Expendables Art Now Online
Posters that could punch your head off

Expendables Art Now Online

Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables continues to whet our appetites with on-set footage, photos and of course a cast list straight from action heaven. Now there are two new posters for the film, and danged if we're not rather impressed with them too.

After all, if you're making a film about a crew of hard-as-nails action men, you want posters that give the same feeling of coiled violence, and ninja-like disappearing-into-the-night skills - which these black-themed efforts manage rather neatly.


So that's our take - what do you guys think? Should these simply have shown a massive explosion and trusted us to get the film title just from that?

Helen O'Hara

Shame that there's no room for Lundgren and Rourke on the poster, I'd be more excited if they had bigger roles! Rather worryingly Jet Li's name appears second on the poster and he just makes cack films! ... Read More
