I can't believe no one has mentioned "John McClane"...BRUCE WILLIS!! YIPPEE-KI-YAY! He's a creative badass. Remember in Die Hard 1 where he tied the explosives to the computer monitor? He's the innovative badass  ;D

When I hear or think "badass", I picture that scene in "Two mules for sister sara" where Clint Eastwood has the nun light up the arrow (to cauterize the wound) and pound it through his body. Come on. THAT TAKES A MAN!

Clint would   Segal up and then   the floor with him.  

Segal is a  

sleeper pick - Vinny Jones

parody of a badass - Will ferrell in blades of glory or talledega nights.

sometimes a badass - Brad Pitt as achilles or tyler durden

not human badass - the predator

badass chick - Linda Hamilton (sarah o'conner)

Who cleaned up an entire New York neighborhood by killing gangsters with a pistol shooting explosive bullets, a .30 caliber machine gun held in his hands, and kills the bad guy by blowing him and the wall of his apartment away with a mortar? Charles Bronson, Death Wish 3

Blaine AKA - Jesse Ventura from the first Predator movie.  "Want some"- holds up chewing tobacco.  "Get that stinking sh** outta my face" ........ "What!  This stuff will turn you into a god d*amn sexual TYRANOSAURUS!!  Just like me!"  LOL

Bronson is before my time, but I have seen Clint Eastwood in action - definitely badass.

Currently, I have to say Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Baur.  Love the torture scenes - he's ruthless.

I liked Kilmer in 'Toumbstone' also....."Why Johnny Ringoe, you look as though you've just seen a ghost".... hehehe

Another favorite line from 'Outlaw Josey Wales' was Eastwood talking to the bounty hunter in the bar when he returned to say he had to make a living........"Well, dying aint no way to make a living". I love that one. hehehe.

As far as a current character goes, JACK. BAUER. CANNOT. BE. KILLED.

As far as actors are concerned, how about Lee Marvin?

Jean Reno played a hitman in The Professional opposite Natalie Portman. I thought he played the smatest tough guy out there.

1.) Wesley Snipes

2.) Chuck Norris

3.) Arnold S.

4.) Clint Eastwood
