I figured I'd mix it up by adding in some of the top martial arts guys, just to see if it makes any difference ;D
Everyone on the list has been in at least a couple of high action films and has actually managed to spark my sieve of a memory into recalling who they are, which is an achievement in and of itself! ;D
So - who is the king of the Action Heroes?
Personally, I gotta give it to The Governator. Arnie just has this awesome ability to seem unstoppable and invincible - even when he's doing genre spoofs, like True Lies.

Making me choose between two of my favorite actors Samuel L. Jackson and Vin Diesel. How dare you! That said I have to go with Diesel. He doesn't choose the right roles most of the time but there's no denying he saved Pitch Black from being just another creature feature just like Arnie saved the Terminator and many other films.
I also picked Diesel because he's got more range than most of the guys on this list. He can play comedy, drama, and action.
Much as I like Schwarzennegger him being in politics now sort of ruins his appeal to me. I like my action stars to not be involved in politics thank you very much.

Shoot me, but I picked Jackie Shan, damn, he's good, he does his stunts himself and he's funny!! And not too bad to look at either  ;D
Personally I don't like those bodybuilder types like arnie, steven seagal and certainly not jean claude vandamme

Steven Seagal is most certainly not a bodybuilder.
John Travolta, E? Seriously?

Face/Off, Hec. Otherwise he's mainly been the bad guy. He was good in that, though.
Didn't actually expect him to get any votes, mind! He's just kinda making the numbers up ;D

Well granted but he's one of ours, dude Konrad, please. Action heroes isn't really Elliot's force, so as cool as Statham is, you can't expect Kanemeister to remember him. Now, had this been a poll about the best teeenybobber girlie singer you can bet ol' man Kane would've remembered everyone ;D |

I think so far it's 'Other' by a landslide! ;D
But interestingly, the only person with more than one actual vote is... Bruce Willis! yay Bruce! ;D

With two votes on "Other" and two votes on Willis I'd call it a tie (cause, you know, the votes count, not the people telling who you left out). but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on excatly how the voting turned out as a landslide victory to "other" .. Please, entertain me ;D |
