Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The 2014 sequel to The Expendables 2.In the Cold Opening, the team retrieves Barney's old friend Doc (Wesley Snipes) from a prison transport. Their new CIA handler Max Drummer (Harrison Ford) sends them off to capture a high-level arms dealer and acknowledged war criminal, which Barney finds is his former partner and co-founder of the Expendables, Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), who he thought was dead. A disastrous encounter inspires Barney to disband his current team out of fear for their lives, and with the help of Bonaparte (Kelsey Grammer) puts together a new team consisting of young upstarts played by Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz, and Glen Powell. His old team is not happy with being put on the sidelines and newcomer Galgo (Antonio Banderas) joins them, eager to get rid of his own demons.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The third movie was leaked online three weeks prior to its official release, with several thousand people torrenting it. There is no word yet on whether or not Lionsgate will be taking any legal action, although some are suspecting the company of leaking the film themselves, citing the fact that it mysteriously leaked right before the San Diego Comic Con, and that people at the convention were saying it's the best in the series - and also that this was a way of showing people the film before the critics had a chance to look at it. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| The Expendables 3 / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: "I am the Hague." sounds awfully familiar coming from Sly Stalone's mouth. When Toll asks Doc why he was caught after springing him from the train in the opening, the latter matter-of-factly replies, "Tax evasion". Wesley Snipes, who plays Doc, was found guilty and sentenced for the same thing in 2008, and spent more than two years in prison. The whole "Doc was in prison" thing might be a reference to Snipes's prison term in general. Stonebanks started out in the Australian special forces. Mel Gibson began his acting career in Australia. He also reverts to Martin Riggs during the final throwdown with Ross. Trench throws in one of Arnie's famous lines from Predator Arnold also says "I lied" to Sylvester Stallone's character. Drummer as a pilot who can do ridiculous maneuvers with a helicopter. Definitely one for Harrison Ford's role as Han Solo. Ford hiding in the back seat of a truck with FORD spelled out in big capital letters in front. Also the Gunship Rescue he pulls off in the final battle is no doubt a reference to Han Solo, complete with making his entrance by blowing up an enemy chopper. Ford is also a certified fixed-wing and helicopter pilot in real life. Barney picks Smilee for the team even though Smilee lost the cage fight. So did Rocky, way back when. When Billy runs straight up the mountainside the whole team looks on in awe, with Gunnar in particular being impressed. Lee asks Barney if he could remember when he could do that and Barney says he can't. Sylvester Stallone's most famous character has a penchant for running triumphantly up tall inclines and in one instance ran up a mountain as preparation for kicking Dolph Lundgren's ass. Galgo is a member of the Spanish Legion, which Antonio Banderas was made an honorary member of a year before the film's production. He also goes briefly Guns Akimbo, which Banderas had experience with in Desperado, while him hitting on Luna in a rather overblown fashion may remind some of Puss in Boots. Bonaparte's (Kelsey Grammer) favorite show is Cheers. Brian Tyler's score sounds a lot like the Rambo theme during the end credits. In one of Luna's first fights she gets a man in an arm bar and breaks his arm. This is pretty much Ronda Rousey's Finishing Move in her Real Life MMA career. When Bonaparte and Barney watch Thorn scaling a sheer cliff, Barney immediately remarks "I could do that." | |

Chekhov's Skill: Doctor Death is stated to be a former medic when he's introduced. Later his skills stabilize Caesar and save his life when he's wounded. When he's introduced, Smilee leaves his meeting with Ross and Bonaparte on a motorcycle, showing he does have training. During the final battle sequence, he not only uses a motorcycle taken from a goon to destroy a tank, but then uses it to save Ross's life by riding up the side of a crashed plane and ambushing the goons trying to kill him. Galgo is introduced via some Le Parkour and other acrobatics. He does some of it in the final battle, but it doesn't work as well as before as the platform he was holding on to broke apart and he is lucky it swings him back inside the building a few stories down. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Averted surprisingly, given the overall tone of the film. Hale Caesar has a huge gun at the beginning which he is very excited about. Gunner tells him he'll "...shoot it for about ten seconds and blow (your) wad." This ends up being exactly what happens, and exactly what would happen with an M134 in real life with the small ammo drum he had on it. | |

Bulletproof Vest: Subverted. When he's briefly detained, Stonebanks tells about how he and Barney came to be enemies.

As just about anyone who's been shot while wearing a bulletproof vest can tell you, it still hurts a lot. In fact the blunt force trauma will break ribs, bruise organs and could kill you anyway. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Expendables 3 / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In his introductory scene, Doc takes out a military base by ramming a train into it. Trench uses the "get-to-the-choppa" line his actor Arnold Schwarzenegger famously said in Predator. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| The Expendables 3 / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The PG-13 rating. Admittedly, the first film was the bloodiest (one guy was split in two from a grenade launcher) and had lots of hard language. The second film less so due to Chuck Norris's involvement, but still had some brutal carnage (a guy is shredded by a helicopter stabilizer). This film opts for Bloodless Carnage vs. constant sprays of blood. | |

Lightning Bruiser: Luna's fighting style relies on her speed, agility and flexibility to compensate for her lack of size and strength. At times she looks like a luchador. | |

Long-Runner Line-up | |
| The Expendables 3 / int_e115e160 | comment |
Long Runner Lineup: Averted. Doc, one of the original Expendables, asks about the team he served with eight years ago. Ross tells him they're "gone". Doc's subsequent speech about the dog tags really drives home that The Expendables is a Meaningful Name. | |

Thousand-Yard Stare | |
| The Expendables 3 / int_e11e88b6 | comment |
Thousand-Yard Stare: When the Expendables are flying home after Stonebanks critically wounds Caesar, the camera pulls in on Barney's unblinking stare, while the jingle of the deceased Expendables dogtags echo in his ear. | |

While You Were in Diapers: Doc disputes Christmas's skill with a knife, stating "Probably free-stylin' with a blade while you were still suckin' on your daddy's titty, tryin' to learn how to eat with a spoon." | |

Survivor Guilt | |
| The Expendables 3 / int_feaf12e8 | comment |
Survivor Guilt: Why Barney keeps the dog tags hanging in the plane. Barney disbands the original team to avoid this. Galgo tells Ross that he felt responsible for the death of his teammates during a mission in Benghazi many years back, and is trying to make up for it by rescuing the captured group members. | |
