Bullz-Eye’s Badass Bracket: Round 1
Who is the biggest badass in entertainment history? It’s the kind of hypothetical that could keep a group of guys up until the wee hours of the morning, with plenty of booze fueling the debate, of course. Regrettably, Bullz-Eye’s Badass Bracket is a BYOB affair, but don’t let that distract you from the task at hand.
After several phone and email conversations comparing the credentials of this sadistic freak with that lovable villain, we settled on a group of 32 entertainment tough guys (and gals) who’ve spilled way more than their fair share of fake blood. Some walk the righteous path, some walk the wicked, and some travel both, but they’re all worthy entrants in the Badass Bracket.
The first round of the competition features some marquee matchups right out of the gate. Follow along with our bracket, or click on one of the links below to vote for your favorite character:
(#1) Jack Bauer vs. (#16) Indiana Jones
(#2) Maximus vs. (#15) James Dalton
(#3) Hannibal Lecter vs. (#14) Snake Plissken
(#4) John McClane vs. (#13) Tyler Durden
(#5) The Bride vs. (#12) James Bond
(#6) Conan vs. (#11) Casey Ryback
(#7) Sonny Corleone vs. (#10) Tony Soprano
(#8) Ash Williams vs. (#9) Doc Holliday
Potential HUGE upset, as Indy is leading Jack Bauer. Maybe it’s because 24 blows this season
Aside from the potential Indy/Bauer upset, I’m surprised that The Bride is getting so thoroughly beaten by James Bond, and that Tony Soprano isn’t faring better against Sonny Corleone. I also thought Tyler Durden had a better shot against John McClane.
I’m rooting hard for Doc against Ash. That’s a tight one!
I’m still rooting for a last minute upset in either the Conan / Ryback match-up or, God help me, even the Maximum / Dalton battle. I’m telling you, if the fans of Kevin Smith’s “Road House” commentary find out about this, there’s gonna be a swing in the voting…
Dalton is toast, as he should be
Maximus will likely make it far.
I’m a fan of Casey Ryback as well, but I knew he was doomed as soon as he was slotted to face Arnold.
Doc and Ash is a great battle.
The real fight is when it gets down to Indy(who should win, think about it. he is the greatest badass) Maximus, John McClaine, Rambo, Bond and Conan. Batman should make it far but I kinda have a feeling he’ll lose to Conan or something.
I like the way its falling but who seeded this thing, Indy as a 16, Tony Montana as a 13, Tommy DeVito as a 14. I mean come on. But it does give the promise for some big upsets but that Walker vs. Montana matchup will be the closest.
Yeah - Walker vs Montana should be a good one. I’m going out on a limb and picking Montana in a squeaker!
