Title: Who was the toughest movie or tv character (with a gun) of all time.
Post by: Kingkeoni on May 23, 2011, 08:54:45 PM: Who do you think was the baddest or toughest person to ever tote a gun in a movie or on tv?

My vote goes to John Rambo.
I remember when I first watched those movies, I thought... Damn, that's a badass.

Post by: Dregs on May 23, 2011, 09:49:00 PM: Definitely Terminator. Reasons - the spinning shotgun, the portable minigun, and casually walking around shooting people with the gas-launcher while getting shot up.

As an added bonus, the Terminator Opera:

Post by: Ichigeki Hissatsu on May 25, 2011, 11:16:41 AM: hmmm. The terminator is cheating. He's a machine from the future!

When talking HUMANS, i'd have to give it to Detective John McClane. That guy goes through hell and back and he still ends up getting the bad guy lol.

Post by: bigjay on May 25, 2011, 09:56:44 PM: How has no one brought up Jason Bourne? "Yippie Kay yay! " was my first instinct, but felt it was too easy. After thinking about it, Bourne would have made Die Hard a quick 30 minute tv episode.

I gotta agree with Ichigeki Hissatsu, the Terminator is a little to easy of a cop out since he's a machine.
Splitting the difference, Robocop takes the robot/man cyborg category.

Post by: Antithesis on May 26, 2011, 04:24:22 PM: Burt, from the first Tremors movie. The graboid comes busrting through his basement armory and he and his wife (Reeba Mcentire) use virtually every single gun to kill it. I remember watching that movie as a kid and thinking to myself, someday I'm gonna have a basement just like that.

Post by: Colt808 on May 28, 2011, 03:54:35 AM: Harry Callahan & John McClane...both great regular guy heroes but not exactly bad or tough. Who among us wouldn't do what they did if it was their job/family?

How about Vincent and Jules (Pulp Fiction)? Ice cold killers. Crazy hair. Royale with cheese.

Al Pacino: As Michael Corelone...had a bunch of people "sleeping with the fish", including his brother.
Or Tony Montana, a pile of yayo and a "little friend" goes a long way.

If choosing actors, I'd have to pick Pacino all the way. Godfather Trilogy, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Heat, Carlito's Way, Scarface, etc. Not exactly Arnold or Stallone, but at least its believable and 'roid free :thumbsup:.

Post by: BananaClip on May 28, 2011, 10:41:16 AM: "Steroids make Sick people well and well people Super".. A lot of misconceptions about "Steroids". Almost like a gun vs a knife.. Pride and money play a big part on why certain things aren't and are a "used" in certain situations. As cool as the knife is, it wont take anything down 500 yards or even 300 yards away..
I think Sports vs War are 2 different things.... Why lose to an opposing country or force all because we decided not to use a weapon because of pride...Just saying that the media has REALLY twisted the whole steroid thing while people still get sick and a lot of times die because of peanut butter...
They will never ban peanut butter because it will support the medical world when you get sick, while at the same time not make you super human.... "Corruptions" sorry about the whole off topic thing.. ;D :stopjack:
