Per WP:FUTURE this article was created in response to a trailer that was released. Other than that, there is no coverage on anything else. Truthsort (talk) 23:36, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'l be back after I expand and source the aticle. I think it will be easy to find stuff on a completed film due out in 4 months that stars Danny Trejo, Charles S. Dutton, Ron Perlman and Jillian Murray. We'll see. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:59, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Just a quick search is bringing up sources, some of which are debating whether or not the film is real or is an elaborate April Fool's prank. (Since it releases in April.)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:13, 30 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
Keep per improvements and sourcing provided by Tokyogirl79 and myself and the nearness of release. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:22, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Incubate. The Mail Online source is reasonable, but the rest that have been added are no substitute for reliable sources. Not enough significant coverage to merit an article yet. --Michig (talk) 07:15, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per the expansion done by Tokoyogirl and Michael. Lugnuts (talk) 10:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm happy too with the rescue effort by Tokyogirl79 and Michael, which strongly suggests the article meets WP:GNG. --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 00:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The sources used only mention the trailer. There is no further coverage on the production or any other aspect of this film. The release date is an estimate. This is not sufficient enough for an article. Truthsort (talk) 01:47, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Response: While certainly there is a lot of recent coverage because of the trailer, the VERY first souce in the artricle is from JoBlo from May 2011,[1] speaking about Danny Trejo's involvement in the film and it having back then wrapped production... and is not about the trailer. Just sayin'. And while the film's title makes searches problematic because many un-related articles about Trejo refer to him AS a "bad ass". we persevere, look deeper, and use some of the other actor's names in our seraces. For instance, "Shalim Ortiz" +"Bad Ass" brings us articles not trailer-related... such as Fox News June 2011, (picked up by a host of others) speaking about Shalim Ortiz being in Bad Ass and mentioning (then) plans for the film to screen at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. It didn't, but the news report is not about the trailer. And AOL Latino of March 31, 2011, is also not about the tailer. I think it is reasonable to expect even more coverage.
