When the group is commissioned by the mysterious Mr. Church to assassinate the merciless dictator of a small South American island, Barney and Lee head to the remote locale to scout out their opposition. Once there, they meet with local rebel Sandra and discover the true nature of the conflict engulfing the city. When they escape the island and Sandra stays behind, Ross must choose to either walk away and save his own life - or attempt a suicidal rescue mission that might just save his soul. |

Goofs

Continuity: When Barney Ross and Ying Yang stop by a traffic light just before the car chase with Gunner Jensen, the car behind them slows down and stops. When the camera changes angle the same car is seen from a distance slowing down and stopping again. Continuity: The final time that Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) gets into the cockpit of the plane, he gets into the seat while wearing a tactical vest. When he is shown from the front, he no longer has the vest on, but is wearing a t-shirt. Crew: In a scene where Sandra and Barney are talking in her truck, a large piece of plywood is seen bouncing in the bed of the truck through the back window. In a shot of the back of the truck as it is driving away, the plywood is gone. Continuity: When Stallone and Statham's characters are investigating the island, Stallone's goatee changes color from black to grey. When he is avoiding the troops in the street it is clearly grey, but when driving in the truck it is again black. Later on, on the same island it changes to grey once again. Revealing mistakes: In the bar where Barney meets Sandra, there's a beer ad written in Portuguese (Cerveja Itaipava, a popular Brazilian beer), although Spanish is the official language. Revealing mistakes: There is writing in Portuguese ("Despacho Aduaneiro") in the Vilena customs building. Continuity: Sylvester Stallone's character cuts off the guys hand and head of bad guy #1. He then throat stabs bad guy #2. On the left side of the frame, the first guy is laying on the ground with his head re-attached and his face is moving. Continuity: When Barney is running after the plane while trying to get off the island the gun magically disappears and reappears in his hand during the run. Revealing mistakes: When the seaplane turns to the right immediately after take off from the island's port, there is no movement of the ailerons. This scene is clearly CGI. |

Yin Yang: Yes, I do! Everything is harder for me. When I'm hurt, wound is bigger, 'cause I'm smaller. When I travel I need to go farther. Barney Ross: I know, because you're smaller, right? Yin Yang: Yes. [pause] I need more money. Barney Ross: I know, you told me. Trench: Have you been sick? You've lost weight. Barney Ross: Whatever I've lost you've found, pal.
