OK, suppose these legendary Hollywood badasses got into a big fistfight...

Poll question: OK, suppose these legendary Hollywood badasses got into a big fistfight...

Who would win?

[AlCzervik]

1. Lee Van Cleef.

[flvegan]

2. I have to go with Arnold.

He's ex Austrian military in addition to being quite obviously the biggest and strongest. He really only needs to hit you once.

Now had you put Bruce Lee in there...

[TheMightyFavog]

5. Dude. Lee Marvin.

US Marine Corps, fought in the Battle of Saipan.

Probably was taught about 15 ways to kill someone with his bare hands.

[martymar64]

8. Although he doesn't look it, Charles Durning

Durning survived the infamous Malmedy Massacre during the Battle of the Bulge.
He's a man who took on REAL Nazis!

[yellowdogintexas]

20. I so love that man. He wrote an article about that experience for

Parade Magazine and it made me cry.
My dad was in the Battle of the Bulge, freezing, stringing communications lines along. As a corporal he was the highest ranking member of his team to survive so he took command and they mushed their way across the snows. My dad was from Kentucky, and he hates snow,

of course I now know WHY he hated snow.

anyway Durning's article really expressed the depression these WWII vets endured after the Bulge and after the war. I obtained a lot of insight into what made my father tick and why he succumbed to severe depression @ age 57 and took his own life. It was one of those really long (for Kentucky anyway)winters, with lots of cold and snow and it just got him. His father had just died and his job had sort of flipped out from under him ..temporarily..he was lifer with USPS so they were going to find him SOMETHING to do until he was 65

but I digress..Durning's writing was spot on for my Dad
Tony Bennett also wrote of his experiences during that dreadful time and how it impacted his life choices later on.

24. Others who didn't look it...

...but served in the military in the First World War: Ronald Colman, Herbert Marshall, Claude Rains, and Basil Rathbone. Rathbone was decorated for bravery. Marshall lost a leg, Rains was nearly blinded in one eye due to a poison gas attack, and Colman was left with a limp due to his injuries. Not a one of them looks like today's tough guy types, but they were all there when one of the bloodiest conflicts of human history took place.

[flvegan]

16. Still my second choice.

[Bake]

31. Total badass. And meaner than a snake (at least on film).

My money's on Marvin. Excuse me, MISTER Marvin.

Bake

[Chan790]

3. "Whalers in bad uniforms"

This Hartford native could not agree more. Someday hockey will return to Hartford and I will have Gary Bettman's liver with a nice chianti. Yes, it's not vegetarian, but for that smarmy self-assured asshat I'll make an exception.

[dubeskin]

4. Chuck Norris

Then it's all over.

[PeaceNikki]

6. Where the fuck is Chuck?

Scientists have estimated that the energy given off during the Big Bang is roughly equal to 1CNRhK (Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick)

[NewJeffCT]

7. Bruce Lee

Chuck Norris wishes he were Bruce Lee.

[AlCzervik]

9. Huzzah!

:thumbsup:

[flvegan]

17. See post #2.

Very much agreed.

[bigwillq]

10. SLJ

He's badass! :bounce:

[JTG of the PRB]

11. I'll go with Clint Eastwood to barely edge Samuel L. Jackson...

...but it'd be one HELL of a fight!

[DarkTirade]

12. Bruce Campbell.

You know why they gave his character a chainsaw arm in the Evil Dead series?

Because the prosthetics guys got tired of having to make a fake human hand to cover up his real chainsaw one.

[unpossibles]

13. Bruce Lee if they were actually fighting nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Nathan Lane. Totally.

[Dr. Strange]

25. Only one thing to do, now...

[Wetzelbill]

15. Bolo Yeung

[mitchum]

18. Lawrence Tierney could have taken them all

[yellowdogintexas]

19. went with Lee Marvin out of this list

a Marine, yep

[KatyMan]

21. Easy peasy

William Shatner. The greatest actor of our times, Mr James Tiberius Kirk would kick anyone's ass. No contest.

[Dogtown]

28. He *did* beat

the Gorn:

[SacredCow]

22. K. Hep....

and would win without throwing a punch. She'd size them up, figure out their insecurities and weaknesses, and give them such a verbal assault, they'd all be wishing their parents had never met!

Love ya, Katherine!

[ohiosmith]

23. None of the above.

[Zavulon]

26. Brian Dennehy

http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001133/

About to turn 70 and capable of tearing down buildings all by himself.

[Broken_Hero]

32. ditto! Fear the Dennehy!

[SoxFan]

27. Carrot Top

[Tikki]

30. Henry Rollins...not that he would...he just

could.


Tikki

[Arugula Latte]

29. John "Leslie" Wayne would get his sorry ass kicked six ways to Sunday.

I never could stand that creep.

[Initech]

33. Where is Rambo on that list?
