Greatest Action Hero of All Time
Again, sorry about the lack of posts lately - it's been hectic. One thing that is overdue here is determining more of our hero's. So I put it to a vote....greatest action hero. The qualifications are: at least 50 people have to die in the movie, the hero himself must come close to dying or be in a lot of pain, they have to blow something up or something spectacular like it, and they must have a very memorable line that has been requoted by you when looking in a mirror. Here are the nominations.
John McClain (Bruce Willis - the original "Die Hard")....personally, He get's my vote.
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford - Any of the trilogy)
James Bond (Sean Connery specifically 'Goldfinger')
Jason Bourne (Matt Damon - Any of the trilogy...but maybe he was the ultimate BA in "ultimatum")
The Terminator (Arnold SCHWARZENEGGER - now he is such a Hero in all his movies, but this is his 'magnum opus')
Maximus (Russel Crowe - "Gladiator")
Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal - "Under Siege")
Rambo (Sylvester Stallone - "First Blood II")
Harry Callahan, ala Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood - 'Dirty Harry')
Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson - "Mad Max" - )
I debated with Mel Gibson on whether or not I should go with his character from Lethal Weapon or not, difficult choice. There are some characters I may have left out intentionally or unintentionally. But vote away.....

Charles Bronson would kill all of those guys.
thanks for getting us back on track.
I'm gonna have to vote for Bruce Willis as well. The pistol taped to his back in Die Hard is still one of the manliest moments of all time
The Belly of the Beast would like some royalties for this McDowell's version of the Master of Death tournament.
Bruce Willis...hands down

Gray..not quite sure what your referring to, but we would appreciate a vote of some kind while your here.
I got a phone call from one of my college roommates who wanted to record that 5 people in his office wanted to vote for Jason Bourne and 2 wanted to vote for Bruce Willis....so i guess they're getting a lot of work done there.....nice
also, my official vote is for Bruce.
I've got to give the slight nod to Maximus, only b/c he has taken down man and beast, before there were guns.
good call Mark, lack of weapons really does speak volumes for him. Also chopping some guys head off with 2 swords is pretty cool.
i know he didn't kill anybody, but how has no one voted for Indiana Jones? or James Bond? Sean Connery as Bond is the man and gets my vote
