The Expendables 3 is a 2014 American ensemble action film directed by Patrick Hughes, and written by Creighton Rothenberger, Katrin Benedikt, and Sylvester Stallone. It is a sequel to the 2012 action film The Expendables 2, and the third film in The Expendables film series. The film features returning cast members Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Glen Powell, Victor Ortiz, Robert Davi, Kelsey Grammer, Wesley Snipes, Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas and Harrison Ford all join the cast.

The story follows the mercenary group known as "The Expendables" as they come into conflict with ruthless arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), the Expendables' co-founder, who is determined to destroy the team. The film was released on August 15, 2014.

Plot

The Expendables led by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and formed by Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren) and Toll Road (Randy Couture) extract former member Doctor Death (Wesley Snipes), a knives specialist and team medic, from a military prison and recruit him to assist them in intercepting a shipment of bombs meant to be delivered to a warlord in Somalia. Arriving there, they reunite with Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who directs them to the drop point, where Ross is surprised to find out that the arms trader providing the bombs is Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), who co-founded the Expendables, but later betrayed the team to profit off of illegal weapons dealing, and was since believed to be dead. In the ensuing firefight, the Expendables are forced to retreat due to Stonebanks' men's advanced weaponry, and Caesar is severely injured in the process.

Blaming himself, Ross leaves for Las Vegas, where he enlists retired mercenary Bonaparte (Kelsey Grammer) to help him find younger, mercenaries to join the team. The recruits include ex-Marine John Smilee (Kellan Lutz), nightclub bouncer Luna (Ronda Rousey), computer expert Thorn (Glen Powell) and weapons expert Mars (Victor Ortiz). Skilled sharpshooter Galgo (Antonio Banderas) advocates to be included in the team, but Ross turns him down. The new team rendezvous with CIA operative Max Drummer (Harrison Ford), the Expendables' missions manager, and Ross' rival Trench Mauser (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who have traced Stonebanks to Romania, where he is set to make a deal with another arms trader. Ross and the new recruits infiltrate his office building and capture him in order to deliver him to Drummer, but Stonebanks' men catch up to them and fire a missile at the team's van. Ross is thrown into a ravine, while Smilee, Luna, Thorn and Mars are captured by Stonebanks.

Stonebanks sends Ross a video, challenging Ross to come after him. While preparing to leave, Ross is found by Galgo, and agrees to give him a chance. Christmas, Jensen, Road and Doc likewise join his efforts, and they raid the building where Stonebanks is keeping the recruits and rescue them. Stonebanks has rigged the place with explosives, but Thorn is able to use a battery-powered device to delay the countdown. Drummer and Mauser arrive to help them alongside retired member Yin Yang (Jet Li), and the team begrudingly works together to kill Stonebanks' men and destroy his weapons. Ross and Stonebanks fight hand-to-hand, and Ross finally kills him just as the batteries of Thorn's device run out and the entire building begins to collapse. The team makes it to Drummer's helicopter and flies away to safety.

Caesar recovers from his wounds, and Ross officially accepts Galgo, Smilee, Luna, Thorn and Mars into the team. They all get together at a bar to celebrate.

Cast

Production

Development and pre-production

In March 2012 Couture said a third installment of The Expendables might begin production in late 2012, after the release of The Expendables 2.[20] In April 2012, Steven Seagal said he was offered a role in a third film.[21] In August 2012, producer Avi Lerner confirmed that Nicolas Cage had been signed for the (potential) sequel. He also said that the producers intended to bring back the series' stars (attempting to have Mickey Rourke reprise his role), had approached Clint Eastwood about a role, and had plans to pursue Harrison Ford and approach Wesley Snipes after his release from prison.[22] Stallone said, "We are thinking about different concepts—the third one is the hardest. The second is the natural progression. The third, that’s when the air gets rare. We’re thinking ambitiously about it...You now have to give audiences something they don’t expect at all—maybe even going into a different genre."[23] Also in August, Chuck Norris said he would not return for a sequel.[24] On August 13, 2012, Jean-Claude Van Damme indicated that Stallone might include him in The Expendables 3 as Claude Vilain, brother of Jean Vilain.[25] On October 31, 2012, it was confirmed that Nu Image and Millennium Films were in the process of pre-selling international distribution rights for The Expendables 3.[26] On December 19, 2012, it was reported that Jackie Chan had agreed to join the sequel on the condition that he would have more than a minor role.[27]

In March 2013, Stallone confirmed he was writing a script for the sequel, and that he intended for the film to be more humorous with moments of drama. Stallone also said that Seagal would not be in the film, and that he wanted to cast more young actors in their mid-20's.[28] In April 2013, Stallone announced that Patrick Hughes would direct the sequel.[29] In May 2013, Chan, Snipes, Cage, and Milla Jovovich were announced to be in advanced negotiations to join the film. Filming is scheduled to begin in August 2013.[30] In June 2013, Lionsgate announced that the film would be released on August 15, 2014.[31] In July 2013 it was reported that actor Mel Gibson would portray the film's villain, and later that month Stallone confirmed Gibson's involvement.[32][33] Also in July, actor Kellan Lutz, and professional fighters Victor Ortiz and Ronda Rousey were added to the cast. It was revealed that the film would feature several younger, technology-oriented action heroes who clash with the veteran Expendables.[34] In August 2013, it was confirmed that Ford, Antonio Banderas and Glen Powell would join the cast, and that Bruce Willis would not be reprising his role as Church.[35] Willis' lack of involvement was cited as a disagreement over money, with production sources indicating that Willis was offered $3 million for four days of shooting in Bulgaria, but Willis wanted $4 million.[36] On September 17, 2013, Kelsey Grammer was announced to be in negotiations to join the film.[10]

