10 Awful Movies With Incredible Casts
4. The Expendables
Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Mickey Rourke
Going into The Expendables, we knew it was going to be cheesy as hell. But with a cast populated with nearly every action star from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, any fan of explosions and car chases was dying to see it. The director, writer, and lead star, Sylvester Stallone, stated that he never pushed himself harder in his life to make the best movie possible. Considering he suffered 14 injuries including a ruptured ankle and a fractured neck, you know Sly isn't exaggerating.
Sadly, the final result was nothing special. At first, you might think, "Well, what did you expect? It's an action movie, right?" However, other action flicks like Predator, Commando and Rambo were dumb but still had mesmerising action and hilarious quips.
On the other hand, The Expendables has atrocious CGI, badly edited fights, and first-draft dialogue.
Even though the sequels stuffed in more action legends like Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford and Chuck Norris, the franchise has never been as great as it should be.
