seanbrock 1,684 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Ok, So I have nothing better to do. I wanna see who TGP thinks is the greatest action movie star of all time. We'll start with nominations. I'll make the first nomination. If you don't have somebody to nominate you can second a nomination. Anyone can second any nomination though but only once per action star nominated. Whoever gets the most votes gets the higher seeds and then we make our kick ass action movie bracket. Bruce Willis- In my opinion is the star of the greatest action movie of all time, Die Hard. He's been in some awesome films. He's the man in Pulp Fiction. He's a legend, period. Bruce Willis 3 votes Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson 3 votes Jean Claude Van Damme 2 Votes Jason Statham 4 Votes Arnold Schwarzenegger 3 Votes Sylvester Stallone 3 Votes Steve McQueen 3 Votes Danny Trejo 2 Votes Steven Segal 2 Votes Angelina Jolie 2 Votes Liam Neisson 2 Votes Vin Diesel 2 Votes Wesley Snipes 2 Votes Harrison Ford 2 Votes Clint Eastwood 3 Votes Chuck Norris 1 Votes Mel Gibson 1 Votes Samuel L. Jackson 1 Votes Will Smith 2 Votes Bruce Lee 3 Votes Tom Cruise 3 Votes Sigourney Weaver 2 Votes Mila Jovovic 2 Votes Kate Beckinsale 2 Votes Denzel Washington 2 Votes Jackie Chan 2 Votes Charles Bronson 2 Votes Jet Li 1 Votes Matt Damon 1 Votes Nicholas Cage 1 Votes Edited October 17, 2013 by seanbrock 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted October 10, 2013 Going modern, Jason Statham has to be up there. Crank, The Transporter, and Death Race are all enjoyable movies because he's in it being amazing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch 874 Posted October 10, 2013 Bruce Willis is the best action star of all time. Die Hard trilogy, 5th element which is one of my favorites, Armageddon amongst many other great movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted October 10, 2013 Clint Eastwood is the man, but I really don't think of him as an "action" star. Maybe it's just me. Anyway... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted October 10, 2013 I'll add a man who needs no introduction Mel Gibson Samuel L. Jackson I'll second all the nominations made so far. We're off to a good start but need to get some more votes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Packers Dynasty 2010 116 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Jason Statham is currently one of my favorite action stars. Liam Neeson is another one so I vote for both of them. I'll also add Will Smith, with movies like Bad Boys, Independence Day, MIB, and I am Legend he deserves to be in this tournament.

theMileHighGuy 656 Posted October 13, 2013 +1 for the Rock. Just rewatched the Rundown and Walking Tall the other day. BUT +500 for Jackie Chan - How is he not on here?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted October 13, 2013 I think most of these have already been mentioned, but here's my full list of noms... Bruce Willis - Obvious Arnold Schwarzenegger - If it bleeds, we can kill it. Jason Statham - Best modern guy, IMO. Harrison Ford - Never tell me the odds. Clint Eastwood - Callahan. Denzel Washington - A tad out of his element with action but he's still epic. Tom Cruise - Quietly has a nice resume of strong performances. Collateral, Minority Report, Mission: Impossible, etc. Steve McQueen - Old school. Charles Bronson - More old school. Sylvester Stallone - Kind of have to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
