Favorite action heros & action movies?

I was just wondering who your favorite action heros & movies?

I guess in this order the 1st is probably obvious, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Harrisson Ford, Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Dolph Lundgren (old school), Will Smith, MR T, Michael J. FoX, Hugh Jackman, Vin Diesel, Barry Pepper, Matt Damon, Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Donald Sutherland.

Favorite action movies, All of the Schwarzenegger movies, Rambo Trilogy, Get Carter, Tombstone, The Lethal Weapon 4 pack,
Tequila Sun, Demolition Man, He-Man, Any Given Sunday, The Program, Spider-Man, Ghost Buster 1 & 2, Saving Privat Ryan,
The Bourne Identity, Beverly Hills Cop Trilogy, Top Gun,
Navy Seals, The Score, Back To The Future Trilogy, Van Helsing, Indianna Jones Trilogy, all the Star Wars films, We Were Soldiers, Out of Time. These are just a few of the many movies that I love.
Most of the Robert de Niro & Al Pacino films.


I know there's a bunch I'm forgetting so let's here your opinions.

I like most of the actors listed above, I would like to add John Travolta to the list though. Hes had 1 hell of a career and is cooler than any of em ... imo.

Natashs Henstridge, Brigette Nielson are a couple more. Then there's the woman who played in Red Sonja with Arnold.

bulletproof1 how the hell could I have forgotton John Travolta? He's one of my favorites. Don't forget Nicholas Cage. Tom Cruise is okay, but not one of my favorites.

I'm a comic fan. Wolverine has always been a favorite of mine (from the books, not the movies).

Big Arnold fan of course...who isnt?

My favorite marvel character is Collassus. I was glad to see they put him in the movies.

I thought the movies were really good. I was just dissapointed in the choice for Wolverine. He's supposed to be 5'3, 195lbs, and built like a bodybuilder. Jackman is a good actor, but doesnt look the part enough IMO.

Have u read Wolverine or Xmen before? You're the first person I've met who's ever said he "fit" the part. I thought he did a good job as far as acting goes, but I expected someone who looked the part more.

Spiderman
The Punisher

"The Duke" was the Man! (good call PreMier) Arnold (of course), Sly is up there. Nick Cage has certainly earned a spot. Travolta has matured so well over the years (I actually met him on Wakiki beach) I suppose the list could go on and on.

Here's one for you... What about WILLIAM KATT!!

Yes I've read X-Men before. They didn't use the yellow uniform in the movie but I still say he fit the part. The guy who played punisher was good, but Dolph Lundgren was better.

Yeah Michael J. Fox to, I mentioned the Back to The Future Trilogy.

I was actually glad they didnt use the yellow tights. I dont think that would have looked good on film.

The Dolph Lundren Punisher was GREAT!

Nice to see him making appearances in Smallville. Definitely a sad situation.

One Superman shot himself and the other became paralyzed is there a curse on those who portray him?

I hope not. I have high hopes for a Smallville movie someday. I love that show!
