"I grade the quality of a film by the intensity of the injuries. When I shot Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, I never got hurt," said the star. "Through Rambo and The Expendables, I break my neck and my spine and I dislocate both shoulders.

"In this one here, I end up really taking a fall on my back and had some metal put in there, so if you hear any squeaking, it's not my shoes but my back. But I'm getting better." Sylvester, who plays Expendables leader Barney Ross, was joined by co-stars including Jason Statham, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas and Kellan Lutz for the film's world premiere. Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson also star in the film. The Expendables 3 opens in cinemas on 14 August.
