Although they're all great, and Travolta's comeback had the most impact on his career thereafter, I'm going with Forster.

David Carradine as The Man, The Snake Charmer, The Quintessential Badass BILL.

David Carradine was able to effectively make Bill into a believably ruthless yet enigmatic villian and managed to steal the screen from Uma every time they were together.

I went with Travolta, with PF bein the movie that righted him back on track and made people want to pay and see his movies again.. :p

But Carradine's a good pick as well! :)

I had a tough time between Carradine and Travolta. But overall I chose Travolta.

Robert Forster.

Travolta and Carradine both delivered the goods in their respective performances, but Forster's was the most heartwarming for me, seeing a prolific actor from the 60s fall from grace only to be given a plum role, and knock it out of the ballpark.

How could you leave off Buscemi from RD? That's by far the coolest perfrmance. The only true pro in the movie.

DAVID CARRADINE for me. Completely bad-ass villian.


...that being said, seeing Pam Grier on the big screen again brought a GIANT smile to my face.

Robert Forster, though Daryl Hannah is pretty close behind.

Actually, they're all great. I'm sure that is a testamount to both their talents as actors and also a testamount to Tarantino's ability to give the right role to the right person.

Good topic! I went with Travolta just going by what impact it had for his carrer, but I think Forster,Grier, and Carradine gave better performances. All great though.

Travolta, Carridine and Grier were all amazing, but I gotta go with Robert Forster.

Travolta, he was going down the pan until Tarantino resurrected him.

Buscemi's role in DOGS was not a comeback role, since he was relatively new to the scene at the time. His most recent comeback was in The Sopranos.

Tough choice, I'll go with Lawrence Tierney.

I'd probably go with Forster, although Carradine is a close second.

Whoops, didn't notice it was "favorite comeback", I thought it was just favorite performance. I'll change me vote to Carradine.

Forster and Carradine! The Rest are Great. Tarantino should work with Pacino. That would be the ultimate comeback. Even better than Travolta's comeback.

Even if it's not your favorite comeback, you have to admit that John Travolta made the most surprising comeback by far.

I'm gonna have to go with the only one who truly cameback.... Travolta... None of these other guys(and gal) have really done shit else, but their Tarrentino movie. I wouldn't say any of them reached they're peak of fame again, and Big John exceeded his original stardom, and is still huge.... Dude made one of the few true comebacks, and made one of the greatest movies of all time (PF).
