[AshWilliams]

I believe right after she made an appearance is when that one greasy biker guy whipped out this twelve-shooter....

The biker is Tom Saviny who is reprising a role as a biker in "Dawn of the Dead". He has a long history in horror film special effects.

Love me some horror films!

Sigourney Weaver as Ripley:
Alien
Aliens
(We won't talk about any of the other films in the Alien franchise m'kay?)

Excuse me, but the topic was tough GUYS.

Audie Murphy
His career began after his service, most decorated American soldier in World War II history.

FIFY

Delving into the world of B-grade martial artists turned actor:

Dolph Lundgren (80 films, body builder, martial arts champion, chemical engineer. All around modern renaissance man).

Rocky IV - Per Wikipedia: "Lundgren hit Stallone so hard during the filming of a fight scene that Stallone was in intensive care in the St. John's Hospital for nine days with a blood pressure of 290, due to swelling of the pericardial sac around his heart."

Steven Segal (not really)

Jean-Claude van Damme (not really)

Can't think of 2 others.

Stone Cold Steve Austin

Dwayne the rock Johnson

-something that requires an oiled up guy with pointy eyebrows

Brendan Fraser

Love me some horror films!

His ultra-realistic gore effects were inspired by real scenes of carnage he witnessed ( and photo documented) during the Vietnam war.

 

[Knobgoblin]

Mads mikkleson as 1 eye in Valhalla rising.
Mickey rourke and Bruce Willis in sin city.
Johnny Depp in dead man.
Channing Tatum in the eagle.

Not any type of list. Except that the all absorbed massive damage in these films.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Channing Tatum in the eagle.

This is a excellent movie....will have to watch it again.
Based on a book by Rosemary Sutcliff....The Eagle of the Ninth.
( outstanding novel , by the way )

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned. I would add:

Charlton Heston - Will Penny, The Big Country, Planet of the Apes, The Omega Man, Ben Hur, Arrowhead, and many more.

Gregory Peck - The Big Country, Duel in the Sun, The Gunfighter, The Guns of Navarone, The Bravados (Peck was also in several movies where he wasn't a tough guy.)

(So was) Jimmy Stewart - Winchester 73, The Far Country, Bend of the River, The Naked Spur, The Man from Laramie

Robert Mitchum - Cape Fear, Blood on the Moon, Night of the Hunter, The Lusty Men, El Dorado

Robert Duvall:

Open Range
Lonesome Dove
Broken Trail

I don't know if I would consider Tom Cruise on any list.

 

[roseburger]

Alec Baldwin
Cat in the Hat
Beetlejuice
Baby Boss
Madagascar
Chick Fight

 

[RVTECH]

Broken Trail

Definitely one of Duvall's best 'Westerns'.

It was an unusual movie for 'TV'. It seemed produced and directed more like a 'theater' movie.
