He also had bronchitis and shingles during the shoot. A flare is slower than the plane, meaning that firing it backwards would still make it fly in the direction of the plane, only slower. The flare passes through the cloud of flammables, but doesn't ignite it.
The explosion stops at the end of the pier for no reason, even though the highly flammable cloud extends beyond the pier all the way to the plane. Quotes Sandra : What are your names?

Connections Featured in Breakfast: Episode dated 8 July User reviews Review. Top review. Solid boys-own action but could have done with a few more thrills and a bit more in the way of comic relief.
With the cast it had it was no surprise that The Expendables was being hyped long before it arrived in cinemas anywhere. The answer of course is "no" and I doubt anyone expected it to be any other answer.
However the real question was can the film produce the boys-only, 's action movie fun that the summer season needed. The answer to this question turned out to be "sort of" because The Expendables has plenty to enjoy about it but yet somehow falls short of what it could have been.
The plot is essentially a small group of mercenaries heading into a tropical island in order to take out the dictator and his ex-CIA puppet-master: so far, so "one man against endless ethnic army" 80's style plotting. And indeed so it is, complete with unnecessary violence and overblown physical actions and seemingly indestructible heroes.
It plays out just the way you expect it to do and those looking for action sequences will enjoy the many fights and scenes where everything blows up Terry Crews in particular demonstrating to the world why Infinity Ward were out of their minds to make the AA a "secondary" weapon in Modern Warfare 2! The downside of the action is that, while it is enjoyable, it doesn't deliver enough of two key things.
The first of these is genuine thrills. It comes close and there are good moments but generally you find yourself sitting back watching the mayhem for the sake of mayhem, whereas I would prefer to be sucked into and really gripped by the action - I wasn't really here; instead most of the action is of the video game style — where the enemy just keeps spawning in front of you and getting chopped down by powerful weaponry.
The second thing that isn't as prevalent as I wanted was comedy. We get the odd bit here and there, but really Jet Li's "because I'm small" speech is probably the high point.
What was needed was more comedy mixed in with the action. There were a few kiss-off lines but nothing memorable or even "good". These are important because it makes the excess easier to enjoy as just part of a fun package — the film not having enough suspense or thrills makes the lack of this "fun" all the more obvious and notable of a gap. The cast do help though and not just in terms of having big names in there. They do have an easy charisma between them and they all play off each other well — whether it be Stallone and Statham or the brief cameos from Willis and Swarzenegger.
Crews isn't used particularly well but otherwise I liked everyone else in it, even if there were probably too many of them to really do much with — I thought it was a good move, despite appearing to be an ensemble piece, to put most of the focus on two of them rather than spreading it evenly around. This is a custom stainless steel straight razor with an Acid Green perspex folding handle where the blade nicely slots into.
It has the name "Ceasar" engraved on the blade. Although traditionally a shaving utensil, Hale Ceasar uses this as a throwing and cutting weapon.

Ross then decides to abort, and causes casualties among the army as they escape, but feels guilt for leaving Sandra behind.
During vital points in the film, it is revealed that Munroe controls the actions of Garza, in exchange for Garza's wealth. Jensen and a number of Munroe's men tail Ross and Yang, instigating a shoot-out during a car chase. Just as the pursuit ends in an abandoned warehouse, Yang and Jensen fight each other a second time. Jensen eventually gets the upper hand and attempts to impale Yang on a pipe, only for Ross to shoot him. Believing that he is going to die from his gunshot wound, Jensen gives the layout of Garza's palace to Ross.
The Expendables then infiltrate Garza's compound, with Ross bent on rescuing Sandra while Christmas, Yang, Caesar, and Road plant explosive charges throughout the site. When Garza has a change of heart, Munroe kills him. Ross briefly rescues Sandra, only for Sandra to be re-captured by Munroe. The entire team fights and shoots their way through scores of Garza's henchmen.
Ross and Christmas catch up to Munroe and manage to kill him, saving Sandra. The film ends with the team celebrating their victory at the bar of former teammate Tool Mickey Rourke , with the reformed Jensen and Yang having reconciled with each other and Lee and Tool challenging each other to a game of knife throwing. Before his final throw, Lee recites a poem about his respect for Tool, who he claims cannot beat him in knife throwing as he walks outside of the bar before turning to make his throw, which lands perfectly in the middle of the screen, implying that it landed at the center of the board.
