I am a huge fan of action movies. Especially classics like Die Hard, and Terminator 2. I also really like newer action movies like Transporter, and combat films like Bloodsport, and Jet Li’s Unleashed. Coming out later this year is a film called The Expendables which features an incredible ensemble cast of the who’s who of action films in the last 30 years. The film surrounds a team of mercinaries hired to kill a south american dictator. This team stars Sylvester Stallone (Rambo, Rocky), Arnold Schwarzeneger (Terminator, True Lies), Jason Statham (Transporter, Snatch), Jet Li (Cradle 2 The Grave, Unleashed), Mickey Rourke (Sin City, Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Dolph Ludgren (Rocky IV, Universal Soldier), Bruce Willis (Die Hard), and UFC legend Randy Couture. When I think about this incredible team of action film superstars another team comes to mind. The Dream Team is the name given to the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic USA Men’s Basketball team. The team Featured all the greatest players of an era and many of the greatest of all time. David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Chris Mullin, Christian Laettner, and last but certainly not least the greatest of all time Michael Jordan. I have no doubt that the Dream team would win in a basketball game (the expendables would probably do better than Angola who lost 48-116), and that the Expendables would defeat them in a war scenario. I call the expendables a dream team because they have every quality needed for combat sucess. They have martial artists (Jet Li, Randy Couture), Great Weapons experts (Bruce Willis, Sly Stallone), and Scary Europeans (Dolph Ludgren, Arnold). Just think about it, wouldnt you be scared if Rambo, Ivan Drago, the Terminator, John McClaine, Jet Li, Randy Couture, and Marv from Sin City.
