There's Certainly No Shortage Of Shit Blowing Up In The New Trailer For THE EXPENDABLES 2!!
The Kidd here...
So I'm guessing there's going to be more shit blowing up, more ass-kicking and more Schwarzenegger and Willis with a side of Van Damme this time around.
The new trailer for THE EXPENDABLES 2 has come around today (via IGN), and I think it's about what you'd expect.
Enjoy the explosions.

I'll be there first matinee I can. Looks better than the first.

gave me an action boner.
-
That was beautiful. Really. I second that action boner.
-
at least it looks like Van Damme is the bad guy!

Sly, I love you, but you're looking a bit like Cliff Robertson.
by Cletus Van Damme
I think if Willis and Stallone swapped roles, it'd be damned near perfect.
-
Where are good films?
-
Looks much better than the first!
-
Sparkle comes out that weekend...
-
Grapefruit is probably dead already.
-
I mean, the other one wasn't very good. And here I am wanting to see this one. Stupid action heroes.
-
did not mind the lack of blood. Looks like a good nostalgia trip.
-
Well lets see the Avengers take on these Muthakunuckers!!!!
-
EPIX airs the first movie
-
Then my dick exploded. Sold.
-
Shit, who am I kidding? I'll probably see it. Damn you nostalgia. You get me every time.
-
It's here again, guys, in full fucking force.
-
but loads of boy fun. Hey, even my wife liked it. This looks even better - We'll be there (or back?)
-
I was sort of underwhelmed by the hype of the first one. This actually looks like it might kick some ass.
-
I hope that this wasn't actually shot as a PG-13 and force-fed a few F-bombs and some blood to make it an "R". My ass will be in the theater seat opening weekend but this could go either way.
-
Your movie is called the ExpendableS 2. You missed the S when you introduced it. Just FYI. Love ya, dude.

WHEN DID BRUCE WILLIS HAVE HIS PERSONALITY TRANSPLANT? HE SEEMS LIKE HE'S NOT HAVING FUN ANYMORE. ISN'T HE BANGING SOME YOUNG BROAD? CHEER UP, BRUCE!
by Darth Busey
-
I feel sorry for your lame ass.
-
Just like the first one
-
Check that shot of Van Damme & his goons strutting through the airport -- One of those goons is Scott Adkins of Undefeated 2 & 3 fame (the most complete fighter in the world). This trailer looks better than all of Expendables 1. JCVD looks bad ass.
-
What's with all these movies coming out a decade late? Yeah, you have my $10.
-
May 3, 2012, 1:13 p.m. CST
I did not want to...but I could not help but smile when Arnie spat out his famous line. Guess I am in on this one.
by mr. faded glory
Looks like what it should be. Fucking beautiful.
-
I did like the director's cut of The Expendables much better than the theatrical but the overall story was rather dull and no amount of re-editing could change that. This looks EPIC and the story has more of a global threat. They've got my 10 bucks. Hopefully it's good enough for them to get my 20 for the Blu.
-
it wasn't a "good" movie by a long shot...but I thought it was so fun. Pure Stupid Fun. This looks more of the same. I just want there to be more Terry Crews...love that guy.
-
May 3, 2012, 1:15 p.m. CST
looks promising, first was underwhelming. but i think they've rectified the problems.

