I was thinking today...who's the biggest badass on film and TV?

Movie - Tony Montana - Scarface

Such a pimp. He can just stand there watching his friend be chopped up with a chainsaw without real expression on his face. "Say hello to my little friend!!"

TV - Jack Bauer - 24

Also badass. He'd be a pretty scary guy to be confronted by. Not to mention how he threatens to kill a guy's entire family just for info :devil: (I know it's evil...but in this case the guy pretty much deserved it...and the situation called for it). Definitely kicks some ass.
 
Nice thread. The one that came to mind first was Tadanobu Asano from ichi the killer (www.ichithekiller.com) it's the guy with the 'extended smile' , he tortures alot without winkin'an eye.
Another badass is indeed Tony Montana, love that movie Scarface.

Or perhaps Samuel L. Jackson in pulp fiction, I wouldn't want to be staring into the barrel of his gun while he's reciting the bible and sipping your delicious beverage lol

Anyone ever see Henry, portrait of a serial killer? Definite badass, well actually a twisted motherf**er

Ofcourse one of my favourites would be Sir Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the Silence of The Lambs. "I ate his liver with a bottle of Chianti (slimy noise)

EDIT: does badass mean 'tough guy' or are my examples ok?
 
Nice thread indeed, the first of its kind. :)

THE NOMINATION goes for the real bad ass in Films and TV TO:

Vin Deazil :rolleyes:
 
In my opinion it would be Jet Li's character in Lethal Weapon 4. I mean come on, getting stuck with that metal rod, and still wanting to fight.. or.. When he jumped off the stairs in the house?


Well.. maybe not such a good one
 
I like Bud White from LA Confidential.

I don't watch too many TV series, only HBO ones really.
 
the biggest badass WILL be the final james bond villan- he will make a biological experiment which will result in a mutilated form of all the james bond villans in one big ball of evil- that will then die because it has too many organs. the carcass will fall on its maker and james bond will have his job done for him.

Tough guy or just plain awesome...the way I was thinking is someone you wouldn't want as your enemy.

Your examples are good.
 
you know, completely OT (from the timmy?? for shame!) but i have a great idea for a bond movie.. not that it's well thought out or anything, but i think it'd be cool to see an old bond (timothy dalton specifically) turn up as a bad guy (vs brosnan) in the next movie. the bond villians are getting lame to me anyways, it'd be cool to see that confrontation. i mean that dalton's character is the old bond too, like he was decomishioned or something, or presumed dead (then brosnan's bond took over), but he really staged his death, b/c he became disallusioned with mi6 (or whatever) over some quasiphilosophical/political differences with his superiors (they made him kill a kid or something.. i dunno :P). the audience doesn't know it at first (for like the first half of the movie or so). but it's really the old bond (dalton) that's behind whatever mischief is going on, controlling things from his secret tropical island.. there'd be lots of half-naked chicks and explosions and a little bit of the tete-a-tete between the bonds, and maybe some things go on that make the current bond question his loyalties a bit (they sorta play with that theme from time to time i think). i dunno, i'd really like that :)

dalton is a good choice b/c he's recent and he kinda sucked so no one cares about him :) (if they have him die or something).

ok, i'm done. oh and clint eastwood's character in "the good, the bad, and the ugly" (the 'man with no name') is the ultiamte badass.
 
I have been bord shitless by current Bond movies.
 
The purple Teletubby.

Holy freakin' crap, I'd hate to get in a fight with that guy (girl? it.).
 
Biggest Film badass: *TIE* Hannibal Lector and Darth Vader. (All who disagree are henceforth hopeless).

Biggest TV badass: Stewie, Family Guy.

Definatelly Wolf from Pulp fiction. If you forget who Wolf was:

JIMMIE
You gotta understand something, Winston. I want to help you guys out and all, but that's my best linen. It was a wedding present from my Uncle Conrad and Aunt Ginny, and they ain't with us anymore --

THE WOLF
-- let me ask you a question, if you don't mind?

JIMMIE
Sure.

THE WOLF
Were you Uncle Conrad and Aunt Ginny millionaires?

JIMMIE
No.

THE WOLF
Well, your Uncle Marsellus is. And I'm positive if Uncle Conrad and Aunt Ginny were millionaires, they would've furnished you with a whole bedroom set, which your Uncle Marsellus is more than happy to do.
 
The biggest badass in my opionion would have to be Michael Madsen or "Mr. Blonde" from Reservoir Dogs. The way he cut that cops ear off without even flinching. He's got to be up there.
 
tha wolf? naw man come on fuk that. he aint nothin, java would smoke him. he wouldnt even have ta he coul just say "ubba ****a wolfa" and one of javas hunnies would flip out and tear the wolf apart. the wolf wuld be cryin about his hair and suit getting messed up, and java wuld just be chillin in tha cut.
 
Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs... the man tortures people... for FUN!
 
Mr. Blonde I mean... dammit... I knew that was wrong...
 
Indiana Jones is the daddy - and would own anyone!
 
Toshirô Mifune who plays Sanjuro Kuwabatake in the film 'Yojimbo'.

"You don't mind if I kill all of you?"
"What? Kill me if you can!"
"It'll hurt."
*dices them up at light speed and walks away calmly*

class film.



EDIT: woo Hydra :cheers:
 
Damnit, this is all too hard.. So many badasses , from 80s actionmovies and such. But for the moment it's Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) from Star Wars, he's got the phrase B.M.F (Bad Mother ****er.. ) carved into his lightsaber handle..
