Bullz-Eye’s Badass Bracket: Round 2
Who is the biggest badass in entertainment history? We split the 32 contestants into two brackets and seeded each bracket 1-16. Now, it’s on you. Each week, we’ll open up different portions of the bracket for voting, with the winner of each matchup moving on to the next round until we’ve crowned a badass champion.
The lone female entry in Round One fared poorly, but the two women in Round Two have a lust for revenge. Ellen Ripley, scourge of all things alien, does battle with the Sexy Beast (Don Logan), while everyone’s favorite vampire slayer Buffy Summers is up against…a man in a bat suit. How fitting.
In our “I Love the ’70s” matchup, John Shaft goes mano a mano with Lee (”Enter the Dragon”), and the Old West is represented by badasses both good (Rooster Cogburn) and evil (Al Swearengen). The ultimate battle of good versus evil, however, features Tony “Scarface” Montana taking on the man who gave baby Jesus the gift of beard: Cordell Walker, Texas Ranger. There is also dueling mobsters, dueling gun nuts, and dueling psychos. Get your freak on.
Check out our full bracket to follow along, or just click on any one of the match-ups below and vote for your favorite badass:
(#1) Dirty Harry vs. (#16) Travis Bickle
(#2) Ellen Ripley vs. (#15) Don Logan
(#3) John Rambo vs. (#14) Tommy DeVito
(#4) Cord Walker vs. (#13) Tony Montana
(#5) Jules Winnfield vs. (#12) Keyser Soze
(#6) Rooster Cogburn vs. (#11) Al Swearengen
(#7) Lee vs. (#10) John Shaft
(#8) Batman vs. (#9) Buffy Summers
Not surprised Tony Montana is doing so well. Chuck Norris drew a tough matchup, just like Jack Bauer in round 1.
wtf?!?! come on guys… Batman lose to Buffy?!?!? thats the most ridiculous thing i’ve heard since women’s logic… honestly now…
Who the hell assigned the seeds? Keyser Sose and Jules Winnfield should be the top seeds. Instead, they meet in the first round? This is crazy…
See, you think Keyser Soze should be the top seed, and he’d probably get slaughtered by at least half the bracket.
We all have favorites, but few of us have the same favorites. In hindsight, we absolutely underestimated Indiana Jones — a professor who’s afraid of snakes and hunts down antiquities? — but seeding these (and, for that matter, even just choosing the 32 candidates) in a way that appeals to everyone’s tastes and opinions is impossible.
I love Keyser Soze (I’ve voted for him everyday vs. Jules) but in a lot of people’s minds, he doesn’t even belong in the bracket.
I’m surprised Buffy and Batman squared off against each other. Both should have ranked higher, and both deserve to advance to the next round.
Batman is my homeboy, but I’ve got to extend some love to Buffy, who’s willing to slay not just vampires, but demented Gods, her best friend, Evil itself, the love of her life, a mayor, etc…
I can’t believe you’re using a movie image for Batman. You’ve got caricatures of Dirty Harry and Travis Bickle, but you don’t use COMIC BOOK art for Batman. I mean, come on guys. Oh yeah, Batman ALWAYS has a contingency plan. There is no way on God’s green and verdant earth that Buffy beats him.
It’s movies and TV characters, Joe Blow, not comic book characters.
Why they put some noobs in the competition instead of the good fighters? Where is Blade? Where is Riddick? Where is Wolverine? Where is Angel? Why didn’t they take THEM in the competition?
The competitors had to be human. So no vampires, no aliens, no mutants. The only reason Buffy even made the cut is because she actually works out constantly. She might be The Chosen One, but, clearly, she has to practice to be up to snuff.
Ah ok! They should have taken Predator-Arnie instead of Conan
Are you fucking kidding me? Jules wouldn’t stand a chance against Keyser Soze. This is a man that killed his own family. Not because he wanted to, to show the Hungarian Mob how tough he was. To show the mob he couldn’t be intimidated. All you assholes who voted for Jules are morons. If anyone knew anything about these brackets, it would end up Keyser Vs. Hannibal. It’s not who the best fighter is, it’s the biggest badass, and nobody is worse then those 2 sick, twisted fucks! End of story!
