As imperfect as the first two films were, I had a blast watching Lionsgate’s first two Expendables.
With the addition of the likes of Antonio Banderas, Ronda Rousey, Mel Gibson and Wesley Snipes, how can you not be stoked for the August 15 release of The Expendables III?
After various teases, Lionsgate has finally released a trailer with actual footage from the action pic featuring Sylvester Stallone (Barney Ross), Jason Statham (Lee Christmas), Antonio Banderas (Galgo), Jet Li (Yin Yang), Wesley Snipes (Doc), Dolph Lundgren (Gunner Jensen), Kelsey Grammer (Bonaparte),Terry Crews (Hale Caesar), Randy Couture (Toll Road), Kellan Lutz (John Smilee), Ronda Rousey (Luna), Glen Powell (Thorn), Victor Ortiz (Mars), Robert Davi (Vata), with Mel Gibson (Conrad Stonebanks), with Harrison Ford (Drummer), and Arnold Schwarzenegger (Trench).
As much as I miss Jean Claude Van-Damme, Mel Gibson looks like he’s going to be one helluva fun villain in this!
“In The Expendables 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team come face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.”
Patrick Hughes directs this star-studded cast.