scott adkins is great but lol @ "the most complete fighter in the world"
by Waka_Flocka
he wouldn't even call himself that.
-
You fan boy fuckers need to stop wanking over this shit and find yourself a girl and get laid....
-
Steven Seagal's involved in a lawsuit with one of the producers of The Expendables so he turned down a part. Seems like a dumb move for both of them. One extra name on the credits could bring in even more fans.
-
first one had its moments, but I'm there on sheer star power alone.
-
definitely more fun and probably doesn't waste an hour getting the whole team together and no shitty cgi.
-
May 3, 2012, 1:21 p.m. CST
the trick with arnie throwing away the car doors looks really bad!
by anaisNiN
you can see the rotation goes one direction when it follows the gravity and then it is like some kind of a wire that the doors are hanging on changes the rotation in unrealistic way... it destroys a moment that is perfect in all other aspects... and the face that Dolph Lundgren gives in 0:54 is superb!
-
Has that ever been done before?
-
its obvious, sly has one foot in the future and he needs to leave some action heros out from EX2. if he can kiss and make up with Danny Trejo he should be EX3
-
All the explosions in the world cannot make me give a rat's ass about this movie.
-
this may not suck, Allah be praised :-)
-
That's the real question.
-
As in: no shitty CGI explosions.
-
And I want more movies like this, i'll spend money on it
-
How I've missed thee...
-
I actually didnt mind that
-
And when did Schwarzenegger get replaced by a Muppet? His mouth looks like its opens and closes on a single hinge. Stuff blows up real good though. And Simon West looks like he's added a little sheen to the mayhem. A six-pack rental for sure.
-
...if you want it...here it is!
-
If you combine the ages of the old farts it comes out to older than planet earth! If i had their money i'd be sitting by a pool enjoying a well deserved retirement. Sly's had more facelifts than Joan Rivers!
-
Hopefully gives us well constructed action scenes unlike the first film.
-
Not particularly great, but not terrible either. But it did have on thing in spades: potential. If this sequel realizes the potential of the first, as this trailer seems to indicate, then I'll be one happy action-fan. The important thing with the Expendables isn't just the practical effects or the large cast, it's that everyone is really having fun with it. Sometimes I wish more movies would just remember to have fun and I'm really grateful that Sly and his troop of badass individuals haven't forgotten that.
-
Are likely on Social Security disability with borderline diabetes and are chronically obese despite only being in their early 20's Most of you are going to die soon and you know this to be true
-
That looked really fun. And I could actually see what was going on! And Arnold ripping the door off a smart car? C'mon, how did that not make you smile?
-
I now pronounce you man and knife!
-
Barney's Christmas Inc. I grinned from ear to ear when Arnie said "I'm back!" Yeah, you got my fiver ...
-
May 3, 2012, 2:01 p.m. CST

I loved the first film. This one looks even better! All my film heroes back again!!!!!!!!!! Fuck Yeah!!
-
May 3, 2012, 2:08 p.m. CST
"I now pronounce you man and knife" shoulda been Arnold's line!!!
by Chris
it's too perfect to NOT give him
-

I'll bet Arnold had a big-ass grin on his face after he got to shoot that gun! Ahhh, familiar times.

Junior Seau would still be with us.

The trailer was great! Random shots of objects exploding doesn't do anything for me, but the personality bits are terrific fun. Corny one-liners, looks like everyone gets some action, Van Damme as the main baddie, Arnold hamming it up (so nice to see after all this time) - all good, fun stuff. Interesting to see how they all fit together - Willis & Arnold seem to be in their own little side-plot together, and Norris is all alone in these shots. Hopefully Norris will be about more than just guns. Yeah, it's silly, hammy, and full of cliches. But it's fun - that's what those films were always about. Unrealistic, cartoony theater full of guys that you like. About the only thing I don't like about this is how most of it is drained of all color - that flat, desaturated blue look to everything takes a lot of energy out of things, and it will be the dated look of today's films & TV. 80s action films were bursting with real color - would have liked to see that here, too. Would have added to the fun atmosphere, as opposed to this sort of nu-metal look.
-
how much different was the expendables directors cut? how much more time? etc... ive been wondering.
-
May 3, 2012, 2:26 p.m. CST
@moore12, I hope you understand that this and The Raid are two completely different types of movies.
by kevred
Really, it's much more fun to have fun with multiple films as opposed to being too cool for school. It's like fashion - something cooler will come out next year and the thing you think is "it" will be old hat.
-
It's like the people that want every movie based off a comic book to be deathly serious, and anything that is remotely fun is lumped in with Batman and Robin as an abomination.
-
I didn't love the first one, didn't despise it either like many did. This one looks like boomtastic.
-
It wasn't too much longer. Only about 10 minutes. It's definitely the better version though. The main reason being that a lot of the fight scenes were re-edited. Take the Li/Lundgren fight for example. In the theatrical cut, it was filmed so violently, shaky, and up close that you could barely tell what was going on let alone actually see it. But in the directors cut, some of this has actually been fixed. A number of different takes were used where you can actually see whats happening. It's still too shaky and quick for my liking, but it's a lot better on the eyes. It boggles my mind how they purposely used the shaky technique for the theatrical cut when they didn't have to. Judging by this trailer and the directors cut of Part 1, I would say Stallone has heard the criticism.
-
Tell me this isn't badass.

Why is Regis Philbin introducing the Expendables movie trailer?
by ajit maholtra
-
If you grew up watching action movies from the late 80s and 90s this right up your alley! Look I when I saw the first Expendables I knew going in the story & acting would be crap. That didn't bother me because if you look at the story and acting from those past action movies you would've supremely disappointed. I can't wait to see this.

