EX Throwback - The Scene of Legends

Another throwback. While going through my archive, found this rare, probably never seen picture of a scene that was originally supposed to have all the action legends fire guns together. The producers finally decided to cut Norris out and I never found out why. Originally Norris had a scene with Willis and Schwarzenegger where they discuss a plan to rescue the Expendables. In the scene after the mine rescue, where Willis and Arnold talk to Sly about helping him capture JCVD, Norris was originally part of the gang that shoots at JCVD's truck before entering the airport. But all those scenes were cut to make room for that scene at the airport where Norris appears magically for Sly to turn his head back and look at him with a surprised face. Not sure if we'll ever get a director's or Sly's cut of the EX2, that would be a dream.

  1. Yeah, they zoomed in to cut him out of the shot, and it looked terrible. EX2 had the really bad digital zoom use that many complained about. It was sadly obvious in the theater.

    1. It sounds like fake news. The movie is shooting in Bulgaria not Hungary!
