The B-Team -- B-movie Expendables with Rothrock, Dudikoff, Speakman

B-movie Expendables in the works

.....

PNG reports that Wilson, Cynthia Rothrock, and Michael Jai White are the leads in a sort of Expendables team of B-movie stars. Wilson updates us on a replacement for White, and an additional lead. “These are the names the producer right now has said he wanted: Michael Dudikoff, Jeff Speakman, Cynthia Rothrock and myself,” Wilson said.

In addition, Wilson has his sights on even more B-movie stars for co-stars, who could shoot very small cameo roles while Wilson, Speakman, Rothrock and Dudikoff are holding down the production for six weeks in PNG.

“Those four positively, but since there’s a lot of bad guys and a lot of good guys in it, there’s room for anybody that’s going to be available,” Wilson continued. “They would only be in for a few days and then out. The ones I listed, we would have to be in New Guinea the entire six-week shoot but the other actors can come and go. There’s going to be plenty of action and the game plan is to get as many guys as we can get in. I literally know every one of them.”

Other names that Don "The Dragon" Wilson mentioned in the article include Mark Dacascos, Richard Norton, Karen Sheperd, Billy Blanks, Jerry Trimble and Loren Avedon.

Can't say I watched very many of their movies, but I do remember these straight-to-video titles scattered all over the Blockbuster and Hollywood Video shelves headlining names like Olivier Gruner and Daniel Bernhardt, or how there were like eight Bloodfist movies with Wilson playing a completely different character in an unrelated storyline each time. I think William Shatner was even in one of them.

One of the actors from this era, Gary Daniels, even appeared in the first Expendables movie.

Most of the stars of The Expendables are B-movie actors as it is. These guys sound more like the C-list, if that.

"The Disposables"

Hilarious, this is actually up my alley, I watched all those guys back in the day. Not quite the same effect as a lot of times movies would have a couple of these guy in it back then but might be fun.

They should just make this Expendables 3. It's exactly the same thing!
 
Re: The B-Team -- B-movie Expendables with Rothrock, Dudikoff, Speakma

The only person on that list I'd even classify as a "b lister" is Dacascos, and his most famous role is on a cooking show. :lol:

The B and C level action heroes VS the straight to DVD action heroes!


Statham VS Michael Jai White

Norris VS Billy Zane

Arnie VS Tom Berenger

And where the hell is Tim Thomerson? :scream:

I remember him in a Robert Patrick movie that also starred Andrew Divoff and Brion James. I guess all they were missing was Rutger Hauer.
 
Re: The B-Team -- B-movie Expendables with Rothrock, Dudikoff, Speakma

Tim Thomerson is the absolute king of the B-movies. No one even gets close to his record.

AFAIK, Thomerson and Brion James served in the Army together. I think they did a tour in Nam or something.

The Asylum can afford Mario Van Peebles and Carl Weathers in the same movie. That's about it.
 
Re: The B-Team -- B-movie Expendables with Rothrock, Dudikoff, Speakma

They should get Rodrigo Obregon, who was in almost every Andy Sidaris movie.

Aragorn, didn't you anticipate this very development some time ago? I seem to remember you posting either a thread or just a question in another thread along the lines of 'So who would be the direct-to-DVD Expendables?'

Looks like someone else was reading it...

And will there be a straight-to-video version starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Jeff Speakman, Billy Blanks, Marc Dacascos, Cynthia Rothrock, David Bradley, Jeff Wincott, Oliver Gruner, Lorenzo Lamas, Brian Bosworth, Michael Dudikoff and Steven Seagal? :)
