Jason Statham in The Transporter is pretty cool. Haven't seen the sequel yet, though.

Would agree with parsley here.

Apparently I am also William Wallace
Oots, aye !!!

I vote Mr Blonde. He'd light a ciggy, look at the pretenders and they would all jump into the boot of his car, while he drives around for days.

Steve Segals later movies generally suck, there's about 10mins of average fighting in them and the rest is budget rubbish, he looks washed out and his acting ability is weak. Of the 30 or so movies he appeared in he was good in Nico Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Under Seige, and a few others but that's it IMO.

Some of my favs in time past:

Arnie - Terminator, Predator, Eraser, Red Heat, Raw Deal, True Lies, Total Recall, The Running Man, Commando, not Twins!

Bruce Willis - Die Hard, Armageddon, The Jackel, The Seige, Unbreakable.

Sly Stallone - Rocky, Rambo, Cobra, Cliffhanger, Tango & Cash, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, Assassins.

Mel Gibson - Mad Max, Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, The Patriot, We Were Soldiers.

Nick Cage - The Rock, Con Air, Face Off (his best), City of Angels, Gone in 60 Seconds, National Treasure.

Jet Li - Lethal Weapon 4, Romeo Must Die, Kiss of the Dragon, The One, Hero.

Vin Diesel - Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, A Man Apart, Fast and Furious, XXX.

Denzel Washington - Ricochet, Fallen, The Seige, Training Day, Man on Fire.

Wesley Snipes - New Jack City, Passenger 57, Demolition Man, Blade, The Art of War.

Got a agree that SS is not the 'man' anymore. Saw one of his a while ago, turned it off: boring. But in his day..............??

Was a great fan of Kung Fu. the TV series with David Carridone. One of the best martial arts series ever made.

Many years ago had a video with some guy who practised the Crane Style Kung Fu. This guy was good and I mean real good. There was a fight scene against the Drunken style. One of the best fight scenes I have seen. I can still see it to this day. Not a style you see a lot of.

My current Action Man? With the pimply lot about at the moment Prince Charles takes a lot of beating.

You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow.

Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.

83% Jack Sparrow
67% Lara Croft

Damn they'd make some good looking babies..

I won't watch a movie if it stars Vin Diesel, Steven Segal, Rutger Hauer, Nic Nolte or Chuck Norris. None have any style or acting ability and remind me of screaming homosexuals. That goes in double measure for Diesel. Fag.
Sylvester Stallone is all of the above, as well as an illiterate, I would have to turn on the subtitles, and as I hate reading movies he's out too.

Arnie's plays a cool character, so does Mel Gibson, and Jackie Chan is always good for a laugh. Clint's a classic. I wouldn't call any of them poofters.

Personally I like the mean arse evil bastard action actors like Clint for example. Anything starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Nicolas Cage, is definately worth a look.

John Travolta, Russell Crowe (gotta love Romper Stomper) and Michael Madsen are right up there too.

For all those that are into Kung-fu movies, I suggest you check out one called Ong-Bak. And while watching it remember that no stunt doubles or wire ropes were used and very little computer effects. Tony Jaa is just that damn good.

I like Steven "Seagull", but his movies have gone down hill a bit.

Seagull has remained true and hasn't done the political forays that some actors have gone into.

It would be a close call between Bruce Willis, or Seagull.

whats that move with Travolta and Halle Berry in it? Travolta plays a classy evil bastard. he's the new Connery.

Swordfish.

I saw him in Michael. Brilliant. He is always in a good yarn. Would love to him with Pacino and de Niro. That would be something.

Bruce Lee, all the way home. In jandals.

Keen to see that Ong-Bak thing Waylander suggests too, remember readin' about the dude jumping between elephants, he grew up with them and as they grew so did he and his leapings, sounds sweet.
