Zombie Bruce Lee isn't a good character, too much Mary Sue since he's just a "point at them" type of thing. Death has only made him more unstoppable after all.

Fight smart, not fair.

Glorious! ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS!!!

Is it just me or does Arnie look a bit like a madman? Makes me wonder if he's taking up Dolph's position last movie as the crazy uncontrollable guy (which, if true, makes me wonder about what Dolph's character will do this time).

Final Fantasy, Foreign Policy, and Bollywood. Helluva combo, that...

That would be the weirdest Ruined Forever complaint, they missed one action hero in the most testosterone powered movies of all time. It would be like complaining that they didn't put in Darkseid in Batman Arkham City.

The bridge would collapse if you put anymore on. You would need an super mega death bridge to contain more.

[up][up][up] Not really a complaint.. more like a distant wish. Which you had to see coming after the acclaimed Rock/Diesel fight in Fast Five.

[up][up] From my viewpoint, there could never be too much testes in this kind of movie. You could say they broke the barrel with Chuck Norris.

It'd be nice to see Steven Seagal snap limbs on the big screen again.

He's got a problem with one of the producers, so unless that guy leaves (or Seagal's offered loads 'a money) I don't think he'll join in.

Reportedly, Chuck Norris is forcing Stallone, the director and the studio to make the film PG-13.

He's like the eighth-billed actor in the movie. He shouldn't be forcing his morals onto everyone.

Also, Norris is a hypocrite with all of the R-rated movies he's been in.

One of the producers wanted to release the first movie as PG-13. Not happenin'.

For the first film Stallone said they were working out what the exact tone they were going for, cause R rated action movies in general are struggling and some people feel that the extremely graphic violence of Rambo turned off the casual moviegoers.

But the tone for these movies are already set, to go back on that would be a disappointment. So many of the genuinely awesome parts were some of the R material: the pirate leader being split in half by a grenade launcher, the AA-10 shotgun mulching up the mooks, a lot of the knife work by Statham. If the first film was already PG-13, that's not a big deal but you gotta keep up expectations. I think Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer lost a good chunk of the box office because PG action movies (short of Star Wars) tend to lose out as well. PG-13 is the most common butter-zone.

If Norris is trying to force PG-13, that just further cements my belief he is inferior in badassness to Statham.

Statham is the closest we have to a modern-day Bronson, Norris hasn't had it in years.

Norris never had it. He was always a D-grade action star, Jason is an OLYMPIC SWIMMER and kicks more ass in the first 5 minutes of his first movie them norris ever did.

And Norris is now hawking home exercise equipment on informercials. In my opinion, that kinda strips him of the "badass" title.

You lot see Chuck Norris through the prism of some bad films and informercials. And some seriously whacked out religious and political views. More fool you. Remember Way of the Dragon? His fight with Bruce Lee, where the Little Dragon killed his ass? If that had been a real fight to the death, Lee would have been stone cold dead in about, oh, ten seconds. Norris is a karateka of such skill a lot of folks in the current Japan Karate Association wouldn't stand a chance against him even now.

In his prime? None of them could.

Look up his fight record in the professional karate arena. He had a few early losses as he learned his trade then he reached the same sort of level that Ali did in the heavy weight boxing arena. He had skill, flexibility, timing and control. And he was big. You don't get the amount of Black belts that Norris has unless you are seriously fucking good at what you do. And I would love to see the after effects of any of you girls calling Mister Norris a pussy or a douchebag to his face.
