Hey Willy I thought about Burt, but being from Kentucky I didnt want to be the first to throw that one out there, Burt is very popular here in the South….didnt want to get stereotyped, but man I love White Lightning, one of my favorite Burt films….also I forgot all about Caan, what the hell is wrong with me? Some of this Caan’s work is very tough guy.

Revolver is a mess, it wasnt a confusing film, I was just confused by approach. I think it could have been more subtle, Ritchie definitely has a style and I also liked Lock Stock and Snatch, those films were a lot of fun. I don’t know, its just been a long time since I saw a film I didnt like but I cant stop thinking about the damn thing…..its weird.

shame on us all for forgetting Robert Mitchum…

Yeah I dont know how we forgot him honestly, you must have been listening to the Mondo Movie guys as I have because they covered that one film Mitchum’s son was in Ricco The Mean Machine or something to that effect….I thought about putting him on here right after I listened but ya beat me to the punch….

Yeah sorry kids, Leon from the Professional. Side note though, Jean Reno was also pretty bad ass as Hubert Fiorentini in Wasabi.

I have to give props to dear Harrison Ford!

“The Hitcher”, Nighthawks, etc, gives the guy “who’s-name-I-could-never-spell-to-save-my-own-life” a top spot on my list.

Most recently: I have to say Nathan Fillion. For a soap opera star, the guy is intense and kicks some serious ass, while taking one hell of a beating! Honestly, the guy makes me swoon…..

Ok back on track!

For actor “ultimate tough guy”? Easily Charles Bronson

But overall, in retro spec…. If I HAD to pick someone to watch my back? John McClain!
(NOT “Bruce Willis”  John McClain!) 

John will get you through any shit and keep you laughing the whole way! Yippie-kay-yay, motherfucker!

Rambo gets a

Yeah these selections are for movie characters not actors.
My list?

5.)John McLain
4.)Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson in Deathwish)
3.)Man with no name
2.)Dirty Harry
1.)Jack Burton
