“The Expendables 2” (2012) First Official TV Spot

It was only a matter of time but the first official TV spot for Stallone’s follow-up action hero mash-up is out. There’s only a few bits of new footage, including a Terminator. The marketing team behind the film seems dead set on keying in on its ensemble cast of action stars and explosions, but a few bits of its “plot” are shown. 

The Expendables 2 hit theaters on August 17th.

“The Expendables 2” (2012) Fan Trailer - “Made In America”

YouTube channel The Monocular Group return once again with a fan-made trailer for the mash-up action film, Expendables 2. This testosterone-laced fan trailer takes shots at all the recent major visual effects-heavy blockbuster films—including the likes of John Carter, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and Green Lantern—in favour of the traditional action film that had its heyday in the 80’s.

With The Expendables 2 set for release later this year, and featuring both Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger along with action icons like Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris, this trailer does its best to champion the film among all other summer blockbusters. It’s quite the fitting trailer that had my inner child smiling gleefully at how cheesy it was. Was this trailer necessary to get me to watch the movie? No, but it only helps and gives me something new to watch until a new trailer is released.

First Poster For “The Expendables 2” Everybody knows how disappointing The Expendables was last year, but it did make more than enough money to warrant a sequel, and this time around there’s better hope for a more promising film. Despite Willis and the Governator having minor roles in the previous film, they’re returning more prominently, along with action icons Chuck Norris and JCVD. [Slash Film]
