    Yanin Vismitananda, Carrie Anne-Moss and Geena Davis (maybe throw in a Susan Sarandon cameo), to replace the non-action Sean Young, Kim Basinger and no-FUQing-way Demi Moore.

    Pam Grier is Terry Crews? I wonder which detective made a connection between the two. Where's Uma Therman? Or Aliens' Vasquez? I don't care enough about her to open IMDB but yeh, she should be in haha!

    Selma blair, sarah michelle gellar, carrie-ann moss, juliette lewis,.... Plenty badass girls to go around. Except, it's really a question of wanting real actresses or chicks who'll take their top off but have chuck norris-acting skills. In that case, megan fox.

    Is this actually being made? Or is this just a hypothetical movie?

    Angelina Jolie deserves a mention. She wasn't half believable as Lara Croft n Mrs. Smith. Shame about the c**p scripts. Also Zhang Ziyi.

    To be fair, the whole expendables concept is golden oldies from the 80's, so Demi Moore, Basinger etc. are probably a fair shout.

    Exactly, keep it vintage. 80s and 90s heroines only please... but will someone please revoke the author's sense of humour? Those tag lines were -atrocious-

    Personally I'd go for Adrienne Barbeau into a role, along with Maggie Q rather than Michelle Yeoh. Then of course there's JeeJa Yanin and Eliza Dushku for a couple of younger characters. The film's tagline could be "It's that time of the month and these girls were p****d enough already."

    An alternate list. Big screen only (so no Buffy tVK): 12) Linda Hamilton - Sarah Conner. What a transformation from T1 to T2. Them Mom's will protect their cubs. 11) Angelina Jolie - Forget her other characters, Mrs Smith alone gets her on my list. 10) Lucy Liu - Gotta love how she runs a business meeting. She'd be my #9 except for... 9) Uma Thurman - Got head from Lucy AND pulverized the 88's. 8) Zoe Saldana - Columbiana, Losers, Avatar. That's a lot of action. 7) Jennifer Garner - Elektra. Red is now my favorite color. 6) Anne Parillaud - Can't understand a word of French but you gotta watch La Femme Nikita with the sub-titles. 5) Carrie Anne Moss - The Matrix Trilogy of course! The list got really, really hard for me at this point. 4) Jenette Goldstein - Vasquez. "No! Have you?" Nuff said! 3) Michelle Rodriguez - No explanation needed. 2) Sigourney Weaver - Ellen Ripley is my #1 tough character (man or woman) and was my initial #1 choice but... 1) Milla Jovovich - The body of work of tough gals, starting with Alice, was just too much for Ripley to overcome. I know there are lots more that could be on this list but 12 spaces made it pretty tough and these are, after all, just my own humble opinion. Additionally, I haven't seen every movie ever made.
