Maniac Wiseguy has passed along an interesting new tidbit on Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables. While the movie will bring back a lot of 80's action stars and will likely feature numerous explosions contributing to a high body count, UGO reports that producer Avi Lerner has revealed that Lionsgate and Millennium Films will test out a PG-13 version for screening audiences.
The revelation came from the producer when asked about the hard violence we saw in Stallone's fourth installment of Rambo and whether we will see that same type of violence in the rumored Rambo V.
It should be noted that there will also be a hard R-rated cut for The Expendables and it too will be tested as well. With today's DVD release market, having two separate versions is nothing new for moviegoers. The question remains on which version will be released in theaters though. The PG-13 version or the hard R cut?
