No.4 - Seth Gecko - The role that proved to me for the first time that George Clooney could be an effin' bad-ass. :teddyr:

Capt. James T. Kirk.  I guess he was an admiral in the movies.  I suppose his movies weren't "B movies", but it sure was a cheesy TV show  :teddyr:

6. Steven Seagal as Casey "Just a Cook" Ryback in Under Siege

Also, Gary Busey was one of my all-time bad guys in this movie. He's a traitor, but he's also still a Navy officer who gets upset about messy uniforms. And he does most of the movie in drag.

7. Mark Loftmore (Zack Galligan, Waxwork) -
(http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6823/waxworkloftmore1me8.png)
Normally when you see cynical, smoking rich kids in movies it means they're meant to be hated and violently killed. Mark however takes it a step above the usual stereotype, neither disrespecting nor condescending to the people his mother barely refers to as human. In the end he ends up saving a somewhat trashy (Well in the sequel anyway) girl and getting a big hand from a cavalcade of well-trained but lower class citizens his family disowned. With said help he manages to stop the devil's servant who has plagued the time-warrior friends of his grandfather (Whom his family also disowned), and in the sequel, becomes one of them.

Mr Buckaroo Banzai.

Any celebrity scientist who doubles as a rockstar is a hero in my book.  Gotta love his squad The Hong Kong Cavaliers as well, packed full of awesome names and characters such as Perfect Tommy and the Cowboy Loving New Jersey [Jeff Goblum]

Title: Re: 100 Most Awesome Movie Heroes/Protaganists
Post by: AnubisVonMojo on August 30, 2008, 07:53:41 PM
No.16 - Dae-su Oh - Locked away in a cell for 15 years, the hero of Oldboy is finally released and must track down who put him there and why. Why's he awesome? Well, that 15 years gave him plenty of time to train his body and self-teach himself how to beat the crap out of people. Comes in handy for the following scene, his apex of awesomeness.

23. SPENCER TRACY as the one-armed hero John J. MacReedy in BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK.  I love the scene where he kicks bullying thug ERNEST BORGNINE's ass.

No.31 - Harry Knuckles - Canadian secret agent who battles the forces of evil (and intentionally cheesy dubbing) alongside his faithful companion El Santo.

32. King Kong

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/88/Img_kingkong1.jpg)

Although he's technically set up as the antagonist, the big ape ends up as the tragic hero the audience finds itself rooting for.

Mysterious in part 1, villain in part 2, vengeful warrior in part 3, mentor being in parts 4 and 5, nonpresence in part 6, finally a hero in part 7, dubious villain in part 8, and near-retconned in part 9... Despite the fact he has appeared in so many guises, Andre Toulon, the creator of the deadly PUPPET MASTER puppets, is definitely the protagonist, who held the series together and guided us through it. :thumbup:
