The Expendables (2010) - Full Reaction - Popcorn In Bed

Watch the full reaction to The Expendables on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Night King01

You should watch Expendables 2. they hit the sweet spot with that one. The action is filmed better since they had Simon West direct who directed Con Air. The humor is better, the villain is better because its Jean Claude Van Damme, and all the actors are having more fun. It peaks there though, the others go downhill after. As much as I love Eric Roberts as an actor he was a pretty weak villain in this. I know its not really the point but JCVD is really entertaining as the villain in 2

Medievalwaffles

saw this in theaters, it was between this and scott pilgrim and my cousin insisted we watch this. I'm still peeved about it

Clay F

I took my son to see scott pilgrim in the theater at his request. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked scott pilgrim.

Night King01

If you’ve never seen The Transporter with Jason Statham you should its a great time. He plays the slick suit wearing charming hero really well, and the film just looks naturally beautiful since they filmed it on the blue coast in france. Also the sequel is great as well. Its what made Jason Statham an action star. He had a similar trajectory as Sly when you think about it, starting out in more dramatic/crime movie roles and then transitioning to action.

Night King01

When you read about the inception of this franchise it really makes me like Sly even more as he did this in order to essentially make a film with all his friends. Even helping out others get back into the mainstream such as Dolph Lundgren who was pretty much stuck in the direct to video market since the late 90s. This was his comeback film and I guess it worked wonders since then because he’s appeared in a bunch of big budget films like Aqua man, Minions rise of gru and came back as Ivan Drago in Creed 2.

Night King01

I say this since I’m pretty sure you have not reacted to any Jet Li films on the channel and now I guess you have with this, but his 2002 film Hero is a visual masterpiece, one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen and his performance in that is fantastic. Its the in the same style as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and it might be better. He’s second to Jackie Chan in terms of Martial arts actors, though I think Hero beats any Jackie film. His other film Fearless from 2006 is fantastic as well. Theres too many other great films to list here.

Night King01

If you want an Oceans Eleven type film starring Jason Statham, the 2008 film the Bank Job is great. Based on a true story as well.

Clay F

Yeah, The Bank Job (2008) is a much better Jason Statham movie.

Night King01

He should do more roles like that, cause the dude can act.

chris berestoff

The Italian Job also? I think it’s a fun movie

Clay F

I am not a big action movie guy, but I've always liked Jason Statham.

Night King01

Him and guy richie need to team up for another snatch type movie

clutchkman

It's been a tough week in my house too, so you're not alone, but it's always a comfort and joy to watch movies with you, even if it's just virtually. So, thanks for doing what you do and get the heck outta here, your hair looks good!

Ed Garland

Which version (Theatrical or Extended Uncut) is this please??? Thank you.

JL_83

an ensemble of famous Hollywood tough guys in a mindless shoot-em-up, how could you not have fun with it?

Alex Gorell

Fun movie. Saw it in theatres. Second one is good as well but this one is better. 3rd one not necessary.

James Damar

Looks like its the extended edition, I was starting to watch it with the theatrical and it doesn't match up. Run time on the "find your own copy" link also shows 143 minutes which is the same as the extended edition.

Dave

This is the shorter 1 hour 37 minute version found on Amazon Prime, not the extended director's cut. The complete reaction with intro and outro is only 1:39 long, so it can't be the extended cut

Ib-René Jørgensen

Gunnar played by Dolph Lundgren is Ivan Drago in Rocky 4 and Yang played by Jet Li is the main bad guy in Lethal weapon 4. I thought you recognize them during the movie. 😊

Choof

Sylvester Stallone's scripts, even line to line vary from authentic and unique to corny and cringe and I mean that fairly positively. When it works it feels like a true authorial voice, when it doesn't it's hard to listen to haha.

Mojo One Thousand

No, it is every week, there was an exception over Halloween, and a delay this week. Sometimes life happens.

