Trivia: When stuck in the mine, Gunner says he's going to blow the wall and starts digging around. Barney says he could be onto something, as Gunner has a degree in chemical engineering. Dolph Lundgren, who plays Gunner, has a degree in chemistry from Washington State University, a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney.

Trivia: All of Jet Li's scenes were filmed in Hong Kong, because he was working on another movie at the same time.

More quotes from The Expendables 2

Question: When Maggie asks Barney if he still thinks about Billy after his death, he says "We keep it light until we have to get dark. Then we go pitch black." What exactly does Barney mean by this?

Answer: "We keep it light" refers to their mood. They joke around and tease each other and have fun. "Till we go dark" is when they get serious for killing. "We go pitch black." Meaning as dark and brutal killing machines as possible.
