[Little Wing]

12. Why? He was just a dick who liked to kill women

Seems like a most un-badass way to go about life.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

by a gaggle of women. Badass, no?

[bigwillq]

10. Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction

[masshole]

14. Marv (Mickey Rourke) from Sin City

[NewJeffCT]

[Initech]

52. The chinaman is not the issue here! I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude!

ACROSS THIS LINE, YOU DO NOT!!! Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature here, Asian-American please.

Come to think of it, Walter was more of a badass than the Jesus was.

[youthere]

30. Michael Madsen

he's pretty badass in all his movies, but was especially memorable in Reservoir Dogs:



and Kill Bill:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

50. Definitely.

[maveric]

57. Every time I hear that Stealers Wheel song it sends a chill up my spine.

One of the most vicious and frightening movie scenes EVER!

[youthere]

58. Ah yes...

I can't listen to it either without the visual. Pretty powerful cinema. I wonder how many songs are like that?

Stuck In The Middle With You
( Stealers Wheel )

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got a feelin' that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down those stairs
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
Here am I stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wonderin' what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losin' control, I'm all over the place
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
Here am I stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Well, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wonderin' what it is I should do
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
I don't think that I can take it anymore
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
Here am I stuck in the middle with you



Well, you started off with nothing

[YankeyMCC]

31. Steve McQueen

Although I have to say the new Bond guy Daniel Craig may end up usurping that if he does more Bond the way he did it in Casino Royal.

[NewJeffCT]

36. I think McQueen is probably the quintessential tough guy

Though I might put Vito, Sonny & Michael Corleone on the list as well.

[YankeyMCC]

37. Ah yes Mr Caan

That's the other one I was trying to think of...I agree with your add ins ;)

[HughBeaumont]

32. The Man with No Name.

Followed by V and Indiana Jones.

[NewJeffCT]

38. Another one

[NewJeffCT]

39. An underrated one - George Clooney

From Dusk Till Dawn
Three Kings
Ocean's 11

[ohiosmith]

53. Good call. Especially Dusk Till Dawn.

[MissMillie]

41. Ripley

[azmouse]

42. Ripley kicked major alien ass!

[edbermac]

43. Mary Poppins

Mess with her and she'll open her umbrella...inside a very sensitive area...:hurts:

[Wapsie B]

44. Dirty Harry

Hands down.

[Broken_Hero]

45. a hard question, I can pinpoint my fave, but here is my top ten...

So, I'll give you a top ten....and in no particular order.

1. Clint Eastwood, man with no name trilogy, to the Unforgiven, and his cop movies...

2. Arnold....Conan the Barbarian was awesome...still one of my top ten fave flicks.

3. Vinny Jones-from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells, to Bullet Tooth Tony in Snatch....

4. Sam Jackson-Pulp Fiction...need I say more?

5. Kate Beckinsale-Underworld, and Evolutions

6. Uma Thurman-Kill Bills...she was amazing.

7. Christopher Reeve-Superman...:D Come on, you had to know I was going to say that one....:D

8. Malcolm McDowell-A Clockwork Orange....

9. Terrence Stamp-Zod....need I say more?

10. Christian Bale-Batman, to American Psycho...

[MAGICBULLET]

46. Absolutely Beatrix Kiddo!! what a lady

other memorable ones I think,

Humphrey Bogart in Dark Passage and many others
James Cagney - Public Enemy
Toshiro Mifune in Yojimbo and Sanjuro
Benicio del Toro in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Gabriel Byrne in Miller's Crossing
Larenz Tate in Menace II Society
Linda Hamilton in the Terminator (even though she started out as a victim, she turned badass)
Randall 'Tex' Cobb who plays Leonard Smalls a.k.a. "Warthog From Hell" in Raising Arizona

[Forkboy]

47. Well duh!

:)

[Cannikin]

48. My apologies, dial-up folks. One pic doesn't do this bad-ass justice...so heres about 20..sorry..lol

[PassingFair]

49. First guy that sprang to MY mind.....

Too cool for school, Robert Mitchum. He AGED SO WELL!

[ohiosmith]

55. I read somewhere that he got so pissed off at a director that he tied his shoe laces together and

hung him upside down from a lamp post.

[Mad_Dem_X]

59. Oh yeah!

MAJOR bad-ass!

[Kat45]

51. Another one: Richard Widmark pushing the old lady in a wheelchair down the stairs

while laughing, in "Kiss of Death." That was a real shocking bad ass in 1947.

[cobalt1999]

54. Al Pacino in Scarface.

[Frank Cannon]

56. Robert F-ing Mitchum

I can't think of a movie where he didn't command the screen or--if playing a bad guy--make you think that he would just as soon kill you as look at you.

[unpossibles]

61. Bruce Lee

his characters always start off not wanting to fight, get pushed into it, then suddenly (licks blood off self) ... it becomes personal.

TEACHER!!!



actually, he is a hero of mine on and off screen. Great mind. Shame he died so young.

[Rob H.]

62. Terence Stamp as Wilson in 'The Limey'

Technically he's not my favorite (Eastwood's Man with No Name holds that distinction) but it's an excellent movie and Stamp is fantastic in it.
