I re-watched the first one a week or so ago. Still great, in it's own way, and I'm looking forward to more.

Nu Image/Millennium Films has identified the stuntman who died on the Bulgarian set of "The Expendables 2" on October 27. Stuntman Kun Lieu was killed in an on-set explosion.
The production company behind the all-star action sequel released a statement Tuesday (November 1) clarifying previous reports and updating the status of the second stuntman injured in the explosion. The second stuntman, Nuo Sun, was also injured in the explosion and was reportedly in critical condition when reports of the accident hit late last Thursday. A new statement released by Nu/Image Millennium Films updated his status, and Sun is now in stable condition in a hospital in Munich, where he was transported to undergo treatment by specialists.
The statement also corrected claims made by Bulgarian newspapers that inaccurately identified the stuntmen as the doubles for Sylvester Stallone and Jet Li and asserted that the those stuntmen were nowhere near the set at the time of the incident. The production company also reconfirmed previous reports that neither the stars nor director Simon West were present for the accident.
The full statement from Nu Image/Millennium Film follows: "Our deepest condolences go to the family of Kun Lieu. His passing is tragic. Our sympathies also go to Nuo Sun, who was seriously injured as a result of the same explosion. We have been informed his condition has stabilized. He has been transported to Munich, Germany, where he is receiving top medical care from the best specialists," the statement reads.
"Regrettably, Bulgarian language newspapers have incorrectly reported that stunt doubles for Jet Li and Sylvester Stallone were involved in the accident. This is absolutely false and inaccurate. At the time of the accident neither Li's or Stallone's stuntmen were on or near the Second Unit set, nor were any of the film's main actors, director Simon West or any of the Main Unit crew. "Only Second Unit filming has been temporarily suspended and will resume shortly. The filmmakers continue to work with authorities investigating this accident. Main Unit production has not been interrupted and continues as scheduled."

This is really getting me jazzed. If only Kurt Russell was involved, I'd have to be put in a straight jacket.

The Expendables was the best action movie of 2010.
I hope The Expendables 2 has more explosion, more gunfights and more fight scenes than the first one.
The cast is every action fan's dream.
I hope Simon West does a great job, if so, this movie might be the greatest action film ever made!

I agree. If it's anything like Con Air in terms of quality, this might double the first's domestic total!

If you're implying that The Expendables 2 is going to kick some ass at the boxoffice,
YOU BET YOUR ASS IT WILL!

The first was not oscar worthy but it was exactly what everyone expected: action packed movie gold. This should see a bigger OW but smaller multiplier which is okay since OS gross will probably grow. 45/125/200/325 I'll be seeing this opening weekend. |

Welcome Back Algren! So glad you could make it. Hey baumer, that guy is not me. I'm the Algren from BOM. I don't know who this other guy is. I actually never said I was. Did you see the picture I posted of the crew and Chuck Norris? He looks to be in really good shape for a 70 year old. I'm excited to see what role he'll play. |

Of course I've seen it. I'm on the pulse with this film. Seeing as though you're here now, you can do all of the updates, if you don't mind, because I can't be assed.
Chuck Norris will play a minor role, although his name is further up on the poster than Van Damme, which is interesting.