How did that happen? Swartzy's I'm back is delivered clumsily but the film looks entertaining in a shitty way.
by borisdoris
-
All the major action stars of the 70's... and there were a few never did a team up movie?... No not because of ego... because they knew it would be baaaaaad... there wouldn't be a script that was good enough to team 'em up and they had more honour... but of course if the dimes are rolling in... do it... my problem ain't with the bean counters... it's about honour. Honestly do you all want to see these guys doing this shit at their age?It's like it's time to go retire guys... honestly. I just hope this is the retirement film for some of these guys.

When Arnold says I'm back it sounds like when he said See you when you get back in Pumping Iron
by ajit maholtra
-
Looks like a fun, entertaining action flick. "Enjoy the explosions." It's easy to write off a popcorn action flick, I guess. Not every action movie has to be The French Connection. Movie snobs are annoying.
-
I LOVE this line. The first needed more lines like that. Great, cheese moment. August, hurry up and get here.
-

They hired a new expendable it seems. A bearded pedophile in a baseball cap.
by ajit maholtra
-
As a fan of The Expendables, I will be there opening night. In a weird way, as a dude who grew up on over-the-top 80's action flicks, this is my Avengers. Also, Van Damme definitely exudes some pretty crisp acting ability for an action star in this trailer (which anyone who has seen JCVD will know is not that surprising), while Arnold's *I'm back* did sound a little clunky. Still though, it looks like so much explosion filled fun, and Arny was always a bit clunky here and there, so no big deal.
-
May 3, 2012, 3:12 p.m. CST
I can't figure out if Brucie Bonus is the baddie and Arnie is helping him
by Denty420
but I'm sure we'll find out. If this film were a president it would be Ronald Gaygan.
-
hahah, looks like dumb fun, doubt I'll pay to see it though Also Stallone looks more like his brother Frank in that intro.
-
Needs a dash of Carl Weathers. Action Jackson!
-

I am an Arnie fan to the core, but man he is looking fucking old
by Autodidact
He looks fuckin feeble in the pic posted by volllluummme3.. it makes me depressed and I feel like putting Commando blu-ray on.
-
The first one was crap, but the second looks like it rectified the mistakes from the first. I believe Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Francis Ford Coppola were all envious with the amount of talent in this movie. The Mayans said the world would end in December of 2012, but I believe they were a few months late in their prediction. I believe the world is ending August 17, 2012.
-
Just from the nostalgia element. And cheesy zingers (new KFC burger?) like the shoe and man & knife comments are perfect for this genre of escapist crap. And I mean crap as a compliment: by all objective measures it should fail miserably as a movie but still be watchable as a guilty pleasure.
-
May 3, 2012, 3:23 p.m. CST
Enjoyed the hell out of the first. Arnold is my action hero, but
by adeceasedfan
this is really about Stallone v. JCVD and I hope it's epic.
-
Of people who liked it "in spite of themselves". I hit play with a poker-face on, and by the halfway mark I was holding in little squeals of excitement. Say what you want, but I just watched Schwarzenegger saying a wise-crack while in the same car as Bruce Willis, and Van Damme deliver a flying kick to Sly Stallone. 12 year old me is flipping the fuck out right now.
-
May 3, 2012, 3:31 p.m. CST
The first one was awlful. Except for the Mickey break down scene. This one will be so much better w/o Sly directing.
by GQTaste26
Sly needs to remember this would work much better it it's a team effort. I'm sure his ego won't allow it though sadly.
-
Have to admit that made me chuckle. Unfortunately the rest of it looks as mindless as the first. Where was this 20 years ago? WHERE GOD WHERE?!
-
THIS WAS FUCKING BRILLIANT.... all that shit about PG13 vs R that got as worried.... that looked great, no shakey-cam and van damme helicopter kicking sly... fucking perfection. cant breath while watching that. nice one SLY.
-
May 3, 2012, 3:40 p.m. CST
Also Van Damme looks proper fucking sleazy and evil..also Statham seems to be channelling Assassin's Creed..
by _ISITIN3D_
ok, I might have to see this
-
Fucking awesomeeeeeeeeeee So what if they are old? What does that even mean? Micheal Douglas looked older than any of them when he was 30.
-
They're not going to show blood in a green-band trailer for *any* movie.
-
May 3, 2012, 4:11 p.m. CST
Schwarzenegger and Willis should have their own action-comedy sitcom
by chuffsterUK
...with the car as the star!
-
Awesome! Also, not one shaky cam shot in that trailer, thankfully. Looks great, can't wait for the Sly vs. Van Damme showdown. I'll be there opening night!
-
Can someone one clear up if i'm going mad, but the car is a Left Hand Drive right? And Arnie rips the passenger door right? so how come the Drivers door is gone as well? or am i losing it?
-
I know what I'm watching, save your dignity.
-
but I'll schedule this for a future Drunk Movie Night.
-
Kill Chuck Norris in the first 5 minutes of this movie....... Please!

