Alright, round two is over, and it looks like luck was definitely on your side this time, haha. 😁 Whatever, it’s all part of the game. Two days down, two more to go... anything can happen.
First, here are the confirmed answers from round two, then we move straight into the new third round.

QUESTION NO. 5.

We were all kids once, just like these legendary action heroes. Can you guess which heavy hitters are in the pictures below?

Just list the number and the actor's name for whoever you think is under that number. Getting all 7 right gets you 3 points, 4 (or more) gets you 2 points, 2 or 3 gets you 1 point, and anything less than that is a -1 penalty subtracted from yesterday's total.

NOTE - the actors listed below aren't just members of The Expendables crew.

ANSWER:
1 Chuck Norris
2 Jason Statham
3 Vin Diesel
4 Bruce Willis
5 Jean-Claude van Damme
6 Arnold Schwarzenegger
7 Dolph Lundgren

QUESTION NO. 6.


Which action titles are hidden behind these anagrams?

a. A Law Red
b. A Clarinet Shoot
c. A Esthetics Lip
d. Damn Salting Ants
e. Bat Closets Youth
f. Ed Hi Twinkly Slow On Toot

Getting all 6 right earns 3 points, 3 correct gives you 2 points, and anything less than that is 1 point. And if you mess up every single one—just like everyone else has done so far—you lose a point.

ANSWER:
a. A Law Red - Raw Deal
b. A Clarinet Shoot - Last Action Hero
c. A Esthetics Lip - The Specialist
d. Damn Salting Ants - Last Man Standing
e. Bat Closets Youth - The Last Boy Scout
f. Ed Hi Twinkly Slow On Toot - Showdown in Little Tokyo

QUESTION NO. 7.


How many differences can you spot in the image below? It is extremely important that you do NOT mark, describe, or mention them in any way! Just find them, count them up, and write the number. Tomorrow, I'll confirm how many there actually are and show where they're hiding.

ANSWER: 10

image

QUESTION NO. 8.

In the image below, three different scenes from three different action movies have somehow been mashed together. My question is: which movies are they? Getting all three right earns 3 points, two correct earns 2 points, and one correct earns 1 point.

ANSWER:
1. Tango & Cash
2. Universal Soldier
3. Damage
e

image image image

QUESTION NO. 9.

Which action star, who also happens to be part of The Expendables, is in this picture, and what movie is it from?

A full answer gets you 3 points, while a half answer (only answering one of the two parts) gets you 1.5 points.

ANSWER: Gary Daniels - Cold Harvest

The standings are a mess and everyone’s points are all over the place. Some people seemingly gave up right after round one because they didn't score enough early on, even though there's plenty of time to turn things around in the coming rounds. Others missed questions during round two—hopefully by accident—and basically threw away easy points. Anyway, here’s how the leaderboard looks after round two...

Contestant P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9

dr mladjo 4 -1 2 1.5 / 6.5 2 * 3 * * / 5 = 11.5
Paskaneman 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23
evil bastard 3 3 3 4 / 13 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 28
red F 3 -1 2 3 / 7 2 3 3 3 3 / 14 = 21
Han Solo 3 * * * / 3 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 18
Deckard 3 -1 3 3 / 8 2 3 3 3 3 / 14 = 22
Wild Horses 3 * * * / 3 1 * * * * / 1 = 4
fadedseal8 3 -1 * 3 / 5 3 3 -1 3 3 / 11 = 16
macondo 3 3 3 3 / 12 2 3 -1 3 3 / 10 = 22
xax233 3 3 * * / 6 * * * * * / *
La Familia 3 -1 * * / 2 * * * * * / *
pennyworth 3 -1 2 * / 4 3 3 -1 1 4 / 10 = 14
kiki_zg 3 -1 2 3 / 7 3 3 -1 2 3 / 10 = 17
~~~RI~~~ 3 -1 2 3 / 7 2 3 3 3 3 / 14 = 21
feralnomad58 3 -1 2 3 / 7 2 4 3 3 3 / 15 = 22
Falco SM 3 3 * * / 6 1 3 3 * * / 7 = 13
Ono 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23
TheColossus 3 3 3 3 / 12 3 3 3 2 3 / 14 = 26
593 3 -1 * 3 / 5 3 3 * * * / 6 = 11
WHUFC 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23
Kimi#1 3 -1 2 * / 4 * * * * * / * = 4
Jacob J.Harper * -1 * 1.5 / 0.5 2 3 * * * / 5 = 5.5
boldwalker2 3 -1 2 3 / 7 * 3 -1 3 3 / 8 = 15
azzie_elbub 3 -1 -1 3 / 4 3 * -1 * -1 /1 = 5
Christian Williams61 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23


Leading the pack is still evil bastard with 28 points, followed closely by TheColossus at 26 points. Currently, we have a tie for third place between Paskaneman, Ono, WHUFC, and Christian Williams61, all sitting at 23 points. We'll see what today brings and if the board shifts tomorrow.

Let's keep this moving...👍

ROUND 3

The rules haven't changed since the last few days...

QUESTION NO. 10.

The cast from The Expendables have worked with all kinds of directors over the years, from big names to guys you might not recognize. In the images below, you'll see some members of The Expendables crew paired with the directors they've worked with. Your job is to match the actor to the director—basically, link the bullet to the letter—and then list which movie they actually made together.

for example:

A-1 Hard Target
B-3 Bloodsport

and so on.

To keep things simple and avoid confusion, each actor listed here has only worked with one specific director shown in the pictures. I intentionally left the directors' names out so I wouldn't make it too easy for you, so strictly speaking, mentioning a director's name if you recognize them is banned. Everyone's playing for themselves here, so think for yourself.

If you nail all 8 pairs, you get 3 points. Get 5 right, and you get 2 points. Hit 3, and you get 1 point. Anything less than that puts you at -1. Mentioning a movie title earns you a bonus point.


Let's Play👍

I said no director names or actors... just numbers and letters...

EDIT PLIZ...and make it snappy😉

All good... thanks...

Doing it that way would totally kill the vibe of the sweepstakes. Everyone would just Google the directors using those codes and find them in a heartbeat. This way, people actually have to do their own digging...

No, absolutely not. That’s a massive hint right there.

Actually, I was thinking along those lines too. You misunderstood my point. I meant we should be picking movie titles...

Yeah, I totally botched those titles. Whatever, I guess it stays that way...

I was thinking the movie title could act as a little extra bonus point, but honestly, I'll just scrap that idea. Only a few people actually nailed it anyway. It wouldn't be fair since some folks used titles and others didn't.
