Expend4bles brings back the series’ blood and gore

The new Red Band trailer for Expend4bles highlights something that was missing from part 3. Namely some old fashioned brutality.

Red indeed

Now, just to warn before you hit ‘play’ on the app below, but this is a Red Band trailer for the fourth Expendables flick. If you don’t know what that means, it basically shakes out to it being for adults, and decidedly ‘not safe for work’.

Unlike with Expendables 3 (which wasn’t bad at all, just throwing that out there), Expend4bles isn’t skimping on blood and gore or mature themes. It mostly doesn’t look to be too over the top, though in this new trailer there are definite moments where it toes the line. Oh, and there’s ‘bad language’ too. Lots of that.

A new generation of stars join the world’s top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Expend4bles. Reuniting as the team of elite mercenaries, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Sylvester Stallone are joined for the first time by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia. Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expendables are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give “new blood” a whole new meaning.
