Expendables promo trailer blasts online!

An extended batch of promo footage from Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables has arrived online and you can peep it below.

It looks like a loosely cut trailer for the film, of the type used to sell it to distributors - and it's loaded with the sort of quick fire action (and humour) we can expect from the finished product.

Yes, get ready for a bone-crunching, bullet-pumping, bad-guy killing mash-up of explosions and fighting as a mercenary team fight to overthrow a South American dictator.

Everything's OTT here, and with the likes of Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Eric Roberts and Mickey Rourke all aboard, it's like an '80s action movie got thrown into the future.

We'll have to wait until later next year to see it, but for now, go feast your eyeballs until they pop.
