I mean, that’s obvious, right? Because that’s just what he did in the cult classic, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Nermar (Noxeema Jackson)Īfter starring in macho movies like Demolition Man, New Jack City, and Passenger 57, the next move for Wesley Snipes was obviously to throw on a wig and dress in drag. Between this and Money Train, I put Snipes right up there with other action stars of the ‘90s like Jackie Chan, Stallone, and Schwarzenegger. Not by a long shot, and Snipes’ coolness lifts this film off the ground to create a badass action movie that is often quite silly, but always awesome. But Wesley Snipes is not the mystery that is Steven Seagal. Passenger 57 could have dovetailed and been an airborne version of Under Siege. But you already knew that, right? It’s pretty much this film’s most famous line of dialogue. Remember that “always bet on black” line I used in the intro? Yeah, that’s from this movie. It probably went something like this: It’s like Die Hard … but on a plane! Because that pretty much sums up the plot of Passenger 57, which single-handedly made Wesley Snipes an action star overnight. I can already picture the elevator pitch for Passenger 57. And now I am wondering why the hell those two can’t show up on screen for the fourth The Expendables.(Image credit: Warner Bros. Waugh cut his teeth on the two action thrillers Act of Valor and Need for Speed, though his most recent film, Snafu, stars John Cena and Jackie Chan. The press release announcing the fourth The Expendables movie reveals that Scott Waugh will direct the feature, taking over the reins from Patrick Hughes, who helmed The Expendables 3 back in 2014. In addition to these four core cast members, The Expendables 4 (not the official title) will feature Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Megan Fox, and Tony Jaa, who have been tapped to join the franchise in new roles. They have all been part of the franchise since the original The Expendables, and at this moment, they are the only holdovers from the other Expendables films. Lionsgate revealed today that frequent Expendables stars Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture and Sylvester Stallone will lead the team for The Expendables 4, reprising their roles as Lee Christmas, Gunner Jensen, Toll Road, and Barney Ross respectively.
