This is every bit as good as The Expendables, if not better. Seeing how Stallone almost killed himself to make the movie is inspiring. Much respect for that man.

NOT AN EXPENDABLE DOC
When I saw this feature length documentary about Sylvester Stallone directing THE EXPENDABLES for the first time I was about to shoot my first action movie and I remember that I thought it's one of the best contemporary behind the scenes documentaries out there.
A couple films later I revisited it and you know what? It's even more impressive and fascinating watching it now as an "oh THAT'S the way HE did it (and almost got himself killed in the process)" experience.
I'm going on record calling this one of the best contemporary docs about making movies from a director's POV. I'm sure I haven't watched it the last time. Could've been even longer for me.

I'm watching this because I don't have the energy to focus on a story and, as expecting, I didn't really follow the whole thing but, for what I saw it was interesting.
The possum at the end made me fully wake up. -
Genuinely one of the most inspiring things I've seen in a long time!!
Stallone is a man that I'm a colossal fan of. He's inspired me as an actor, writer and director. So seeing his passion in motion was something I needed to see.
This documentary shows everything from the fun times, the wholesome moments, the injuries, to the blood sweat and tears all for the love of filmmaking. It's filled with so many amazing quotes that'll live with me forever and some great bts moments. Although some of it can be hard to watch like filming the Stone Cold fight which no joke gave me a lot of anxiety.
This really just showcases how smart of a dude Sly…

Really cool look into the making of an action banger. Most humble thing I’ve heard in a long time is when Sly and co. are shooting in Brazil and they’re going crazy for him and he’s like it took me 30 years to realize that’s not about me. It’s about the Rocky character that’s universal and everyone loves.

I know that the scholars likely won't be writing much about The Expendables movies, but there is a lot of merit to obtain from Inferno, the feature length making of doc on the first film in the series. You can tell that Stallone really gave it his all while directing, writing, and starring in The Expendables. His exhaustion and tiredness comes off full force here. While you may not agree that he made a great product, that man did not give up and truly pushed his body to the limit making this movie.

Very extensive look into the making of this huge passion project of Sly Stallone's. Great for anyone who loves a look behind the scenes of movies.
-
A little documentary about Sly's terrible luck during the making of the first "Expendables" is fun, but rarely cohesive. It lacks a lot of focus and structure for it to work. It's more of a fan bonus than anything else.
-
surprisingly, this was more engaging and more entertaining than any film in this franchise. it's just a solid making-of doc with a lot of fun anecdotes from Stallone, interesting to see his creative process and how far he'll push himself in pursuit of his art, it's honestly quite admirable. personally I still think the final result is a bit lacking, but I respect the amount of effort poured into making it, definitely makes me respect the movie a bit more at least.

Interesting making of The Expendables film which assembles several renowned action film stars, Inferno features good interviews with the cast and crew and why and how the film came to be. The Expendables managed to be a fun action film that assembled icons of the genre, and Inferno is a well made making of documentary on the film.
It's short, but a fun watch if you're interested in how the film was made. Inferno is no different from other making ofs, it's straight to the point and features interviews with the cast and crew that were involved in the film.
