It Just Keeps Getting Crazier

From this BBC article I learned that Sylvester Stallone broke his neck while shooting fight scenes for his upcoming movie. Come to find out that he was injured during a fight scene with the wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin! Then I come to find out that movie also stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, and Mickey Rourke (and also Jason Statham, though that's less exciting)!! As in, all of them together! It's a dream come true! The movie is about a team of mercenaries who embark on a mission to overthrow a dictator (genius storyline!). The scent of their aging, action movie has-been flesh must be overwhelming during filming! Then I come to find out that the film also features the now-deceased Brittany Murphy. This movie is insane! It's almost too good to be true.

BFFs!

Back to Stallone's injury...he had to get surgery and have a metal plate inserted into his neck. He's 63 years old and still making these kind of movies. Ironically, the movie (which is also written and directed by Stallone) is called The Expendables. Take a hint, Stallone. And it sounds like he tries to pass off his injury like it's not that he's old, it's just he's so hardcore. He explained, "Man, it was seven guys, kicking each other's ass; one guy tougher than the next. No joke, our stunt guys were begging for mercy." Nice try, Stallone. You got injured because you're 63. If you keep that up, you're going to have to have a Medicare representative on the set at all times.

He's so old, he's older than my parents! Oh snap!
