HARDEST ACTION HEROES IN MOVIE HISTORY

Added on: 26th Oct 2016

 

ETHAN HUNT

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt is a senior field ops agent

for the IMF, an elite, top-secret espionage and covert

operations agency that handles dangerous and

highly sensitive international missions that have

been deemed “impossible.”

 

 

CHAN KA-KUI

Jackie Chan

Inspector Chan Ka-Kui is the main protagonist in the

Police Story film series and the role that made Jackie Chan

famous in the West. Never again has an actor ever done

so many stunts by himself only so he can catch the bad guys.

 

 

BLADE

Blade

Wesley Snipes as Daywalker is half-human, half-vampire and

all action as he puts his fellow creatures of the night in their

place. Additionally, he does not burn in direct sunlight

(that’s why they call him the Daywalker after all), which means

that he can continue kicking and punching during daytime too.

 

 

CASEY RYBACK

Steven Seagal

Casey Ryback is a decorated former Navy SEAL who,

after striking a superior officer, was bumped down to

cook on the battleship Missouri. When the Missouri is

about to celebrate its last trip at sea, it is taken over

by terrorists who quickly discover that you should

never underestimate the chef!

 

 

NEO

The Matrix

This is the type of story that would fascinate every nerd around

the world. Before he became Neo and escaped the Matrix,

Thomas Anderson was a geeky computer programmer.

Once he takes the magical pill and discovers the

truth he becomes our saviour.

 

 

JASON BOURNE

Jason Bourne

Arguably the most sophisticated and intelligent action hero

of our generation, Matt Damon as Jason Bourne was part

of a project called Treadstone, in which agents were turned

into the ultimate assassin. He was shot while on a mission

and lost his memory, which sets up the background to

the first movie. His memory loss is a form of amnesia

where he forgets his name and much of his past, but

retains his kinetic reflexes, which allows him to do

what he does best!

 

 

KING LEONIDAS

300

I know what some of you are probably thinking: King Leonidas

isn’t an action hero but a historical figure, right? How many

of you knew him before Zack Snyder made him one of the

baddest warriors we have ever seen on the big screen, huh?

 

 

DIRTY HARRY

Dirty Harry

One could really argue that Dirty Harry is one of the very first

true action heroes in movie history but we won’t put our

two cents into this debate especially when someone

like Chuck Norris will be on the list.
