Get to know the Most Curious Facts of 'The Expendables 3'
'The Expendables 3'. For this reason and because we want you to enjoy the film to the fullest, we leave you its most unknown data:
1.
Bruce Willis was to reprise the role of Mr. Church, with a salary of $3
million ($750,000 per day for four consecutive days). When he asked for a
million a day, Sylvester Stallone and the producers refused and the actor
left the film. Within three days, Stallone was able to get Harrison Ford to
replace the role of Church with a new character.
2. Jason Statham almost suffered a fatal accident when, while
he was filming an action scene, a trailer fell into the sea after its brakes
failed.
3. Sylvester Stallone tried to get Wesley Snipes to play the
role of Caesar Hale in 'The Expendables' (2010). Ultimately, Terry Crews
stepped into the role of the character after Snipes declined due to legal
issues related to tax evasion charges that prevented him from leaving the
United States without court permission. Wesley Snipes landed the role of Doc
shortly after his release from prison.
4. Jet Li was the highest paid actor even though he appears
less than 5 minutes on screen.
5. When Toll Road (Randy Couture) asks Doc (Wesley Snipes) why
he was locked up, Doc sarcastically replies, "Tax evasion." In 2008, Wesley
Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison for the same reason. He served
time from 2010 to 2013.
6. Sylvester Stallone offered Jackie Chan a supporting role,
but the actor turned it down due to scheduling conflicts and because he
preferred a leading role.
7. In addition to the role of the main villain, Mel Gibson was
offered to direct the film, which he turned down.
