The ExpendaBelles - Expendables female cast spinoff (D: Luketic)
Okay, I'm only using the Expendables as an example in that it is a movie with a who's who of male action stars from both the past and present. I'm wondering what kind of female cast would make a movie that is somewhat of an equivalent. Feel free to contribute your own wishlists.
My cast in no real order:
Demi Moore
Sharon Stone
Scarlett Johannsen
Megan Fox
Gena Carano
Eliza Dushku
Zoe Saldana
Ashley Judd
Natalie Portman
Maybe an Amy Acker bit part for good measure and Hayden Pantierre cameo

as an all out ass kicking movie? That was kind of already made (although poorly and as a waste of time) as Bitch Slap.

Sharon Stone
Rachel Ticotin

But there are three "current generation" action stars thus...

Gotta have Moon Lee in there (in the Jet Li role)
And Charlyne Yi can play her butt kicking sister.

Re: The Expendables with female stars:who would you cast?
I thought this thread was started by Ash Ketchum when I opened this.
No matter what....it'd have to have Michelle Yeoh. She can act and really kick your ass. She's probably one of the few women alive and still (semi) young enough to challenge Jackie Chan's feats. Watch Police Story 3: Supercop. Just...amazing action from her. Yes, Madam as well is pretty badass.

Re: The Expendables with female stars:who would you cast?
Sanaa Lathan was the reason I liked any of Alien vs. Predator. Surprised that, unless I missed it, nobody mentioned Naomi Watts.
Also:
Patricia Arquette
Cate Blanchett
Elisha Cuthbert
Gina Gershon
Frances MacDormand
Rene Russo
Elisabeth Shue
I read a quote once where Chloe Sevigny lamented she had never been offered an action movie either. She gets my approval.

Re: The Expendables with female stars:who would you cast?
I would add:
Ellen Page
Carey Mulligan
I think both would look pretty awesome in fatigues and cradling automatic weapons.
And how could you guys all leave out Zhang Ziyi?

Re: The Expendables with female stars:who would you cast?
If we're using five contemporary stars as the primary leads and, say, three others in assorted roles ...
Kate Beckinsale in Underworld mode:
Natalie Mendoza from The Descent:
Carla Gugino as a gun-wielding technology geek:
Zhang Ziyi in the "Jet Li" role:
And, well, we could throw KB V.2 Uma Thurman in as a sensei/mentor cameo-style character that teaches advanced techniques.
-----
I'd love to see Linda Fiorentino as a villain:
... with Natalie Portman as her assassin-type character, a good/evil conflicted semi-heroine:
And maybe Summer Glau as her secondary henchman, who stays "evil":
