So when did this get back to being rated R? I saw a TV spot yesterday and it said rated R. I cheered and scratched my head because of the report this was going to be PG 13 so long ago.

^ Agreed. But from what I hear, they used squibs, and in that clip where Stallone uses his finger to pretend shoot, you can clearly see squibs, and not action essentials blood.

A potential Predator and Expendables crossover for Expendables 3?

Please god no. Leave my Aliens and Predators alone. They don't need this ****. PLEASE.
**** A&P! They need to stay away from this franchise. As long as Clint and Ford are in for the next one, I'll be happy.

^ That would be expectational.
If I'm remembering this correctly (and there's always a chance I'm not) I seem to recall AintItCool running stories about the original idea for Expendables 2 having something to do with a Predator-style sci-fi villian. It wasn't literally the Predator, but it was a similar idea.

I mean, having the actual Predator could work. But the thing is, it would have to be done with more care then these movies are used too.
Because regardless, it's still a Predator movie. And it needs good characters, good action, and respect to the monster.
So, I don't know.

I couldn't imagine all these mega action heroes being picked off by the predator though, tables would be turned

Heh. This may be my favorite review of any movie ever written:
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/08/12/the-expendables-2-the-bleeding-cool-review/
Mild spoilers ... though I'm not sure there's all that much to spoil. Couple of great pullquotes ...
"Anyone who shells out for a ticket expecting Citizen Kane is some kind of fool but if you’re in the market for about an hour and a half of untrammelled macho bull**** and a bunch of stuff blowing up, The Expendables 2 is for you."
"In the first 30 seconds, there’s enough gun porn in The Expendables 2 to last the average Call Of Duty fanatic a lifetime."
"Every scene culminates in some sort of fight. Every single shot, in fact, has a fight in it. Sometimes the fights are interrupted so that another fight can take place in the middle. Then it’s back to the fighting."
"Make no mistake; The Expendables 2 is a terrible film. With careless plotting, a lazy reliance on cliché and one of the worst sound mixes of any mainstream release in history it’s a slap in the face to the Cahiers du Cinema set. But if you’re willing to overlook all that, it’s kind of OK."
Haha. Classic. Sounds perfect.
