The Electables
We should make a Filipino version of The Expendables featuring the Pinoy action stars of the 80s and 90s. We’ll call it…The Senators starring Ramon Revilla, Bong Revilla, Lito Lapid and Jinggoy Estrada, with the special participation of former President Joseph Estrada.
There are gasps when Liam Hemsworth appears: Aaaaaaa someone under 60 who is not Jason Statham! Then he speaks and we remember why we prefer his older brother Chris.
When Clint Eastwood watches The Expendables does he tell himself, “There, but for taste and intelligence, go I?”
Then again Dolph Lundgren got a Fulbright scholarship to MIT and see what that got him: a running joke within a running joke. And a bigger salary than most of us will ever earn, so the joke’s on us.

There’s a lack of George “ER” Ejercito Estregan Jr. in the list above, kahit na governor pa lang siya. (As his constituent, I am always baffled on how to call him or address him properly: ER Ejercito? George Estregan Jr.? Jorge Estregan? Emilio Ejercito? Asiong? Should I use everything?) Maybe as a special guest/boss villain.
Not related to this, but I would like to link a Chris Evans gif (from one of those Avengers behind the scenes videos, in the “dat butt” category): http://radiophile.tumblr.com/post/30154948161

Loved the Chuck Norris bits.
I guess it was too much to ask for a cameo from the super heroic older brother.
Pinoy Expendables! Robin Padilla!

Ayyy we forgot George/ER/Jeorge/Governor of Laguna Ejercito!
The villain could be former Congressman Dennis Roldan.
