Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis

Sylvester Stallone has let the cat out of the bag on what that soon-to-be cult status scene from The Expendables featuring Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis will entail. They'll be smack talking each other.

If you didn't already know, The Expendables is about a squad of mercenaries hired to overthrow a South American dictator, but after setting out on their mission they realize they've been left by themselves and must fight not only the dictator, but his army and also the government that set them up.

The scene in question, which takes place in a church with all three actors together for the first time on-screen, was shot last week over a period of 6 hours which, in the end, will translate to around 5 minutes of screen time.

Bruce Willis plays a character that brings in Stallone to size him up for the mission. But as a smack-talk conversation gets going, in walks Schwarzenegger - the second killer-for-hire Willis invited to the meeting.

What do you get when you cross an awesome sounding heavy metal band with song lyrics inspired by the best Arnold Schwarzenegger movies? Austrian Death Machine, that's what.

Have a look/listen at their Predator inspired track from their Total Brutal album, 'Get To The Choppa', and see why I think these guys rock (pun intended, even if it's chronic and overdone).

Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Commando', Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard', Sylvester Stallone in 'Rambo'

Three of histories greatest action heroes: Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Commando', Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard', Sylvester Stallone in 'Rambo: First Blood Pt II''

I can't wait for The Expendables, and today's news only serves to add fuel to that fire.

For the first time ever, and in what is arguably one of the most monumental moments in action movie history, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone shared screen time together in a scene for The Expendables.

The scene in question took about six hours to film, and whilst no images have been released as yet, there's a fairly detailed write up courtesy of Maria Lascala on her Ethelmae Blog. She announced the moment via her twitter account: @marialascala.

Unfortunately no details are to hand about what the scene entailed, but even if these guys are just sitting around drinking coffee, that'll do.

All I can think about now is what a douche Jean Claude Van Damme is for turning down a role in the movie that will forever act as THE record of who were the top action stars of our time.  He must feel like a right twat now, although, perhaps he realized he just wasn't up to to the cut.  That's probably it.
