(VIDEO) Kurt Russell Discusses His 1980s Action Roles

Promoting The Art of the Steal (review here) Kurt Russell has given a video interview with Yahoo.com and has spoken about his 1980s movies from The Thing to Tango & Cash.  It’s a good interview that you should check out and full of anecdotes.

But it does remind me that Kurt Russell is still a hypocrite.  He says in the video that Stallone came to him for Tango & Cash.  He accepted.  Stallone came to him for The Expendables, he did not accept.  Stallone is not as big a name these days, right?  So for Kurt Rusell to shit on The Expendables as ‘looking back’, he sure does use his old movies from the 1980s to sell his current movie here.

Still it’s difficult to stay angry at Russell, at least, not in the same way as Bruce Willis who really has turned out to be a total dickhead.  Even so much as requiring a punch in the mouth from John Cusack.

Anyway, here’s Russell…
