If "The Expendables" had been released in 1987, the combined might of Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and pretty much anyone who has ever gunned down stereotypical terrorists on the big screen would have been a license to print money. But today, with its core audience too busy playing video games and BitTorrenting episodes of "Louie," a movie starring some of our greatest action heroes (and Mickey Rourke) isn't exactly a sure thing.

One enterprising fan realized that this, and created an amusing call-to-arms trailer to get guys to turn off "Red Dead Redemption" and head to theaters on August 13.

Basically the video equivalent of Chuck Norris Facts, the manly clip points out that Stallone and the gang are going up against the Julia Roberts estrogen-fest "Eat, Pray, Love" in a time when the multiplex is being ruled by "girls night out" flicks like "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and that movie where Zac Efron talks to his dead brother for some reason. So what better way to sell a "bros broing out" flick than with clips of aging action stars punching dudes to the tune of a 9-year-old Andrew W.K. song?

The original trailer has already been yanked from YouTube by the MPAA (or possibly Julia Roberts' handlers), but keep reading to see another version recently uploaded. Warning: Prolonged exposure to "The Expendables" may cause women to spontaneously become pregnant in the theater.

While entertaining, the trailer fails to point out that the general lack of buzz for "The Expendables" might be due to the fact that we've already seen this movie twice this year in the form of "The Losers" and "The A-Team" (We love a ragtag bunch of mercenaries as much as the next guy, but we're also kind of more excited for the comic book flick "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" also hitting theaters on August 13.)
