So, Lionsgate has gone from spoiling the 'surprise' cameo appearances by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger to falsely implying that the two action icons are actually starring in the 1980s homage. This is every bit as dishonest as the trailers for Kangaroo Jack and Snow Dogs which wrongly implied that the animals would be talking and/or rapping for the entire respective movies. Sorry folks, as most of you know, Sylvester Stallone is indeed starring in this ensemble piece, which he wrote and directed, but the real co-stars are B-level action figures (Jason Statham, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, etc). On the plus side, the film will indeed be rated R after all.
