Barney Ross: John Wayne
Lee Christmas: Clint Eastwood
Yin Yang: Bruce Lee
Gunner Jensen: Bo Svenson
Toll Road: Chuck Norris
Hale Caesar: Fred Williamson (Switched from Jim Brown)
Tool: Robert Mitchum
Trench: Lee Marvin
Mr. Church: William Holden
And there would have to be room for Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson in a sequel.
Villains:
General Garza: Robert Shaw
Munroe: Robert Vaughn
Paine: William Smith
That would have been so cool, but I would have Clint as Barney, and McQueen, as Lee. A cameo by Yul Brynner would be appropriate.
shareYeah, I was thinking of the age difference between Barney and the younger Lee. And as a westerns fan, would want to see Wayne and Eastwood together.
Expendables 2: 1974
Vilain: Yul Brynner
Booker: Charles Bronson
Maggie: Nancy Kwan
Billy the Kid: Keith Carradine
Still wouldn't know where to put McQueen; maybe as Booker, I picked Bronson because he usually played loners.
Hmmm. Good choices. Sure would be cool to rewrite history and have this happen and Bruce Lee be alive to do the 3rd one. Might I add a few things and/or changes?
Add Sonny Chiba in the place of The Brit. Would be an awesome fight between Sonny and Bruce.
Fred Williamson could also make a great Hale Cesar.
McQueen or Coburn can play Monroe.
Wonder who could play Hector from the first to battle Clint.
When Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to die.
You got some good picks, too. Really agree with Fred Williamson as Hale Caesar. I watched Vigilante and From Dusk Till Dawn again since making the initial post, and was impressed how much of an impression he could make in a short amount of screen time.

Good choices all.. but where's Lee Marvin?
EDIT: oops just saw him. Thanks, guys.
