TRAILER

Since the trailer will hit sometime this week I thought it would be nice with a little hype thread to get the testosterone going.

Plot

The Expendables are back and this time it's personal... Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Lee Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time -- six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way....

Terry Crews with AA-12 shotgun, the real reason you will see this movie:

Didn't know a trailer was coming so soon, can't wait to see it.

thestopsign · (12-13-2011, 12:41 AM)

You're not Expendable.

alphaNoid · (12-13-2011, 12:45 AM)

I am a straight male, and I have a rock hard boner.

Rain_ng · (12-13-2011, 12:50 AM)

I prayed for this in the 80's. There is a God.

The Main Event · (12-13-2011, 12:50 AM)

Trailer this week?

I'm in.

ZoddGutts · (12-13-2011, 12:52 AM)

Hoping this time it's actually good.

Kabuki Waq · (12-13-2011, 12:53 AM)

I get the Feeling Jet li will only be in Cameo form

Skilotonn · (12-13-2011, 12:53 AM)

We have to wait till all the way in August? Damn.

agrajag · (12-13-2011, 12:54 AM)

Terry Crews is on dat horse meat.

Serious question, did you all really enjoy the first one? I thought it was a bit crap, and I love 80's action flicks. It was a mess of a movie. Still going to watch this though.

Lionel Mandrake · (12-13-2011, 12:55 AM)

First one sucked. This one better step it up.

-Deadpool- · (12-13-2011, 01:04 AM)

Crews. Holy shit.

Mindless action. Went into it not expecting anything but loads of shooting from my 80's action heroes. Loved it.

Can't wait for this one.

white dynamite · (12-13-2011, 01:09 AM)

Hahaha Chuck Norris. He better roundhouse kick someone in the face for the internet's sake.

Bleepey · (12-13-2011, 10:47 PM)

My body is ready.

HIGH DEF JEFF · (12-13-2011, 10:52 PM)

I will spend a lot of time in this thread....thanks Strafer!

I didn't really care for it. Of course, I'll still probably check this sequel out on day 1.

LiquidMetal14 · (12-13-2011, 10:56 PM)

Fucking dream cast right there. I mean, Van Damn!

He's the one who got abducted this time and the team has to go and save him.

Ken Masters · (12-13-2011, 11:01 PM)

JCVD returns to theaters, that alone makes it worth it

The credits at the top looks weird and the EX2 needs a better/bigger font.

That being said: cool poster.

x-Lundz-x · (12-13-2011, 11:15 PM)

Going to be the greatest action movie of all time. Bank on it.

I hope so. I wanted a great, over-the-top action movie out of E1 and it was a huge disappointment.

Discotheque · (12-13-2011, 11:16 PM)

omg, dat poster. The Rock for Ex 3 please. Better than Statham.

I am so stoked for this movie. I absolutely adore everyone in it. So great to JCVD getting on bored.... I still wish jackie chan was in this... Would cement it's title as Movie of forever....

Buckethead · (12-14-2011, 12:09 AM)

Arnold needs to grow the 5 o'clock shadow back ala End of Days.

I always liked that look on him, too bad the movie was garbage.

He was. This much is true.

TheKaeptain · (12-14-2011, 12:25 AM)

I really hope this movie is shot like an 80's movie and not a modern action flick. That was my biggest compliant about the first movie.

Shorty · (12-14-2011, 12:27 AM)

let's hope it's not shit like the first one

KamenSenshi · (12-14-2011, 12:28 AM)

Cant wait for this. The first was likely my favorite movie of the year it released. Still cant believe Sly and Arnold sharing a movie, it's like Sonic and Mario in a platformer. Almost.

strafer · 12:33 AM

Well the director is Simon West, the man behind this masterpiece.

So it will have action.

TheKaeptain · 12:50 AM

~~I've never seen "No Hotlinking Please" I take it is foreign?~~

You had to fix it and make me look dumb.

He's other movies have really sucked though.

Discotheque · (12-14-2011, 12:49 AM)

yeah, Con Air is an anomaly for this director.

lazybones18 · (12-14-2011, 12:56 AM)

Better not suck like the first one

Kuran · (12-14-2011, 12:57 AM)

Damn, it's a long wait. The first movie was really 'fun', for some reason I watched it more then once.. and I never do that!

Evolved1 · (12-14-2011, 01:06 AM)

The first one started so badly... I actually stopped watching it. But when I went back to it months later, there were seriously awesome scenes in the middle/end.

Kinda shit you just don't see in movies these days. Made it worth the time... I'm glad i gave it a second try.

JdFoX187 · (12-14-2011, 01:10 AM)

Simon West as director gives me hope this will be a little more traditional as far as action directing goes. For some reason, Stallone really loves the shaky cam, as exhibited in Rambo and ultimately The Expendables. West hasn't seemed to follow down that road yet. Con Air was cheese, but it as pure cheese and worked great. The Mechanic wasn't too bad, but the issues with that leaned more toward the shit script rather than the direction.

Schweini · (12-14-2011, 01:11 AM)

Who's the girl? I'm sure I've seen her before.

BY2K · (12-14-2011, 01:25 AM)

Not in 3D? But I want this movie to punch me in the face!

TheOMan · (12-14-2011, 01:35 AM)

Thanks for the heads up, looking forward to this and I definitely enjoyed the first one. I think I agree about Chuck looking out of place, but I'm stoked that JVCD signed on! Day one for sure. Now, where is Rambo 5?

JdFoX187 · (12-14-2011, 01:37 AM)

Rambo 5 has been ultimately canceled, thankfully. The original idea they had was something about Rambo chasing down a genetically enhanced killer somewhere in the Northeast, or something like that. Then he had an idea about Rambo going after a friend's family at the border. Ultimately, he said where Rambo left off was the best way to end the series, which makes sense.

I didn't hear anthing about another rambo.... I'm glad he's letting that series die. Rambo 4 was a pretty good ending imho
