Commentary Submitted By Der Regarding EXPENDABLES 2 & JET LI
-They had Bruce for 4 days and had to rush him around from set to set to get his scenes done
- The writer was STILL working on the script AS they were filming it
- Jason Statham was unavailable for first few weeks of filming, so he had to get sly to "send him off to get the weapons" to explain why he wasnt in the next few scenes.
- The Van Damme/Billy Death scene was shot in 4 different locations and "hopefully" it looks seamless. Great job!
- Jet Li fight scene was alot longer but had to get cut down for time...must have been one of the best fights and JC & SLY didnt want Jet to outshine them.
My Comment : Surely an extra 30 seconds of JET kicking ass could only be what the audience wants - and shaved 30 seconds from some of the un-neccessary dialogue?
It sounds...considering the MILLIONS they would have got paid for 3-4 days work, that it was a nightmare to schedule and they rushed into the film and it COULD have been even better and it's a big bummer because of EGOs they cut down Jet Li's fight. Crap.
