I don't really agree with Neo, but then again it's admirable to put together a list of this size.

I agree with some of the list.

Hell yeah John McClane, but some of it is off.
Neo? Really? Steven Segal doing a John McClane rip off?
Ethan Hawke ahead of Bond?

for real? I thought the badass in that movie was Robert Patrick doing the T-1000. Arnold was way more badass in T1 when he was the bad guy....that movie was intense. Especially since it was human vs. robot not robot vs. robot.

Both T1 and T2 have their strengths, but I thought Arnie was way more badass in T1.

Are you saying that because you think he is the ultimate movie bad ass or you feel the list is a joke?

You realize, you are referring to the villain in both of those movies, and this is a list of heroes?

touche, touche.....i was too lazy to invest extensive reading time into the topic

but i get quick to defend T1 since I think T2 gets way more credit than the underrated T1.
