The Expendables
Nodaisho:
Ikrik, I was under the impression that they were trying to get both old-school and new-school action stars, which is why they included Jet Li and Statham. Don't ask me why they picked Couture, maybe they are trying to get the MMA lovers that don't normally watch action films (all 2 of them)?
KvP:
You can play an official Expendables Contra knockoff on Facebook
... I think they may have won me over with this.

Maybe I'm totally wrong then? I just thought I remembered reading about how The Expendables was meant to be a love letter to the old B grade action films, it's not really that big of a deal though. I'm not that bothered by Statham, considering he's actually done some great action films but Li really doesn't fit with what they're doing and I totally forgot about Couture. I would have totally preferred maybe replacing them with someone like Clive Owen.
Caleb:
It's our last hope.

I think it is supposed to be a tribute to the old action movies, but also including the newer actors, sort of a passing-the-torch moment. Except instead of a torch, it is a machine gun that never runs out of ammo and can be fired one-handed with only enough recoil to cause the hero's gleaming pectorals to ripple slightly.
