Sylvester Stallone Says He Only Kills People That Need to be Killed

During a press conference in London to promote The Expendables, which opens this coming weekend, writer/director/actor Sylvestor Stallone told The Guardian that he only kills people who really deserve it.

"I always believe the violence is justifiable," Stallone said. "The one thing in my films ... I only kill people that need to be killed."

"Let me put it this way," Stallone said, "the ones that deserve it get it and they get it good and the ones that go after women really get it, you know what I mean? Really get it. People say: 'Oh, isn't that overkill?' and I say 'I'm not going to have a man having his way with a woman and wrecking her life and just shoot him with a bullet—it's too civilized. He's going to feel real pain'."


The action star's testosterone-fueled attitude certainly resonated with one of his Expendables co-stars, Jason Statham, who Stallone views as a protege of sorts.

Speaking about the paternal angle in the pair's new movie, 64-year-old Sylvester explained to BANG Showbiz that he was making a point that it was time for him to move on and Jason to take over. Sly revealed that he sees himself as a father figure to the 37-year-old British actor and thinks Jason could be the heir to his action hero throne.

"It was very intentional," Stallone said. "You have to be age appropriate and he would be the protege. He's like that fellow who I confide in who will eventually take over."

"I tease him about his love life and taking things too seriously, stuff like what a father would do. But yeah the paternal angle in the movie is not by accident."

For his part, Statham admitted that getting to know Stallone — who he has idolized as a young boy — was a dream come true.

"I had watched his films for years, that's why I get excited when I get to do films like this," Statham said.

Heheh I like that. Reminds me of the line in 'True Lies' when Jamie Lee Curtis realizes after she finds out Arnold is a spy and she looks at him seriously "Have you ever killed anybody?" To which he sheepishly replies "Yeah... but they were all bad." Classic. In either case I am SALIVATING over this movie now and I'm all set to go see this and be blown away

That does sound like a fine idea. I've been getting over Bronchitis for a month now, and I'm due for some serious beer drinking, so Friday should be Expendables and then many a brewski.


Too many alts to list.

I just want to say, Angelina Jolie makes a heck of an action star in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and Kate Beckinsale was great in "Underworld", so the ladies can throw down well too.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

You ever have a good bleu cheese sauce UT? It can have more flavor than A1, and goes great with Fosters, or Mickey's, my personal favorite.

Seriously man. My brother gave me this great recipe that uses bleu cheese as an accompanying sauce for when you grill a steak. It has a cool, creamy, yet slightly salty bite which perfectly melds with the beef. Trust me when I say it may sound 'Ew' but it's absolutely delicious. If you like I can send you the recipe and you can try it.

Something else entirely...

Am I the only person thinking that at this point in his career, after Snatch, three Transporters, two Jet Li movies, the Italian Job and whatnot, Statham hardly needs a mentor? Especially one such as Stallone?

I concur. Blue Cheese sauce is the bomb.

Although I know Americans do tend to have a thing for those orange plastic sheets sold as cheese instead of the real thing so maybe it's that

The Hell it is! This beer is not watered down crap we Americans drink! I hate beer love this one!

Warsteiner beer is brewed in the Arnsberger Forestpark outside of Warstein, Germany. Warsteiner has been a product of the Cramer family since 1753. Warsteiner is Germany's largest privately owned brewery, and its most popular beer is Warsteiner Premium Verum. Albert Cramer is the owner and managing director of Warsteiner, and has used his company to promote competitive hot air ballooning in Germany.[citation needed]

Warsteiner ranks number 4 among Germany's best selling breweries.

You do not know your beers so please do not speak of what you do not know.

Er.

I am German, for one. So I've forgotten more about beers than you've ever known by dint of my genes alone.

Secondly, Warsteiner IS the most watered down and sweetest Pilsener beer of quality you'll find in Germany. It's as close to soda as German beer gets. The only beers with less taste you can get over here are imports such as English or Dutch Lagers, or cheap discounter beers.

For being so sweet and tasteless, it IS very popular with women who can't usually handle the more bitter tastes of stuff like Jever or Bitburger, though most beers fall into the vanilla category in the middle. That'd include Beck's, Hasseröder or and Krombacher, as well as my personal favourites, Licher beer from my home state of Hesse, and the local Wernesgrüner. See if you can get either of Licher, Wernesgrüner or Bitburger over there, then come talk to me again.

Maybe a bit in bad taste saying this in the Expendables thread, but having seen both Scott Pilgrim and The Expendables I would highly reccomend Scott Pilgrim over The Expendables if you could only choose one. Or if you're seeing both, see The Expendables first. I watched Scott Pilgrim right before seeing The Expendables and I couldn't enjoy the Expendables quite as much because Scott Pilgrim was so ridiculously good.

The two movies have nothing in common but after Scott Pilgrim raised my entertainment bar so high, the Expendables was a bit disapointing. So yeah, see The Expendables first if you're going to see both and maybe you'll enjoy it more before Scott Pilgrim raises the entertainment bar too high. The Expendables is fine for what it is, and it's exactly what you think it is and that's wonderful if you just want to turn your brain off and watch a film you've essentially already seen a hundred times but if you'd like to see something great and you can only see one, see Scott Pilgrim.

Again, not saying The Expendables was bad, it just wasn't amazing either.

Ah-ha, I see it must be the 60% original Warsteiner with a kick from 40% lemon. Perky fruity and refreshing, but essentially mildly tart and pleasantly light or maybe its the 0.0% alchohol without depriving yourself or maybe its the unique slightly tart taste that is pleasantly light thanks to using especially soft brewing water.

Y'know I'm not one to talk about another man's beer (seeing as how I'm a Corona Extra junkie) but I think your right
