Jason Bourne v Bryan Mills?
Discussion
Caught Taken again tonight a very easy 100min watch, and got me to thinking in this post Bourne actioner era, it got me to thinking when I was younger my brother and I use to argue over who was harder Regan & Carter (The Sweeney) or Bodie & Doyle (The Professionals), a tag match (as a generational thing) my brother used to win by dint of 8years, 5 stone, and some evil wrestling holds.
I digress.
Okay just for laughs, who's harder, rules? You've seen fight scenes, hand to hand, hand to knife, head to car door, neck to shower curtain, magazine, disarm your opponent shoot him with his own gun, you get the idea... In fact let's open it and include Bond, or anyone else, name the one man army, the character and film, you want to save your ass.
Just for fun... discuss.

What no Jason "I'm not the gay" statham fans in da house.
Shirly not Bruce die hard was always a man desperately hang on surviving on the edge of peril. Bourne, bond, mills are one man army on a mission.
I do like Top Trumps Film Hard Man idea, although purely longetivity bond would win the total body count.
I fear chuck though a tough act in a plain hand to hand, would too inflexible in the confined bathroom fight arena, too fair, and would find himself impaled on a shower curtain pole.

I strongly dispute Bond would win on total body count. He doesn't actually do that much killing. I reckon as many folk get it in the newest Rmabo as have in ALL the Bond movies combined. Now that I have said that, I am on a quest for the figures!Shirly not Bruce die hard was always a man desperately hang on surviving on the edge of peril.

As for movie hardmen, love him or lothe him, but Arnie's the daddy! Get to da choppa!
I'm curious is there website dedicated to film bodyxount?! At the same I would not wish to let this thread about film character "hardness" decend into a simplistic bodycount as the only arbitar of absolute "hardness" after all bond henchmen, like anyone in a red jumper in star trek are offed without little fight or skill, like Rambo sheriff dept or gooks with little skill, but in huge numbers!
Remember were talking of an Alien vs Predator style deathmatch!

I wonder which actor has the highest on screen body count of all time.
John Wayne
Clint Eastwood must be a good shout.
Arnie or Sly must be top ten.
Any one else come close.
Nah, highest body count has to be Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots part deux. At least they had an on-screen counter for the body count (or was it Hot Shots, I can't remember).John Wayne
Clint Eastwood must be a good shout.
Arnie or Sly must be top ten.

Princess Leia: No! Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly...
Governor Tarkin: [impatiently] You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: *Where* is the rebel base?
Princess Leia: ...Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.
Governor Tarkin: There. You see, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready.
Princess Leia: WHAT?
Governor Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.
Cant be many that have destroyed a whole planet!

Well if were going off down the body count tangent...
He caused the end of the world in Dr Strangelove (surely more than some tin pot Star Wars planet), I propose Sterling Hayden, as General Jack D Ripper, whose madness in launching a premptive strike on Russia and trigger the doomsday machine, and all in the cause of purity of essence in his bodily fluids

Highest body count at the moment is actually LOTR - Return of the King.
