White Knight Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 MY VOTE IS Yes, all these people now days are just trying to suprass Arnold, but ya can't do it with weak movies, Arnold spawned Classic After Classic in the 80's and 90's and they by far suprass alot of action movies here today.

Paladin D Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 This is [b]ANOTHER[/b] hard poll, man White Knight, you're trying to screw with my brain! *Runs around yelling* I would have to vote [b]"no"[/b], considering I also like Sylvester Stallone a lot. I would say it's a [b]tie[/b] between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Knight Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Put Arnold is more American than alot of Americans today, He set a huge example. He can act, he has a fantastic acting talent if you look hard enough, Come on, who can be Funny and Cool at the same time? name another actor.... lol If someone would have said "Your Fired", other than Arnold it wouldn't be funny.

DemonSlayer Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Absolutely not, Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are far ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Bruce Lee wasnt really an action hero, i voted yes. although sloth from the goonies did come a close second......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) [quote name='DemonSlayer' date='Sep 29 2004, 08:29 AM'] Absolutely not, Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are far ahead of him. [/quote] Where not talking about Matrial Arts Action Heros, where talking about American Fighting Action Heros like. [b]Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator Trilogy, Conan, True Lies, Predator etc) Mel Gibson (Lethal Weapon Series) Bruce Willis (Die Hard Trilogy) Slyvester Stallone (Rambo Trilogy & The Rocky Series) Danny Clover (Lethal Weapon Series) Clint Eastwood (Cowboy films of all kinds) John Wayne (Also did Cowboy American Movies) Westly Snipes (The Blade Trilogy) Christopher Lambert (The Highlander Saga) Sean Connery (Anything)[/b] Those are American Action Heros, dispite the fact that Arnold, and Bruce were born in Europe, there still more American than alot of Americans today. Not their movies, but Arnold and Bruce have strong feelings for America. Edited September 29, 2004 by White Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Sean Connery is Scottish (and made his name playing in the British James Bond movies. - ironic since Connery's a Scottish Seperatist activist) And, yes, he's still the best Bond of all time! I'm pretty sure Bruce was born in America - I think you're confusing him with someone else. Of course, no one's more American than John Wayne!!

Socrates Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I'm a fan of Clint Eastwood - good ol' Clint with the squint! He's just got that . . . INTENSITY! Man with No Name trilogy is classic (though they're Italian made).

DemonSlayer Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Why do they have to be American? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 Because everyone trying to immtate Asian Action, which is getting annoying, ever since the Matrix, theres been martial arts in every single action movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I haven't seen any American Action in action films lately..... which kind of upsets me, because we've abandon the classic elements of Action on screen, for a newer, funkyer way. I love Martial Arts, but I'm tired of seeing people who know martial arts, in every single film. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Totally agreed. But what annoys me as well, is that half of the people in these films have nevr studied Martial Arts before and simply did a "crash course". its really annoying for someone who embraces Martial Arts and i think that its just mean. grrr. the end of my rant will be here.
