So the German editions will be

The Expendables 2 - Back For War (4 minutes cut for a 16-releases)
The Expendables 2 - Back For War - Special Uncut Edition (no extras?)
The Expendables 2 - Back For War - Limited Special Uncut Edition (Steelbook, audio commentary, featurettes, deleted scenes, gag reel)
The Expendables 2 - Back For War - Limited Uncut Hero Pack (special packaging (?), audio commentary, featurettes, deleted scenes, gag reel)

I really wonder why they have to issue two "extra special" editions. The steelbook is a special packaging already. What might the Hero Pack be?

It's like they did for the first movie: the "Hero pack" is not just the disc and includes goodies like a poster, belt buckle, photos, maybe a t-shirt and whatnot...

Saw the movie.

Better than the first one but not THAT much better.

Dolph did not get to do any cool fighting, really. A little disappointed in his role.

Chuck Norris' cameo was quite strange and felt very forced.

Arnold and Bruce Willis were good together.

They should probably have killed off a "real" Expendable to get the audience emotionally invested.

They cut most of his action moments and most importantly his "fighting and singing Swedish"!!!

NOOOOOOOO!

But that leaves it open for a good Extended version, though...

"fighting and singing Swedish"! Sounds awesome!
