Arnold Schwarzenegger's A Terrible Artist In New 'Escape Plan' Clip

Escape Plan stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, two of the greatest action stars of all-time. Even at their advanced age they can still go, and the marketing boys were smart enough to have them brawling in the first official clip released a few days ago. The latest piece of footage wants you to know they can also be funny when called upon, or at least that seems to be the plan.

Stallone stars as security expert Ray Breslin, who is betrayed and tossed into a maximum security prison of his own design. He doesn't appear in this clip, however, instead focusing on Schwarzenegger's inmate character who helps Breslin mount a prison break. Jim Caviezel plays the warden who is none-too-pleased with Schwarzenegger's map drawing skills, or lack thereof.

Escape Plan opens on October 18th and co-stars 50 Cent, Amy Ryan, and Vinnie Jones.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone Fight in First 'Escape Plan' Clip

We've seen Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone team up over the last couple of years in The Expendables, but how many times have we seen them brawl? Well....you kind of get to see it in this first clip from Escape Plan, in which they play both play prisoners inside a maximum security prison. A keen eye on the editing will show that most of it was done by stunt doubles, but left to the imagination it's cool to see these two aging war horses come to blows.

Directed by Mikael Hafstrom, the film centers on Ray Breslin (Stallone), a security expert framed and sent into an impenetrable prison of his own design. Needing help to escape, he turns to longtime inmate Emil Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger), and this footage seems to be of the first phase in their plan.

If Escape Plan starred anybody else we'd be gauging exactly how much it would go for in the DVD bin, but instead we'll see it in theaters on October 18th. Check out the clip below, and if you're dying for more there's also a couple of TV spot.

First Trailer For 'Escape Plan' Starring Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Outside of The Expendables, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have found it tough getting audiences to care about pretty much anything they're doing. Stallone bombed hard with the insipid Bullet to the Head, and the Arnie couldn't draw any heat for The Last Stand. Both are part of this movement to bring back the old school days of action movie glory, and so far it's been a massive fail. But that's not going to stop them from trying, and Escape Plan has Rambo and the Terminator teaming up for a little prison break.

The first full trailer for the film has been released, and basically it looks like a "put your brain in neutral" genre flick with roles Stallone and Schwarzenegger could play in their sleep. Stallone plays Ray Breslin, a security expert framed and locked up in an inescapable prison of his own design. Of course he'll attempt it anyway, aided by Schwarzenegger as a thoughtful inmate thirsting for a taste of the outside world. This looks like boilerplate stuff, directed without a hint of flourish by Miles Chapman (Road House 2!!!!) but it's always a treat to see these two old war horses on screen together. Maybe it'll be worth it for that reason alone.

Co-starring Amy Ryan, 50 Cent, Vinnie Jones, and Jim Caviezel, Escape Plan opens on October 18th.
