we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 actors who always save the day
well that’s the real trick isn’t it and
it’s gonna cost you something extra for
this list we’ll be looking at actors who
save the day in multiple movies or
franchises so much so that you know
they’ll most likely win the day the
moment you see them on screen pilgrim
look at the cock it hurts I forgot
please be advised that this video will
contain some spoilers what do you mean
the specter of defeat let your luck was
due to change we’re soon find out number
10 Milla Jovovich missing
as she jumped kicked zombies in a
cocktail dress as Alice in the Resident
Evil series miele cemented her position
as one of the greatest action heroines
of cinema you might win the battle but
you lose the war v she’s always poised
and graceful but absolutely ruthless
when duty calls I mean I know she’s
human a successful supermodel who
parlayed her presence in front of a
camera to a successful film career yofa
vich has since been labelled the
reigning queen of kick butt by vh1 they
can do 50 fires whether she’s fighting a
deadly virus
cutting through vampires or saving the
entire planet from imminent destruction
she always knows how to kick butt
without ever smudging her makeup
actually scratch that she’s a badass
regardless of her gender
number nine John Wayne wants the Duke is
the iconic tough rugged Western hero
armed with a gun a horse and a cowboy
hat
he fights outlaws corrupt officers and
Native American warriors not to mention
he rescues pretty ranch girls we’re
looking for a girl white girl captive
his performance as one-eyed hard boiled
former US marshal Rooster Cogburn and
True Grit even won him an Oscar
I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat
man bury your head you son of a bitch an
American icon of strength and
masculinity for the better part of 30
years you know if Wayne ain’t is cool
and distinct voice at you you were in
for trouble as the poster for Rio Lobo
said give them hell John sounds like
good advice number 8 Douglas Fairbanks
it’s not for nothing that they called
him the king of Hollywood his
swashbuckling skills were best
demonstrated when he stole from the rich
to feed the poor
defended commoners against tyrannical
Lords or protected the King of France
from corrupt noblemen
but regardless Douglas Fairbanks was
always ready to save the day with a
Grace and jawanda beef that helped
define our idea of the Action Hero
it’s particularly impressive because he
did so not only in black and white but
also in complete silence
number seven Harrison Ford you ever get
the feeling that this guy just doesn’t
give a rat’s ass I ain’t in this for
your revolution and I’m not in it for
you princess well he does he just
doesn’t want you to know that and that’s
what makes him the ultimate tough guy
in fact with his laid-back attitude and
cocky lines
Harrison Ford could probably take down
evil thuggy priests or the Galactic
Empire based on his swagger alone kid
I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy
to the other I’ve seen a lot of strange
stuff but I’ve never seen anything to
make me believe there’s one all-powerful
force controlling everything but between
beating up Nazis blasting stormtroopers
shoving terrorists out of his plane or
fighting aliens he is always ready to
kick ass and take names he can even
teach us how to save the day to hokey
religions and ancient weapons were no
match for a good blaster inside
number six Sean Connery
this legendary actor has found himself
stopping evil and all-out devastation
countless times these scenarios have
included having to face down a false god
keeping a meteor away from the planet
barring the Nazis from learning the
secret of eternal life
stopping Professor Moriarty I doubt if
you measure danger the way I do
preventing a chemical attack and notably
fighting terrorists relentlessly as
agent double-oh-seven
well seems tough and difficult no it
doesn’t decision Connery certainly knows
how to save the day with style with the
exception maybe of Zardoz that’s a
strange one no matter how you look at it
I love funny I love the moment of their
death when I am one with Zardoz number
five Keanu Reeves I have to go there
it came to safety even when he’s not
defying gravity dressed in floor-length
leather
Keanu Reeves manages to save the day an
awful lot this planet is dying the human
race is killing it
environmental crises or even Satan
himself are no match for the great Keanu
as he plays his roles with a reserve and
grace that is undeniably cool you didn’t
leave me didn’t have anywhere to be just
an though he’s been criticized for his
acting skills in his more dramatic or
romantic roles no one is questioning his
ability to come to humanity’s rescue
he saved the world so many times
sometimes we suspect he really is the
chosen one
number four Arnold Schwarzenegger they
yeah I’ll be back
Arnie is the king of collateral damage
but that’s all part of the business of
saving the day which he does with brute
strength and tons of yelling you want
the good man
you think you know bad huh you’re quiet
boy compared to me and he’s done it all
from saving the future as a reprogrammed
terminator
to fighting the devil to taking on an
evil cult as Conan the Barbarian clearly
managed to stopping terrorists to going
against an army of clones just did no
matter what crazy scenario he faces
Arnie brings down the villains with
countless unforgettable one-liners in an
action-packed thrill ride with a high
body count never killed anyone
yeah but they were all bad number three
Will Smith yes sure he’s made his way
through action drama comedy and sci-fi
movies always ready to kick ass and
leave behind a trail of dead enemies
earth seriously in over half of his
movies he saves all of humanity and in
most of the other half he ends up saving
at least one or two people
but I must apply the memo with his
charismatic quippy heroics he makes
every film undeniably epic I make this
look good but he plays his characters
with a depth of emotion it isn’t just
about shooting guns and killing aliens
he certainly is a legend
number two Bruce Willis Bruce is the
ultimate tough-as-nails good guy with a
smartass attitude and a filthy mouth he
may be helping Milla Jovovich save the
planet
traveling through time or dealing with
asteroids but he’s always ready with a
wisecrack and the appropriate weapon
good thing for me it’s not loaded and
that’s not even counting his role as
John McClane no matter what situation he
finds himself in Willis will save the
day even when the odds are stacked to
the sky against him and he isn’t wearing
shoes better minicard your pants down
there before we unveil our number one
hick here are some honorable mentions
what did your needs in order to evolve
is a human quality
our capacity leap beyond logic
what made to you so special nothing I’m
just a kid from Brooklyn I for one am
NOT gonna stand by and watch as Ronan
wipes out billions of innocent lives why
are you here there must be a reason for
you to be here yes I’m here to fight for
truth and justice in the American Way
number one Tom Cruise I can understand
you’re very upset
Kittridge you’ve never seen me very
upset Cruz is the epitome of the cocky
action hero smooth and smart and an
undeniable fat-ass I’ve been trained to
dismantle a bomb in a pitch black that’s
nothing but a safety pin and a junior
man I think I get you in that as close
without
whether he’s infiltrating the CIA
headquarters suspended on a wire
charging samurai warriors on a horse
riding on the roof of a speeding car
battling aliens or battling aliens again
Tom Cruise is just saving the day left
right and center no matter how
impossible the mission and you really
think we can do this we have no doubt he
can pull it off we’re going to do it do
