  • There's a large shootout in a deserted town, but all the enemies attacking the Expendables are suddenly shot and killed by an unknown shooter. Not too violent.

  • Same violence/blood/gore level with the first
  • Non stop graphic and bloody violence/gore including gunshots, sniping, dismemberment, slicing, and executions.
  • A man strikes numerous adversaries with two frying pans.
  • There is a torturous like scene in the first 10-15 minutes of the movie where a man is seen being beaten and being cut with a very sharp knife, they scrape it against his chest, these few seconds dwell on the slice and a bloody cut is seen being drawn across his chest.
  • A knife is kicked into a man's heart, he falls to the ground. We see the knife being kicked into the man with some blood spray.
  • Men are almost constantly killed with throwing knives, bullets, and beat downs.
  • In one scene there is one man left (enemy) and the team all at once shoot him. Very bloody, a lot of bloody spray. We see the bullet entry wounds and blood resulting from the bullets. He eventually falls over.
  • Two men fight one on one, where one gets the upper hand, hits him with chains and wraps them around the man with the lower hand and pulls him towards him and drives a knife into his chest/stomach area.
