We still laugh our asses off about that - 'three heads wide' like you could fit three full necks with heads on his body in that shot, lmao!

The movie itself was really well done. I liked the Rundown when it first came out too. But I don't ever go back to watch it again.

Compared to, like... "Commando" or "Predator," you know?

But "Faster" was great. Like a "Samoan John Wick," where he's like this vengeful walking urban legend. There was some very puzzling marketing there. I never even saw it in the theater, just afterward (most people seemed to think it was some kind of wannabe Fast & Furious movie, when it was anything but).

I also remember some talk some years back about an "Expenda-belles" spinoff with people like Milla Jovovich, but to this day I don't know if that was just pop culture fandom talking or a seriously considered thing....

I've heard Stallone talk about the Expendabelles so that was definitely real. But then I think a bunch of "grrl power!" type movies came out and failed hard right about when they were sniffing around for financiers on it... so there suddenly wasn't a huge push to put a bunch of washed up ones in the same movie together, Expendables 1-3 or not (plus 3 did BAD... only 39 million domestically).

Sandra Bullock, Cynthia Rothrock, Jovovich, Weaver, maybe Kathleen Turner, etc.... there could have been something there, sure.
