    The Expendables 3 (film)

    Not seen no.2 yet, but seems Jackie Chan will be in no.3...

    http://www.cinema.com.my/news/news.a...oinclude_12309

    Jackie Chan has confirmed his involvement with Sylvester Stallone's "Expendables 3" as the script is currently in works to include the international action star recently at a press conference for "CZ12" in Kuala Lumpur.

    "Sly had invited me to be in "Expendables 2" but I was too busy filming "CZ12" and couldn't make a commitment to the film. But he did extend his invitation to the third movie, which I agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more than just a minor role with a few scenes," said Chan.

    Chan added that he had revealed to Stallone that he hoped the third installment of the franchise would run along the lines of a 'buddy-buddy' movie should Chan be starring in it, which the "Rambo" star obliged. Currently, the script is in the midst of being worked on to meet the criteria.

    Sounds good. I just watched the second film yesterday and enjoyed it more than the first. The First Blood/Die Hard/Terminator references for each of their respective actors should have been cut down, but other than that it was a great throwback to 80's action.

    What does Chan mean by a "buddy buddy" movie?

    Anyway - I'm properly glad that a third is in the works. I had an absolute blast with the second which, while certainly not perfect, was just such a bloody good fun time. The whole opening action sequence had me grinning from ear-to-ear in the cinema (that was my favourite part of the movie, come to think of it).

    Here's what I made of the movie back in August:

    Loved the second one. Way more than the first, which was OK but tried to be a serious action film.

    Looking forward to this.

    I want to see Mel Gibson, Stephen Seagal, Jackie Chan. I can do without Nicky Cage. What's he done, anyway?

    Sounds like an appropriately bonkers list of cast members - looking forward to it!

    What about Jet Li, I wonder? He was all over the first, then he sky-dived out of the second in the first ten minutes never to be seen again. Could Chan be a replacement for Li?

    I enjoyed both films, but the second definitely had the amount of action that I was expecting from the first, which was a bit light in the middle portion (but certainly made up for it with an utterly explosive third act) ... the second was just all-out mayhem, and was thoroughly brilliant fun (my favourite part was the opening of the movie). Proper, old school, no-holds-barred, total action chaos featuring double-hard bastards grimacing and dropping sarcastic one-liners - YES.

    I want Van Damme and Seagal on the same film, so Damme can finally kick Seagal's flabby rear...
