I just think it's kind of funny that two scenes that maybe are about 2 minutes each in a heavy action movie are being called a "chore"

On the other side, I really enjoyed Stallone's Eulogy scene and his acting during the one Hemsworth scene. His young idealism shows him an alternate life where everyone he knows doesn't die. I know at the end of the day he barely touched on these, but it's an interesting idea I would love to see explored in a more serious war film.

I've just watched the deleted scenes on DVD. Once again, they left out some pretty great scenes which would have, for me, made up for some of the drawbacks in the film.

Scene of Yu Nan kicking ass was cut. Scene of dual ass kickings from Crews and Couture was also cut. In fact, lots of Yu Nan scenes were cut.
