Mitch Rapp v. Jason Bourne v. Jack Bauer v. James Bond

Rapp>Bauer>Bourne>Bond

Depends which Bond we're talking about.

Connery Bond>all

[GDC]

Jack Reacher? Parker?

Don't be ridiculous.

Connery Bond>all

None of the Bonds save, perhaps, Daniel Craig could beat Bourne let alone Bauer and Rapp who are in a league unto their own. Bond does't get his hands dirty quite like the other three. Rapp makes James Bond look like a choir boy.

Connery Bond was smooth. He didn't have to get his hands dirty, they were too busy fondling women. I might give the edge to Bourne...might.

Arnold in 'Commando'
(the all time body-count movie. Conservatively he personally offs something in excess of 245 people. Many with non-firearm weapons, including, but not limited to, a circular saw blade <think frisbee with attitude>, a machete, an axe, a folding chair, a chunk of pipe and his own biceps.)

"Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired"

"Stick around, I'll be back"

"You've got to learn not to lose your head."

"Oh, John, calm down and blow off some steam."

"I eat greeen berets for breakfast."

"Sully, remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied."

And, from Rae Dawn Chong, "You guys really should cut back on the red meat."

Arnold, in his prime, would've popped all their heads like zits and THEN bundled up their girlfriends, sisters, mothers and other wimmens and headed back to his hacienda in the Sierras with a beer in hand and a cigar clenched in his jaw.

Mitch Rapp is the best, Jack Reacher would have been a close second until Tom Cruise was cast as him. WTF? Cruise can't be Reacher.

What about Scot Harvath?

No doubt. Younger Ah-nold would bitch slap them all. Then have something kinda cool/kinda cheesy to say about it.

To listen to the lamentations of their women.
This is the best thing!"

You keep bedowngradin' Jack Bauer and he might have to come to your house and ask you a few simple little questions.


Questions that you will very much want to answer.

"I'm gonna need a hacksaw" was probably the best scene of television I've ever seen.

Jack Bauer? You all think Keifer Sutherland looks like a tough guy? Also that Good Will Hunting kid? Yeesh.

Now, the early Sean Connery and early Daniel Craig both look like guys that might be able to take a punch or two.

If you got all those actors (in their prime) together in one room, the only one that would even have the nerve to sit on the same couch with Arnold would be Connery. And then only after he asked permission.

Nah, Bauer looks like everyman. And that was the point; he was this everyday guy who'd waste no time ripping the wires out of a desk lamp and hooking any handy arab looking dude up to a quick Q&A with Mr. Ready Kilowatt. That was the menace he portrayed.

I can get that part. I actually watched the first go-round of that on Netflix before it got too silly. His daughter was sure slutty-looking. Now, Charles Bronson back in the 50s was a pretty tough guy, pound-for-pound, but that is a digression.

This. All the rest of them are fairy boys. Never seen Jack Bauer, Richard whoever and Rapp whatever.

Wait. WTF is this thread about anyhow? TV characters or book characters?

[KantoSooner]

And can't Harry Callahan play? I get that he was kind of skinny and all, but he did carry a little 'equalizer' with him.

[GDC]

John McClane pwns them all.

[Jacie]

James (Daniel Craig) Bond is so tough, he can take a hit to the balls and laugh!

Can those of you with balls say the same?

All the above.

Bauer is TV, Bond is book and movie, Rapp is book, and Bourne is book and movie.
