I have yet to right about Machete, but it is giving The Expendables a run for their money for most bad-ass, ultra-rockin' cast (WARNING - the word ass will be used a lot in this post). Machete is Robert Rodriguez's upcoming film which is an expansion of a fake trailer which was featured in the 2007 film Grindhouse. I don't really want to get into the details of either movie because with these casts who gives a shit what their about. What I would like to do is more of a breakdown of the casts and see who ends up on top.
Alright, so The Expendables has Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, a rumored Bruce Willis and a small role for Arnold. That's jam packed with kick-ass, old school action stars ready to raise hell. Machete has a lot more rumored casting, but is starting off just like The Expendables with a lot of rumors and then an explosion of awesomeness. So far the cast of mostly rumors includes Danny Trejo, Steven Seagal, Bruce Willis, Jonah Hill, Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, and Michelle Rodriquez. Although Machete obviously has much less people since it is in an earlier stage of production, Danny Trejo is probably the biggest bad-ass of them all and negates half of the cast of The Expendables all on his own. Also, Brittany Snow is in The Expendables which takes it down a few pegs. However, her lack of anything resembling bad-assness is probably negated by the same issue with Jonah Hill. No offense Jonah, but a fat guy with a jew fro and neck whiskers is not too intimidating. The Expendables also gets bonus points because Eric Roberts is hilarious.
I think so far the nod has to go to The Expendables, but as the casting continues look for more updates on this vicious duel.
