Does it really matter? It wouldn't hurt anyone to have a television character in here every now and then. His visual feats are in no different shape or form than McClane's.

Yeah...it's kind of...paramount to this the versus forum rules, really.

McClane wouldn't stand a chance. Bauer's tanked shit that makes the beatings McClane's tanked look like the aftermath of a pillow fight and he is the very definition of ruthless efficiency. Unless we are taking the bullshit McClane luck factor into effect (although Bauer pretty much has that same luck factor).

This guys seems unbiased.

I am a fan of both Die Hard and 24, and thus can compare the ehroes very accurately. That Jack Bauer Kill Count video does not nearly do him justice. His idea of improvising an escape from FBI Headquarters in Washington D.C was to hotwire a car and drive it off of the third story of the parking garage, while under the wheel pushing down on the accelerator

About 3 hours after enduring torture from the Chinese for two years( without saying a single word that entire 2 years out of sheer willpower; contrasted with the other person who was tortured by the Chinese for a couple of hours, Audrey Raines, who went into a catatonic state), he escaped the compound of the terrorist who wanted him to personally execute him by (he is tied in a chair) removing the EKG cord from his neck, causing his EKG to flat line. When the mook who is watching him goes to check on it, Jack bites his throat out, and immediately arms himself and gets back in action. Mere hours after 2 YEARS of torture. Really, Jack is like an urban Rambo. He single-handedly takes out groups of terrorists in gunfights like they are nothing. When he is determined to do something, THAT SHIT GETS DONE.

I'm sorry, I was inaccurate. it was 20 months of torture, not 2 years. also, Audrey was imprisoned for roughly a year, but his feats still stand.

Ahahahahahaa gold.

Umm not bullshit though, is it...? Screen feats, baby. 🙂

Thought that might draw a laugh from the king of the OTHER factor at play here: McButthurt.

Some scars never heal, eh?

Especially McScars. 🙂

Watch 24, buddy boy, the feats are there

I've not seen one episode of 24, ever.

Typical form then that the guy who says that would feel qualified to debate the subject at all.

YouTube video

If this vid is a testament to Jack's high end feats, he rapes McClane, prison style.

I only started watching the show a few months ago, and you can see how big of a fan I am. It is an action acfiancdo's wet dream, even more so than the expendables. Basically every positive, exciting action film trope all crammed together in one hour. The entire feel of the show itself makes it feel like a film. EVERY moment has you on the edge of your seat, both due to the tension of the plot and the perpetual moments of the viewer going "Holy Shit!!" at the audacious opportunism of Jack.

If you are interested, just start here and if pleased, continue here

Here at 39:50-42:00 his the aforementioned "Escape from FBI headquarters"feat (starting at 41:26 is him driving off the roof)

Totally.

I've seen every ep of 24, working on my 2nd time thru the series.

It's good.

😛 to all of you

Note that I let my fanboyism get the best of me because both McClane and Jack have a certain luck factor to them, but Jack has skill with that, and he would win

But I guess that doesn't matter anyway, since, as Sadako said. this fight isn't valid. Yet another reason we should have an all-medium-v.s forum 🙁

Rape.

Did Bauer ever "luck" down an F-35?

He lucked down a nuke.
