Who's your #1 movie hero?
Of course Im older now, and age affects your choice greatly. My pick is Liam Neesons character Bryan Mills from Taken.

But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." Sold! Taken is the best action movie Ive seen in the past 15-20 years before it, and I havent seen one better since. It hit you on a basic level of protecting your child from the darkest of fates, a hopeless terrifying situation, and showed a dangerous yet simple mans relentless search. He was not going to come back alive unless he had her. |
Re: Who's your #1 movie hero?
actually taken is in my top 100 best movie very great action movie and Neeson is amazing but my favorite hero of all time is definitely Roy Scheider in Jaws . He is completely awesome

Alex Murphy http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...x_j_murphy.jpg Yep, going with Alex Murphy instead of his more famous second-life RoboCop. Model Cop, had an easy time in Metro South Precinct according to Sgt Reed... was kinda cocky to start with, especially with Lewis when he first met her, but their first day on the job together Murphy got his ass handed to him by the main criminal group in Old Detroit. http://underscoopfire.com/wp-content...Murphy_opt.jpg Saved by Bob Morton and his team, albeit immorally, RoboCop was born from Murphy's unbending loyalty to his job and the law and from being the model Cop he was... but not all of Alex Murphy had been erased. http://projectedrealities.files.word...2/robocop.jpeg Murphy began to show through the programming and RoboCop began feeling again... confused by his random thoughts and uncontrollable memories, Murphy pieced who he was and went all out to bring justice to the men who took his life away, by using the powers given to him by those who saved him and also those who were inadvertently also responsible for his death. But not without difficulty as he was still faced by enemies within the Company that built him, which also ruled the law... but also an enemy from within, sheer programming, that was able to disable him from doing what he set out to do. http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...rectives_2.jpg http://media.aintitcool.com/coolprod...jpg?1329272013 http://dejareviewer.files.wordpress....p-betrayed.jpg http://dejareviewer.files.wordpress....bocop-knee.jpg After near killing himself by bringing justice to those involved, Alex Murphy was back. Regaining his memories and his former glory backed up cutting edge technology and most importantly regaining his Humanity... and the Old Man saying he's a good shot. http://img2-1.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic.../robocop_l.jpg |

Re: Who's your #1 movie hero?
Trying to pick just one is a difficult task in itself.
Either: http://cdn.mos.totalfilm.com/images/...shaw-quint.jpg Or: http://nevalalee.files.wordpress.com...th-no-name.jpg Or: http://blogs.virginmedia.com/files/c...68411ffb01.jpg Or: http://www.etbscreenwriting.com/wp-c...noon_3_lg2.jpg Not all conventional choices, perhaps, but I couldn't narrow it down to just one. |
The one under Quint doesnt show up. I repped your Quint pick btw.

It was a tough choice but I picked Rambo for his sheer kill count and will to survive. No matter what they throw at him, be it helicopters, tanks, cops, or even entire armies, he always emerges victorious. In first blood Rambo was a burnout Vietnam vet and drifter. After he destroys a small town his commanding officer, Colonel Samuel Trautman, takes him under his wing and puts his skills to use. Together they go back to Vietman to rescue POW's and then to Afghanistan to help he afghans resist the Russians. What I admire the most is Rambo's guts, he has the nerve to take on a division of armor with a bow and arrow, wearing nothing more then a headband and combat pants. He even makes time for spray-on tan and ultraperm sessions inbetween - what a guy! http://content7.flixster.com/photo/1...910449_ori.jpg Colonal Samuel Trautman Colonal Trautman is a father-figure of sorts for Rambo - keeps him on the straight and narrow - and keeps him doing what he does best...blowing people up. Remember, whenever you're in a tough spot, never to give up, never surrender, and think to yourself...what would Rambo do..? |

Tommy Udo, Kiss of Death. When the movie was released his 'psycho' character was so popular that Tommy Udo fan clubs popped up all over the place.