Sly Looked Exactly like Frank Stallone at the beginning of that clip.
by BigTuna
-
well I suppose if you still got a stick in your ass.....
-
Sly has confirmed that it is R Rated, along with Dolph. www.expendablespremiere.com also has the stories of the R confirmation. Also remember it's a greenband trailer so of course it aont gonna show any blood. Seriously this summer is gonna rule. but the only film I fear that will bomb or open well but die asap will be MIB 3. I know it's Will Smith but ever since the new trailer came out alot of people in the cinema that i work in keep bringing up MIB2 and how disapointed they were by it.
-
Reason enough to see it. That is all.
-
SO GLAD they got the R rating back.
-
...they simply couldn't afford the food budget and the cost of reinforcing the set floors. If EX2 makes enough money, they'll hire him as well as a caravan of Mickey D's trucks to follow him from location to location. As for the floors, they'll do the same wire trick with him as they did with Fat Bastard in Austin Powers 2.
-
Stallone could save a bundle by simply inserting Fat Bastard on a wire clips IN PLACE OF Steven Seagal clips. The audience wouldn't know the difference except for the bagpipe music.
-
May 3, 2012, 10:34 p.m. CST
No shaky cam THANK GOD! Fixing that is the biggest achievement. Along with more Arnold and the addition of Van Damme ... I can not fucking wait.
by Ray_Tango
-
...internationally it will go way higher this sort of R rated movie will be huge outside US I predict around $300-350m overall so many action stars as long as they maintain an R rated tone the audiences will flock to it. When Hollywood tries to make PG13 out of an R rated story they lose a lot of money this will do enough to make an Expendables 3 in 2-3 years time!
-
Your Segal comment was the comment of the day. I laughed pretty good. Thank you
-
I'm hardly as critical of these kinds of movies as some can be. I watch, and if they don't entertain I don't watch them again. This does have a huge murder boner going for it though. Huge, huge murder boner.
-
May 3, 2012, 11:40 p.m. CST
Thank god they're going for the more over the top tone this time around.
by Christian Sylvain
Because these actors sure as hell didn't get famous from doing Shakespeare.
-
It definitely looks better than the first. Looks like a lot more fun.
-
I think a fun storyline for a sequel would to have it be about Allyssa Milano getting naked and fu... Whoops, sorry about that. Wrong *idea* Anyways, have it be about Alyssa Milano getting married and the terrorists/evil dictator/etc. sends his goons to kidnap her on her wedding day, and John Matrix has to once again go on a mission to save her. The twist would be that his future son in law is an ex-commando as well. (I'm thinking the villain should be from Val Verde again) Weren't they going to have Sam Worthington in a Commando reboot? Have Sam play the groom, who follows John Matrix on his mission. Then there would be a cameo by Liam Neeson as Worthington's father... himself a bad ass ex-commando of some sort. That way you got a nice little nod to Taken, which was sort of an update of the original Commando. I mean, if Neeson can do stuff like The A-Team and Battleship, it certainly isn't beneath him to appear in a small part in a Commando movie with Arnold. Get James Horner back to do his cool steel drum style score, but add some new elements to it. Maybe instead of naming it Commando II, call it Commandos?
-
Billy the Kid. UGH.
-
He was awesome with the biggest gun in the last one. He needs to find an even bigger gun this time... Come one guys, lets not forget the rest of the team just because Van Damme and Norris have decided to resurrect their hopeless careers with this one! More Couture as well, after all, he was the guy who kicked Austins ass in the end!
-
He would kick mucho Ass. EXP3=McT

I think you have your answer.
-
For those who weren't satisfied by the first you probably weren't a child of the 80s. And if you were then you played with barbies. Crew's big gun, the airplane scene, Austin vs Stallone, Austin vs Cotoure Statham and Li kicking ass, etc, etc, etc. Who went to Expendables for the acting? I'd go so far as to say that Mickey Rourke's scene where he was crying telling that story to Stallone, while perfectly acted, felt totally out of place in that flick. Regardless, Expendables 2 seems to up the action, the acting, the cheese, etc. I'm there opening night.
