July 24, 2010 -- As came to light yesterday in the news, while Sylvester Stallonedecided to use Brazil as a location for his film'Expendables,' he eagerly put down the South American country during a talk in San Diego.
Before heading off to Camp Pendleton on Friday, Sly spoke on a panel at Comic-Com, creating quite the controversy. He talked up his extremely violent flick that has an over-the-hill gang of mercenaries make an attempt to overthrow a Latin American dictator.
Through ScreenCrave, theRocky actor told the eager crowd in Southern California:
'You can shoot people and blow things up and they say, ‘Thank you! Take a monkey home with you!’ We couldn’t have pulled off what we did [somewhere else]. We blew up huge plots of land. It was like, Everybody bring their hot dogs. We’re having a BBQ today. We’re gonna blow up this village.'
Further, Stallone also had negative things to say -- even though he did so in not-so-funny joke form -- about both the Rio police and Brazil security in general. And so, as the actor puts down the country in which he shot 'Expendables' film, no doubt the filmmaker is expendable when it comes to the people of Brazil and practically anyone else who really cares about diplomacy.
