The Most Bad-Ass Roles of The Expendables I and II

Sort by: Showing 15 items
Average listal rating (774 ratings) 6.4  
1. Sylvester Stallone
Lieutenant Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti in Cobra (1986)


''You're the disease, and I'm the cure.''

This is where most people would say Rambo, but Rambo got nothing on Cobra. With his bad-ass aviator shades, match in his mouth, cool 1950 Mercury Monterey and of course his custom made 'cobra' guns.

2. Jason Statham
Chev Chelios in Crank (2006) and Crank: High Voltage (2009)


''I told you I'd kill you, you little bitch!''

This guy is insane. You don't want to get in his way when he is out for revenge. He will do anything to keep his heart going till the end. Wether it's his real heart or a fake one.

3. Jet Li
Han Sing in Romeo Must Die (2000)


''Here's the deal, Meatball. You let me go, I let you live.''

I am not a big Jet Li fan and have not seen a lot of his movies, but he was pretty cool in this one. You don't want to play rugby with this guy.

4. Dolph Lundgren
Lt. Nikolai Rachenko in Red Scorpion (1989)


''Noisy little fuck.''

Dolph is most knows for his villain roles in movies like Rocky IV, Universal Soldier and Johnny Mnemonic, but his most bad-ass role is definitely this guy. Killing bad guys left and rights with his huge gun and short shorts.

5. Terry Crews
Hackman in Gamer (2009)


''I've got no strings, so I have fun. I'm not tied up to anyone. They got strings, but you can see, there are no strings on me.''

This guy was the best thing about Gamer. Hell, he was about the only good thing in Gamer next to Michael C. Hall. This guy was really scary. If i ever meet him im sure i would piss myself.

6. Mickey Rourke
Marv in Sin City (2005)


''I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad.''

You can't get much cooler then Marv. He looks beat up, wears a trenchcoat (everyone looks cool in a trenchcoat), and he don't give a shit about anyone except for the woman that was nice enough to sleep with him. Make the damn sequel alredy, Rodriguez!

7. Steve Austin
Jack Conrad in The Condemned (2007)


''You know, I don't know who you are, and I don't care. But I don't play games.''

Steve Austin, like most of the WWE guys, are not a good actor at all. He was pretty bad-ass in this movie tough.

8. Eric Roberts
Alex Grady from Best of the Best (1989) and Best of the Best 2 (1993)



"Kill that son of a bitch."

He is the only guy to ever look cool with a ponytail. Yeah, you read that right Mr. Seagal.

9. David Zayas
Angel Batista on Dexter (2006-2010)


''Because you're like a retarded puppy.''

This guy might not look like a bad-ass, but he has helped tracking down some of the biggest serial killers in Miami. If only he could manage to arrest them before Dexter kills them.

10. Bruce Willis
John McClane in Die Hard (1988), Die Hard 2 (1990), Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) and Live Free or Die Hard (2007)


''Yippie-kai-yay motherfucker.''

Could i really choose someone else for Bruce Willis? John McClane has to be the biggest bad-ass of all time! He is a chain smoking, foul mouthed, down on his luck cop who always ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time. And yet, he always manage to beat the shit out of every bad guy that comes his way and make a bad joke about in after he is done. If you have not seen the Die Hard movies, you can just go fuck yourself.

11. Arnold Schwarzenegger
John Matrix in Commando (1985)


''Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? I lied.''

Out of all the great Arnold characters, this guy has the best one liners. I had a hard time choosing just one to put under the picture, so here are some more great ones:
''Let off some steam, Bennett.''
''You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.''
''I eat Green Berets for breakfast. And right now, I'm very hungry!''
''Come on Bennett, lets party!''
''Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired.''
''Fuck you, asshole!''
''Come on, you piece of shit. Fly or die.''
''We'll take Cooke's car. He won't be needing it.''
''You son of a bitch!''
There is more, but you have to watch the movie for them.

Chance Boudreaux from Hard Target (1993)



"Now take your pig-stick and your boyfriend, and find a bus to catch."

He punches out snakes. What more do you need?

13. Chuck Norris
Matt Hunter from Invasion U.S.A. (1985)



"If you come back in here, I am gonna hit you with so many rights you are going to beg for a left."

It's been i while since i saw this film, bu i think he stopped an invasion of America all by himself. All a remember is the last scene of the film when he shoots villain with a bazooka. You can't go wrong with a bazooka.

14. Scott Adkins
Yuri Boyka from Undisputed II: Last Man Standing (2006) and Undisputed III: Redemption (2010)



"If I am king of toilets, then what does that make you when I beat the living shit out of you?"

He is an unstoppable fighting machine. He is definitely one person i would never want to end up in a fight with.

15. Liam Hemsworth
Thor from Thor (2011)

No wait, that was the other Hemsworth...

As a big fan of the good old action movies of the 80's and 90's i am really looking forward to this movie, and it's getting closer and closer to it's release date so i decided to make a list of the most bad-ass roles of some of the cast members.
