Be Excellent To Each Other

So if you were going to do a team up of female action stars (probably oldish ones) who would you choose?

Glynis Barber

Uma Thurman

Kate Beckinsale


First scene would see them all in a Jacuzzi together discussing the mission.

Cynthia Rothrock, clearly.

Sigourney Weaver would be a must.. And that's all I can think of.

Geena Davis!

Probably need to knock a few years off her though.

Nadine Dorries
Ann Coulter
Baroness Warsi.

It's a snuff film.

I think Baroness Warsi is quite pretty, so you can't have her in your snuff film.

Michelle Yeoh.

Rene Russo was great in Lethal Weapon 3.

This.

Obviously Cynthia Rothrock is clearly no.1 choice. Sigourney Weaver has been quite good at that whole action thing too. Others I think would be ideal...

Oldies: Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung

Mid oldies: Angelina Jolie, Millia Jovovich

Newbies: Gina Carano, Summer Glau (maybe as the bad guy)

Oh and Pam Grier should probably get a look in as well.

Very good choice for this project. Direct parallel with Randy Couture in the role of not really an actor, but could kick the arse of everyone else in real life.

Thing is her acting was actually quite good in Haywire, surprisingly.

I thought Couture was the best actor in Expendables actually. But yeah, they're not really actors in as much as they're fighters.

The Expendabelles is such a gloriously brilliant title.

It is rather isn't it? I'm ace me.

You started this whole thread just to get that one pun in, didn't you?

Surely there must be a role for Red Sonja

Oh cripes how could I forget Brigitte Nielsen? Yes of course she should be in it.

And I didn't just start this thread for for the pun. Honest.

Yeuch not plasticy old Brigitte.

Plus I don't want Stallone's sloppy seconds.

But she'd fit the bill perfectly!

Indeed. Sloppy Stallone is in the existing film, after all.

Should probably mention Grace Jones at this point, too.

Probably. Though this is just turning into a list of female action stars now...

And what was the Expendables?

Claudia Black.

I'd add Michelle Rodriguez, Erin Cummings and Julia Voth, and, obv, Vasquez.

Rodriguez does fit even though I don't like her. I wonder if Jeanette Goldstein can still do the toughness thing when she only did on only one film. I don't know the other two.

Yeah. She'd be the Dolph Lundgren one.


Then you need to watch Bitch Slap.

I'll chip in Kristen Cloke of Space: Above And Beyond fame.



A gorgeous gal, but completely convincing at hand-to-hand combat, firing guns, and piloting fighters.

Goodness me. 29 posts before someone posts a pic?

Shame on us all.

Good point.

Here are mine, but visually:

I stand by my previous assertion.

Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock and... Danny Baker?

Demi Moore, Sharon Stone and Kylie. I cant think of any others right now.

Thatcher.

If you're going to nominate actresses from Bitch Slap, it's only proper we go to the source.

Tura Satana.
