Best "Macho Movie"?

[MovieBud]

What is the best macho movie ever made? To be considered a "macho movie", it must contain most of these characteristics:

* The villain has no redeeming qualities.
* Things will be blown up.
* Guns will be fired and meaningless characters will be killed.
* The main character won't say much but he will say some catchy things.
* A woman or child will be kidnapped.
* There will be hand-to-hand combat to prove who is really the toughest.
* Someone will have a very cool vehicle.

Payback - either Lee Marvin or Mel Gibson

The Good the Bad the Ugly, or either of the other 2 in the series

Or how about the two bad guys in Fargo?

Definitely Payback! Fulfills each and every requirement. It's also very satisfying somehow to see Mel being a complete sociopath.

This is the only criteria of yours that I don't agree with. Just because a person is a good fighter does'nt make him 'macho'. Here is my list;

Payback (Mel Gibson)
One Good Cop (Mcheal Keaton)
The Die Hard trilogy (Bruce Willis)
Desperado (Antonio Banderas)

Payback was a great movie. Tranfer Gibson's attitutude in that into a Marvel Punisher movie and it would be awesome

everything i heard about payback made me think it was a piece of crap...now i'll have to rent it and see what you guys are talking about.

The following should be included as Macho movies:

1. The original Lethal Weapon with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover
2. Lethal Weapon 4 which added Jet Li and Chris Rock... :mst:

Lethal Weapon....good call...

Being one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies, how could I forget to put that one in my list?

"Touch me again and I'll kill ya" POW!!!

How can there not be an Arnie film in this yet, he's the king of said category.

How about Commando, The Running Man or Raw Deal.

Don't forget Romeo Must Die with Jet Li and Aaliyah. It had some good manly man fight scenes and action...

 

[D_Brady]

Romeo must die, The villian in that movie was Russel Wong he was in a short series called Vanashing son. He was the hero in that one and had some of the best fight scenes I have ever seen for a made for tv. I taped and still watch it now and then.

He'll be on another series starting this Sunday, if I recall correctly, called Black Sash. It seems like a Dangerous Minds/Kung Fu/Dawson Creek type hybrid to me. I'll watch the first few episodes but I don't have high hopes for it.

Yeah, I'm there for the first few episodes too even though I've heard some stories that it's a pretty cheesy show. Anyway, I'll go ahead and check out a few of the shows and see how it measures up... :shrug:

"Classic" Macho Movie's

Mel Gibson in "The Road Warrior"

Christopher Lambert in the original "Highlander" IMHO Clancy "Kurgan" Brown plays the best villian in it.

If you can exchange a car for a chariot Russell Crow in "Gladiator" wasn't to bad either.

Just my 2 cents

I can't agree with the Highlander- Russell Mulcahy being so obviously in love with Lambert made the camera work a bit too...hmm... well there's just a bit too much sexual tension going on and it translates to the film. While the movie is fun- cult classic even- and I enjoy the sword scenes, it's really not at all macho.

Clancy Brown sure do make a nice villain tho- especially in The Shawshank Redemption.

Just my opinion dude.
