[UpsideDownFlag]

Poll question: top movie badass of all time

my vote goes to clint, he is the fucking man.

[Rowdyboy]

1. Have to vote my heart and that evil rethug Mel Gibson

Mad Max was, well, mad...

[UpsideDownFlag]

3. oh crap, i meant to add him.

oh well.

[Fenris]

2. Patrick Swayze!

:D

[UpsideDownFlag]

4. ...he was a pretty boy, not a badass.

ala "dirty Dancing".

[Fenris]

6. I beg to differ

ala "Roadhouse".

[salinen]

5. Robert DiNero

Taxi Driver
Deer Hunter
Raging Bull
Midnight Run
Goodfellas

[UpsideDownFlag]

15. i beg forgiveness. he should have been on there

and he's tied with clint for first place.

[bo44]

7. Bruce Lee

I am sure he changed the way Hollywood fight scenes are staged in film and how actors prepare themselves for fight scenes. Plus, he looked cool doing his thing.

[TroubleMan]

8. Jimmy Wang Yu

He was a badass in real life, too.

[flamingyouth]

9. Where's Patrick Swayze in "Road House"?

I mean, what man other than Patrick Swayze could fight all those guys and not even wrinkle his linen pants? He must have not even fastened his seat belt! He never had wrinkles in his pants! It's a miracle! :D

[mark11727]

10. Samuel L. Jackson!

[gardenista]

18. Yeah, it's the one that says "Bad Motherfucker" on it.

Love that line, spoken to Tim Roth, who is trying to retrieve Jackson's walleet from a trash bag.

[mark11727]

28. ENGLISH, MOTHERF*CKER...! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!?!?!

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee...!

[LTR]

43. "'What' ain't no country I ever heard of"

"Now that's a tasty burger"

[shanti]

30. yup, another vote for sam!

gotta love him!

[acmavm]

11. Had to go with Clint Eastwood. The movie, which I really like oddly

enough, that made me think that the guy was the bad ass of all times was 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'. Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach, three really bad dudes.

[lazarus]

12. Jules Winnfield

From Pulp Fiction, Jules:

"Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass."

Jules : What does Marcellus Wallace look like?
Brett : What?
Jules : What country you from?
Brett : What?
Jules : "What" ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?
Brett : What?
Jules : ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO-YOU-SPEAK-IT?
Brett : Yes!
Jules : Then you know what I'm saying!
Brett : Yes!
Jules : Describe what Marcellus Wallace looks like!
Brett : What, I-?
Jules : Say "what" again. SAY "WHAT" AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker. Say "what" one more goddamn time.
Brett : He's b-b-black...
Jules : Go on.
Brett : He's bald...
Jules : Does he look like a bitch?
Brett : What?

Jules : DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?
Brett : No!
Jules : Then why you try to fuck him like a bitch, Brett?
Brett : I didn't.
Jules : Yes you did. Yes you did, Brett. You tried to fuck him. And Marcellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody, except Mrs. Wallace.

And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

[Kire]

45. agree

[Mr. Blonde]

13. Also voting for Samuel L. Jackson

Especially anytime he is in a Tarantino flick. How is the piano player in a church a bad ass? I don't know but Rufus certainly was in KB2.

[democracyindanger]

14. Other, with justification

Clint would've ended up another pretty boy if not for

[lazarus]

21. Oh, man

I change my vote. It's gotta be Mifune.

[The Traveler]

16. Chow Yung Fat deserves a mention

before he left Hong Kong. "A Better Tomorrow". "Rich and Famous". John Woo expends more ammo than the Marine Corps.

[Mr. Blonde]

17. I thought it was

"The Killer" and "Hard Boiled".

I have been upset that I cannot lay my hands on a copy of The Killer.

[gardenista]

20. I love Chow Yun Fat

I have a picture of him on my refrigerator. Taken with my nephew, who was at at the same car show as he was. It's a great shot, with my nephew flashing the peace sign, and Chow Yun Fat flashing his million- dollar smile.

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. Snake Plissken

No other justification needed

[shawcomm]

22. No offense, but...

is your list white or what! No Richard Roundtree or Fred Williamson?

[UpsideDownFlag]

26. i made it in like 30 seconds, and knew i was missing people.

that's why i wrote in other.

[UpsideDownFlag]

27. shame on me for missing samuel L jackson.

[shawcomm]

32. You are one wise Caucasian, Jib.

Just don't do it again, you dig?

:evilgrin:

[UpsideDownFlag]

33. yeah. the funny thing is, i just watched pulp fiction the other day.

[Poiuyt]

31. Shaft!

Can you diggit?

[fknobbit]

34. Bond

James Bond!

[UpsideDownFlag]

35. he's too sauve to be a badass.

but he is pretty cool.

[mitchum]

36. Lee Marvin and Fred Williamson

[Wapsie B]

37. Between the spaghetti westerns

and Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood is tops in my book.

[JSJ]

38. lee van cleaf n/t

[VOX]

39. Steve McQueen.

He was rugged, he was tough, and he had serious credentials. He was wild and unpredictable and his talent shined through in every role he played.

[Baja Margie]

47. Yea,

I love Steve Mc Queen. He was supposed to have been a bad boy off screen, too. There's a place down the road, they call it the Pyramid now, it used to be an alternate medical facility. Anyway, that's where he stayed and went through their "treatment' right before he died. I always think of him when I drive past it.

[Susang]

40. I like Terrence Stamp in The Limey

Its all there, right in those ice blue eyes. If you know who killed his daughter, he is going to beat the shit out of you. If you killed his daughter, he's going to find you and kill you, no matter what.

[Nordic]

41. the bad guy in the original "The Getaway"

best bad guy EVER.

[pbg]

42. Jack goddamn Palance

Shane
Attack (with Eddie Albert)
The Professionals

[CanuckAmok]

44. The killer from the European version of "The Vanishing"

He'd eat Hannibal Lechter for breakfast, ans still have room for the Banjo Kid from Deliverance.

[Guy Fawkes]

46. Bruce Campbell, DUH!!! eom

[ze_dscherman]

48. Klaus Kinski

Especially as Loco in "The Great Silence". He really was a madman!
