In the 1980s and 90s, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were engaged in an ongoing battle to become the number one star in America. On the one hand you had Stallone, who, after catapulted to the Ardwarr with Rocky in 1976, maintained his view as a list of A-Essen by becoming an archetypal action hero in the "Rambo" saga. That franchise began in 1982 with something based on a veterinarian's character in Vietnam, persecuted by his experiences abroad before being transferred to the embodiment of macho-festivals in the 1980s that we now associate with the decade. Meanwhile, despite that Thinking of Jamesesheims Cameron's "Terminator" scenario had no potential, Schwarzenegger He agreed to star in the low-budget science sci-Fi in 1984, immediately became a Starvar as a result. Then, he led some of the most beloved action films of the 80's and 90's, and all the time he and similarly took some pretty obvious pockets to each other. How Schwarzenegger put it during a fantastic Q&A festival"It was a competition for who had the biggest gun and then who uses the biggest knife.

The rivalry was much more than a friendly quarrel, also with every actor trying to disrupt the other's career for years. One of the greatest moments in this current battle was when Schwarzenegger deceived Stallone in a starring in the flop that was "stop! Or my mother will shoot. " One year after the Austrian oak starred in one of the biggest action films ever made with "Terminator 2: The Day of the verdict", his rival was ahead of a comedy of action, which became a disaster at the box office.

At that time, the idea of ​​a movie starring these two party cinemas was at best. That's why it was a great deal to see the couple before the thriller for action in prison in 2013. At least, that would It was a big deal if Hollywood veterans were still in the wake of their careers. As it emerged, the "Escape Plan" came in 2013 and went without much fanfare. As such, the anticlimactic team remains something of Curio in the long joint history of the stars, especially since it caused two follow -up directly to the video, which were even worse than the original.

By the 2000s, both Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have reached simultaneously in their careers. Arnie was trying to regain his glorious years In the 2000s the science-flop "Day 6" (at least he was paid $ 25 million for efforts) And the same was close to washed as he once was, struggling to get every studio to support his rocky rocky movie (which will eventually happen in 2006 as like "Rocky Balboa", the film that saved the Rocky franchise).

This is where things have become really interesting, because after Rocky Balboa, Stallone has come up with a new prestige that he has put down in the films "Expendables"-a series that paid a harmbox to over-the-view actions that Stalone and his long-running rival were so integral. To date, the couple seems to have patched things up, with Arni appearing in all three films in the franchise. Then, what was unthinkable during the height of the couple's rivalry suddenly became a reality with a "escape plan", a 2013 prison thriller, which saw the co-Gloum "Stallone and Schwarzenegger". While the duo had technical co-glows in two films "Expendables", those projects showed both actors as parts of a larger ensemble. The "Escape Plan", however, was a real team-in-line of Stallone/Schwarzenegger.

The film showed that she was playing Ray Breslin, a security analyst who has the unexpected approach to his work by putting high security prisons and trying to break out in order to point out his security weaknesses. Once that wind is actually closed to the safest prison in the world, known only as "tomb", he must use his professional skills to get out of prison. He then hangs out with his prisoner, Emil Rothmayer (Schwarzenegger), who is more than happy to help Breslin in his mission.

Directed by Swedish director Michael Hafstrom, "The Escape Plan" only avoided being a full flop thanks to an international treasurer, which moved the film to a $ 103 million global download. Critics were, at best, the project, however, which currently carries a devastating average score of 50% of Rotten tomatoes. We would think that with some insecure numbers at the box office and less than an impressive critical response, Stallone and Schwarzenegger will leave him there. Well, the second did. The former? Well, he drove this job in the country.

IF "Escape Plan," which featured the mode of screen Legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, was Sylvester Stallone's Plan A, so to Speak, then 2018's "Escape Plan 2: Hades" Felt Very Much Like A Plan B. Tho. Say that if the first Movie Featuring Sly's Former Rival Didn' Dave Bautista and 50 cents.

It is clear that the Lionsgate distributor knew that the "flight plan" in 2013 did not do enough to guarantee another theater release in the United States, so the Hades extension went straight to the video here and received a small release at international level. As you can expect, the film was not good. In fact, it is one of the films with the lowest ranking of Stallone on rotten tomatoes, and he has a few stinks there (this is the man who brought us "Judge Dred", the stupid film of science fiction to predict our frightening present). A low 7% RT score was certainly not hoped for the same, even though Bautista depicts a much more impressive course in the years that could not do much to save this tracking.

Not that matters when you have Critics Calling the movie "Extremely meaningless and incomprehensible", but the sequel was seen by Ray Breslin and his team specialists rescue their associate, Ju Rehn (Huang Xiaoming), from allegedly inevitable prison. This narrative not only made some truly spoiled reviews, but also resulted in taking over the $ 16.6 million box office from a limited international theater, and $ 4.2 million reported to take over the domestic domestic market - almost enough to return its $ 20 million budget.

Surely, then, this was the film that was penetrated by Stallone from his prison to inflame DTV shareholders? No. There is a third film: "Flat Plan: Excerpts". It may surprise you that this was actually doing better critically than "Hades". However, the "extractors" tried to be a worse film than his predecessor, with NPRTim Kogshell understands the movie "Terrible" and surpasses her only reason for existence was "Hong Kong's market (film)". This can provide an insight into why Dave Bautista would agree with these films. After the first carrying his international treasurer, Lyonsgate and Starswells seem to have been looking forward to trying to complain in that market to move forward. No one in American theaters would have seen it, and that was probably for the best. Meanwhile, global audiences will see the film very much and secure sly and co. with a decent day.

If fancy traveling through the trilogy of a prison break thriller, /the movie has already fallen apart Proper order to watch the "Escape Plan" films.