Mad World

Sometimes it feels like im paying double just to wait :D

Mike Lemon

Relax. There is no set schedule when things get watched, it happens when it happens. There is usually a full watch on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, with Monday as a makeup day (but that has been off for a few weeks).

Clay F

Theatrical (1h 37m). Synced perfectly with my stream of the theatrical on Amazon Prime. Her typical approach is theatrical unless otherwise state.

Clay F

I like Jason Statham. I think the movie delivers much of what the target audience wants: graphic violence with “big, dumb, campy fun so deliriously, comically macho, it's remarkable that no one in the cast died of testosterone poisoning.” That may be somewhat in line with what you said in your outro. I liked fight sequence early in movie when Barney (Stallone) and Lee (Statham) were saving Sandra (General’s daughter). I also liked explosions at end. David Zayas (the General) is a main character in Dexter TV series (highly recommend). As you may know, Eric Roberts (evil guy James Monroe) is Julia Roberts’ older brother. Sandra and Lacy = pretty. Lee a better guy for Lacy than that dick she briefly hooked up with – obviously. Stallone described the movie as "drunk uncle of all dumb action movies.” Pure machismo and B-movie aesthetic (w/A-budget). No rich story. No detailed character development. Not as fun as could be. Didn’t seem to have complexity of male-bonding classics (e.g., The Dirty Dozen). Action fans who grew up with movies like Commando, Cobra, Rambo, etc. can here appreciate the cast and 80s-type violence, but I would think even a few of them likely wanted something more.

Mojo One Thousand

Cassie, You hit the nail on the head with your summation of the movie based on the poster, there was a little bit of heart, but not as much you may have liked. I saw this in theatres when it came out (don't think I have seen it since) and I thought it was very graphic, particulary Terry Crews', on-the-nose, Chekhov's (shot)gun. I had a feeling that some of it would be rough, but glad it was enjoyed... sometimes a movie that doesn't require a thinking cap does the trick. There isn't much chance of a rom-com with Jason Statham, as he is largely an action guy, or the occasional Guy Ritchie film. The closest you might get is the animated film "Gnomeo and Juliet" where he is the voice of "Tybalt" or a much lighter action comedy "Spy" is I have always thought is a bit of fun. I did like that Mickey Rourke was recognised from "Sin City" based on name, but from "Iron Man" when he was seen in person. He was "Marv" in "Sin City", and "Whiplash" in "Iron Man 2". A couple of Mickey Rourke movies from this century with Mickey Rourke that are worth a look are "Man on Fire" with Denzel, and "The Wrestler" which is is the lead. I did like that Terry Crews with the big traps (trapezius) muscles is known from "White Chicks", and we got a brief rendition of Vanessa Carlton's "1000 miles". A movie I find underrated that Crews is in is "Street Kings" which has a good cast lead by Keanu Reeves, and directed by David Ayer who rote "Training Day". The "Larry the Cable Guy" looking gentleman is former WWE wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and the gentleman with the cauliflower ear is former MMA fighter Randy Couture. Eric Roberts played the rogue CIA agent, that was trying to plant coca (cocaine) rather than cocoa (chocolate) to corner the drug supply of the island, although these days the cocoa trade might be almost as lucrative. Roberts is the formerly estranged older brother of Julia Roberts, and father of Emma Roberts, who has been in many things, but I know her best from "We're the Millers" - unfortunately it is also marked as seen. The stunt coordinator for this movie was Chad Stahelski, who directed the "John Wick" franchise.

Mojo One Thousand

The stunt coordinator for this movie was Chad Stahelski, who directed the "John Wick" franchise, so there is some "John Wick" DNA in it. And, machismo is the word Cassie needed for in her outro.

