like they used to
boy sure is raining cats and dogs
welcome to watchmojo.com is here the
harvey bugs who wants you to know and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 kurt russell performances
captain ron for this list we’re taking a
look at those performances that show off
this actor at its finest and/or most
memorable i can’t believe she doesn’t
know her own husband
number 10 jeff taylor breakdown our car
broke down
he stopped offered to help took my wife
to a payphone which she never showed up
you’re better husbands and fathers labor
under the belief that when bad things go
down they will rise to the occasion and
protect their wife and family
oh man should you believe this so when
breakdowns jeff taylor and his wife fall
victim to a kidnapping ring that’s
threatening to kill her if he doesn’t
pay them ninety thousand dollars thirty
thousand ninety thousand dollars many of
us feel his pain it’s not what I want
it’s what you want
how bad you want it as it is gonna cost
you that anguish turns Jeff into a
vengeful man that will see to it that
justice is done and those who mistreated
the woman he loves pay for it you say
nothing but goddamn singles my son
in with a captivating Kurt Russell in
this action-packed role
we’re riveted every step of the way
number nine lieutenant Gabriel cash
tango and cash all right
this is lesson number one and believe me
the next lessons do get harder who hired
you to kill me one half of a duo of cops
that seems to be patterned after the odd
couple rustles cash and his rival
Sylvester Stallone’s tango
you know man yeah you’re you’re the
second best cop in LA that’s funny I had
the same thing about you go from cops to
criminals overnight when they’re set up
and sent to prison
I don’t think rehabilitations worked in
here do you the close proximity
chemistry and charm of the film’s two
leads allow them to play off each other
in hilarious fashion you know Potatohead
you just fell for the oldest routine in
the book bad cop worse cop
Russell is obviously having a ball with
every line and interaction and although
tango and cash was only a moderate
success at the box office
detective cash assaulted me you put a
chair in my chest and sat on it I
couldn’t find a piano fans today are
slowly coming to appreciate Russell and
Stallone’s effort more and more oh wait
a minute why is yours bigger than mine
should it be number eight Elvis Presley
Elvis
actually beginning his film career at
age 11 alongside Elvis Presley and it
happened at the World’s Fair ah good boy
Oh next Kurt Russell crossed paths with
the king again in 1979 and became a
movie star
as a result Russell’s last ever TV
project and his first ever collaboration
with John Carpenter do I try this one
Hey
yes sir all set good shot this TV movie
originally aired against both Gone with
the Wind and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest and beat them both handily in the
ratings thanks in large part to
Russell’s star making and Emmy nominated
performance Bonnie is she okay mama I’ve
been meaning to write to her more but I
I just been so busy with the concerts
and all you know the multi-layered way
he brought the musician to life grabs
hold of audiences allowing Elvis to
transcend its status as a made-for-tv
movie and become a much-loved biopic
sometimes too scared to even think about
it just seems like I’ve been away so
long just completely cut off I think
sometimes maybe it’s just a dream and
I’ll be going back home to some to shag
him to whom number seven her Brooks
miracle if we play them ten times they
might win nine but not this game not
tonight
inspirational quotes are a dime a dozen
in Hollywood movies especially sports
flicks and that’s why it takes an
accomplished actor to stand out and
really deliver the goods this is your
time now go out there and take it
our man Kirk plays coach Herb Brooks the
man that led the American Olympic hockey
team to gold at the 1980 Winter Olympics
one step towards that goal was a win
over the seemingly undefeatable Russians
no one has ever worked hard enough to
skate with the Soviet team for an entire
game
gentlemen we are gonna work hard enough
while some nations could beat the
Russkies through skill alone Russell’s
her Brooks could inspire damn near
anyone to overcome such impossible odds
looking for the best blitzkrieg and
looking for the right ones harsh but
humane curve is a man’s man and
untouchable in the pantheon of sports
movie coaches when you pull on that
jersey you represent yourself and your
teammates and a name on the front is a
hell of a lot more important than the
one on the back number six
lieutenant Stephen bull McCaffrey
backdraft it’s not like a bad days
happens you have a bad day here somebody
dies the eldest son of a fallen and
famed firefighting hero Russell also
plays bull is tough on everybody he
comes across especially himself it’s not
about being a hero
and in because it was a kid up there
unlike most of Russell’s rolls bull was
never meant to be likable I told you to
spit right beside mate Brian and for an
