Who is Your Favourite Action Hero?

[Stavros]

As Iron Man 3 debuts I wonder if members consider Robert Downey Jr to be an 'action her' so I have not included him in the poll (and it is his alter-ego who is the action hero anyway).

Also, there are actors from the past who did more than action films like John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood -no nonsense tough guys etc- but not on the list, their films were more diverse as were their skills.

Anyway, Jason Statham gets my vote because the films are watchable, he has a sense of humour, is not overbearing and arrogant like Stallone, or a figure worthy only of ridicule, like Seagal.

Your choice.

i always considered statham to be exactly the type of guy you meet @ a pub in london being loud with a bunch of rugby players.

as far as superheros: maybe the toxic avenger. but for this poll: lundgren (for the punisher + master's of the universe)

I don't think Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin, etc. were "action heroes" - they were tough guys but often didn't take much action.

Bruce Willis is the only action hero from the time of the classic 80's/90's action movies who has stood the test of time and can still pull it off. Why? Because he's the only one we can identify with more than the mumbling, or mono-syllable, steroid machines.

Chuck Norris. He doesn't sweat, he just leaks awesomeness.

Bruce Willis is the only one on that list who doesen't get on my nerves, so he got my vote.

Oops! See what I mean about apologies for omissions? Particularly as I have heard of Lundgren but never seen his films...
