Poster 3? /Sixteen/ members, squeezed in like a marketing world record attempt, no scowls, all grinning. Poster 2: huge explosion, eleven members, still scowling. Poster 1: minimal background, nine members, all scowling. They say a lot about the evolution of the retro franchise. When you have a very spare minute, check out the posters for The Expendables 1 to 3.