Wesley White

WOO-HOO!!! YEAH BABY!!! LOL🤣Sorry, I absolutely love this franchise and this is exactly what I needed! Looks like both of us are having touch times, only difference is I had a horrible week due to work, ugh lol! I guess we both needed this Cassie lol! I'm very glad you enjoyed this movie Cassie, you have no idea how happy that makes me feel! The way I see it, this movie along with its sequels are a love letter to fans of cheesy mindless action movies of the 80's and 90's! And considering it starred 3 of it's most legendary action movie heroes (Stallone, Willis, and Schwarznegger) though the latter is technically a cameo, but seeing these three legends together is awesome! Your reactions during some of the fight scenes was hilarious Cassie, especially when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin does a full on charging head-butt on Stallone, that was priceless🤣 And the way Terry Crews (Caesar) brags about his shotgun and the kind of ammo it shoots, you're reaction was hilarious! I'm a little surprised you didn't recognize Dolph Lundgren (Gunner) who played Drago in "Rocky IV" and Jet Li (Yang) who was the main villain in "Lethal Weapon 4" lol! Yes, Mickey Rourke (Tool) he was in both "Sin City" as Marv, and in "Iron Man 2" as Whiplash, very good! Yes, you must watch the sequels, but I'd only go up to 3! Four is okay, but kinda bland with its story and plot premise, even though the action and humor is what makes it worth watching! I can't wait to see you react to the second one because it's my personal favorite and (minor spoiler) Stallone, Willis, and Schwarznegger teams up in one of the most bad-a** shoot-em up scenes in action movie history! Plus, I have two very good reasons you should watch the third film: HF & MG, those are the first and last name initials of two movie stars that I know you love a lot Cassie lol! These guys, when they're together, the chemistry and comradery, reminds me of me with my friends! These guys are the kind of guys I'd like to hang out with lol! About 75% of the firearms you see in this film, I own in Airsoft form, especially Stallone's "Smokin' Ace" Revolver he keeps behind him as a last resort lol😁 And the three main knives you see (Stallone's Bowie, Lundgren's Bowie, and Statham's throwing kunai's) I own liscened replicas made by the great Knife Smith Gil Hibben lol😁 Can't help it I'm a collector lol! In conclusion, great reaction Cassie, I think this was something we all needed after having such rough times! Heck, I'm gonna watch this again tomorrow night when I get off work lol! I heard about the sad news regarding the family member of your editor, my heart prayers go out to him! Hope you're doing okay too Cassie! As for me, I think I'm catching a minor head cold, ugh🤒 Can't wait for you to eventually see the sequels, love and support, you and Carly are the best, and God bless y'all and the family🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌🌹

Clay F

Mojo - thanks for your reply. I edited out my John Wick mention before I saw your reply b/c decided that John Wick wasn't that applicable and didn't want to seem negative about this movie action b/c some is quite good. Now I find out from your reply that John Wick is at least indirectly applicable.

Choof

For more Jason Staham I recommend The Transporter, and for an equally silly movie to this for next summer I think The Meg would be a fun reaction if not a particularly good movie, its Jason Statham vs a giant shark

Bryan Erickson

Mickey Rourke’s monologue about the person on the bridge is a reminder that a true thespian resides within that man. It’s a performance so good it feels out of place in a movie like this.

Clay F

Recommended Jason Statham movies: -The Bank Job (2008) [ROMANTIC dynamic (w/the beautiful Saffron Burrows)] -The Beekeeper (2024) [no significant romance] -Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) [not romance] -Wrath of Man (2021) [romance not central] -Safe (2012) (1h 35m) [not romance but protective BOND w/young girl] -Redemption (2013) (1h 40m) [ROMANCE (deep attachment)]. A gritty British action-thriller (neo-noir) dealing w/redemption (hence, the title). A darker, more dramatic role for Statham, blending action w/themes of atonement and survival. Mickey Rourke Of cast, Mickey Rourke = best actor imo. B Willis and Eric Roberts are good actors. Even Stallone can have his moments. Mickey Rourke did play Marv (my favorite character in Sin City). He received Oscar nom and won a Golden Globe for “The Wrestler” (2008) (w/Marisa Tomei). He had an 80s heyday, rising as major star, working w/top directors. Then a career decline in 90s due to poor choices and personal struggles. His comeback was The Wrestler (2008) that revitalized his career, earning him widespread accolades. His notable 80s movies: Body Heat (1981) (smaller part), Diner (1982) (his major breakthrough), Angel Heart (1987) (widely considered one of his finest roles), Rumble Fish (1983), The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984), Barfly (1987), Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986). His look in 80s (young thin handsome guy) is unrecognizable compared to his look 2000+. Sequels React to Expendables 2 only if wins a poll. Say no to 3 and 4.

