Wait, help me out here, what were the key problems from #1? I mean, I am no student of film, but it seemed to be a pretty well rounded classic story and hit the key action movie points
For me, the use of CGI blood when good ol’ squibs would’ve been better. This is especially true when doing an 80s action movie call back. Along with the too quick-cutting camera shots in the third act.
Wow…the addition of Norris and Van Damme to the franchise is going to break the internet in two. I shudder to imagine what monstrosities 4chan will unleash upon the world with images from the movie.

Well, at least the got Van Damme and Norris for this one. Hope they actually fix the problems from 1, too.

It has Chuck Norris in it, unless they fight an army of Terminators the fight is only gonna last 5 minutes.
Looking forward to him killing a platoon with roundhouse kicks.

It seems crazy to just repeat the other comments but f´ing Norris! and Van Damme???
This movie will make a billion dollars.
You had me at “hello.”
Not many studs left to bring in…….Connery? bolo?
Well there is the immortal Jeff Speakman……what actioner is legit without him?
They all look so freaking old!
That first one was exactly what it was supposed to be. A sequel with Norris and Van Damme? I’m DEFINITELY on board. This should be a really fun film.
The only people I can think of for a sequel to this one would be Vin Desiel and Sigourny Weaver. Maybe Triple H and Wesley Snipes?
