Jason Statham was pretty badass in the Transporter movies. Clive Owen was a real stunt driver though, and he skull fucked a dude with a carrot in Shoot Em Up. Sean Connery is a legit Knight. :sword: ---

I like Daniel Day Lewis. He was badass in Gangs of New York, Last of the Mohicians and most recently There Will be Blood. ![http://www.ghostinthemachine.net/butcher.jpg](http://www.ghostinthemachine.net/butcher.jpg) ---

HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE VINNY JONES!!! in terms of pure “put you in the hospital by looking at your wrong” he easily wins… but badass can mean a lot of things from actor you respect, to actor who fights a lot… so you’ll need to be more clear. ![http://www.orange.co.uk/images/editorial/vinny_30mar_rex_170.jpg](http://www.orange.co.uk/images/editorial/vinny_30mar_rex_170.jpg) ---

Base it on your own definition of “badass.” Thread’s for absolutely no purpose whatsoever anyhow. 😛 ---

even in the movie snatch Jason Statham was deadly afraid of Vinny Jones. > So, you are obviously the big dick and the men on the side of ya are your balls. There are two types of balls: there are big brave balls, and there are little mincey faggot balls. > Now, dicks have drive, and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action. And, you thought you smelled some good ol’ pussy. And, have brought your two little mincey faggot balls along for a good ol’ time. But, you’ve got your parties muddled up. There’s no pussy here, just a dose that’ll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You’re shrinking . . . and your two little balls are shrinking with ya. And, the fact that you’ve got “replica” written down the side of your guns. And, the fact that I’ve got “Desert Eagle point 5 0” written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now . . . fu\*\* off. ---

Good poll, Fry. This is a legitimately tough decision. Statham gets my vote. ---

I understand not many will agree with Daniel Day Lewis, but what about Hannibal himself? Anthony Hopkins is the pure fucking shit, and if you wanted to use a list of movies to prove a point, here is IMDB. [Anthony Hopkins - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000164/) ---

I voted for Statham based on Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Crank was ok, Transporter 1 was great, 2 was meh. Out of all those guys, I would be most affraid of Statham or Jones if I met them under bad circumstances. ---
