Most Badass movie character?

[Sgt. Pepper]

A thread where we just post who we think are the most badass characters of all time. I'll start with the king of all badasses. John McClane - Die Hard series

[derlich]

Snake Plissken - John Carpenter's Escape from New York / L.A. - The man just won't die, plus he destoryed every electronic device on the planet.

Got to be Anton Chigurh from "No Country For Old Men"

[Ghost Rider]

There are many that come to mind, and those previously mentioned are certainly among my favorites, but two of my all time favorites would have to be...

1. 1. Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 from "The Terminator"
   
   2. River Tam from "Serenity"

Neither of which may be considered the most badass movie character by many, but I'd sure hate to piss them off!

Bruce Willis's character in Last Man Standing. I think the film was nearly a remake of Fistful of Dollars

[Gazo]

Bruce willis..? Mel Gibson..?Kurt Russell..?

Have to include Tom Selleck in "Quigley Down Under". His ability to shoot his Sharps .45-110 at ranges of over a thousand yards is true to history. A truly badass rifle capable of great accuracy at very long ranges. One of my favorite non-John Wayne westerns.

Steven Seagal in the two "Under Siege" movies. I know they are movies but he has the fastest hands of any recent action movie star. Great fun to watch!

Just watched "Double Impact" with VanDamme in Spanish last night and forgot how lame it was. My other worst movie for him was John Woo's "Hard Target". How they get from an old sugar cane mill that looks to be in Breux Bridge or New Iberia, Louisiana to a Mardi Gras warehouse in two minutes is beyond me.

The shots in the warehouse district of New Orleans were correct as was the fight on the St. Charles streetcar. Wilford Brimley as the old coonass patriarch somewhere along the River Road area I'm guessing, was great. It's a fun movie to watch, just geographically out of sync.

And by the way, I own a Thompson Center Contender like Lance Henrikson's character. I have barrels in several calibers but the most badass is .357 Herrett. It is a wildcat cartridge that requires taking a .30-30 rifle case and loading a mild load in the gun to push the shoulder forward (known as "fire-forming") and then putting the case in the loading die and then opening up the neck to take a .357 bullet.

The result is a gun that sends a 140-grain bullet out of a 10" barrel at 2560 feet per minute. My gun with a 2X Leupold scope could consistently achieve 1 1/2"groups at 100 yards. Very badass hunting pistol well capable of taking deer-sized animals at 100 yards plus.

The recoil is not harsh like the killer recoil from my .44 Magnum barrel due to using medium-burning rifle powders but the gun will come to 90 degrees above your head. Amazing weapon!

all the above are good choices. a good movie can make anybody look good. I still think the best one-liner ever was Clint's
"Go ahead,Make my day."
