Jackie Chan Explains Why He Turned Down Expendables 2 And 3 by Swiftboy(m): 7:56pm On Aug 17, 2014
Yeah 'The Expendables' is probably the most star-studded movie franchise in history and most people wonder why such a film will leave-out the legendary Jackie Chan?

On the list of "shoulda-been-Expendables," Jackie Chan ranks pretty highly. He's one of the more highly-decorated members of the Action Hero Hall Of Fame, and he's done movies with several of the people in The Expendables 3, including Sylvester Stallone (Burn, Hollywood Burn: An Alan Smithee Film), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Around The World In 80 Days) and Jet Li (Forbidden Kingdom). So why hasn't he got the call to show up in any of the movies in the trilogy? Perhaps the better question is, why hasn't he answered the call?
In an interview with Den Of Geek, Chan claims that while he's obviously being sought forExpendables 4, he's simply not a fan of the format of these films.

"...this morning I did hear - the office called - Sly [Stallone] wants me for Expendables 4. I said, ‘Okay.’ Because they already asked me to be in two and three, but I refused. Well, I didn’t refuse, but I said, ‘Sly, can’t we just do you and me? Not just a bunch of people and me only coming out for five minutes.’ Because then the audience is, ‘Oh!’ And then I’m gone."
