Ranking Action Stars

Post by JSchlansky »

I have three videos ranking the best classic US action stars, the classic Asian action stars, and then the best modern action stars. I'm curious to know what other people's rankings are.
First video:

Gonna mention one of the greatest action stars that I'm pretty certain isn't going to make any of your lists:

Amitabh Bachchan.

Yeah, never heard of Amitabh Bachchan. I'm not too familiar with Bollywood beyond a couple of crazy fights scenes I've watched out of context.

I love Buster Keaton, If I ever do a video on stunts he'll be there absolutely

aye, fair enough. he's more about the design, and mad max is a bit of a spiritual successor.
for the scowling phallic-throbbing man presence i'll go with toshiro mifune.

I guess i like the westerns more than the '80s stuff, but that terminator scene is a beaut. it's cameron but it feels like carpenter
