Stallone hardly directed `Expendables` co-stars
The actor-and-filmmaker - who appears in the action blockbuster alongside Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Arnold Schwarzenegger - admits it was tough trying to convince his cast to try new things on set.
He said: "Was it tough? Yes. You get these strong men who have a certain way of doing things on a film, and you have to get them to give that up.
"Like Jason in this film is totally different than in anything he`s ever done. Dolph Lundgren is totally different."
Despite his difficulties, the 64-year-old Hollywood star was thrilled to be able to get so many action legends involved in the project.
He added: "The thing was to find certain personalities and put them all together like a dream team.
"I wanted to do a film a bit like `the Magnificent Seven` or `The Dirty Dozen`. One of those that only comes along once in a while."
