Suggested Manlier Re-Cut Of The Expendables 2 – ManlyMovie

Suggested Manlier Re-Cut Of The Expendables 2


While I did enjoy The Expendables 2, I thought its main problem was the overuse of self referential humour and a general tendency towards happy go lucky cheesiness overall.  So I decided to edit the copy of the movie that I own and purchased in 2012, removing the goofy shit where possible.  To compliment their removal, I added some deleted scenes which exist for the movie, such as Randy Couture and Terry Crews killing more men with shotguns at the airport.  The original runtime was 103 minutes.  The runtime of the version I have edited is around 99 minutes.  For those wondering, I ripped the Blu Ray version that I own and edited it with Sony Vegas.

Here is a list of what was changed.  You can check the movie back and see what you think and if anything else could be removed, or added.  There are a few other alterations I would like.  I think that the hue and colour of the transfer could be cooled down, maybe, Terminator 2 style.  A colder and meaner soundtrack would also help this movie.  What other movies could this be tried with?