Clay F

+1 for Mickey Rourke

Stan the Man

Is game of thrones not happening this week?

Mike Lemon

How did humans go from waiting "6-8 weeks for your Little Orphan Annie decoder ring" to incessantly whining about a video that isn't even late yet?

Clay F

Above in the text description, she states "GoT will be up tomorrow!"

TheSingulatarian

You forgot "The Wrestler"(2008) maybe his finest performance.

Clay F

I mentioned The Wrestler twice: "He received Oscar nom and won a Golden Globe for 'The Wrestler' (2008) (w/Marisa Tomei). ... His comeback was The Wrestler (2008) that revitalized his career, earning him widespread accolades." Agree that may be his finest performance.

Geoman

GOT in the next 24 hours Stan...I'm eagerly waiting too.👍🏻

Dave

I'd never seen this one before, and having watched it with the reaction... I now know why I skipped it, lol. Great reaction though!

Joe J

Mike, why do you care? Why police comments?

Dave

Small delay, Stan, but it's on the way!

Joe J

I love action movies. I think Cassie should watch the entire franchise...just like she did for John Wick.

Richard Maurer

Joe - you’ve got to admit, these GoT fans are very impatient. Every post Cassie makes, every movie reaction, seems like there’s at least one “where’s the GoT reaction?” post. Makes me wonder, what’s going to happen when she finishes GoT?

Mike Lemon

Joe, why do you care? Why police comments? For me, they are annoying as frig. There's four in a row down on the "Upcoming" (5 of the last 7 top level comments) including one by OP when "Cassie" explicitly said, "GoT will be up tomorrow!," on this very post (which has two of them).

Joe J

Too bad the dude now has a face like a baboon's hiney.

Steve Holton

Sylvester Stallone was inspired to this idea after “dragging” his family to a concert of many older bands playing together in one venue. His wife and kids had to admit it was great hearing so many old hits the same night. So, Stallone figured, maybe people might not come to see one older action star in a film, but maybe they’d come out to the theaters to see several of them performing their old “hits” together. And probably okay to debut the YouTube of this in December since it is a "Christmas" film😊

2-Can

TS - I think The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) is Mickey’s best. Maybe Eric Roberts’ best as well.

Clay F

Good observation -- Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts both in The Expendables (2010) are the two lead characters in The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984). So they've known each other for 40+ years. Daryl Hannah [e.g., mermaid in Splash (1984) w/Tom Hanks] is also in Pope of Greenwich Village.

Christian Becker

Sometimes PEW PEW PEW is simply enough. ;-) PEW!

VOCFM

Obviously some people are going to unsubscribe after game of thrones cuz there are some people only here for game of thrones which is fair. There's nothing wrong with that. Also, she will probably watch house of the dragon I would assume, at some point

kenneth brown

Good mindless fun. Expendables 2 is the best of the franchise IMHO

Johnny Bullis

If you watch any more of these.. for the LOVE OF GOD... stop at part 3

Stan the Man

Asking a question is whining? You ok dude? Someone piss in those cornflakes?

Stan the Man

Thanks Clay. Didn’t see that

Stan the Man

Relax people. It’s a question. Just breathe lol. Usually the videos get uploaded on a certain day. Asking if it’s happening/not happening is not going to hurt anyone.

