I usually don't post pictures of stunt doubles unless there is a good story behind it. Well here I think we might have a new element that would slightly change our theory about Couture's character's fate in EX2. This picture seems to be showing Couture's double at the airport scene which we believe to be the movie's finale, the last battle that also involves Schwarzenegger, Willis & Norris in addition to the EX team (minus the one that is savagely killed by the villains in the course of the movie).
In our Anatomy of the EX2 Plot we initially thought that Couture's character would die before the airport battle since there was no evidence of his presence on set while the scenes were being shot at the airport. This picture shows that he must have actually been there since his double was on set with Lundgren's. So maybe his character doesn't die before the airport battle but we still think he might during the final battle.
Another one of our assumptions that becomes stronger is the fate of Hemsworth's charterer who we believe is the EX to be viciously killed by the villains and avenged by the rest of the EX team. The filming in HK did not show any indication that Li's character would die in the movie and the fact that Hemsworth did not film any scenes in HK nor in Bulgaria during the shooting of the airport scenes is a very strong indication that his character is the one on the line of fire. This is only what we think and it's of course open for discussion.
"the EX to be savagely killed by the villains "
ReplyDeletesavagely with a water gun ?????
Yeah. There's not gonna be anything savage in this movie.
ReplyDeleteI still think it is Li or Hemsworth who will be killed .. and for god sake, stop it with all the whining about the rating system. It is done and there is nothing to do ..
ReplyDeleteI still think it's Jet Li who dies. Liam Hemsworth may die as well during the course of the movie, but for The Expendables to go on a revenge mission over a character who only gets introduced in the second movie doesn't carry a lot of weight. It has to be one of the original Expendables who we already know and care about to have any effect on the audience.
ReplyDeleteMy prediction is Randy Couture will die on the mission to avenge the Expendabble who is murdered by Van Damme.
No Expendable will actually die, he'll be hurt badly (off screen) and after that the expendables will replace his damaged organs with robotic ones, they'll turn him in a half man half robot and he will look that way, and he'll deliver a very wicked scene where he will blasts laser rays with his robotic arm. The young audience will love this scene because it is so very cool and wicked.

Couture is my personal Expendable to die. His preformance in EX1 was a zero. Why would you kill a new Expendable member (Hemsworth) off dosent seem to make any sense at killing new members. Li to me in my opinion should be the first EX to die
ReplyDeleteIs that confirmed to be Couture's stunt double? Because judging by the lack of Couture's signature hat and shoulder pads, I'd almost say he'd be Li's. He's got the same hat, and despite being Caucasian and having facial hair, his outfit bares a striking resemblance to the one Li used in his HK filming session. The only thing missing really are the needles (or nails) Li holds around his abdomen.

The picture is from the airport scene at the end of the movie in which Li did not take part, so it couldn't be Li's stunt.
DeleteI seen this at a private screening at Camp Pendleton. This movie is VERY savage and brutal.
ReplyDeleteWho dies in the movie?
