Kelsey Grammer ("Frasier"), who did acting career action but asked to be in the film, Michael Bay managed to leave of absence 4 days of filming of "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and travel to the set of "The Expendables 3 ".
Who could not make a Jackie Chan was hollow, with Stallone looked forward.
"He was very busy, but no worries, we will have it the next," Stallone said.
The production was full of anecdotes and action not reduced to what is seen on screen.
Ortiz and Rousey trained together in a gym and came to challenge each other in the ring, with the result of the Latino boxer on the floor under a key to the fighter.
