Not much to say about the new trailer for THE EXPENDABLES 2 other than holy shit! This movie looks like one big explosion – with maybe two dozen lovably corny one-lines thrown in (“I now pronounce you man and knife!”). Essentially, everything one could ask for in a sequel to the first high-octane action-adventure.
There are a handful of great-looking moments, but I’m personally stoked for that Chuck Norris reveal… Though the sequence with Arnold and Bruce in the smart car should be a certified blast.
Directed by Simon West, here’s how THE EXPENDABLES 2 breaks down: Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason 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.
THE EXPENDABLES 2 opens on AUGUST 17th.
