The Expendables (released in the Philippines as Full Battle Gear) is a 1988 Filipino-American action film directed by Cirio H. Santiago and written by Philip Alderton.

The men are sent out to blow up a bridge and manage to destroy the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) guards.

The team is next sent on another mission to capture two village women, and then another to destroy an enemy base where another member is killed.

They kill all of the NVA forces in the base, but their mission gets tougher when a prisoner escapes and captures American women and holds them hostage.

The Expendables was released as Full Battle Gear by Jadestar Films in the Philippines on March 30, 1989.
