Must Watch: Awesome Promo Trailer for The Expendables!

I've been waiting and waiting for a trailer for Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables! This isn't the official trailer, I'm sure Lionsgate won't be too happy, but damnit, it's so awesome I can't help myself! ComingSoon has posted the first promo trailer (made to sell the movie to distributors) for The Expendables, which will hit theaters next August. This badass movie stars Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Brittany Murphy, Danny Trejo, Charisma Carpenter, and so many others. I don't think I need to say anything else - just fire this bad boy up & enjoy!

Watch the first promo trailer for Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables:

Trailer removed at the request of Lionsgate. Sorry guys!

We expect this trailer to be pulled down by Lionsgate very soon, so check it out now while you still can!

The story follows a team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator.

The Expendables is both written and directed by legendary action actor and filmmaker Sylvester Stallone, who has also directed Paradise Alley, Rocky 2, 3, and 4, as well as the most recent Rambo movie. This is a Nu Image / Millennium Films production produced by Avi Lerner and Les Weldon. Lionsgate is bringing The Expendables to theaters starting on August 20th, 2010 late next year. Glad to see its very hard R!

Dirk Diggler

Cody

Awww man awesome...ridiculously simple plot, intentionally cheesy one liners and the Stat with dual shivs. Can you get any better?.....and Dolph Lundgren with an actual american accent. Man I am sold.
FredT

hope dialogue in the film will be better than it is in the trailer or else it'll just be some middle of the road action movie
Trip

Ohhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Cody

O yeah and 1:58 awesome.
Al

i was really looking forward to this hope it looks better with the actual trailer.
Jon

I'm definitely excited about seeing The Expendables, but I'm not sure I was impressed with the footage in this promo. Some of the dialogue seems a bit wooden, and Jet Li's character was out of place in most of his scenes. Anyway I'm sure it's still going to be a kick ass movie.
yes

looks horrible
TediusTed

Eric Fucking Roberts! Ha har!!! YES!
eric estrada

AWESOME!!
Spider

This looks retarded. And not in a good way...
crumb

This looks really bad.
Chris

almost no plot. Cheesy dialogue. Stallone,Statham, Li, Lundgren, Cotoure, AND Stone Cold Steve Austin in one movie. BRING IT ON
wesley

Cool I was wondering how long it would take for the AA 12 Automatic Shotgun to make it into a Movie!!
http://www.exdementia.net Branden

What a lot of people have to take into consideration is: When a film is finished (in terms of editing), it gets a color-correction edit-job. That really makes a film look more "professional", thorough, and consistant. Second, we're getting a lot of lines out of context (as you would in an official trailer). But this is being used to sell the movie to distros. Im fairly certain that when the official trailer comes out, there will be less words, and less words out of context, and more action. And lastly, the sound design isn't fully there. Along with the proper edits, and everything that goes with that. And really, ALL of those things together can either make or break a trailer. And personally, I think they're going to do it right for the official trailer. Im not only defending this trailer because I am super fucking jacked to see it (I saw Rambo 9 times [and yes, paid for] in theatres). But I also know that Stallone hit rock bottom in the late 90's and early 00's, so I know that he knows he has no margin for error (Rocky Balboa being his disguised auto-biography).

Sorry but this was just awesome! I love how Sly pulls a 80s revival Action movie out of nowhere...Love love loveeee it! And a fight Dolph L vs Jet L??? CRAZY!!!!!
clippers350

It looks like a straight to DVD action flick. And with Eric Roberts in it I'm sure we'll be seeing this on HBO at around 2 or 3 in the morning when I'm getting home from Roscoe's like the rest of his movies.
http://shadow-side.com/ Josh

