Should you take the old?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that 100% of the "old mercenaries" in the story are pointing at the real situation of these "old actors".
The strongest enemy of the Bloody Mercenary Corps is not Mel Gibson or Van Damme, but the fact of aging.
Veterans will eventually pass away, old friends are worth cherishing, old age is helpless; for the ideal of fighting and to make ends meet, old mercenaries still have to pick up their guns, clenched their fists, and continue fighting.

So, after watching this episode, you don’t need to watch the first two episodes.
Because the script and performance written by Stallone this time broke the core spirit of the first two episodes that was not expressly stated, but not allegorical: "Should you take the old?"
Stallone also understood what the audience could see. After all, will come to support this movie scene, how many people are really coming for the new generation of B coffee? Of course, they are all the big boys and girls who watched the old bones grow up. They regarded entering the theater as their duty, and held the "Blood Quest" series three times.
Stallone started playing this time, with a lot of words about platinum.

Some of the impressions are:

1.
Harrison Ford: "The church is over, I will take over."
(Haha, scold Bruce Willie out of the crew, and let Harry, who is the heaviest in the film industry, get out of the crew. Johnson Ford is concerned, bitch full degree)

2.
席维思史特Long: "the young man's game, Meiyi Zhao I can do it."
(elderly love to mention past glories, let alone rely on martial arts started Stallone to see? Looking at the tricks of the young people in front of you, it is only natural to want to use your mouth to show off your prestige.)

3.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I said it was a lie to retire!"
(Governor, it doesn’t need to be emphasized. I want to continue my fourth spring...)

4.
Antonio Banderas: "Young is just a state of mind."
(Has the soul of the masked man Su Luo return to the martial arts studio again?)

5.
Sylvester Stallone & Harrison Ford: "We had a great time working together."
(Well, stop biting Bruce Willie...)


This episode is also unexpectedly full of character creation and arrangement. rational. The number of people is getting more and more complicated, how to sort out the differences between each other except for the halo of the past stars, you can see that Stallone is better at screenwriting.
As for the martial arts that most audiences are looking forward to, I think it's enough to pick a few martial arts in three episodes. When there are more people, the fights will become more and more alike. When people are old, they can only use guns to cover up their physical decline. If they don't, they have to use substitutes. As far as I can see, Mel Gibson's use rate of doubles is too high. He is in his 50s and not as tough as Stallone in his 70s.

Unless you love Jet Li or Bruce Willie or Van Damme very much, you must watch their appearances, otherwise in the "Blood Mission" trilogy, I give this episode the highest evaluation.
Talking about the replacement of actors recently, it can be said that no movie is more convincing than such an old drama (average age of 45!), more qualified to be self-deprecating and mocking people, isn't it?
