What if The Expendables Had an Entire Female Cast?

The muscles and bullets of the 80′s are invading theaters. This resurgence has resulted in success at the box office for Sylvester Stallone and the rest of his Expendables; but what if the cast was made up entirely of female action stars? Would audiences be just as excited as they were for their male counterparts? Rumor has it that a female version of The Expendables is in the works. Who would lead the cast? Who would be fan favorites from old school flick to modern blockbusters? (Cinema, The Expendables 2)

Cynthia Rothrock is the true queen of 80s action.

But then Richard Norton would have to be in it too.

That's a good list right there. I'd probably add in Lucy Liu and Jennifer Garner as well.

I was definitely considering adding them, Kill Bill, Charlies Angels, Daredevil, Electra, and Alias are all examples why they should be in the honorable mentions. But this was a really fun article to write and poster to photoshop.

the picture looks stupid

but this would involve giving mila jokavich more acting jobs and nobody wants that

I like very few on that list.

I believe there is one, but it's listed under the gay midget porn section.

Just tried to imagine Schwarzenegger or Stallone screaming and crying at the funeral scene. XXXD

How is Scarlett on this list of "Action," Heroines? So her 1 little role in Avengers puts her at the top of the list over other women that actually do action movies?! This list is garbage and only panders to teen fap dreams.

Hell your runner up Glau has more action under her belt then Scarlett. Also Gina Corano has one movie "Haywire," An she is thrown straight into this movie really?! No one knows her hell not even the MMA crowd knows her anymore.

Such a bad cast.

Did you not read the article? I clearly stated that she is new to the action scene. And if you saw The Expendables 2, she is the character who gets killed.

And whether you like it or now, be prepared for Gina Carano to be on the silver screen more and more.

This article was just a fun opinion piece on a hypothetical question.

no Michelle Yoeh?

i think she'd be better for the Jet Li/martial arts role than Zhang Ziyi, who is actually a dancer rather than a martial artist.
Bathyj  +   246d ago
I thought that was Pink on the end.

We already have that movie. It's called Charlie's Angels..

Epic fail of a list without Cynthia Rothrock. Most of these women are very recent action stars, leading me to believe that the author was either born in the mid 90's or doesn't watch many action flicks.

The Author was born in 1973.