Well it should make for a fun mindless action movie at least
ImaginaryVisionary

As odd as this is to say....I could do without Stallone in this movie. I'm cool with it being an 80's revival action flick, but there's a reason movies that were big in the 80's won't survive in today's theaters. The audience has changed, and aside from people who loved cheesy 80's action flicks....no one is going to see this. The bar has been raised as far as action scenes are concerned. Think about it. When was the last time you saw an action flick that didn't have the most acrobatic and off the wall fight scene's? Old 80's movies had basic stand up fighting with a little spin kick here and there. Which brings me to why I'm pumped to see this movie. I'm excited to see the styles mixed. With Jason Statham in this film...I'm there, but throw in Jet Li as well. Those are probably today's main action stars (at least the good ones....Vin Diesel counts too I suppose) and if you blend their style of action with Stallone and Dolph's old school style and you might find some magic. Kind of like a an ensemble buddy cop movie with a young cop and an old cop. Old guys and their style, vs the young guns and their style. It could be pretty exciting....but ultimately I'm only expecting to see pointless violence at it's best.
gplongwood

Stallone looks a lot better in this than he did in John Rambo. Glad to see him more normal again. Looking forward to this.
leiner

Kicks assssss!! Way to go Stallone! This is a very cool, good old-action movie!!
Toucmyinfection

DukePhoenix

Holy crap this looks like total ass. What the hell Sly? Very disappointing, lot's of kool-aid is being drunk by people who think this looks like anything above a C grade film.

I think my folks rented this out for me when I was a kid in the mid 80's. Looks kind of at that quality.

NOTHING IS OVER!!!!!
Sabes

This movie looks so epically cheesy and horrible...I have to see it. I said long ago, the casting alone is going to make me go watch this.
Xerxex

yeah this wasn't the best promo ever, but I got hopes that the final product will end up being good.

@46......CLASSIC! Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!
Shuriken

Why don't they just show the whole film while they're at it!?
OCP

The 80's called they want their movie back
Ostilad

Bravo #46 I hope the studio has already commissioned 2 sequels. I can't wait.
dom

Some great lines and some really B movie lines. Might be a dvd rent if they dont pull something new out of the bag. Looks a bit like an old 90's action film which aint always a bad thing.
Leo

Stallone,Statham, Li, Lundgren, Cotoure, Stone Cold get together and planning to make a movie, but after 30 sec. they all shouted: "FUCK THE PLOT!...." .. later The Expendables..
LV 426

That looks fuckin Rank i am sorry to say, seems more like a cheap ass made for TV movie and was wrote and directed by the cunt who made knots landing.
graymer

it's so bad ... its good
beavis

i hope this is supposed to be a comedy.........it works as that. but, as a serious movie it's a joke. tired, cheesy dialogue and standard action make this look like "direct to dvd" fare.
Luke

haha!! This movie looks like a classic 80's action flick! Brilliant!! Also is it just me or does Stallone look like an older, buffer Robert Downey Jr with that goatee??
titulitus

Wow Can't wait to see this one!! ya'll need to go change your diapers who ever is dissing this b rated masterpiece, Its pure fucking genius =)
Solo Dolo Polo

In!
Tra la la la la di da

This looks so awesomely cheesy! Can't wait.

I'm going to hold off seeing this trailer. It's a promo put together for distributors as opposed to normal audiences so I can't be sure how polished it will look, how much it will give away or how representative it will be of the final product. This case having been highlighted with the early trailers they used for Rambo. Anyone remember the horrible A team military type or the even worse "you know his name, you know what he's capable of..." talk over finishing with the snake leaping at the screen. Awful. Sly can count on my attendance when the film comes out so I don't need to sully the experience with this.
Bash

The 80's called - they want their script back.
AC

good ole' action flick with a group of great actors, simple plots and alot of explosions..this really will be a great movie to go see!
David Banner

Wheee! The 80's are back!
YK

I was really looking forward to this. But that looks like crap, regardless of trailer production values.
Trey

promo looks wack..but its action-packed
hale

Looks great, wish Lundgren was a good guy. Was that the detective from Dexter in the movie?
Antioch

I HOPE THIS MOVIE IS 5 HOURS LONG
bozo

Old school action flick done right?!!?! MAYbe. I think it will pull in a mint though.
wHiskey Tango...

Looks AWESOME. Crews with the Street Sweeper (like the rest of the movie) was BAD ASS. Can't wait for a good popcorn flick like this.
Hulk

This looks like a really bad 80's movie!
Dan

To all those who are complaining that it looks like an 80s' flick....yes it does and I think that's what Sly wanted to relive...the good ole days of the 80s shoot-em-up, me against a thousand kinda movie.....Bring it on, first in line to see it.
Sam

I cant wait! Where was Danny Trejo though?
ADM-86

looks like a mediocre 90's movie wtf

Chad as fuck! Hell yeah!

