No joke, our stunt guys were begging for mercy,” Stallone said. “Actually, my fight with ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin was so vicious that I ended up getting a hairline fracture in my neck. I’m not joking. I haven’t told anyone this, but I had to have a very serious operation afterwards. “I now have a metal plate in my neck.” The Expendables follows a secret team of special military operatives who work together to overthrow a dictator in South America.
