Just given me another reason to hate EXP 2. Thank you!

Unless it decides to live up to it's name and actually has the guts to kill off all the stars.

Looking forward to seeing this, apparently they are already casting for the next one, they have Nicolas Cage already, and are headhunting Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood.

This was fun in a not even bothering to be PC fashion, there's not really a plot just a series of scenes of a bunch of action movie stars shooting a bunch of criminal redshirts (you gotta feel sorry for them though imagine one minute you're the scariest thing in your country and then you turn around and realise you are facing Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Chuck Norris), Best bit though is probably Willis saying I'll Be Back and Schwarzenegger saying Yipekayay, or Van Damme killing a main character by having a henchman hold a knife to his heart and then KICKING it into his chest.
And it also has Charisma Carpenter in it again.

Yeah, the film's more in service to the spectacle of having these guys together than it is to its own story, and that undermines the more serious stuff at times(like with Chuck Norris' character, who's intentionally ridiculous and played for laughs), and at 90 minutes, there plot is very simple and leaves me wishing for a bit more time with some of them, but overall it's a lot of fun and a significant improvement on the original.

Okay. Need some help here. When did crispy duck become sexy? Am I missing something?

[kevinj]

It depends on who is eating it, now Neapolitan Ice Cream can be really sexy.

Liked the first one better, even though this had more stars, still a great film, just something about the grey misty settings just made it look a little drab, when the first one was bright and sunny.