Filming

Principal photography began on August 19, 2013, in Bulgaria and at the Nu Boyana Film studio in Sofia[1] and ended on October 22.[37] In September 2013, Crews revealed in an interview that Statham survived an on-set mishap when the truck he was driving plunged into the Black Sea after its brakes had failed.[38] In a November 2013 interview, Couture confirmed that filming had finished, and that discussions for a fourth Expendables film were taking place.[39]

Rating

The film is the first in the franchise to be rated PG-13 differing from the previous films' R rating. At the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Stallone announced that he was aiming for a PG-13 rating for the film. Stating that albeit it was close to being rated R, he wanted to reach a younger and broader audience with the new film.[40] On July 1, the Motion Picture Association of America granted The Expendables 3 a PG-13 rating; the given description being "violence including intense sustained gun battles and fight scenes, and for language".[41] However, the first version handed to the MPAA received an R rating, and had to be trimmed down to meet the aspired PG-13 rating.[41]

Release

Marketing

The cast of The Expendables 3 at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival

On December 19, 2013, the first teaser trailer got released, with the intent of showcasing the large cast of the movie.[42] At 2014 CinemaCon, the official poster of the film was shown for the first time, although it only slightly differs from material shown before, featuring a white background instead of a black one.[43] The marketing scheme of putting a huge emphasis on the film's ensemble cast of famous action actors was continued in early April, when 16 character posters of the film's cast were released and divided over four websites for maximum exposure.[44] One day later, the first trailer with actual footage from the film premiered, again highlighting the film's huge cast, being referred to as a "roll call trailer" by Lionsgate.[45] At the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Millennium Films hosted a special event promoting the film at the Carlton Hotel, with Stallone, Statham, Schwarzenegger, Gibson, Ford, Snipes, Banderas, Lundgren, Grammer, Couture, Lutz, Ortiz, Powell, and director Patrick Hughes attending. The event lasted the entire day and featured the cast driving down the Croisette in tanks.[46] On June 5, a new TV trailer with new footage from the movie was released. Instead of highlighting the all-star cast like the previous ones, this trailer focused on the new additiones to the cast, prominentely Lutz, Rousey and Ortiz, contrasting their young characters with the more experienced ones of Stallone and Grammer.[47] The same day, Sylvester Stallone also released a behind the scenes video via his Twitter.[48] On June 17, a long cinematic trailer was released, giving a first look at Mel Gibson as Conrad Stonebanks, as well as showcasing the film's story for the first time.[49] A week later on June 23, the new banner was released, featuring all 17 cast members except Robert Davi.[50] On June 4 a new TV trailer was released, containing new footage, although mostly consisting of footage already released.[51] A longer version of the trailer was released a week later,[52] and one day after that, another TV trailer, themed to coincide with the 2014 FIFA World Cup, was released.[53] At 2014 ComicCon, 16 new character posters in pop art style were released.[54]

Piracy and subsequent lawsuit

On July 25, 2014, three weeks ahead of the film's premiere, a DVD-quality leak was downloaded, via piracy sites, more than 189,000 times over a 24-hour period.[55] After one week, it was estimated that the leak had been downloaded over 2 million times.[56]

On July 31, 2014, the film's studio, Lionsgate, filed a lawsuit in California federal court against 10 anonymous individuals for copyright infringement.[57] The studio reported that one digital copy of the film was stolen and uploaded to the internet. Lionsgate stated they sent demand letters to operators of the piracy sites, but received no reply.[58]

Reception

Box office

The Expendables 3 was released in August 15, 2014 in the United States and earned $875,000 during its late night Thursday screenings from 2200 locations. It did better than it predecessors The Expendables ($870,000) and The Expendables 2 ($685,000). However, its first showing was at 7 P.M., whereas the previous films had their first showings at midnight.[59] It earnes $5.9m on its first day. It fell well below the $13 million opening day of The Expendables and $10 million opening day of The Expendables 2. [60]

Critical reception

The Expendables 3 has been met with mixed to negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 35% rating, based on 115 reviews, with an average rating of 4.9/10. The site's consensus reads: "Like its predecessors, Expendables 3 offers a modicum of all-star thrills for old-school action thriller aficionados -- but given all the talent assembled, it should have been a lot more fun."[61] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 35 out of 100, based on 33 critics.[62]

Sequels

In late 2013, Randy Couture confirmed that, although The Expendables 3 had not yet been released, there were already plans for a fourth installment.[63] This was confirmed in March 2014 by former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, who stated that he had agreed with Avi Lerner to star in a future The Expendables sequel.[64] Hulk Hogan claimed on his Twitter account that he will be in the fourth film.[65]
