Pop Critics: Ultimate Bad Ass: Round 1 - John McClane bracket

  • Kory · 1 year ago
    Time for Mr. T. to take his gold chains and go home.

    Interesting 4/5 match-up.

    Yeah...and I voted for Ash because I just love Bruce Campbell and Army of Darkness.

    "Lady, I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store."

    "Baby....you got real ugly."

    All I can say is that if Mr T beats Bond, I'm calling this whole thing fixed. :-)

    The 4/5 is tough. MC is a def badass, but Indy is much tougher.

    John McClane, Die Hard..Maybe the first movie I ever walked out of going "Whoa...wtf just happened" and wlaked right back in and watched it again. I don't see Michael Westin having the kind of days Jon has, or surviving it...John wins here.

    Ash is cool, well maybe he's hot if he's Ash (right?), and he may be great agianst slow moving evil-undead types,but I doubt Mr. One-liner is going to take down arguably the greatest martial artist of all time. Go put in, Enter The Dragon, and watch Mr. Lee's first match against Tanaka. When they pair up and he WHAPS his opponent with lightening speed with no camera speed up, tell me he's losing... Bruce prevails here.

    Bond vs Mr. T.. really do I even need to explain this one? :)

    Indy vs Corleone, tough match, I see however Indy whipping the gangster right out of Mr. Order giver. Jones lives on to make a sequel...

    and thats how the Capn sees it.

    Wow. The vagaries of seeding rise up and take down one of my dark horses! I thought Michael Westen had a chance to go pretty deep. At least into the second round. But he had no hope against McClane.

    @ Porter - I'm surprised a bit about Westen...oh well, at least I got his back.

    Mr. T getting killed...

    Jules probably bet on Mr. T and then took a dive...he's a smart business man.

    @ Mike - thank goodness Mr. T is getting killed. That little girl did not deserve to be in the competition anyway. Nice to see him getting his comeuppance!

    Serving his purpose as a first round bye to the guy he's against...

    In all fairness dude, Mr. T is quite a big girl.
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    But a girl nonetheless...

    So where's Nicky to defend Mr. T??? I am assuming the lone vote so far for Mr. T came from her?
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Mr. T took a terrible tumble and got tangled in his tu-tu..
  • Rob O. · 1 year ago
    I hadn't really ever thought of Indiana Jones as an "action hero" since he's far more about smarts & luck than sheer kick-ass badness...
  • Robert · 1 year ago
    Indy is 100% Action Hero, however he's not really high up there on the Bad Ass scale. Bad ass is more an unstoppable force that kicks lots of ass. They are similar concepts, but not the same.
  • Jason · 1 year ago
    I have to agree with Robert. Indy is definitely 100% action hero - maybe not bad ass, but definitely an action hero. Still takes out Michael Corleone with brains and luck.
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Wow, maybe Nicky is right?! Perhaps if we knew Mr. T had thes epowers the voting would go differently for him...

    Mr. T a Hero... who knew?
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    Mr. T. - bringing poorly kids out of comas since 1980...
