Chuck Norris wanting ‘Expendables 2’ cut down to a PG-13 rating was confirmed by AintItCoolNews when Sylvester Stallone told Harry Knowles that “The film is fantastic with Van Damme turning in an inspired performance… Our final battle is one for the ages. The PG13 rumor is true, but before your readers pass judgement, trust me when I say this film is LARGE in every way and delivers on every level. This movie touches on many emotions which we want to share with the broadest audience possible, BUT, fear not, this Barbeque of Grand scale Ass Bashing will not leave anyone hungry…”
As “good” as ‘Expendables 2’ might be, the first film was so over-the-top with violence, I cant imagine what a PG-13 cut of the sequel would look like. Dolph Lundgren literally had a gun that made people’s top halves dissappear. I’m pretty sure there’s no way something like that can be classified as suitable for PG-13. Also, Goddamn, Chuck Norris…
