Aided on the red carpet for one night only by the hugely popular team from Channel 5's Gadget Show - including host Ortis Deley - DS went super tech for this rather special premiere.

Contrary to the cliché of the film's biggest star arriving fashionably late and strutting past the hordes of fans, main man Sylvester Stallone - sporting a nifty green velvet smoking jacket - rocked up to the packed carpet bang on the dot of 6pm to a rapturous reception.
Joined by his wife Jennifer Flavin and their three daughters, Sly worked his way seamlessly up and down the vast runway, greeting hysterical fans and posing for selfies.
The movie's other 'ard nuts, both young and old, were hot on Stallone's heels, and Digital Spy managed to nab one or two of them for a few brief words on their way in to the cinema.
What to Read Next
Expendables newbie Antonio Banderas dazzled DS with his Hollywood smile, and instead of likening himself to his beefcake contemporaries, told us that he rather preferred the moniker of "most romantic" cast member.
Wesley Snipes, by far the most celebrated arrival, clearly felt blessed to be back on the big screen. He said that he's enjoyed playing with "big boys' toys", and is looking forward to plenty of follow-up projects - both on the big and small screen - in the near future.
But perhaps the most intriguing arrival was that of footballer-turned-actor Vinnie Jones. Declaring that he's been "friends with Sylvester [Stallone] for ages", perhaps Vinnie was hinting to us that he's eyeing up a role in the rumoured Expendables 4?
So, if the action series rolls on and the Elementary and Galavant star does ink a deal to join the cast, remember that you heard it here first.