Hmmm, word has gone out that the sites that have posted the trailer need to remove them ASAP. Yet, while the trailer has been removed from ComingSoon, it is still available here.

Gave me a Semi! !!!!......... FanF'nTastic!
tim

the 80s called. they said that stallone doesnt need # 87s money.
http://www.scriptshadow.blogspot.com Script Shadow

So is this operating in the "so bad it's good" universe? Is this a tongue-in-cheek action film? On a production level it looks cheesy and kinda cheap, not helping if the movie wants to be taken seriously. Or is this just an out-and-out no apologies B-film? Can somebody tell me what's going on with Jet Li? I may be going insane but I could swore he announced his retirement 2 years ago.
Xplosive

amazing..... 3 of the best action stars come together on the same team.....i thought stallone was done after rambo but hes never done is he....cant wait for it...
JimD

That looks terrible lol. Maybe worth a laugh.
mov

Has Razzies all over it!!! bad filmmaking
Squiggly_P

Just so you all are aware, these things are made prior to any sort of final edit. There are no effects beyond just the practical stuff and MAYBE some cheap stand-in CG stuff, the sound is probably from the boom mic and not mixed, the music hasn't been written yet... It's not a good way to judge the quality of a movie. There's been practically no post work done on this yet. It was probably cut while they were still shooting the thing, since they seemed to be just intercutting the same three or four scenes with each other. So yeah, this flick still looks great to me. The only thing that turns me off is the berets they wear, but I'm sure I'll be able to get over that (and it looks like it's not through the whole flick, so that's good). @Script Shadow: Jet Li said he didn't want to make any more martial arts movies and start taking some more serious roles. I'm more concerned about Donnie Yen, who has stated that he's going to stop making films altogether. That pisses me off because not only is he a great martial artist, he's a really great actor. I'm hoping that he really said he was going to stop doing martial arts films and that I just got a bad translation of that or something, cause he's not that old and can act with the best of them.
Nikhil Hariharan

This version/cut of the trailer is lame, you should just pull it down because its going to give off bad publicity for the public at least. I mean if i saw this not knowing it was a promo, well then i would have avoided this film altogether

Way too "funny".

there is one thing this movie is missing.........tits!!!!
ricanman

I own you!!!! Haha, cheesy one liners! Multiple Angle explosions, car chases, and good old fashion action scenes! I am there! The 80's are back, in a good way!
vic

sly is trying to achieve realism and b-movie style at the same time, I'm not sure this will work, and the dialogue already sounds painful.
Ostilad

Sly has said already about how this movie is structured. Its a revisiting of the 80's blended together with mordern day elements. No one should expect Quentin Tarantino dialogue. Action and special effects should be off the chain. I am so in.

That's such an action hero sausagefest there! You can smell the balls....

If this entry is true, there is no more Brittany? "The script went through a re-write and Brittany Murphy’s character was deleted." from the official blog at http://ethelmae.wordpress.com/2009/05/29/i-was-kinda-bitchy-today/

That was pure epicness.

Amazing cast!! And love those cheesy one-liners... can't get better than this. I would watch this even it had the worst story ever!
JTaylor

Add in Michael Jai White and this cast could be completed.
Ummmok

CRAP!
carolinaHaze

anyone expecting anything more that badass action out of this movie needs to shut the hell up. It's like watching Sesame Street and saying "this show is too kiddie". I hope there is no plot at all and just 100mins of dudes fighting,shooting guns, blowing shit up and talking shit about it. Serioulsy. If you want a plot, go watch soap operas or the Notebook or some other girl movie and let the men have out action porn.
DSTAR

Really need to see that dolph lundgren/jet li fight in full. Immediately. Pronto. Quickly. I mean right now.
janeorim

OF COURSE it's a B MOVIE! But it's STALLONE'S B move! A f**king kick ass old school Dirty Dozen guy flick. Why don't you hater M**therf**ckers get on line for SEX IN THE CITY 2!! I Hear it's coming out next year!! If you hurry you can get ticket's!
