In all candor, in all seriousness — The Expendables is only a little bit better than this 1973 piece of shit. The announcer is required to say “Black Mama, White Mama” about eight or nine times, and it starts getting really hilarious around the fifth time. The poor guy uses every inflection trick in the book to not sound like a putz, but he can’t beat it. The seed, of course, was Stanley Kramer‘s The Defiant Ones (’58).
