The Expendables posters unveiled

We all know that The Expendables is going to be bad-ass.

But for those in doubt, we present the flick’s two new posters. The first, grooving a funky Grindhouse look, comes courtesy of Showest, who have revealed a whole load of cool posters over the course of their event – including yesterday’s Scott Pilgrim first look .

The second is a another beast entirely, and looks meaner than a truck driver after a 24-hour shift. Some clever arty chap has gone haywire with the copy-paste function and created a devilishly awesome skull-angel by using, um, a skull and a busload of savage weapons. Bad. Ass.

Take a look below, and click for hi-res versions.

Released in cinemas on 20 August, 2010, The Expendables is a “hard-hitting action/thriller” following a group of mercenaries who are hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its brutal leader.

But as the mission takes off, the men become the victims of betrayal and deceit as what they thought they knew is exposed as a lie.

We want to see it. Yesterday.

Think this is mission: expendable?
