This is an **original 2010 theatrical advance movie poster** produced for Sylvester Stallone's action blockbuster _The Expendables_. This highly recognizable **Skull Style** design features a dramatic metallic skull surrounded by an explosive symmetrical array of rifles, pistols, knives and ammunition, accompanied by the tagline **“CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON.”**

The U.S. **Skull Style one-sheet is documented as an original 27" x 40", double-sided theatrical poster**, and Heritage Auctions specifically described this design as the **rare Skull Style advance one-sheet** when cataloging an original poster lot from the film.

The poster's upper billing highlights one of the strongest ensemble action casts of the era: **Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews and Mickey Rourke**. Stallone also directed and co-wrote the film, which opened theatrically in North America on **August 13, 2010**.

For collectors of **Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, 1980s/1990s action stars, modern action cinema or The Expendables franchise**, this is arguably one of the most visually distinctive poster designs created for the first film. The skull-and-weapons artwork also gives it considerable standalone display appeal beyond collectors of the movie itself.

## CONDITION

**Excellent / Very Fine collectible condition.**

From the supplied photographs, this example presents extremely well with:

-   **Strong, clean white background**
-   **Deep black and vivid red printing**
-   **No fold lines**
-   **No visible pinholes**
-   **No major tears or paper loss**
-   Clean central skull and weapons artwork
-   Light handling/waviness primarily around the outer edges
-   Minor edge/corner wear consistent with rolled poster storage
-   Strong overall display appearance

The **magnetic holders shown in the photographs do not puncture the poster** and are used only to hold it flat for photography.

I would **not call this Near Mint**, simply because there is some light handling along the perimeter. **Excellent / Very Fine** is a safer collector-grade description and still accurately communicates how well this copy presents.
