Stallone Talks Expendables Scene With Arnold And Bruce

Sylvester Stallone recently talked about his epic scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis:

Stallone said the superstar-summit scene takes place in a church, where Willis’ nasty antagonist has summoned Stallone’s macho mercenary to finally meet him face-to-face, take measure of him, and possibly hire him for a death-defying mission. But just as the meeting gets under way and smartass smalltalk is made, in walks another killer-for-hire – Stallone’s longtime rival, who Willis has also invited to this job interview: Ah-nuld.

“Bruce says ‘Well, there’s one other person I want to talk to before I hire you,” says Stallone. “And then Arnold, who plays my old rival, walks in. We have a history together. And we go back and forth and I tell him that I should have shot him a long time ago when I had the chance. Then it goes on from there. And here we are, the three of us trying to man up to one another, playing off of who we are, using our baggage in this one scene.”

Stallone says that big scene with Willis, Schwarzenegger, and himself would amount to more than a cameo or a stunt in the final cut of the film. “It’s probably going to be about 5 minutes of screen time.” Which, if you think about it, is kind of impressive considering that Willis and Schwarzenegger were only on the L.A. set for 6 hours. “We only had them for that one day and then Bruce had to go off to Istanbul and Arnold had to go back and do his governmental stuff. But I was impressed because they got up at 5:30 in the morning to do this.”

The Expendables is about an expendable team of mercenaries hired to do jobs that no one else will, and it stars Sly Stallone, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundren, Terry Crews, Danny Trejo, Eric Roberts, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Expendables will be released on August 20, 2010.
