men in movies stop this fight on sugar

masculine figures and films that exude
the perfect combination of charm
fearlessness and testosterone along with
a healthy dose of muscles and strength
you son of a bitch
also a spoiler alert maybe in order
number 10 Michael J Crocodile Dundee
Crocodile Dundee the measure of a man
isn’t the balance of his bank account
but the length of his knife no
that’s a knife at least it is when we’re
talking about rugged men from Down Under
something which put two dummies in he
growing up in the Australian outback has
left Mick Dundee unconditioned to the
domesticated life of the city and lets
him move through the world unfazed by
most things his uncaring and courageous
demeanor and it vertically attracts the
eyes of various women you’re all right
I’m always all right when I’m with you
Dundee God sounds corny but in Mick’s
world all a man needs is a piece of land
to call his own and a trusty bowie knife
taking down alligators and swooping
engaged women off their feet it’s all
the same for Dundee
[Music]
number nine Snake Plissken Escape from
New York I’m not a full Plissken call me
snake most men would be destroyed after
being betrayed by their own country but
it’s fairly evident that this ex Special
Forces operator is cut from a different
cloth in a war-torn era snake has
adopted a survival instinct which
involves not trusting the government or
any and all law enforcement well you
mean I can’t count on you oh good
after being incarcerated he sought after
for his particular set of skills and
offered a chance to clear his name by
rescuing the president you go in find
the president bring him out in 24 hours
and you’re a free man although still
wary of the government he used to serve
snake accepts the offer and in the
process he proves that you don’t need
both eyes to shoot a gun yeah but I
heard you were dead number 8
Robert Rocky Balboa the rocky franchise
[Music]
fighters are a dime a dozen but a real
champ is born through tragedy and
triumph while less cynical but just as
iconic as Stallone’s
other signature role as Rambo rocky has
served as an inspiration to many people
who faced extreme odds introduced as a
humble man from Philadelphia that’s
employed as the muscle by a vindictive
loan shark you hadn’t time to become a
good fighter and instead of that you
became away with some cheap second-rate
loan shark
rocky is soon transformed into one of
the best pound-for-pound fighters his
sport has ever seen natural talent aside
rocky story is symbolic simply because
of the man’s inability to stay down
which we see time and time again
throughout the film series you me or
nobody is gonna hit as hard as life but
it ain’t about how hard you hit it’s
about how hard you can get hit and keep
moving forward how much you can take and
keep moving forward number seven
Luke Hobbs The Fast and the Furious
franchise what’s the second thing
stay the fuck out of my way if you see
this Diplomatic Security Service agent
flashing his lights behind you it would
be in your best interest to pull over
the Toretto
you’re under arrest in the world of The
Fast and the Furious Luke Hobbs is the
law and he isn’t afraid to bend the
rules once in a while if it means
getting his man I’m telling you shit
I was hoping you’d say that Hobbs
unfailing loyalty and sense of justice
have gotten him far in his career
gaining him respect in the federal world
as well as on the streets on any given
day the agent can be found sporting his
signature Smith & Wesson
hey man which one of these things is a
dollar come about it’s on the house
well we’d advise you to be more scared
of the two guns attached to his
shoulders
number six Indiana Jones the Indiana
Jones franchise
almost every woman fancies a man with a
healthy sense of adventure and no man is
more well-traveled than this treasure
hunter dr. Henry Walton Indiana Jones
jr. considers no risk too great as long
as the reward is worthy as shown by the
fact that he’s battled Nazis traversed
booby-trapped ancient temples and stared
death in the face as a means to his ends
putting aside the adventurers revered
sense of fashion
he also arms himself with a bullwhip
which not only aids him in self-defense
but also in a whole host of versatile
ways putting him in the top percentile
of men that can actually pull off
carrying one number 5 John McClane the
die hard franchise come onto the coast
get together have a few laughs this
hard-boiled American cop is a living
testament to the saying it’s not the
size that matters it’s how you use it
well at least when it comes to guns John
McClane may not exemplify the hyper
macho characteristics of a stereotypical
action movie lead but the characters
strong-willed and often abrasive
behavior put him in a league of his own
you won’t hurt me
why not because you’re a policeman there
are rules for policemen yeah so my
captain keeps telling me it’s a wonder
the detective can manage to stop an
international terrorist group and rescue
a building full of hostages while
suffering through marriage troubles and
a broken family but he most certainly
does
Happy Trails ons plus nobody can rock a
tank top like he can because a mother
number 4 Maximus Decimus Meridius
gladiator at my signal unleash hell in
the arena
a man only has his sword and his word
this gladiator uses both phenomenally
well are you not entertained after
experiencing a tragedy that leaves his
wife and son dead Maximus is forced into
slavery thanks to foul play by the
murdered Emperor’s son Commodus filled
with sorrow and anguish Maximus manages
to expel any notion of defeat from his
mind and solemnly swear ‘he’s revenge on
the man who destroyed his life father to
a murdered son
husband to a murdered wife and I will
have my vengeance in this life or the
next
while naturally a skilled fighter
Maximus as wins are strictly fueled by
his insatiable thirst for justice
regardless of the threat to his own life
and like the big man that he is he
sticks to his values until the very end
my name is gladiator number three Conan
the Barbarian Conan the Barbarian Odin
what is best in life to crush your
enemies see them driven before you and
they had a lamentation of the women if
you’re gonna survive a vicious world
full of mystical beings and evil magic
it better be as hardcore as Arnold
Schwarzenegger much like Schwarzenegger
role as Dutch in predator bleeds we can
kill it
Conan survived a hellish reality thanks
to his sheer physicality and expertise
in combat
having been enslaved for the better half
of his life and trained as a gladiator
Conan uses his freedom to seek vengeance
against bolsa doom and his band of
warriors
what a steal compared to the hand that
wields it fearless in his conquest the
Barbarian earns his revenge by the end
of the film and goes on to live out the
rest of his life as a legend
grant me revenge
and if you do not listen then the hell
with you
number 2 James Bond the James Bond
franchise boom James Bond
what’s a man without class why can’t you
just be a good boy and die you first
well the world’s most famous
international spy has class to spare in
addition to foreign cars beautiful women
cool gadgets and expensive suits
however strip Mr Bond of all this and
what do we have a man of extreme
competence and prowess who keeps his
head about him even in the diarist of
circumstances sorry
I’ll shoot the camera first next time or
yourself saving the world from an evil
terrorist threat may have been done
before but never has a man done it with
as much refinement as James Bond
7:8 you all right before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions you will get your number be
brief I’m looking for a transporter
listen yes
time to nut up or shut up fill your hand
you son of a bitch hey where the hell
you going Cher
to get laid where the hell you going
number one the man with no name the
dollars trilogy you know you got a face
beautiful enough to be worth $2,000 yeah
but you don’t look like the one who
collected he comes he delivers some cold
hard justice he leaves Clint Eastwood’s
other iconic role as Dirty Harry not
only shares this way of living but also
prefers to say what’s on his mind with a
revolver being this is a 44 magnum the
most powerful handgun in the world and
would blow your head clean off you’ve
got to ask yourself one question do I
feel lucky
well do your bunker however the lone
wanderer is a complete enigma to most
and while he may be known by many names
no one actually knows the Cowboys true
one he is the strong and silent type and
it’s the element of mystery that
surrounds the character that makes him
so alluring to both men and women mmm it
three coffins ready so while we may know
nothing about the man with no names
history there’s just no resisting the
flawed but tough antihero with his own
code of justice

think is the manliest man of the movies
mother fucka for more macho top 10s
