Review

these two films (a third is on its way) are about action/stunts and cameos/inside jokes. arnold has a role and he says “i’ll be back” and bruce willis says “no, i’ll be back” and arnold says “yippee kay yay.” cheesey referential humor and lots of blowing stuff up. they film in 2nd and 3rd world countries so they can basically do whatever they want and if people die (one stunt guy did, i believe), well, no big deal. it’s about as much machismo and bravado as you can fit into a film. most of the old stars are here. wesley snipes was replaced by terry crews because snipes was in IRS jail or whatever. harrison ford is supposed to be in the next one. they also have a girl in this one. this is a dumb movie.
