you. I would have got away for it. It wasn't for you medley kids. So while he's distracted telling him his whole life story, Sandra pushes him. Barney Pulls out of side arm Loads into him and also he gets a

Sword or I don't know I assume it's one of those big giant knives I think it was a gunners Minys sword Sword He gets speared through the back And it comes out of his chest And he's

That probably killed him More than the bullets did Because it probably went right through his heart And then he falls off that little bridge And then that's the end of your your bad guy so everyone's happy uh aren't you still trying to throw it down on sandra saying that here here's my number give me a call she ain't going nowhere she's i'm gonna stay here and he's yeah yeah i love you i'll be back and all this will you will you be back i'll be

back she should have did like uh no three amigos when uh steve martin that one macculating. I'll be back and she went, why? Well, you know, you know. Oh, yeah. That movie's awesome. So, yeah, so see, they kind of have their little dramatic, hug and kiss or whatever they did, and then they get back in the plane and take off.

They're back at the girl. No, they're back at Barney's bar. or whatever and everyone's talking shit and everything's good with Gunner even though he tried to kill him and he sold him out but he was blaming the drugs. Yeah, he's drunk. Tonyi, you're sorry.

And that's pretty much the movie, boys and girls. End of expendables because it was just them hanging out, having a good time. Nice throne contest. Lee Christmas is rhyming. then they ride away on their motorcycles and their hogs

can you ride a motorcycle no I don't even think I want to try I tried on a dirt bike that I didn't I couldn't do it so but that is it for the expendables and then

we got three more movies after that but oh man yeah but this movie was awesome man maybe it might as a little things where making fun of and everything. But as far as a shoot-em-up action movie and just right to the point, I thought it was awesome. Out of all of them, this was probably my favorite one.

Yeah, I agree. This is probably the best one. I mean, we'll eventually get to the other ones, but I would say this is the best one. Haven't seen the new one. Three is definitely disappointing from what I remember it. I think I've only seen it once. I saw that, yeah. Well, I bought And it's once in the theater. The second one I was juiced for because of Van Dam. Yeah, yeah. Chuck Norris. For Lone Wolf.

But Expendables 4, I did see it. I left work early and I checked it out. It was what it was. And another shoot-em-up extravaganza. Some new Tony Ja joined the crew and the one guy from the raid he was oh he was bad ass yeah he was badass man um every time him and tony jaw they didn't fight each other that was i was disappointed with that but how's their english uh eco or whatever isn't his is better than it was and tony jaws he's he's

getting there i kind of feel like that's what's kind of holding them that back from breaking through as big action stars is the language barrier. I don't mind reading. I mean, I'd rather have that just to see them kick ass. Yeah. Protector 2. That was a mess. The fighting was cool, but tried to be 3D.

Oh, my God. I didn't know. But, yeah, Expendables 4. I enjoyed it. It is what it is. Um, and the new faces and fine-ass Megan Fox and whoever that other girl was. Um, I don't know who she, she was. The new addition to it.

Um, okay, what the hell was her name now? Megan Fox still running around with guns. Perfect makeup. Uh, oh, she did the rogue thing? Yeah. Levy Tran she played lash Whoever she was I mean I want to see what else she was in

Oh she's got see she's beautiful hair with long black hair She had blonde hair She was in Ferrius 7 The first purge That's the only movies I recognize Uh Honie and Hillhouse she was in that Hmm

I don't have to go back and watch these I don't I thought this was the first thing she had done. They let her shine for a little bit. But, oh, man, man, sorry everyone.

This nippling, this knees in, and everything this episode. But again, Expendables 4, it was, it was what it was. It was cool. I mean, it's cool to see that this series is still going. 50 cents. I don't know. I mean, I,

as an MC fresh awesome I don't know I mean I didn't even like that movie he did what was the one that was supposed to be about his life story Oh get Richard die trying

I didn't like that one You didn't like the Naked shower fight scene With Terrence Howard involved I don't know I I don't know But everybody in this was kicking ass

I mean Even the There was another new guy that joined their crew a jacob si pio or sepio or i don't know whatever he played um a guy named glan or glan or whatever he was cool um and all the other dudes that the popped up in there all the stuntmen that were in it it it's it's ridiculous action but you that's what you you got to expect uh with these films i mean the thing really quick um there's they're on a boat or a big uh tanker or something out in the sea i can't remember where there's i don't know i've been in an aircraft carrier before and those hallways

and those things are really skinny and they're not very big but this big tanker they were riding around there was so much room they were hauling ass on dirt bikes and jump in it and everything I mean, there's nothing to spoil in this movie, but it's just go there and enjoy the off-the-wall action and silliness and CGI-I fire and everything. But for Wren, I love the theater. I laughed through a lot of it. I cheered through some of it, especially when Tony Jow was kicking ass. I enjoyed it. But as far as Eco, when he was fighting, I think it's Stallone.

he would have destroyed oh no no I'm sorry not just the loan of Jason Statham I was like no but I mean he's the bad guy and it's so but either way expendable's four I enjoyed film definitely go see it if you've already seen

these films and enjoy the beautifulness as that is Megan Fox in this film I don't know how old she was but I'm sure Jason Statham like way old than her. But expendables for original one 2010. Awesome, awesome

film. Oh, the other thing I noticed that expendables for Stallone just said, F it, no more die on the eyebrows, no more die on the goate or the hair. He said Fitt and kept it real. It just went gray in this one. Was he first shot for Tulsa King or something?

Yeah, and I think so, because his Tulsa King kept it real. He had the gray hair. I went through that whole thing again, but yeah, definitely check out Expendables for everyone. It's definitely worth

watching. And the action is crazy and off the wall and, uh, I need to watch the third one again. But I'm pretty sure four was better than three. But, uh, what do we got next? We are going to tackle the

2014 vigilante action film, the equalizer. Denzel? Yes. Old white guy. Did you see the new one? No, not yet. I haven't either.

I think I'm gonna... Theo saw it. He said it was good. I didn't really care for the first. Well, we'll get into it. Well, we talk about that. The second one was awesome. But anyway, we'll we'll dive into that. But, uh, sorry for the delay. Everyone, it was kind of, my fault with bullshit going on in my life. I mean, nothing negative, but just nonsense. But anyway, we'll be back for more.
