It needed a fight scene!!!


I thought there would of been a fight scene in this movie, especially at the end between Sly and Antonio. It would'nt of been much, just a few punchs, but it would've been good, and it would've made it better....What do you think?

I totally agree with you Brett. At least maybe a few punches and a few body blows or throws would be nice. I can sort of picture Stallone tossing Banderas sideways against some weak wall and it ends up breaking. Or I can see Banderas getting some kind of chair and breaking it on Stallone's either his head or his back. And for the bonus, they should have some kind of sarcastic, mocking, taunting dialogue while they'd be both on the floor trying to cach their breath or recovery from a couple of hits. That's what I think, Brett. Now, tell me what YOU think.

Miguel wouldn't have stood a chance against Rath in a fight scene! He def would have needed be packing something to protect himself.

A knife fight scene would have been wonderful. You would think two world-class assassins would be pretty good with a blade.

One thing the film did a good job of was showing how resourceful these 2 guys were when caught in a tricky situation. They improvised. So they may have been good without their guns!

no i think it was better the way it was it makes a change from previous action films sylvester stallone has starred in such as the specialist and cobra. it is way more sophisticated and slick than other action films in the past and present i especially enjoy the silenced gun action scenes there awesome. i seem to find my self watching this film again and again.

Stallone would've dropped Banderas with one punch. I liked Banderas' handling of the guns, which reminded me of his physicality in Desperado. But in a fistfight?

Stallone looked strong.

True but it depends if it was near the end, because at the end of the film, Bain's in bad shape, tending to his wounds, Rath could've taken him out in fistfight but earlier in the film, Bain could've gotten the better of him, he's much more energetic & very unpredictable. I think both guys could do well in a fight.

I agree, it was better without any fist fight and stuff, that's TOO Stallone. This was more sophisticated. I was positively surprised by this film overall, one of my favorite Stallone films ever.

Yea but also this film is about snipers and killers not combat fighters. Why would they go combat when they are the most skilled in the world all they need is one shot?
