Bond, James Bond ..Sean Connery editions

Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo. Damn he was so freaking evil; just awesome. Unbelievable and fabulous.

I think Val Kilmer got the better of him though...

Oh that he did.

"I'll be your huckleberry"....

They played off each other so damn well.

My favorite bad ass in westerns was the Sundance Kid.

Dirty Harry had a .44 to protect him. That's one cold, ruthless ***** who survived on her wits alone. Polly Walker's Atia of the Julii would've eaten any of the men on this list for breakfast.

She was fabulous, but not quite the bad ass that Sian Phillips was as Livia:

I will take Vasquez over Sigourney Weaver any day. She was the ultimate bad ass chick. And oh so freaking hot.

Jason Statham is the man.

I'm surprised that it took 3 pages before Jason Statham was mentioned. Not only was he good in that heist movie with the mini-coopers driving away with all the gold, but he was also great in the Crank movies, as well as all of the Transporter movies.

I'm also wondering why Vin Diesel (XXX and the Fast and Furious series) has been left off the list. Vin Diesel is one of those ultimate badasses as well.
