That's right, drives or rides fast, blows shit up and is bad ass with guns, or martial arts...

Whose your favortie Bad Ass?


Me: Steve Mc Queen, (we deal in LEAD mister!), weather he' trying to jump a Nazi border crossing, or robbing a bank, or seducing an insurance agent, he was just bad. Not to mention, he had the real life skills (Jeet kun do, Nascar & moto-cross racing, Rodeo work, and time in the Military) to back up his stuff and often did his own studts...

Good pick, YB. Steve McQueen is a badass, but a bit too oldskool for me.

I'd have to say my all time favorite badass is.....

Severus Snape From Harry Potter.

No, seriously, Jesse Ventura from Predator. The very walking, living definition of badass. He had testosterone oozing from his pores. I think his arms were nothing more than festering pools of testosterone.

Either Arnie or Bruce Willis.

Kick ass manliness personified.

Definitely Bruce Willis. Arnold may have had presence, but Bruce had wit, charm and that sort of average Joe look.

If genetics are anything to go by, I'll look just like him in 20 years.

Ah-nuld Schwarzenegger. The sheer impact he had on my childhood was awesome! From Terminator 2 to Predator to True Lies and Commando and so on. I kept on watching T2 and Pred as a child, I'd play, stop, fast forward until the Beta player broke! ARNOOOOLDDD!!!

Arnold.

Then maybe Jackie Chan, if you consider Jackie Chan movies to be "action" movies.

Clint Eastwood. His Dirty Harry line alone put him on top for me.

Jackie Chan. some of his movies might be ridiculous but ya gotta respect a guy that does his own stuntwork.

Steven Segal. The man is such a brilliant actor and natural martial artist.

How can you top Bruce Willis? Arnie's one liners can be funny, in a corny sense, but Bruce has funny lines and looks good while smoking a cig and wasting the bad guys. :D

Why? Are you related to him?

And I pick Al Leong!

"I don't got time to bleed" :)

Well, I think that Schwarzenegger manages to edge out both Eastwood and Segal. Just barely. (Incidentally, my mom hates all three actors. :) )

No, but my father and uncle are often mistaken for him when they go SE Asia for business reasons.

Bruce Willis, no contest. Although I don't know how well he would've fit in with Predator.

Jackie Chan and the Yuan brothers I guess. I mean, seeing Sammo and Jackie fight like a version of Ryu and Ken and so forth was just way too cool.

Okay, so, I'm mostly in it for the comedy but it was still good action.

Gandalf, Jerry Doyle played Michael Garibaldi on Babylon 5, and he is often described as a "poor man's Bruce Willis" due to bearing a striking resemblance to him.

Now that you mention it, that definitely fits. Though I wonder how different B5 would be if you had Bruce Willis as Garibaldi...

For one, a whole lot more shit would get blown the fuck up.
