What do you get when you take Rambo, Wong Fei-hung, the Terminator, He-Man, John McClane, the Crimson Dynamo, and the Transporter and place them in one movie? Yep, you get The Expendables. This weekend’s box office kings shouldered past the competition to take the number one spot.

Sly Stallone’s manly offering raked in an estimated US$ 35 million, breezing past chick-flick Eat Pray Love and action-comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Despite less than favorable reviews from critics, an unsurprising number of men and a surprising number of women turned up to support the ensemble cast of 80s and fairly recent action superstars. The cast includes Sylvester Stallone (who also wrote and directed), Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, and Gary Daniels, with Bruce Willis and Arnold Scharzenegger dropping in for cameos.

With testosterone levels at an all time high and with names that can arguably launch blockbusters on their own, what’s to be surprised about?
