The Expendables 3

Trivia: Barney asks Drummer where Church is and Drummer replies "forget about him, he's out of the picture." A reference to Bruce Willis wanting too much money for his part in the film, hence he was cut out of the picture.

Trivia: In the opening scene, Dr. Death states he was sent to prison for "tax evasion." The actor who played Dr. Death, Wesley Snipes, was actually sentenced to prison from 2010-2013 for tax evasion.

Mistakes

Factual error: Their 'spot' for drinking is apparently in the French Quarter because of the street signs. That said, they are drinking Budvar beer. If you know about Budvar, it is the original Budweiser beer from the Czech Republic. Budweiser sued Budvar and won, preventing them from using the name 'Budweiser', even though Adolph Busch came up with 'Budweiser' after going to Pilsner, Czechoslovakia. Budweiser being the bully, and their lawyers and all, won the lawsuit. So now the beer is sold as 'Czechvar' in the US and 'Budvar' everywhere else, meaning they couldn't be drinking it in the USA.

Questions

Question: The opening scene with the train crashing into the military base played out an awful lot like the Macbeth boss fight in Star Fox 64. Is this on purpose?
