Promo Trailer for Stallone's 'The Expendables' Explodes Online
I can't help but love this
Just the final image alone bearing the title treatment and featuring Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Jet Li, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren is enough to sell me on the Stallone written and directed actioner The Expendables, which hits theaters on August 20, 2010 and today we get a peek at a promotional trailer for the film that has just hit the Internet.
The film centers on a group of mercenaries sent to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator to liberate the population. Their team is "expendable," hired to do jobs that no one else can or will. Filming is expected to begin in February in Costa Rica and Louisiana.
The film also stars the likes of Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, Charisma Carpenter, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, and David Zayas and is rumored to include an Arnold Schwarzenegger cameo. You can check out the promo directly below and browse our gallery of 14 images right here.

All I have to say is…
That will be awesome!
Hell yeah. The 80's action movie is back big f@ckin' time. I already want a sequel with Norris, Seagal, JCVD, Russell, Busey and Arnie attached.
looks like the worst movie ever.
the greatest team ever since Mag7 & guns of Navr !!
Its gonna break all records..
While the look of it isn't knocking me out, the actors, concept and action have me looking forward to this in a big way.
this looks terrible, unless of course you like bloodsport
Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Jet Li, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, Charisma Carpenter, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, and David Zayas….
12 reasons this film has already been doomed to an august release.
Looks fun as hell. Go Stallone!
Looks a little too 'clean', Gonna rock anyhow, "Bring it happy feet" haha!
I thought the film was suppost to have a cameo by Bruce Willis also…
As long as they don't show Terry Crews dancing for no reason it's OK by me!
Don't know why didn't like it..
I would love a more normal trailer.. this looks like some scenes put in a basket that got mixed up
This looks like it could be great.
What's really funny is that even if this movie sucks madly, the opening weekend will be astronomical enough to suggest people talking sequel. Stallone hit pay dirt with this one, cast alone…
@JAB:
Doomed to an August release? It's on the same time frame as "Inglorious Basterds." Yes, that particular time frame (and any weekend in the last half of August) is normally for doomed movies, but once BO success sets a precedent, others are free to follow.
Looks like an homage to 80's and 90's straight-to-video and cable action thrillers. So much so, that it is a transparent clone of many of them. So what's the original element here ? Nostalgia ?? Is anybody actually nostalgic for this stuff being done this way ?
wow, that looked awful!!! direct to dvd type movie is what that looked like.
This looks like a totally-mindless-over-the-top-fun-time at the movies. Bring it.
@mitch:
if you don't like action movies, why are you even waching these comments. you must be very lonely.
I enjoy action films as much as the next guy but this looks as cool as an old man motorcycle club.
wat happened why did the trailer get removed?
