It is only a few days away until the action flick The Expendables hits theaters. The film is written and directed by Rambo and Rocky star Sylvester Stallone. It promises to be testosterone-filled as some of the biggest names in action movies will come together to pay homage to old school action movies. Stallone also stars in the movie, along with other big shots like Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Mickey Rourke. Bruce Willis and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger are slated to make cameo appearances in the upcoming movie. Two relatively new names will also be seen as members of the hired mercenaries named The Expendables: Randy Couture and Terry Crews.

Randy Couture shot to fame when he became the only player in UFC to become a five-time championship winner. Along with B.J. Pennn, he holds the record of being one of the two players in UFC history to win championship belts in two different divisions: heavyweight and lightweight. He is a member of the UFC Hall of Fame and is considered as one of the most famous fighter in mixed martial arts history. He is an accomplished fighter in various styles like catch and Greco-Roman wrestling. He is also known as The Natural and Captain America. He has appeared in movies like Cradle 2 the Grave and The Scorpio King 2: Rise of a Warrior. In The Expendables, the 47-year old fighter plays Toll Road, the demolition expert of the team.

Terry Crews is a retired football player. He served as defensive end and linebacker at the NFL after he was first drafted in 1991. He was in the football fields for six seasons and played for Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Washington Redskins. After he retired from the sport in 1998, he pursued a career in showbusiness. He was seen in movies like The 6^th Day, White Chicks, and Get Smart. He was included in the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris as Julius, Chris' father. The show lasted for four seasons (2005-09). He currently has his own reality show on BET, The Family Crews, and a TBS sitcom, Are We there Yet? But he is best known in the Old Spice ad campaign, Odor Blocker Body Wash. In the upcoming action flick, Crews plays Hale Caesar, the heavy weapons specialist.

The film will be released in theaters on August 13, 2010, but you also have the option to watch The Expendables online.
