Reprising their roles for the third time for the franchise includes Brian Austin Green ("Anger Management"; "90210"), Vinnie Jones (Snatch; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), and Danny Trejo (Machete; From Dusk Till Dawn)! The film also stars Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan; Black Hawk Down), Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk"; Hercules), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight; Head Full of Honey) and Lori Heuring (Mulholland Drive; Prom Night) among many, many others as you can see in the trailer.

Armed with an explosive powerful ancient cross amulet, Callan (Brian Austin Green) is back with his extraordinary team of weapons experts to defend Los Angeles from its biggest threat yet—super villains Muerte (Danny Trejo) and Drago (Manu Intiraymi). Callan will have to join forces with his once mortal enemy, Gunnar (Vinnie Jones), to try to save the city. Tom Sizemore returns as Detective Nitti and Lou Ferrigno, DB Sweeney, Jeremy London and Eric Roberts return as The Contractors!
