"Sylvester Stallone has credited his and Arnold Schwarzenegger&amp;#039;s classic films with ushering in a &amp;quot;golden age of hardcore action films&amp;quot;. Stallone became an international superstar with hits such as the Rocky and Rambo franchises, while Schwarzenegger led the Terminator series for many years.  In an interview with Flicks and Bits, Stallone insisted that his and Schwarzenegger&amp;#039;s new movie Escape Plan is very different from their earlier work. &amp;quot;We were on a parallel career course during what I would call the gold age of hardcore action films, but this is something new,&amp;quot; he insisted.  The actor continued: &amp;quot;[Escape Plan] is not just guns, flames and bombs. Our characters really have to use their brains to get out.  &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a tremendous amount of action in it, but it is very much a thinking man&amp;#039;s adventure, and it plays into the mature part of our careers.&amp;quot;  He is also discussed Escape Plan&amp;#039;s inevitable showdown between his and Schwarzenegger&amp;#039;s character as they attempt to break out of jail. &amp;quot;For Arnold and I not to physically clash in the film, I think that would be a tremendous disappointment,&amp;quot; Stallone declared.  The action movie icon further explained: &amp;quot;It seems like I&amp;#039;ve gone through just about every cinematic character, from Mr T, to Dolph Lundgren, to Apollo Creed, to Hulk Hogan, and hundreds of others... but this would probably be the last one.  &amp;quot;I thought Jean-Claude Van Damme was going to be the last one in The Expendables 2, but then there was Arnold. We had to give the audience a certain kind of satisfaction to really play into what people have wanted to see for many years. So people are expecting fireworks and they get it.&amp;quot; Stallone recently admitted that he had a &amp;quot;violent hatred&amp;quot; of Schwarzenegger at the height of their respective careers. Escape Plan is now playing in the US and the UK. Watch a trailer below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
