It's hard to believe it's been more than two decades since Sylvester Stallone directed the wildly successful sequel to the first Rocky movie. This year the veteran actor steps behind the lens once again to direct and all-star cast including Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li in the upcoming summer blockbuster The Expendables. The notorious action-magnets portray a team of mercenaries whose latest mission sends them to South America to overthrow a crooked dictator. While there, they soon learn that they may also be stepping into their own deathtrap. The Expendables, also starring Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis, heads to theaters August 13. Check out the badass trailer below.
Wow. This movie has just about every action movie hero. Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis and even the Govern-ater himself, Arnold. What an action-packed cast.

Looks like the B-movie to reign over all B-movies!
