    Of those on the list....it would have to be Clint followed by Arnold.

    However....My favorite is Harrison Ford. Han Solo, Indiana Jones,
    Rick Deckard, Jack Ryan, Dr. Richard Kimble, etc....Definitely not a "Tough Guy"...but more of an "everyman" type of action hero.

    I like Harrison's roles as well. I also had a hard time not putting Charles Bronson in there. He looked like he ate nails for breakfast. :mad: (Growl)

    Robert Mitchum is my favorite Hollywood action hero.

    Superboy's dog Krypto is my favorite non-Hollywood.

    For old timers nobody tops the Duke! Current would be Arnold.
    As far as Dogs go the top honors has to go to Jamie Summers Bionic dog Maximilian!
    Top car would be KITT from Knight Rider!

    Clint Eastwood gets my vote. In the movie, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" he's got just about everybody trying to kill him and still comes out on top. Even riding off at the end when he could have had a nice woman and place to live. That's tough!

    One of my favorite scenes was when spits his chewing tobacco juice on that scorpion presumedly killing it. Only Clint could pull that one off.

    Ya feeling lucky today punk!?! Well do ya!?! :D

    Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry) for sure because a great superhero has not only got to be a badass but a smartass as well.
    For example,
    "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk??"

    Other memorable quotes,
    "Go ahead, make my day!"

    And,
    Mayor: Alright, let's have it.
    Harry: Have what?
    Mayor: Your report, what have you been doing?
    Harry: Oh, well, for the past three-quarters of an hour I've been sitting on my **** in your outer office, waiting on you.

    Another,
    Mayor: I don't want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore district. Understand? That's my policy.
    Harry: Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the ****. That's my policy.
    Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
    Harry: Well a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!

    I knew what he meant, just didn't want to front the new guy out. His forum name was my CB handle back in the 70s and 80s, so I was cutting him some slack. ;)
