You mean like Stallone, Arnie, Willis (to an extent)...

It's a shame these casts weren't brought together 20 years ago, would have been even more epic than now.

How about Samuel L Jackson and Harrison Ford, and yep Chan and maybe the guy from Hot Shots (if he's not on his drug bender). Also Segal would be a possibility.

All so old though!

Arnie in Sly are in their mid 60s. Willis is in his mid 50s. With the exception of Arnie they're still in relatively decent career and physical shape.

The Chuck Norris meme really did more PR for him than anything he's done in twenty years. Guy's well past it and has been for a while.

Clint eastwood!!!!

Now that would be epic

Charlie Sheen? Wouldn't exactly call him an action hero.

He did Hotshots which deserves him a place... He is probably more well known than a few in the original Expendables IMO.

That's why I said to an extent.

That waterboarding scene in the first one was probably the worst single torture scene in a film I have ever seen. 2nd only to the snake down the throat in that Arnie film...horrible!

Wouldn't say no to a Rutger Hauer appearance either.

Dunno about women really, from that period I guess they could drag out Brigitte Nielsen, but that would go horribly wrong!

The women would have to be from the newer era, again someone like Michelle Rodriguez. Although Sharon Stone stared in a few Sly/Arnie films back in the day

Hotshots is hardly an action movie like the others have done, it's quite clearly a comedy.

Would much prefer Michael Biehn to someone like Charlie Sheen... Hope they give Danny Trejo a call too

boxman2000 · 14 Sep 2011 at 16:39

Erm, Sheen probably best known for Platoon is he not?

I wouldn't even consider him for a role amongst those guys. The original was good but the Willis/Arnie cameo was a bit of a farce.

Not sure about Segal, definitely more so than Jackie Chan though

A TINY extent. Barely any extent!

Needs Kurt Russell and Sheen.

The first was so bad, the only memorable thing was a big gun if i recall.
I can't even remember if it was a comedy. It was a comedy, right? God I hope so.

StonedPenguin · 14 Sep 2011 at 17:07

I thought the first was pretty dire too, A good lineup of actors but it didnt work very well.

As said, Hot Shots is a comedy.

I will not abide another comment stating that Chuck Norris is no longer in his prime. :mad:

Did you see his latest starring role? Past it.

I thought a video of him presenting Hannity and Colmes would go someway towards conveying a my sarcasm.

Just watched the first one again, still think it's pretty awesome.

You can never tell these days, to be honest!

Arnold Schwarzenegger will reportedly take on a bigger role in The Expendables 2.

The actor is to spend four days filming his sequence for the follow-up to the action film, according to Den of Geek.

Schwarzenegger filmed his part in the first movie in less than a day alongside Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis. It is thought his role in the sequel will still be in a supporting capacity.

The Expendables 2 began filming at the start of the month in Bulgaria, its star Jason Statham recently revealed.

Chuck Norris has joined the rest of the cast for the shoot, with the film due for release in 2012.
