I love the concept of the Expendables series, of taking all the action stars and throwing them in together, but something that has nagged me is that everyone involved is so old. Chuck Norris is 72, for Christ sake.
The prime time for the film, of course, would have been in the 90s (likely the early 90s). By that time, the action film is the great money maker of the day, and all the famous action stars have made all these great films through the 80s, and even the 70s for some of them. So throwing them all together as an action team would seem to be an incredibly smart idea.
So what if the "Expendables" type of film were made in the 1990s?
