Peoples Hernandez: You are not a cop anymore.
John Shaft: Do you think that makes me less dangerous or more dangerous?

did van cleef ever make any first rate movies? seemed to be a minor actor in minor "B" grade movies.

Clint Eastwood and Samuel L Jackson are both the biggest badasses, in very different ways.

This shouldn't be a contest.... Bruce Lee all the way! He was most badass when he killed that guy by flipping onto his balls. *searches for those gifs*

Closely followed by Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino.

I concur. Was hard to choose between Eastwood and Connery...

I second the vote for Toshiro Mifune!


While I like Sam Jackson, I'm sorry, he is no Clint Eastwood.

Tom Cruise...a good actor, yes, "bad ass" hell no!
