New EXPENDABLES poster makes body-counting a competitive sport
Aug 20
The Expendables has been out for over a week now. It dominated the US box office last weekend, taking $35 million and beating the stuffing out of Julia Roberts vehicle Eat Pray Love in the process. Perhaps in an effort to celebrate the film’s general awesomeness, or maybe to help drive sales even more, the following poster has been produced, though its officialness is dubious at best.
Also dubious is Arnie‘s absence from the body count. I’m sure he could easily double — possibly quadruple* — the gang’s cumulative total (*slight exaggeration). Nevertheless, the body count (as in, dead body count) is entertaining and informative, so cast an eye over it if you’d like.
It’s kind of embarrassing that Couture and Crews only have 2 kills to their name, each — not that I’d say that to their faces, of course. And what would the gang’s Expendables kill count do to the total, I wonder?
The Expendables is currently in cinemas. Read what Jason thought about it here.
I like it. The marketers and even this whole film knows exactly what their target audience is. This film should be used in the future when referencing how to blatantly market your film to your target audience.
