Harrison Ford?
Jason Statham?

Cynthia Rothrock?
Clive Owen?

I chose Bruce Willis, but yeah Jason Statham is pretty action junkie at the moment.

I think Arnie just about pips it for me too. He has made the most iconic action films of the past thirty years, and all of them with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

The Stat is getting there rapidly though.

* I asumed this was a non-Asian question? Otherwise I'd have to go with Jackie Chan. Smile

Oh, Silly Me! I just realized this poll was looking for a favorite! Embarassed

Sorry my previous answers didn't quite match up...

I have to go with Clint Eastwood, personally. Between the westerns and the Harry Callahan films, Clint always delivered. cheers

I'm in the 'choose your own...' basket probably leaning more towards Sean Connery or even the Jack-man, Hughie.

That is the wonderful thing about threads like this. We can all like who we want. Sean Connery was a great Bond and has made some other classic actioners in his time, but for me no one can beat Arnie's body of bonafide action classics. "Predator", "Terminator", "T2", "Commando", "True Lies" and even the much ridiculed "Last Action Hero" are all fantastic. Even some of his lesser films have a great entertainment value for me. Plus he never took any of it too seriously. I could list great films by any of the other actors named here too. I just love action films. Very Happy

Jason Statham. Wesley Snipes a long time ago.

LoL. How long ago are we talking Achillesgirl?

Have you seen the new Snipes movie, can't remember the name, but he's like Zombie bounty hunter.

After writing that, I've almost convinced myself to try and get hold of it despite seeing an awful trailer and going 'No'.

Wesley Snipes' new movie should be called "Vampire Tax Evader!" lol!

Subject: Re: Best Action Star Sun Apr 19, 2009 1:38 am

Yeah, I think he had to pay something like $6 mil in back-taxes, though that could be wrong.

I'm surprised that a Family Guy episode hasn't come out about Wesley's unfortunate tax evasion.

That aside, The Art of War was great!

Oh yes, you are right! Also, let us not forget the film with his best performance, "The Art of Deafening A Woman" starring Halle Berry. aggressive

I liked the first two "Blade" films, but after that I can't really say I'm a fan of Wesley Snipes in action mode. I prefer his comedy/drama efforts, like "White Men Can't Jump", "New Jack City", "The King of New York", "Jungle Fever" and "To Wong Foo,Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar". He is a vry good actor when he lets himself be.