Cole Jennett

It was a valid question Stan because they had always been released on Thursday or Friday every week for the last couple months, but if you had read the comments you would have seen the answer. No harm no foul.

Ike

🤣 Indeed.

MikeLL

One thing we learned from this reaction, which was a really good reaction. Cassie can't quite wrap her head around there being more than 600 people being killed in a movie like this!

VOCFM

Here's the strategy. You block everybody who makes comments like this, just like I did, including all the busy bodies who comment 25 times on every post including all 1,300 that Cassie has ever posted (you know the singular person that is) and then you realize that your experience is better

Steve Smith

Kinda reminds me of John Wick. After the first 1,000 people he kills, you kinda become numb to it all.

Johnny Bullis

Im sure others have said this already.. but this was the first time ever the 3 biggest action stars of the 80s were on screen together... and his line about Arnold being president is actually a meta joke.. cause a lot of people back then wanted arnold to run for president ..

Johnny Bullis

Agreed fully.. and all the awesome meta jokes.. pure guy movie goodness..

Tyler Hale

Arnold was very ambitious

2-Can

Arnold was born in Austria, so he is prevented from being president by the US Constitution. Sly’s movie Demolition Man made fun of this because when he woke up in the future, Sandra Bullock’s character mentioned the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library - and that he was allowed to run due to the 61st amendment (there currently 27 amendments). Interesting enough that both Predator and The Running Man both had both Arnold and Jesse Ventura - who were both elected governors (California and Minnesota).

2-Can

If you are feeling some love for “putting the band back together” movies, then you are ready for The Blues Brothers (1980)

Canadianant

We're on a mission from God

JRCortez

This was not googolplex, but googol pew 😂🤣😆

JRCortez

I’m thinking one expendables movie is enough….

K, Zachary

Batista from Dexter was the General. We watched some it this morning then took a Steelers break. This movie did come back to me for some reason I get it confused with a couple of other movie franchises. However I am confused most of the time. So that's nothing new. We agreed with your reaction. It was silly and a little ridiculous at times but it was just entertainment.

Rick Williams

Yes, Cassie this is a great movie to watch on a bad day. It is fun. And Gunner was from Rocky IV. Lots of old bad boys. Great reaction Cassie. I hope your day got better.

Rick Williams

People just to read anymore. They read the first couple of lines and then stop. Fully reading the whole statement is important.

Rick Williams

I told you. No one fully reads anymore.

2-Can

This movie has been up all day and nobody has mentioned to Cassie that Eric Roberts (chief villain) has a sister named Julia? Is this common knowledge to her?

Mike Lemon

A couple people mentioned it. Mojo and Clay are two that I saw.

2-Can

Thanks - I missed those.

2-Can

lol- I even responded to the chain Clay started - I was drawn to TheSingulatarian’s comment without actually reading Clays . . .

Mojo One Thousand

Oh yeah, the actress who played "Christmas'" lady friend and seemed familar is Charisma Carpenter... she is probably most known for her recurring character on the "Buffy the vampire slayer" TV series, and later in its spin-off series "Angel".

Mojo One Thousand

I also mentioned he's the father of actress Emma Roberts.

Paul Cox

In a fairer world, we'd have lost THIS one to a technical malfunction.

2-Can

Ok - I’ll keep this thread to recognize the others (normally I’d delete it b/c I don’t want to usurp them)

Shad Kanyak

I’m not sure I can see Charisma Carpenter as anyone other than Cordelia Chase.

Ian A

Right!? She was Cordelia to me for 7 of my most formidable and impressionable high school, college and early adult years.

Walter

You're right, Cassie, he should have made the shot with the basketball.

Walter Crockett

Hey Cassie, I sent the DVD (AKA the 4KUHD) I am glad you liked it and hope it made your bad day a little better. Also the second Expendables is better, and I sent you that one too. One of my Top 10 Action films of all time.

