Who says “old timers’ can’t draw at the box office? “The Expendables 2” has been #1 at the box office for 2 weeks, so it’s obvious that fans still want to see an older Sly, Arnold, Chuck and Bruce kick some ass and run roughshod over the bad guys. They may be older, but they still have it and judging by the numbers at the box office, making this sequel was no mistake as some thought it would be. While they are all now in their 60′s, Bruce in his 50′s, they still manage to be convincing in their roles in dealing with the bad guys and showing them just how tough they are. While they did a lot of their own work, there were a lot of stunt people used in this sequel for obvious reasons.

But fear not, this is not the only version of the “Expendables” that is going to be available to movie fans. There is one more version coming out soon that will put a very adult twist on the Sly versions.

This was a film made to be done as an adult parody and who better to helm such a major project than the genius of Axel Braun? Not only has he fashioned a parody that is loaded with hard hitting action, stunts and fast paced sequences, it also has some very white hot, steamy sex scenes throughout the film providing another kind of action that will turn on viewers. But Braun known for his attention to detail and pulling off what seems impossible has really turned the tables with this parody. He has top females performing the male roles in this version.

Playing the role that Sly created will be Kimberly Kane, AVN’s Best Actress in 2010. Other reversed roles will be handled by 2011 AVN Best Actress Andy San Dimas, AVN’s Best new starlet 2012 Brooklyn Lee plus Kylie Ireland, London Keyes and Anna Foxx. However, the most clever bit of casting comes in the female who will play the role that Arnold Schwarzenegger created. Braun was able to convince AVN Hall of Famer Tera Patrick to come out of a 6 year retirement to take on this very pivotal and important role. Ms. Patrick has become a legend in the business since she broke out on Digital Playground, then her own Teravision company and along the way won dozens of awards for her work, including her very first award from NightMoves for Best New Starlet in 2000.

Axel Braun has been one of the most awarded directors in adult film in recent years for all of his fantastic films that include Spider-Man, Superman, The Avengers, The Dark Knight and many others. Now we have a tremendous film with Braun’s vision and eye towards perfection ready to entertain and turn on viewers when it comes out on September 30. So if you’re a fan of the original Expendables with Sly and company, besure to give this one a look and see just how exciting, fun and action packed (in more ways than one) this version from Axel Braun and Vivid Entertainment will be. I cannot wait for a preview copy to review right here on AAN!
