The Expendables 3

Bruce Willis was set to reprise his role of Mr. Church, at a salary of $3 million ($750,000 per day for four consecutive days). However, Willis reportedly demanded $1 million per day instead, or a higher pay with a reduced shooting schedule. Co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger was said to be particularly upset by this, and despite Sylvester Stallone trying to smooth things over, he and the producers refused Willis' demands, so he left the film. Within three days, Stallone was able to get Harrison Ford to replace the Church role as a new character. Ford's quip about being called "short notice" alludes to these events (which were well publicized long before the film premiered). Upon being asked why Willis left the film, Schwarzenegger simply tweeted the word "Greedy", and when asked if he missed working with Willis, he simply answered: "Not everyone is built for teamwork." Crew members who worked on both films said that the atmosphere on the third movie was substantially lighter without Willis.

Stonebanks tells Vata that X-rays damage the oils in artwork, and therefore customs doesn't scan them. X-rays are actually frequently used to examine paintings. This is the method by which changes made by the artist, rough sketches, or even completely other works, are discovered underneath.

The end credits feature a montage of scenes from the film with the crew credits printed on dog tags, except for the main cast credits, showing their portraits along with pictures of the weapon of choice.

At a press conference, Sylvester Stallone claimed that 80 frames (just over three seconds) were cut to secure a PG-13 rating in the USA. This footage, along with some strong language and other non-contentious material, was restored for the unrated Blu-ray version, which runs for around 5 minutes longer. The majority of the reinstated material concerned violence, and amounted to much more than the 80 frames initially referenced by Stallone.
