toughest actors- silver screen and dirtscreen.

[Tuck]

who do u think the toughest actors are from any film?
 i dont mean characters i mean actors. e.g. Russel Crowe (would you try and take a picture of him?)
 f**k dolph, jean claude (man that sounds gay without the van damme), and arnold.
Who would f**k some one up in the street in the real world?
 I'd say sean connery for a start.

[SkullNinja]

Cynthia Rothrock. I think she should start the ass kicking with me.

heh heh heh.

[tuck]

bruce willis

that woman out of primal species "she's strong, i mean f**kin strong!"

[Neville]

Vinnie Jones. And sorry to disappoint you, but JCVD doesn't seem to be that tough in real life. I remember reading about a particular incident: He was hanging out with Mickey Rourke in a disco when a former Rourke bodyguard started a fight with them. Looks like neither former boxer Rourke nor Van Damme oppossed much resistance to the attack. Of course, they may have been drunk or worse when that happenned.

i said f**k jean cluade not that he was tough.

vinnie was just a cheating footballer he's a wuss in reality! his characters are hard though.

Judd nelson is a pretty bad motherf**ker though!

[The Burgomaster]

Here are some suggestions (in no particular order):

* CHARLES BRONSON
* HUMPHREY BOGART
* JOHN WAYNE
* JAMES CAGNEY
* LEE MARVIN
* JAMES COBURN
* VIN DIESEL
* STEVE MCQUEEN
* RICHARD ROUNDTREE
* JIM BROWN

Jack Palance, when he was a little younger. The guy used to box, does one-armed pushups in his old age, and got his face smashed in during WW2 (B-17 crash). Since the reconstructive surgery, he's had that hard look. He can also be pretty intimidating delivering a line.

Harrison Ford acn be pretty tough, mentally as well as physically.

Mentally I can recall two scenes.  In "Sum Of All Fears" when he's facing the president and dressing him down with his "how dare you..".  In "the Fugitive" when he's talking to Sam on the phone (about trying to solve a puzzle)  and he's saying "Well I am...and I just found a big piece".  

In both scenes I just got the feeling that if he thinks he's right, I would hate to be the one in the wrong.

[Dolph Lundgren]

Definitely Chuck Norris.  The dude is probably near 60 years old and he could still kick ass.  He's in better condition now than guys in their 20s.  That, and he trained with Bruce Lee.  Laugh if you will, but I believe Chuck could definitely hold his own.

As much as I enjoy Van Damme, I remember him getting his ass handed to him by Chuck Zito.  Another guy I wouldn't mess with.

And as for Dolph, I'm sure he might seem pretty lumbering on the screen, but I bet the guy could kick some ass in real life.

Chuck is 63.

Of course, if you go with legitmate (not JCVD) martial artists that became actors, You've got a few that can kick ass. Cynthia is pretty hot and can do so. I wouldn't want to fight Don "The Dragon" Wilson either.

Dolph probably can kick some ass. He bruised Sly Stallone's heart filming Rocky IV.

Now lets name sissy boys who would get the three-fist beatdown in a real fight. I'm voting that Leoretardo DeCaprio would would bleed like a sieve.

I read a brief item somewhere (yahoo probably) that Dicrappio had one of his bodyguards beat up a former boyfriend of whatever girl he was doing at the time.  Compleatly lame & wussy.

One guy I wouldn't mess with even today:  Bruce Lee.  Even dead he'd take on all comers.

[Chadzilla]

Clint Eastwood could make another Dirty Harry movie and, pushing 74, still make cracking the skulls of dudes 1/3 is age look easy.  I don't think anyone can glare quite like Clint.

Although Jack LaLanne is far from an actor, he is incredibly buffed.  Although in his 80s at the moment, a physical revealed that he had the fitness level of a healthy 28 year old.  Every birthday he goes out and pulls a tanker truck or something equal huge to show off.

[Brother Ragnarok]

Since he was in a few movies, even if they only were cameos, I say Lemmy the Motorhead.  That man could take the f**kin' world on and still have one hand free to hold a beer.

Brother R

[Wycked Nick]

I would say Bruce Cambell.
Bruce Willis.
Bruce Lee
Wow thats weird my first three tough actors all start with Bruce.
Arnold Scwartzn****r(I have no idea how to spell his last name)
Jackie Chan

[Evan3]

Im surprised no one has yet mentioned Jet Li, probably the greatest modern movie martial artist (sorry Jackie). In any case, I tend to be afraid of bands like slipknot than I am of actors. I think most band people could kick my ass.
