What makes this film so unique is not the story, but the people involved. Alongside Stallone, [[Jason Statham]] and [[Jet Li]] play his closest friends [[Knife Nut|Lee Christmas]] and [[Bare-Fisted Monk|Yin Yang]]. Beyond that Mickey Rourke ([[Retired Badass|Tool]]), [[Dolph Lundgren]] ([[Ax Crazy|Gunnar]] [[Blood Knight|Jensen]]), [[Randy Couture]] ([[Real Men Wear Pink|Toll Road]]), [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] ([[The Dragon|Paine]]), Eric Roberts (as, unsurprisingly, [[Smug Snake|a slimy bad guy]]) and Terry Crews ([[Boisterous Bruiser|Hale Caesar]]) all have major supporting roles. Even [[Bruce Willis]] ([[Line-of-Sight Name|Mr. Church]]) and [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] (Trench) have minor supporting roles. There were rumors and official reports of even more action heroes being offered roles, cause that was just what this movie was about. |

The people added to ''The Expendables 2''? [[Jean-Claude Van Damme]] and [[Chuck Norris]], with both Willis and Schwarzenegger taking on bigger roles and an up and coming actor Liam Hemsworth featured prominently. [[Testosterone Poisoning|You couldn't put more masculinity on one piece of celluloid if you tried.]] The Plot? Willis' character has another job for Ross, dealing with a dangerous weapons shipment being overseen by Van Damme. As they deal with the new challenge, things get personal and the stakes get higher. |
