'Bullet to the Head' Trailer: Stallone Will Also Shoot Things, Tell Old Guy Jokes

Just a day since Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand trailer hit the internet and already Sylvester Stallone has grumbled his veiny, sagging response: Bullet to the Head, an action film in which a heavily-tattooed Stallone also shoots guys and tells old guy jokes with an unlikely sidekick. In the film, Stallone plays a hitman whose hit-partner gets his throat slit at what may be the bar from Road House. Out for revenge, he somehow teams up with young local cop to go after his partner's murderer, an ex-mercenary symbolically played by Schwarzenegger surrogate Jason Momoa of Conan. Bickering/axe-fighting/Christian-Slater-homicide ensues.

Revenger never gets old! Ha ha, because Sylvester Stallone is old! Yet somehow not as miserably old as the old-guy jokes themselves: "they don't make records anymore!" jokes don't really work anymore.
