Ask Madden

yo yo....i just watched Rambo(the latest) and it was a total bad ass movie. I found my self many times whispering "wow that was bad ass". So it got me thinking as to what makes up the bad assery of a character, because i was thinking what movies/characters were bad ass.

to be bad ass i think there needs to be minimal talking, maximum ass kicking. if a character talks to much it takes away from his bad assery. also, he needs to not have a lot of inflection in his voice..no screaming, whining, etc. everything needs to stay pretty calm. it also helps when a character is severely underestimated. there is nothing more bad ass than thinking some guy is a punk ass and then he totally stabs you and you die. however being totally feared to the point where you cry looking at him is awesome too. the best is to be underestimated, then totally feared right after. that is the best form of bad ass. hand to hand combat that ends in bloody death is also real bad ass.

i'll list off the top of my head some characters/movies that are bad ass

Terminator
Rambo
John McClane
Casey Riback
Eraser
Vin Diesel (in Knockaround guys)
A bronx tale
Jean Claude Van Damme (Bloodsport)
Darth Vader
William Wallace
The Boondock Saints
Sam Jackson(Pulp Fiction)
The Punisher
