Reviewing pop culture so you don't have to
The Friday Question last week, which was about TV shows on DVD, ended up in a comments battle between Jack Bauer, Chuck Norris and other tough guys on television/movies.
Who would win in a fight? Jack or Chuck? John McClane or T.J. Hooker?

I see someone mentioned Conan, but that can't be the only Schwarzenegger role!
Oh, and John Rambo is pretty good too.

Quint from Jaws
Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop (have to have at least one funny bad ass, right?)
Unless I've missed it, I haven't seen a single nomination for Samuel L. Jackson. So, Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction.
And another lady . . . The Bride from Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2.

Chuck Norris should be on the character list due to the "Chuck Norris Facts" transcending reality. In the same vein, Jackie Chan (The One True Action Hero) has played himself several times so it still works for him as a "character" also.
TJ Hooker should be removed from the list, but Capt Kirk can stay out of respect. His trademark clasped hammerfists was so prominent we refer to it as Jim Kirking someone. :)
*OK, Jackie's getting assists now too...but he's old. Jet Li ain't.

Jules is a good choice, you gotta love him.
What about Mad Max?
1 year ago
Mad Max definitely deserves consideration, as do the Hanson Brothers from Slap Shot. They appeared to share a brain, so I think they could be combined into one entry :-)

The Trousered Ape's last blog post..Tell all the Truth but tell it slant

My other (less jokey) nominees are
- Hawk from Spenser: for Hire
- Butch Cassidy (watch his big fight again)
- Charles Gunn from Angel
- I second Vic Mackey and Harry Callahan
- Jane from Firefly
- 'Mad' Max Rockatanksy
- Any Charles Bronson character ever, but I like Vince Majestyk since it's such an awesome name
Mike, my only other suggestion right now is to either seed 16 or 32 positions as it'll be easier to bracket. Unless you want to seed 24, and just give four fighters a bye in the first round. I could see giving obvious byes to Norris and Bauer, but I don't know if you could get everyone to agree on the other two.

16 seems too little, 32 seems like A LOT and could take awhile to get th rough all the voting, so we may just stick to 16.
If I see that we have too many good people for 16, maybe we'll just have the bye weeks for some.
Jane from Firefly rocks!

- Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo (The Bride) KILL BILL
- Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY
- Carrie Fischer as Princess Leia (come on she could kick some storm trooper butt, and shes a Jedi at heart!!)
For dudes, I thought of these extra ones as well..(though I still like the Jason Bourne and John Matrix nominations)
- Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) from Escape from New York
- Mad Max (Mel Gibson, though would he have to fight himself as Martin Riggs?)
- Aragorn, (Viggo Mortensen) LoTR Trilogy, the dood rawked!!
What do you think of these additions?
1 year ago
And thinking of Sarah Connor reminds me that I'm a doofus. I nominated Jane earlier, but forgot River Tam. Considering she can take out a room full of Reavers...

Neo from the Matrix. Do you consider him having powers and thus not qualified?
The other two:
Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible
Maximus from Gladiator

I don't think Neo should qualify, but he would be a good addition.

I don't think we've mentioned it, but do you think movie characters and TV characters should be separate? TV characters have tons of episodes to impress us...but then movie characters have bigger budgets and usually better weapons...

Christ: didn't kick much ass
Chuck: did, and still does
I'm not sure about the cult part, but your other assertion seems spot on to me. However, in His defense, Chuck would only kick ass when old ladies were being beat up, good people intimidated with violence, or you shot his dog or spilled his drink, so he does have some Christ-like qualities as well.

There is one story in particular that I’d like to leave you with today � a story I told when I had the great honor of speaking on Martin Brody’s birthday at his home church on Amity Island.
There is a young woman named Ashley who worked on a television action series. Midway through her first season the network cut the show's budget. That's when Ashley decided that she had to so something to help her show.
Ashley convinced craft services that what she really liked and really wanted to eat more than anything else was mustard and relish sandwiches. Because that was the cheapest way to eat.
She did this for a year until her show's ratings got better.
Anyway, Ashley finishes her story and then goes around the room and asks everyone else why they’re supporting the combined Ultimate Bad Ass bracket. They all have different stories and reasons. Many bring up a specific hero. And finally they come to this elderly action movie star who’s been sitting there quietly the entire time. And Ashley asks him why he’s there. And he does not bring up a specific hero. He does not say Die Hard or Shaft. He does not say explosions or war movies. He does not say that he was there because of Mike and Jason. He simply says to everyone in the room, "I am here because of Ashley."
