Who did I missed?
Idris Elba
>>84592085
In what movie?
Russell?
Steven Seagal
>>84591892
Snake
This little guy
>>84591892
Van Damme
Seagal
Also, Chuck Norris always sucked.
>>84591892
Probably >>84592137. But you could also throw in Van Damme, too.
arnold and stallone are in a class of their own, then there's a bunch on the next tier
Schwarzenegger and Stallone are by themselves at the top of the mountain.
Norris, Seagal and Van Damme are fighting for scraps at the kiddy table.
>>84592305
>>84592309
was thinking Van Damme as well
Van Damme & Sea Gull.
JCVD
>>84591892
Bruce Willis

Van Damme in what movie?
Steven Seagal in what movie?
>>84592288
My name is Plissken.
>>84591892
Norris made shit tier schlock for Golan Globus. Even Seagal and Van Damme made more prestigious flicks. Chuck's on the same level as Dolph Lundgren.
At least he's not at the bottom with Brian Bosworth and Hulk Hogan.
>>84592557
>Chuck's on the same level as Dolph Lundgren.
Dolph is a god amongst men. He just never got the chance he deserved.
Hey guise, remember me?
>>84592137
This. Soldier is better than it had any right to be.
>>84592603
He had his chances in mainstream stuff like Rocky IV and Universal Soldier.
>>84592735
>>84591892
>>84593562
Both movies he played a mono-toned robot than an actual character that could launch him. Maybe he's just lazy.
>>84592603
Dolph might be the worst actor among all of them, and that's saying something.
Maybe Bruce Willis
Also Chuck Norris is a meme who doesnt deserve to be on the same stage as Arnie and Stalone
>>84593627
Chuck is seriously awful. Go back and watch the movies without nostalgia goggles and see how bad he is.
Jean Claude Van Damme
Cruise
Remember that time they tried to make Charlie Sheen an action star? This one was actually pretty good.
>>84592468
This but he is level 2, down from Stallone and arn
>>84593592
He sounds like that in every movie, which is exactly why he isn't a big star.
>>84593773
The Dwayne is a fucking joke. I can't believe Arnie passed the torch to him in The Rundown.
>>84593679
No Code of Conduct isn't too bad either
>>84593900
Well nobody is making classic action movies anymore. Look at all the shit Arnold himself has been in lately.
>>84593926
Audience didn't liked your kino:

>>84594003
Where did it go so wrong for him?
>>84593926
The Rookie (1990) may be one of Clint Eastwood's low-income flicks, but that car chase sequence was based.
>>84594108
*low-tier
Damn autocorrect.
>>84591892
Clearly Van Damme. And as others have been said, Norris should be replaced with either Seagal or Lundgren.
>tfw Van Damme's daughter is /fit/ as hell and can also do the split
>>84593679
Yeah, I also expected much worse when I said a few years ago. I especially liked that it wasn't cheesy despite the topic.
>>84594153
Seagal does not deserve a place.
>>84594209

>>84593679
It's got Zodiac Motherfucker's NOT OPTIONAL seal of approval.
>>84592493
Van damn in Universal Soldier
>>84594209
Let's be honest, both doing the same crap for decades. What Lundgren certainly has above Seagal is Rocky, Universal Soldier and maybe Expandables, but that doesn't mean his acting skills wouldn't be similarly jackshit.
Also, Seagal has much more straight-to-DVD stuff (and Lawman was one of the most ridiculous TV show I've ever seen) while it seems Lundgren is at least trying to broaden his horizon a little bit in the past few years.
So I can be convinced that the Swedish guy deserves to be there from the two, even if ultimately, I still don't feel that much of a difference between them.
>>84594786
Seagal was a pretty big deal in the early 90s. I legitimately like Under Siege 1&2. Dolph hasn't made a single good movie where he was the headliner. Dolph has never been a big deal and it's laughable to put him above or on the same tier as Seagal.
>>84591892
Van Damme then Steven Seagal
>>84593643
Bruce Willis only did Die Hard, they tried turning him into an adventure (not action) star afterward ie: Hudson Hawk
During that era he was still mostly riding the Moon Lighting wave
The DEFINITIVE 80s/90s Action Star Tiers:
>1 - Arnold Schwarzenegger & Sylvester Stallone
>2 - Bruce Willis & Kurt Russell
>3 - Steven Seagal & JCVD
>4 - Chuck Norris & Dolph Lundgren
>5 - Brian Bosworth & Michael Dudikoff
This cannot be denied.
You guys looking for trouble?
I don't want any, just passing by.
>>84597110
This thread is about action stars, not martial artists.
>no mel gibson
Plebs
>>84597198
I love Mel, but I don't consider him a Seagal-type action star.
>>84597054
>2. - Bruce Willis & Kurt Russell
These were adventure/drama/do whatever stars. Action wasn't their forte. Adventure would be a toned down, hijinks "family" version of an action movie. Like a treasure themed movie for instance, you know like Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, Tomb Raider and so on
They aren't action stars, they don't qualify as bad asses
>>84594103
when he banged his ugly ass maid instead of the literally millions of cardio bunnies that would've let him terminate their asses
>>84597366
While I agree that Kurt probably doesn't belong, the first 3 Die Hards and the Last Boy Scout are pretty hard R actioners. Bruce belongs.
Arnie and Stallone tried to branch out into comedy and drama many times.
>>84594103
Bottom one looks like fucking Kano.
Kurt Russel, Bruce Willis, Jean Claude Van Damme, etc.
>>84594103
His movies started getting shittier and shittier after 2000
