Backstory
- The team is based in the United States with a hangout there.
- Doc states that the group started out as a group of five (consisting of Doc, Barney Ross, Conrad Stonebanks, Hammer and Woodsman) and then expanded to a group of twenty-two total members.
- The group, according to Stonebanks, ran missions for the C.I.A. when the latter group didn't wish to get their hands dirty and decided to hire others to clean up the messes they couldn't fix.
- For transportation, the group used the all-metal dual-engine XP 2112 flying boat for the first two films. At the end of the second film, they switch to the all-metal radial-engined GZ-1162 biplane.
Trivia
- It is implied that all members of the group have fake names.
- The website Cinema Lowdown had some humor-based posts on the Expendables feats as well as some amusing numbered lists related to the cast.
