Lights... Camera.... ACTION

So I read an article that lists the 25 greatest Action Heros. I've seen most of the movies, but don't necessarily agree with the order. Especially since Die Hard came in at number one. "What would be your list, Adam" you ask? Well thanks for asking!

25. Samuel L Jackson in Snakes on a Plane
24. Sly in the Rocky Movies. Just ignore the last couple ones.
23. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton and Michael Biehn in Tombstone.
22. Harrison Ford in Air Force One. Who wouldn't vote for a president candidate who can say "get off my plane" so well!
21. Harrison Ford in Star Wars. Two best words spoken by a man after hearing "I love you"... "I Know"
20. Bruce Willis in Die Hard movies.
19. Jason Statham in Transporter movies.
18. Mickey Rourke in Sin City. Being surrounded by Jessica Alba and Brittany Murphy helps!
17. Arnold in Predator. "I'M HERE.... COME AND GET ME"
16. Bruce Campbell in Army of Darkness. Not only good action, but funny too! "Good.... Bad.... I'm the guy with the gun!"
15. Sly in Rambo films.
14. Mel Gibson in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves.
13. Sigourney Weaver in Aliens. Aliens 3 was still one of my least favorite movies ever!
12. Antonio Bandaras in Desperado. Any hero that gets Selma Hayek is a winner in my book!
11. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
10. Matt Damon in the Jason Bourne movies. He's much better without crappy Ben Affleck hanging around
9. Ed Norton and Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Not sure who to give the spot to so gave it to both... they're the same person! oops.. spoiler!
8. Sean Connery in Goldfinger. Yeah, he's a badass and this one's probably the best!
7. Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry - how did he get missed?
6. Uma Therman in Kill Bill. Probably the best fight sequences in that movie.
5. Sean Connery in Hunt for Red October. "One ping and one ping only". Apologies to his role in The Rock which could also get a nod for this list.
4. Arnold in Terminator... Terminators....
3. Russell Crowe in Gladiator. Greatest moment, when he takes his mask off after the first match and says "loyal servant to the true emperor. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
2. Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon.... he's much underrated!
1. Optimus Prime!!! Yeah, can you tell Transformers just came out on DVD?

There's my thoughts... any comments? Anyone I missed?

Best Action Heroes:

Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones beats any of this other roles.

Viggo Mortensen (or maybe Orlando Bloom) from any of the Lords of the Rings movies

The shark in Jaws.
