Nominate your favorite action movie hero for the Herolympics
Rain Man's Smellympics were a smashing success, with bacon being crowned the winner.
Now we're going to turn it on it's head and find the ultimate movie badass. Use this thread to nominate ONE action hero from any decade. The only stipulation is that the character be an ACTION hero. We don't want something reeruned like Matthew Broderick's character from Godzilla ending up squaring off against Rambo. Women (Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley) are OK. Please nominate CHARACTERS and not ACTORS. Multiple characters played by the same actor will be permitted. No cartoons. ONE nomination per person. We'll do 32 or 64, depending on how the entries shape up. My nomination: JOHN ****ING RAMBO. ROUND ONE Heat 1: Rambo (79.59), V (39.8) def. Kiddo, Liu Heat 2: Conan The Barbarian (77.36), Blade (69.81), def. Deckard, Billy Heat 3: Jason Bourne (82.93), John Matrix (68.29), def.
