Started talking about with a friend of mine who thinks The Expendables is going to be amazing. The idea got me thinking seeing how villains and the actors that play them don't ever seem to get the credit they deserve. Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman were the first names that came to mind when we were discussing it as well as Anthony Hopkins and Christopher Walken. So if you could make an action movie featuring villain actors who would you cast?

I'd like to toss in a wildcard, Sam Rockwell.

Hugo Weaving seems like an obvious choice for all his work as Agent Smith and the upcoming Red Skull. Can't think of many other off the top of my head. Robert Patrick for the T-1000 would be good but he's more known as just a character actor than a bad guy.

I'd put in Alfred Molina too, and also Jack Nicholson could just be Jack Nicholson

Javier Bardem, Daniel Day Lewis, Alan Rickman's a great choice.

Has Liam Neeson every played a bad guy? I kinda think he would be awesome as some evil dude.

Realized that no one has said Al Pacino so I guess I'll name drop him. I have no idea what you would call this movie though...

I believe you're thinking of Batman Begins in which he played Ra's al Ghul.

Can you really talk about villains without mentioning Tim Curry?

Tcheky Karyo, he was the French dude in Kiss Of The Dragon, he was a pretty good villian I thought.

Bolo Yeung has to be in there somewhere. He was the go-to "evil guy with muscles" in a ton of 80s flicks, most notably Bloodsport. He would be the counterpart to Dolph Lundgren.
