Whose your favorite movie Hero

[Anybody]

That soundtrack/score thread got me thinking of mine... Indiana Jones... adventurer.. womanizer..scholar...an everymans everyman.

 

[IAmAPirate]

Buckaroo Banzai.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I say the Kurt Russell character (Jack Burton?) from Big Trouble in Little China.

Hoke Mosley (played by the vastly-underrated Fred Ward) in Miami Blues was a hoot as well.

 

[FiddleDD]

Superman...of course.

And Dean Cain...did a great job on the TV series.

 

[IAmAPirate]

Just like Jack Burton always says.....


I also like the character Mark, that was popularized by Chow Yun Fat in A Better Tomorrow.

 

[Yeeny]

John McClane: the hero from the Die Hard trilogy. He kicked booty, looked good all sweaty. What more could a girl want?

 

[Anybody]

Jack Burton...excellent!!!! Great answer...his arrogance and "macho" make an incredible hero... :>

John McClane... another great hero... his sarcasm while dealing with his own personal issues make him a character you can really get into...

Superman... nothing needs to be said.. supes is supes. :>.

Buckaroo Banzai... Brain Surgeon... Rock star... Brillaint Scientist..and he's got a direct line to the president.. BB rocks. :>

What about Remo Williams?!?!

 

[IAmAPirate]

remo wasn't well done in the movies, better in the books.

 

[Locutus of Board]

Superman is the coolest.

Would be better if there were no kryptonite.

My fav TV hero is Mr. Hanky

 

[Adrian Tung]

Another vote for Jack Burton here. Just the right combination of coolness and machoism without becoming too corny.

[HorB]

Ronald Colman as Sydney Carton in "A Tale of Two Cities" (1935)

 

[Daedalus]

Mr Spock or Mad Max

 

[IAmAPirate]

Jack O'Neill (TV, not the movie)

 

[helloedchen]

William Wallace

 

Dalton from Roadhouse

Seriously though, probably Han Solo.

<edit>
Woah, let me say the &quot;pre-Jedi&quot; Han Solo. The Ewok loving wussy from Jedi is not Han Solo. Nor is the politically correct &quot;Greedo-shot-first&quot; Han Solo from the &quot;Special Edition.&quot; I'm talking the frying-Greedo's-ass-from-under-the-table, Spice-smuggling, Stormtrooper-costume-stealing Han we all grew up wanting to be.

[alexdagrate]

I agree with Inidan Jones.

Educated, a professor.

Travelled, able to speak at least a dozen languages.

Athletic, charismatic, a wiseass.

he had an irrational fear of snakes to make him more human, he hated the most despisable people ever: the Nazis.

He always got the girl, and he knew how to pick 'em.

 

[J-Dub]

Maybe he's not a true hero, but I like Humphrey Bogart's character in Casablanca, Rick Blaine.

 

[Jonny]

ummm...Blade?

 

[FiddleDD]

sling blade

 

[Anybody]

mmmm... I recon I aint got any more reasons to kill... mmmmmhmmm

 

[AMDJunkie]

Ash of Evil Dead fame.

 

[SirFshAlot]

lmao @ SlingBlade
great show

best hero?
how 'bout Mr. AnonymousDeadGuyGunSlinger in High Plains Drifter

 

[WombatWoman]

Why should a hero have to be human?
I vote for Mufasa, as voiced by the magnificent James Earl Jones in &quot;The Lion King.&quot;

 

[FiddleDD]

The Lion king had so many great messages. The whole movie is a &quot;Hero&quot;.

 

[Stallion]

Arnold Swarzennegger when he played Dutch in Predator, or any of his movies for that matter.
