Rarely does a great movie poster come out after the movie has already hit theatres, but there’s a new version of The Expendables one sheet for which somebody over at Term Life Insurance had to do some serious bean counting:
Nice. Checking out the numbers here, while Lundgren has by far the biggest total, Stallone does redeem himself with three 70+ tallies. Not surprisingly, those all come in his last three Rambo films. Willis probably could have used a few more Mangalores to off; and who would have figured Statham was that busy in In The Name of the King of all films? Li also puts in a nice total and relative newcomers Couture, Austin and Crews have to step up their game in the future. Mickey Rourke should have killed a couple more of Justin Hammer’s guys, or just started firing indiscriminately into the crowd at the Stark Expo.
Anyway, I love everything about this poster and what it means to mankind.
Thanks to Brian for the tip.

I don't recall Rambo offing anyone in First Blood.
It's unfortunate the Rourke's character was such a lousy shot in "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man", as it would have padded him a bit. It was a nice touch to include Harry Stamper's sacrificial suicide in Armegeddon as a "kill".
What, Rourke gets no love forhis kills in White Sands or Year of the Dragon?
A death to irony!
This doesn't seem to be a poster, so much as simply an infographic. It also feels incomplete; do we really believe that Mickey Rourke's only done three movies where he kills someone?
What would have made this the best poster of all time is if underneath the total on here, they had a "Total Killed in the Expendables" and it beat the previous numbers, as in everyone's movies up to now add up to less than the body count of the advertised flick.
Bruce kills more in Sunset than in Die Hard huh? Who'd have thunk it? And where is Schwarzenegger then? Didn't think a poster bragging of all his kills was a good political move? Bah! You shouldn't be ashamed of your past Arnie (well, maybe Eraser, you should be ashamed of that). And what about Stallone's list not featuring 'Rhinestone'? Doesn't he kill loads in that? What musical notes don't count?
Pretty sure Jet Li kills a bunch of people in "Body Guard from Beijing", and about 16 other movies that aren't listed here.
who did willis kill in armageddon?
Crews would just about hit the top of that list after The Expendables and his Ol' Painless 2.0
to sideshow999, he took out the cop that fell from the helicopter.
They didnt even list "Point Blank" for Rourke, by far his best film. He kills Danny Trejo in that movie, which should count for at least 20.
They missed a kill for willis in Pulp fiction he killed vincent vega, Maynard (pawnshop), and Floyd (the opposing boxer)
I'm pretty sure that Rourke killed a few people in "Angel Heart"
The reason that the poster is incomplete, is because the guy(s) who made it just copied the numbers from my website, http://www.allouttabubblegum.com and didn't bother to watch any of the films that we've yet to count for those actors.
Worse yet, they didn't even bother to include the .com on the poster's "credits"… sigh.
Wow… they ripped off all those numbers from AllOuttaBubbleGum.com and didn't include ANY of the numbers not yet counted by AOBG.
