Featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger announcing “I’m back!,” Jason Statham stabbing a groom at a wedding and declaring “I now pronounce you man and knife,” and Sylvester Stallone crashing an airplane into a train tunnel in the side of a mountain, the trailer for The Expendables 2 features some of the most ludicrous action clichés committed to celluloid since Commando bowed in 1985.  And just when you thought it couldn’t get any sillier, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme show up to shoot and kick things, respectively.

Last year one of the biggest box office surprises was Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables. People came out in droves to see the campy send up of eighties action movies, causing it to earn an impressive $274 million worldwide. That was more than enough to compensate its $80 million budget, and it has the studio contemplating making another one. One of the many stars of the film was Jason Statham who recently gave an update on the pending follow up to the ass-kicking fest.