actor who asked charm radiating off him
to dial it back and remain believable is
truly impressive the saving a mannequin
I mean how stupid can a guy get going
that bull is not a good guy but he’s not
really trying to be and Russell’s
performance stands out alongside the
impressive Academy Award nominated
effects the true test of an actor’s
mettle if ever there was one
number five stuntman Mike McKay
Deathproof
so what’s your name I see stuntman Mike
in this Quentin Tarantino directed half
of the double feature grindhouse Russell
plays against type as a murderous driver
who uses his car as a weapon do I find
you
is it my scar to car and the glee we see
on his face when he thinks a victim has
fallen into his trap is unlike anything
we’ve seen him do to that point ladies
that was fun
Russell wasn’t the first star to come
back to film in a big way under
Tarantino but he used this exploitation
vehicle to remind modern audiences what
a badass he could be except I’m afraid I
must file you under and
after watching this film we were left
wishing that he tried his hand at evil
especially charming evil more often in
the past
cuz he’s just that damn good at it this
car is I’m on a % death Proof
Oh way to get the benefit of it honey
my seat number for Wyatt Earp
tombstone you die first get it your
friends might get me in a rush but not
before I make your head into a canoe you
understand me starring his Wyatt Earp
the famed gambler and lawman who stood
up to a renegade pack of cowboys and
showed a blatant disregard for Billy Bob
Thornton I’m real scared
damn right you’re scared Russel plays an
intellectual but reluctant hero who is
as quick with his wits as he is with his
six gun yeah yeah that’s real good law
dog cause law just don’t go around here
yeah I heard you the first time winner
to the king $500 a romantic who wants
more from life and a loyal friend to Val
Kilmer’s Doc Holliday in fact you’re
probably seeing sample I have to gums
one for each of y’all
Russell’s earth is not a man you’d want
to be on the wrong side of no matter how
much Charlie uses you Tom I’m coming and
hell’s coming with me you hear number
three Jack Burton Big Trouble in Little
China wait a minute wait a minute I’m a
reasonable guy but I’ve just experienced
some very unreasonable things Jack
Burton is a truck driver who finds
himself roped into saving a damsel in
distress in an underworld located
beneath Chinatown and one that’s
populated by strange magic come up below
what huh what’ll come out no more Jack
Burton may also be the best example of
Kurt Russell’s comedic timing
teaming up again with director John
Carpenter Russell plays Jack as a man
completely out of his depth but never
letting us see him sweat
do you have a gun I hope have a nice
night this guy’s 12 feet tall 7 hey
don’t worry I can handle it in an almost
cartoonishly exciting action film
Russell ensures there’s nothing not to
love about the character cool Jack
Burton me regardless of what the box
office returns says well Jack always
says what the hell number two Snake
Plissken Escape from New York
I guess I go in one way or the other
performed with a snarl and a smirk Snake
Plissken may not be our number one
choice but he easily could have been and
as a character that immediately comes to
mind when you think of Kurt Russell did
you remember me yeah man should remember
his past sporting his signature eye
patch and unamused look on his face
snake does resurface in 1996 his escape
from LA which one of you assholes gets
to die trying to stick me but it was his
initial struggle that won our hearts
playing this former war hero turned
criminal Russell perfectly straddles the
line between good and bad while managing
to remain likable and memorable snake
will always be the man even if you’d
heard he was dead yeah but I heard you
were dead before we reveal our top pick
here are some honorable mentions
huh time to go to work baby let’s do it
solo
it’s not him
oh we’re just talking
and tonight’s Wednesday night and hi go
to Black Angus for dinner with my two
daughters on Wednesday night so I’ll
have to leave soon you do understand
that our time is limited
don’t you number one
RJ McCready the thing favorite is they
burn it up hurry there are few films
that have ever been able to create so
much tension and the credit for that
should be shared by director John
Carpenter and the film star Kurt Russell
alright doc Gary and Clark move over
there away from the others the de facto
leader of a group of isolated men who
are under attack by an alien being that
can perfectly assimilate into their
group this thing doesn’t want to show
itself it wants to hide inside an
imitation Russell doesn’t steal any
scenes or showboat in any way there
should be somebody a little more
even-tempered child instead choosing to
let things breathe
it’s his steady hand that allows the
fear to continue to build from beginning
to end which is what makes the film such
a masterpiece why don’t we just
wait here for a little while do you
agree with our list so on the reflexes
what’s your favorite Kurt Russell
