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.
Cynthia Rothrock. I think she should start the ass kicking with me.
heh heh heh.
bruce willis
that woman out of primal species "she's strong, i mean f**kin strong!"
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!
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.
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.
Nick
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.
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.

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
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
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.
Martial arts do not an ass kicker make. I have met personally a number of black belts that I have no fear of. Now somebody, drunk, fresh out of prison, with a spider web tattoo, scares me.
Now, Evan, you're scared of Slipknot because they suck, right? I mean, let's not polish a turd here, those guys are pansies. Check out the guys from Dimmu Borgir or Borknagar. There are some fellers capable of kicking ass.
Brother R
Robert DeNiro?
Hmmm, I am afraid of any man who sucks, more than anything.

Ah, just close your eyes. You won't be able to tell. :)
Wow another good question! Two sound questions, none of which deal with abnormally sized men, kinda makes me feel like river dancin!
The toughest actors are definately the old skool types (in their day)
Charles Bronson - five full feet of vigilante justice
Clint Eastwood - did he fire six shots or only five. Who cares, hell beat you to death with his bare hands.
Audie Murphy - i think being the most decorated soldier in u.s. military history qualifies him as tough
Lee Marvin - tall guy, good reach, skinny guys fight till theyre burger
Judd Nelson - he was f**kin harsh!
Andy Serkis - this guy is a f**king animal! Have you seen deathwatch, he didnt even know he was in a movie!! they just filmed him on a regular stroll through the park and intercut with the rest of the movie. Probably.
Still, this guy has the glassy eyed stare of a psychotic combat vet. hes a killer.
it's all about that Lithuanian badass.
There was a movie magazine that proposed this very question - the number one badass was Steve McQueen- here's a guy who studied under Bruce Lee, did insane stunts in his films, and so forth.
It also mentioned a few that most of you have already named: Vinnie Jones (who plays soccer, favorite ploy when the ref ain't looking is a nut grab of the opponents);
Dolph Lundgren (this guy was not only Grace Jones' bodyguard but he even dated her for a short time);
But the one that REALLY threw me off was Jimmy Stewart! Apparently he had an extremely impressive war record, but he never spoke about it in any interviews.
Lee Ermy intimidating as hell in full metal jacket plus he is a marine....and i hear they kick ass

i can't believe noone's mentioned charlton heston
he may be a bit on the old side nowadays, but he seems like a bloody nutcase!
and jet li is too nice a guy, if you want to be truely tough, you need to be one angry angry person [mind you jet li can whoop ass if he wanted to do some serious damage]
and one person who fits into that category would certainly be sean penn, he has had many a go at journalists [sure he might be wooped by some other stars but in a dirty street fight with scrawny old me? it kinda reminds me of the crazed tribe guy who throws a spear in jim carrey's leg in ace ventura when nature calls!]
another suggestion is grace jones, she scares me...
um Nick, you really f**ked on up spelling schwartzenegger, take a look at the last part :(
Now lets put aside the fact he was an intense actor, but did you know he was also an intense drinker? He hired a body guard for when he went drinking.
not to keep people away from him, but to keep HIM away from people. He was a MEAN drunk.
