Not bad I was hoping some of the people on the list would make it and to my surprise they did. Ripley was even #2, I was starting to doubt she'd be on there after 10.

Can't say that #1 is who I'd have picked but at least it wasn't Chuck Norris...

This list is sh*t. Mel Gibson and Keanu Reeves are higher than Arnold F*cking Schwarzenegger, and Jean-Claude van Damme is nowhere to be seen while losers like Matt Damon and Tom Cruise make the cut. At least Jackie Chan is on there, and it's hard to argue with the number one spot.

Their rating the character they played not the actor. But Tom Cruise has never been a good action hero so I agree there. Bourne was a pretty awesome guy, he's take on 4 guys with guns while he was unarmed disassembling their weapons as he did. That's pretty bad ass. I don't think they should have been as high on the list as they were though.

I'm just glad Chow Yun Fat made the cut, he was the bomb in Hard Boiled.

Yeah I know, but still. Neo over the Terminator? I have one thing to say to that:

'Whoa'

Seriously, the terminator is a freaking robot. Not only did he kill his better but he's so bad ass he can't even kill himself so someone has to do it for him. The only reason he dies is because he let's someone do it. That's pretty bad ass.

Neo didn't do anything for me, he flew around like Super-man and gave Dragon Ball Z fans hope in a live action film. Not a great track record...

What the HELL was Mel Gibson even doing on the list, let alone in the top 5? The top 3 were all really good, though. But also...I think Will Smith should have been in there somewhere. LOL! "Welcome to Erf!" *PUNCH*

Thank you, EW, for bogging down my browser history by not making a list like normal websites would and instead making me click extra pages. Jackassses.

That list is completely scrambled. How can Robocop be better than Bruce Lee? And where's Luke Skywalker?!





Gah! Holy Roman Castration, Batman!
