No Dirty Harry ? No McClane ? No Rambo ? No Snake Plissken ? Not even Cameron Poe ?

haha! there i was getting ready to deride this list for its conspicuos lack of Roddy Piper's Nada when BOOM! he appears on it!
This list is a very fine list. A very fine list indeed.

 

[Spider-Vader]

That...list...sucked.

Really? WTF! I havent even read it yet and this list seems dumb.


Loses points for Kenneth from Dawn of the Dead, makes up for it and more with Nada from They Live, but then loses more points for Swayze from Roadhouse.

Frankly, the list isnt horrible but could be way better. Seems like it was written by a 15 year old who took a film history class so caught the 3 oldies on the list.

Yeah, this is a big wtf. That's fine if you're omitting "cheesy" badasses, like Plissken for example...but Kenneth? Wtf...

 

[Octoberist]

I disagree about Plissken because he's such a pop culture figure now these days.

 

[Sawyer]

Empire really needs to just stop making lists since they tend to just piss people off.

Plus, Swayze in Road House?! For reals?

Think he got the cancer pity vote?

Ving Rhames from Dawn of the Dead...Vin Diesel...and Roddy Piper...****ING RODDY PIPER...but no John McClane, Ellen Ripley, or perhaps the greatest exclusion of all...ASH FROM ARMY OF DARKNESS!?!

"Pity" and "badass" dont tend to tie in to eachother very often...

 

[cerealkiller182]

Matt:

You must not have seen They Live because Nada was actually REALLY badass. Doesnt exclude the lack of McLane, Dirty Harry, or Ash

 

[CELTICPRED]

Ving Rhames.....Riddick.......Swayze?

LENOIDIS?

They can't even spell Leonidas right.

Roddy Piper is classic in They Live, no doubt.

 

[bunk]

Oh ****, I forgot about Ripley and Ash. Yeah, to hell with that list.

 

[Sawyer]

Well, the thing is, they kind of screwed themselves by making it such a small number. If it had been 20 or 25, then it would be acceptable for them to put some of those choices. But at 10, it just looks pretty s***ty.

And also... Racer X.

That is all.

Pretty Sure Comedian will put them all to Shame come March LOL

 

[Franklin Richards]

No Billy Jack???

WOW.

So, let me get this straight:

The old WWF wrestler who wears a skirt is #3.

Vin "I play the same character in every movie" Diesel is #2.

And Patrick Swayze is #1?

Patrick Swayze, who was a ghost and got all lovey with Demi Moore through Hoopi Goldburger, is #1 for Movie Badasses?

Not only that but John Mclane, Rambo, Scahwarzneggar, Ash(he has a ****in' chainsaw for a hand), and CLINT EASTWOOD are nowhere on that list.

Epic Fail.

 

[Superark]

That was a pretty crappy list if you ask me! I mean c'mon, Ving Rhames, seriously?

Where was Plisken, Dirty Harry, John Matrix, Maximus Decimus Meridius?

And there ABSOLUTELY should have been at least one of Mel Gibson's roles in there!!

Mad Max, Martin Riggs, William freakin Wallace!
