The Extendables (also known as Action Hero) is a 2014 American parody film created by and starring Brian Thompson. The film is a parody of The Expendables and similar action movies. Thompson said it contained actual events he had witnessed.[1] The film was released on iTunes.[2]
Plot
The film begins with Brian Thompson's explanation that the movie is his answer to the question: "What's it like to work with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme?" By combining the distinguishable features of these movie stars, he created one fictional character, Vardell Duseldorfer or VD. VD is an aged and retired action movie star who is now a drug addict and alcoholic. VD plans to return to fame through directing and starring in a science fiction movie called Hard Times on Mars.[3]
As shooting for the film begins, it is clear that VD is out of touch and not performing. VD refuses to alter the poorly-written script, breaks sets, and states that he no longer wants to release the movie. At the peak of the chaos, VD suffers a heart attack.[3]
Following his heart attack, VD's attends the premiere of his movie in Los Angeles, which, as it turns out, is a great success.[3]
