The Top 15 Action Heroes

I tried my hardest to come up with some sappy sentimental top ten list in honour of Valentines Day. Then I realized I'm about as romantic as a first date fart. I was going to try listing the best cinematic kisses, but couldn't recall any that didn't involve lesbians. I hate myself. To make up for my lack of a heart I decided to dish out 15 of the greatest ass kickers of all time. You can have your candle light dinners and snuggle sessions all you want this week, just remember there's a time in life when everyone just wants to blow shit up and shoot bad people in the face repeatedly. I love you all.

Click here for 15-11

Click here for 10-6

5. John McClane - DIE HARD (1988)

This guy was Jack Bauer before it was cool to be Jack Bauer. Whether it was playing hide and seek in a skyscraper, blowing up planes, or a friendly game of Simon Says on the streets of New York, McClane always seems to emerge from disgruntled cop to terrorist ass kicker in the blink of an eye. Somebody get this guys resume to CTU.

4. Lee - ENTER THE DRAGON (1973)

One of the most influential action movies ever made and the main guy never even picks up a gun. He does, however, pick up some Nunchaku and whoop some major ass. It's mind boggling to think of how popular Bruce Lee would have been had he not died before it was released. Put every one of these characters in a giant royal rumble of hand to hand combat (watch out for Robocop's secret gun) and this is my pick to walk away. This next guy might be a little tough though.

3. T-800 - TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY

He was great as a villain but even better as the hero. There's few better choices for a bodyguard when you're the key human representative after the world destroys itself. Invincibility is always a good attribute to have in your pet action hero. I wish Marty and Doc would have warned us about this shit.

2. James Bond - Dr. NO (1962)

The only character that does so much shit he's worn out five actors with a sixth on the way. He gets all the toys, all the women, and rarely loses his cool. Will we ever see an end to this franchise? With a fan base that expects to see new actors play the lead every few movies and an endless amount of stories to tell, Bond movies could be around until the end of time. A prediction - 25 years from now there will be a James Bond channel right down the dial from the Godzilla channel.

1. Indiana Jones - RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981)

Take your everyday fedora-wearing archaeologist with a pissy attitude towards snakes and throw him into the world's greatest adventures and sure enough, you'll get the world's greatest action hero. While the stories might be a little far fetched, Indy has always seemed real. He looks tired. He gets pissed off. He's always screwing things up. Things like his make him easy to relate to, even though he's doing it while fighting Nazis and I do it while trying to buckle my seatbelt. In case you're keeping track of the actor math at home - James Bond is the father of Indiana Jones who once had a relationship with Ellen Ripley and is best friends with Luke Skywalker. Peace.

Good list, but it was the T-101 that saved Eddie Furlong's ass in Judgement Day, not the T-800.

I like the list but I'm a little disappointed John Matrix didn't make it. He killed almost 100 people in 1 damn movie for cryin out loud! Good list though.
