As friends and actors who acted as a trio alongside Sylvester Stallone in the movie, Expendables, his response to his dear friend’s retirement are heartfelt, showing the bond between the action film stars. He says, "I understand that under his circumstances, health-wise, that he had to retire. But in general, you know, we never really retire. Action heroes, they reload." In reference to action movies where characters truly never stop, they instead reload, and possibly a reference to his famous scene in Terminator 2, where he reloads his gun while seated in a moving motorbike.
