Make My Day, Punk--Favorite Action star

[on:]

Who's your favorite?  I listed some of classic action stars.  I wish I could've added more, but adding "other" should help.

Let's not forget:

Steve McQueen
Jackie Chan
Chow Yun-Fat 
Vin Diesel
Harrison Ford
Brandon Lee
Bruce Lee
Jet Li
Dolph Lundgren
Mel Gibson
Clive Owen
Jason Statham
Keanu Reeves
Sean Connery
George Lazenby
Roger Moore
Timothy Dalton
Pierce Brosnan 
Daniel Craig


Clive Owen's role in Shoot 'em Up was awesome.

Clint.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.
Greatest film ever made.

[Reply #2 on:]

My vote went to Clint as well, both for his westerns and Dirty Harry films.

[Reply #3 on:]

Clint Eastwood.... but not John Wayne?

[Reply #4 on:]

I love all those Jackie Chan movies before he got Hollywood famous.  Rumble in the Bronx and Who Am I among my favorite movies.

[Reply #5 on:]

I voted for Bronson. He was hardcore.

[Reply #6 on:]

I understand why many would vote for Clint as favorite action star, but I think that in the end Schwarzenegger did have a greater impact on the genre.

Not to mention that the Dirty Harry films are a bit more than just action films.

John Wayne could hardly walk winna... 

Tough choice between Willis and Eastwood, I mean Brucey is more hardcore but Clint does it with more style... wearing suits while blowing shit up/people away.

probably vin desiel.

Harrison Ford. He's in like, 7 of my top 20 favourite movies of all time.

[Reply #10 on:]

Groovy.

Bruce "Yippee-Ky-Yay, Motherfucker" Willis.

John McClane.  One film.  Die Hard.

That's my vote!

[Reply #12 on:]

Jet Li

[Reply #13 on:]

Gotta go with Clint; Dirty Harry is one of my all-time favorite movies.  "Do you feel lucky, PUNK?"

By the way, nice thread choice, fryfanSpyOrama!  I wish I'd thought of it...

My favorite action star of all time is Clint Eastwood!  I also like Jet Li, Steve McQueen, Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Mel Gibson, and Roger Moore.

Did you like Live Free and Die Hard?  I actually did.  It was a roller coaster ride that I haven't seen since an 80's action movie.

Tell that Captain Danko.

I saw the trailer Rambo, and I'm seeing it.  Even my friend is planning on seeing it and he hardly ever goes to see action films. Sylvester Stallone may be in his 60's but he looks bad ass in this new Rambo movie.

HEROES DON'T DIE, THEY RELOAD

How 80's cliche is that?

Lameness transcends all cultural eras.