Stephen Dias

Hey, it's that movie with Whatshisname, Whatshisface and That Guy! Everyone is in this movie, even The Other Guy, despite the big rivalry with Whatshisname. It's like one of those old epic war movies with every famous actor and his uncle. I look forward to watching it.

Chris Thom

Feel like Jason Statham actually was in a rom com at one point. Or just a comedy? I can't place it, but pretty sure it was something Cassie might be into.

Clay F

I think she streamed the movie on Amazon Prime, but I am sure she will like having the DVD in her collection.

Clay F

+1 for the Dexter TV series. That would make for a great reaction.

Patrick Flanagan

He sppofs himself in the Melissa McCarthy comedy SPY.

Richard Maurer

That probably didn’t help her acting career - not being able to see her as anyone other than Cordelia, I mean.

Shad Kanyak

Outside of Buffy/Angel, these movies and a short guest run on Veronica Mars, I don’t think I can name any other roles I’ve seen her in.

Joe J

Who wants some old b/w film with actors Cassie's never heard of.

Joe J

Didn't he do a couple of Hallmark Christmas movies? Maybe I'm thinking of some other bald guy.

Paul Cox

Lots of us. Grow up.

Richard Maurer

I looked up her credits, she was in a lot of films and series. Unfortunately it was mostly either small roles or Lower budget stuff.

Gray

This film definitely sits atop of that bin of DVD's you get in a video store of action film for dads lol. I think i saw this in the cinema too totally on the star value only, i mean it's ok if a bit naff. A fun Jason Statham film i'd recommend is Spy which is an action comedy starring Melissa McCarthy which I think you'd really enjoy.

Chris Thom

YES. Thank you, that's it. Was mind-melding it with The Other Guys but that's the one. He kinda plays the character he always does, just a more funny, silly version.

JPDotCom23

Jet Li, who was Yin Yang in ths, played the main villain in 'Lethal Weapon 4', kept waiting for Cassie to remember him. And Jason Statham's character's name is Lee Christmas, not just Christmas . I hope she'll watch the next two, not sure about #4.

John A

This is one I always wanted to like, due to the cast and trying to bring back the 80's action films. but i thought the edits were too quick and too often, and too many close up shots. But I did love seeing so many action stars in one movie. But fun seeing again with Cassie reaction.

JAKH

She did a few 1-ep guest roles on shows like "CSI", but what really killed her career was doing.Playboy. Same with Mercedes McNab (Harmony). Alyson Hannigan limited her "exposure" to FHM and did pretty well post-"Buffy".

JAKH

When do we get "The Expendables 2"?

John Casamassa

This movie wasn't trying to be anything other than a return to the over-the-top action of the 80s. It's big bullets, big knives, and big muscles...and I love it!

YodatheHobbit

This movie's lack of emotion gave me no interest in the plot whatsoever. I just couldn't follow it without it. Feels almost like they're speaking a foreign language. I just didn't care about what every character was saying. I guess action without drama just puts me to sleep these days. Luckily, Expendables III gave me some characters to care about with some stakes I actually felt, ( and formerly very popular actor who's the Villain surprised me by actually scaring me a bit, not spoiling who in case Cassie ever watches) so I liked that the most of the 3 I've seen.

YodatheHobbit

Dang. I never knew that. Makes me wanna imagine Julia in The Dark Knight now, just off screen.

YodatheHobbit

I haven't seen it myself, got close to seeing it, but apparently Google says the closest thing Jason Statham has done to a romantic comedy is the film Spy (2015). For another one, I don't know if I'd enjoy the movie nowadays, but I remember vaguely enjoying the Jason Statham movie Crank with it's slightly comedic tone because he is forcefully given a drug which will kill him unless he keeps his adrenaline up, making for some wacky, unexpected, and sometimes funny scenes.
