Empire Magazine here in Australia just published it's top twenty-five toughest characters in films. The list had all-sorts, some which I felt didn't deserve the honor [Sarah Connor;
The Terminator -- pshaw!] and some that I didn't feel were high enough on the list ['Popeye' Doyle; The French Connection -- #12].
Here however, is the top ten.
How would you go about rearranging them, adding some more. In other words, who are your top tough guys? I've only got a top three, and I'll get to them soon enough. But first, let's open the floodgates.
