3. Randy Couture Burns Steve Austin To Death (The Expendables, 2010)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SpL9ltKcUo Ever wonder who'd win in fight between pro wrestling legend Stone Cold Steve Austin and MMA hero Randy Couture? No, of course you haven't, because pro wrestling is predetermined and Austin has no real fighting experience. We may never get to see that battle, but 2010's The Expendables came as close to delivering the answer as possible. During the film's climax, Toll Road (Couture), fighting for the heroes' team, comes face to face with henchman Dan Paine (Austin), and the result is a fight that sees Road come out the victor - a decisive victor, as he throws Paine into a roaring fire, killing him. Yup, that'll do it alright. Austin's death screams are no more believable than the phoney flames, making the scene all the more amusing.
