Overall, Sephiroth is the biggest badass IMO.

Honorable mention goes to Michael Corleone, for being the biggest badass without any super human powers...

What is this limited to? You may want to try the VG thread.

That's the thing though, it is not limited. It can be from a book, a VG, a movie, anything except those coming from one's self-imagination...

corleone is a pansy.

Luca is an O.G.!

Zorro, Tony Montana, and Darth Vader are certainly up there!

Tom Cruise's character in Collateral.

Ghengis Kahn, Atilla the Hun and King Hannibal beat all those panzy mobsters

Spock is teh most badass by far.

I remove Tony Montna, because I've seen him too many time sin "non-descript" bars here. Look, I'm all for gangster movies, but I want some class with mine. So, take the peasant class mobster movies like Goodfellas and Scarface with you to jail. I prefer Godfather to that shit. Where they didn't hide from the police, rather they owned them.

And are we talking Darth Vader, original trilogy? Or post-middle-age-spread George Lucas, I just adopted a bunch of kids who like Disney movies, "I know everything except when to realize I'm talking out my ass" George Lucas?

Original Vader, oh yeah.

Hayden Christiensen Vader, no thanks.

Unlike The Godfather, Good Fellas is a true story. So I don't what you're talking about when you say "peasant class mobster movies".

Does "Joker" qualify as badass?

The Punisher

Chopper!

C'mon.
The Devil.
Everyone else is a pale reflection...

...though God has had some pretty badass moments.

a 'true story'? there is no such thing as a true story in hollywood. besides, godfather is loosely based on a patchwork of true stories. for example johnny fontain shares a very similar background with frank sinatra.

Remember the time when he flooded the planet for like 40 years?

Yeah, when God's pissed, get stock in life rafts.

And lots of animals.

Marcellus Wallace of Pulp Fiction, Jules from the same movie.

Agent Smith, maybe.

Jules is amazing.

"Well I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' mother****er, mother****er!"

Yeah ok, Jules might beat Atilla the Hun.

I am going to have to go for Bernardo Provenzano known as Bernie the Tractor. You cant get any worse than a Mafia boss who mowed his enemies like a tractor in countless of bloodbaths, blew up 2 prosecutors and killed a child by melting him in Acid.

I love to see him in a shootout against Agent 47 from the Hitman video game series.

^ Probly my favorite vg character of all time.

What I mean, is that so many mobseter movies are grungy...is that a good word? I don't really know what I mean, but there's a cleaner, classier feel to The Godfather. In Goodfellas, the gangsters are crass and needlessly violent. There's just a class to The Godfather that's lacking in Goodfellas.

If there is indeed a "cleaner, classier feel" to The Godfather, then I just don't see it. It and Good Fellas both have plenty of moments where some one gets whacked, and I just don't see whats so classy about a real severed horse head.

Ah, but that's just it! Severed horse heads are much classier than shooting a guy for telling you to go **** yourself, after you shot him in the foot for no reason. The hollywood producer didn't die, but got the mesage. Classier, all the way. Maybe not cleaner, but classier.

As I said in my last post, I can't really define it in words, but through interpretation. The Godfather is a different time and appeal than is Goodfellas. Maybe it's the fact that one has an original score and the other backdrops all the action with songs from the 70's? I dunno. But, in my opinion, one is superior to the other. And, I'm not dismissing Scarface because of the latino aspect. I just know I've seen it on repeat in a number of gin joints around San Francisco...and it doesn't do anything for me. As soon as Al Pachino started yelling all the time, it was over for me.

That was a very realistic portrayal of Tommy DeSimone (Joe Pesche's character). DeSimone had a volatile temper and wouldn't hesitate to kill any one little provocation. Shooting some one in the foot is a good way to send them a message like 'Don't f*ck with me', but that kid didn't learn which is why he got capped.

Yes, it was pretty messed up, but that's exactly the kind of person Tommy DeSimone was. And Scorsese wanted to depict it.

Exactly. Godfather didn't do such shit.

i think the needless violence of casino beats goodfellas.
when pesci pops the guy's eye when his heads in a vice,
or that brutal baseball bat beating at the end when they
bury him alive....

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother...
