Oh, boy.  Walking internet meme/fictional Texas Ranger Chuck Norris, in case you didn’t know, is a cast member of the upcoming Expendables 2 action film (along with pretty much every other action star ever).  What you might not know (and what has yet to be officially confirmed) is that Norris refused to sign on to The Expendables 2 unless the violence and language was scaled back from the R rating of the original and to a safe PG-13.

Brace yourselves, folks—you are about to witness the most testosterone-heavy 60 second clip you have ever, or likely will ever, witness.  Seriously, this thing is the visual equivalent of eating a pound of raw meat, going to the gym for an hour, and then challenging a stranger to a bloody streetfight.  Also, like those things, it’s kind of really dumb (but in a fun way).  What am I referring to, you ask?  The Expendables 2 trailer.

Could you image The Expendables without Sylvester Stallone being involved in every little part of the development and production process? The man owned the 80′s action genre of which the movie payed homage to so it only seems right that he would pen and direct the sequel. Unfortunately, 24 Frames claims that Stallone might be handing off those reigns to someone else. What’s up with that?

People came out in droves to see the campy send up of eighties action movies, causing it to earn an impressive $274 million worldwide.
