Is this a good movie? Not really. Is it worth watching? Oh yeah. I'm not even going to talk about the plot or the acting. This is good late summer fun and great for fans of classic action movies, such as myself. Let me just give you some of my highlights.
-Jason Statham disguises himself as a priest when the bad guys (Not going to elaborate. They're just the bad guys) come in. He says "By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you... man and knife." He then starts throwing knives at the guys in a very well shot action scene.
-Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Chuck Norris are actually IN the movie.
-Sylvester Stallone and his men are getting shot at in an abandoned city. The bad guys have a tank too. It's hopeless until the bad guys start getting shot at, and their tanks blow up. No no knows who did it.... and then they see Chuck Norris walking down the road, to the theme from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
-Schwarzengger yells "I'm back!" They then play the Terminator theme song for a couple of seconds.
-Chuck Norris tells the story of when he was bitten by a cobra. "After five days of excruciating pain.... the cobra died." Yes, this movie has an actual Chuck Norris fact in it.
-Schwarzenegger and Willis are shooting at people from behind a car. Here is the exact dialogue from the scene:
Schwarzenegger: "Stay here, I'll be back!"
Willis: "You've been back enough. I'll be back." (He leaves)
Schwarzenegger: "Yippee-ki-ay!"
(Chuck Norris approaches him)
Schwarzenegger: "Who's next, Rambo?"
-Jean-Claude Van Damne sucks hard, but tries his absolute best to be cool and threatening. Hey, that's why we love him.
-Director Simon West actually uses a tripod when filming an action scene.
-The movie is self aware. The first one was too serious. This one is fun.
