10 Terrible 2012 Films That Will Get Sequels Anyway

2. The Expendables 2

While shooting scenes of The Expendables 2 in Bulgaria, a stuntman was killed during the filming of an explosion. It's very rare when a person loses their life during the making of a film, and what makes this story more depressing is that the movie that stuntman died for was The Expendables 2. This greasy, overblown and machismo sequel to the 2010 action hit serves no purpose to honor that stunt man's life by delivering us nothing but joyless garbage for nearly 2 hours. With a cast that includes all the washed up greats of action films of yesteryear (Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, Norris) as well as the soon to be forgotten (Jet Li, Jason Statham, Terry Crews) this film rocketed to the top of the box office, as action fans came out in swarms helping The Expendables 2 earn over $300 million in the process. Stallone has announced that a 3rd film, a prequel, is now in the works.
