Name your top 5 favorite "action" movie heroes of all times....
The topic is simple, choose your favorite "action" movie hero. As you can probably already tell, I am a huge fan of the action movie genre. If you take a look at my collection, you would see that my dvd collection holds mostly "action" films.
Here are my top 5 favorite action heroes in no order:
Sylvester Stallone
(I can go on and on of why I like Sly so much but I'm too lazy to now, maybe later)
Arnold Schwarzeneger
(Another one of my favorites, now that you think about it, Arnold's career started going downhill since "End of Days", now let's hope T-3 will do well)
Jean Claudde Van Damme
(I don't see why everyone hates him so much either, he isn't that bad, he had made many cool action flicks like "Bloodsport", "Time Cop", "Replicant", "Universal Soldier", "The Quest", "Nowhere To Run", etc. Oh, by the way, Jean Claude is now working on a new movie called "Hell" which is currently in production)
Bruce Lee
(This man was amazing and an "action" movie legend, I love Bruce Lee movies)
Bo Svenson
(In the "Walking Tall" trilogy I consider this man an action movie hero, other than this trilogy, he's made some cool action flicks in the old days too, I like him much more than Joe Don Baker from the first "Walking Tall" movie)
I do like a lot of other action movie heros but those 5 I listed above is who I like the most.
Name yours.

Im totally biased here but...
1. Arnold- No one delievers neck snappings a plenty with classic one-liners like em!
"Don't bug my friend, he's dead tired" - Commando
"Stick Around!" - Predator
"See you at the Pahty Richter!" - The Running Man
"Crom, if you do not help me, then to HELL with you!" - Conan
King Conan will ride again 2004! Thaw Mako out! The chronicler of Conan's adventures is needed!
CROM!
oh yeah moving on .....
2. The Master Bruce Lee - my god imagine the movies he would have made.
3. Harrison Ford - Han Solo, Deckard, and Indiana Jones - nuff said
4. Bruce Willis - John Mclane, and one of my favourite roles Corben Dallas!
5. Sven Ole Thorsen - the king of evil thug roles, enemy of Conan, the nemesis of Maximus, Jack Ryan's most recent bain, and countless other Mafia, Columbian Cartel, Street Thug, Barbarian roles.
Even in COKE commercials he plays a thug!

Jackie Chan - his stunts make him #1 (action-wise)
Arnold Schwarzenegger - too many great action films to ignore (Predator, Terminator, Running Man, Total Recall, True Lies, Conan)
Harrison Ford - for Indiana and Star Wars alone (The Fugitive was pretty darn good too)
Sean Connery - by far the best 007 in my eyes
Bruce Willis - for Die Hard mostly

Bruce Willis
Arnold
Chow Yun Fat
Jackie Chan

Also Keanu isnt exactly what I'd call an action star since Speed is more of a thriller than an action flick and Matrix was not really what Id call an action movie either.
