Others, like Stallone and Mickey Rourke, have continued slaving away at mainstream film to diminished returns. Many of them went right back to the direct-to-DVD fare in which they had specialized, like Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme. It's not a surprise that The Expendables has done very little for the profiles of some of the actors involved. The camaraderie is so strong in these movies that you rarely see the characters, and the actors, so absolutely vexed by another in their midst. Given his recent imprisonment (both Snipes' and Doc's), his character is a little unhinged, a little "off", as he rambles on about the unseen "original" Expendables, shaving his beard off with a knife.

But when Snipes' Doc joins the group, suddenly the Frankensteined series is alive, brought to life by an errant bolt of lightning. But, when he sees Ross (Stallone), his demeanor changes, offering a sadistic smile, and he begins to run on top of a moving train, annihilating everyone onboard and demonstrating his craft as a fifth-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate.The Expendables has been a franchise that built itself on inevitability, on a formula enacted to a tee. When the elite group breaks him out of jail on a train, Doc has a lifeless expression on his face. In Snipes' first appearance in the movie, he has a gray uncombed afro and a rugged beard to match. Now, Wesley Snipes joins the elite group as Doc. Some of the actors that have made it to the franchise roster consist of Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

The movie is a total adrenaline rush and a great formula for showcasing Snipes' abilities as a rough and tumble superstar.

The Expendables 3 is the third installment of the franchise created by Sylvester Stallone who combines the action stars of yesteryear and sprinkled in new stars likes Jason Stratham to form a group of elite mercenaries.
