Most Bad Ass Movie Character of Recent Times - Nubblies.net Forums

Der Fuhrer · 09-08-2010, 02:30 PM

I hate Hollywood, and that's a fact. And while I hate the institution and 99% of the people and products that are associated with it, there is some good shit that comes out of it and some people that don't make me completely sick. One of them is Tommy Lee Jones, and one such movie is No Country for Old Men--a fucking great movie. In this film we are introduced to one of the most bad ass characters in recent times, if not of all time. His name is Anton Chigurh, and he kills so many people.

Who do you guys think is the most bad ass movie character of recent times (or all time)?

The character that Joe Pesci played in both Goodfellas and Casino.

Ugly Bastard · 09-08-2010, 03:08 PM

Liam Neeson from Taken.

And every other Joe Pescie role.

King Leonidas
John Rambo
Wyatt Earp from Tombstone

Each very different. Each very badass.

I'd also like to go on record as stating that I thought No Country was terribly over-hyped and pretty subpar in general.

There, I said it.

.

How many times have you seen it? I get this way with movies sometimes, then I wait until the hype dies down and watch it again. I'd recommend a re-watch, alone.

Saw it twice. Once when it came out on DVD, one on TV a long time later. It was better the second time, but still not that good.

Doc is more badass than Wyatt

I disagree wholeheartedly. Sure, I like Doc much more than Wyatt, but the man's badassedness doesn't hold a candle to Wyatt's.

Der Fuhrer · 09-08-2010, 07:17 PM

It's ok Blonde. He'd rather watch his pussy vampire show than the story of a man who ruthlessly murders countless people. He strangled a man with his handcuff for christ's sake. I feel that was one of the most violent murder scenes I've seen. Not because of gore, just because the struggle was very vivd.

I'm suprised he didn't say sookie was the most bad ass character, but then again, if true blood were a movie, he might have.

All this tombstone talk has given me an urge to watch the movie again. It's been some time since I've last seen it.

Orgazmo · 09-08-2010, 07:31 PM

Let me put this in terms that you may be able to understand, Fuhrer. The three gentlemen in my post are level 70 badasses with fully maxed out armor and multiple lich king victories.

The guy from No Country is, at best, a level 35 badass.

As a movie, No Country is certainly no higher than a level 15. It has no special armor or special weapons.

Who had to do the others fighting for them?

"I can't win can I?" says Wyatt to Doc.

Orgazmo · 09-08-2010, 07:35 PM

And who died while wheezing in a bed?

Sure, Doc was a faster gun and a badass in his own right. He's one of my favorite characters of all time. But comparing his badassery to Wyatt...it's preposterous.

Beebs · 09-08-2010, 07:53 PM

Maybe badass movie characters isn't your game Gaz. I know, let's have a spelling contest.

DDTempest · 09-08-2010, 07:59 PM

Anton Chigurh is a pure fucking badass. He took some pretty massive damage and still soldiered on like a pimp. While you may not have enjoyed the movie to the extent of Tombstone, to say that Chigurh is not a level 70 badass is a very fucking bold claim.

I'll add these submissions.
Brad Pitt as Mickey O'Neil in Snatch.

Vin Diesel as Riddick in Pitch Black / Chronicles of Riddick. (sort of lame movies, but he is an undeniable badass)

Mel Gibson as Mad Max.

Good point, but he was too afraid to break up with his girl, and in the end, he knew Doc was the badder man.
