If I remember the commercials correctly, I think it was something like he gave up kung fu movies. Or kung fu epics. Or something along those lines. Not action movies in general.

That clip would have been better had Predators not already put those emo bitches and horrible old hags in their place. This movie is gonna have to be really good to compete with that.

For whatever reason, I want to watch this movie. However, I don't know if I want to see it in the theater at all. Are the action sequences in the movie worth going to the theater? Or is this something I would be fine going with the Bluray in a few months? One thing to note, I don't get to go to the movies that often with a 1 year old and limited amount of babysitters.
Normally I go to movies as a matinee. Rarely do I go out to a movie at night. Last night was with a group from work. I'd say that you could wait for a matinee or disk. The action doesn't really diminish with the size of the screen. At least it wouldn't for me. Now if you do decide to wait, careful for the spoilers in this thread.

Haha, he takes so many drugs/steroids it's a medical wonder that his liver is still functioning.

Were you unaware of his legal troubles in Australia a couple years back?
CBS News wrote:(AP) Sylvester Stallone has apologized for importing banned muscle-building substances into Australia, saying he had taken the drugs for years for a medical condition but bringing them into the country was "a terrible mistake."
Stallone, through his lawyers, pleaded guilty Tuesday in a Sydney court to bringing in dozens of vials of human growth hormone and testosterone - restricted drugs in Australia - during a tour to promote his film, "Rocky Balboa," in February.
I love how the story keeps mentioning that he has "a medical condition". I think it's called "being a 64 year-old man". Guys that age generally don't look like this without some chemical help.
Also interesting that the article mentions that while he has a prescription for his "medical condition", the HGH he was carrying was made by a Chinese company and not available legally in the US.

Honestly I am not up on the HGH teachings.. But doesn't it just build mass? You're still going to need to eat properly and exercise or you'll just end up fat with muscles.
The movie was a whole lot of nothing. I thought it was gonna give me an epileptic seizure the explosions just blured by so fast. Scenes that were supposed to be "cool" just fell flat. I was bored.

I certainly wasn't suggesting it doesn't take a lot of hard work. What I was suggesting was that, in general, a 64 year-old man can do all the hard work he wants, and will never look like that. I've heard HGH referred to as the fountain of youth.

It can also be the fountain of cancer if used improperly (aka as a steroid-type performance enhancer and not as part of hormone replacement therapy) and not combined with increased cancer screenings.

According to what the doctors in the above linked documentary said, there's yet to be a proven link between steroids and cancer of any kind. And yeah, they go over that guy that died of a brain tumor or whatever it was and landed on some magazine cover. I'm not doctor so I wouldn't debate it, but I'd go with what other doctors said for the most part.

HGH isn't a steroid.
