Sylvester Stallone never made an Expendables movie without shedding some blood. But Expendables 3 pushed him to his limit.
“I grade the quality of a film by the intensity of the injuries,” he once joked. “When I shot ‘Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot,’ I never got hurt. Through ‘Rambo‘ and ‘The Expendables,’ I break my neck and my spine and I dislocate both shoulders,” he once joked in an interview with Mirror.
By that standard, the 2014 sequel should have been an instant classic. The action star suffered a brutal fall during filming, leaving him with a permanent battle scar. “I had some metal put in there,” he admitted during the same interview. “So if you hear any squeaking, it’s not my shoes but my back. But I’m getting better.”
