#7. THE EXPENDABLES (SYLVESTER STALLONE, 2010)
#7. THE EXPENDABLES (SYLVESTER STALLONE, 2010)For many, The Expendables is a dream come true. A fusing of every single classic action star put together into one movie. Shaken around with some explosions, guns, knives, fist fights – resulting with one hell of a film.
This is the class reunion of muscle men. Everyone who has shown up on our list so far teams up into one super group. You have Stallone, Lundgren, Statham, and Rourke. Heck you even have a cameo of Arnold thrown in there. Sure these guys are all older now, but that doesn’t change the fact that this film is the greatest hits of powerhouse muscles.
There’s also some great “newcomers” to our list as well. Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Jet Li, and Steve Austin all provide some extra strength to pad out the ultimate ensemble of a muscle movie.
They even tried to get Van Damme and Seagal into this film, which would ultimately complete the 80s/90s action reunion. But sadly it didn’t work out. (Van Damme would eventually sign on for Expendables 2).
The Expendables is basically the Top Muscle Movies list put together into one non stop action packed film. So we can’t deny placing this in the top ten of our list. These guys are all icons – and with this movie they prove that they’re time isn’t up just yet.
