Toughest Man...?

Gus (Duvall) from Lonesome Dove, with his Walker Colt and Winchester. Tougher than dirt, knew when to fight and when to run, and even though an old man...no one messed with him.
 
I guess technically not a man...

1) Jason Statham. Read an article on him in Mens Health, the guy is a machine! Constantly working to improve his body to run faster, jump higher, and hit harder. He'd be a real threat in MMA. Close second is Jet Li. A real Martial Arts Master. I'm not a fan of "Hollywood" muscle like "Ah-nuld" or "Rocky".

2) Torn between two previous posts, Detectives pistol in 'Roger Rabbit' and "Good Samaritan" from 'Hellboy' lol
 
I'm a John Wayne vote. Probably second Audie Murphy. Maybe they're tied. I never cared for Audie's movies, but his real life exploits were heroic enough that they get him on ANY tough guy list WAY up at the top. But, if you have to restrict it to movies I'd have to say Wayne's characters were better and tougher, and they always set a real good example to live by.

He still made movies and did his own stunts well into his 2nd bought with cancer in his 70s, you know the one that killed him after his last movie about an aging gunfighter dying of cancer called The Shootist. If you don't think simply making that movie in that situation is tough you have no right judging the contest. Heck reading that script all the way through had to be tough as hell, and he went on to make the movie. Granted I've strayed from physical toughness into emotional toughness, but the 2 are inextricably linked. You simply can't have one with out the other, and especially in his later years he had both in spades!
 
Nathan Fillion-"Serenity","Firefly"....loved the way he responded to the Operative telling him he had come unarmed.....another vote for "Faster",and as a wild card,"the Big Sleep"-Robert Mitchum"...or maybe Lee Marvin in "Prime Cut" and "The Dirty Dozen"......
 
By far, Patrick Swayze in Red Dawn (Colt Single Action Army)

Clint Eastwood in Bloodwork (custom .357 magnum)

Harrison Ford in Blade Runner
 
DH, when he had the auto 44 mag express in one of the last Dirty Harry's as far as handguns. Segal is an excellent shooter and has been old shool using Caspian slides on all his custom 45's and the sob can shoot. If you watched the "lawman" series whe he gave instruction o the use of the handgun, you saw exellent shooting. I don't know how many others relly shoot off set. Maybe Jessee Ventura, but I don't think Clint is a bib gun guy at least nowadays.
 
Week after week, Matt Dillion got the job done, id say he was pretty handy with his revolver! AND Lucas McCain was pretty decent with a rifle!

John Wayne vote here too. But for best gun I say the Transporter Rifle from StarTrek Deep Space 9. When you fired it about a foot from the muzzle the projectile was transported to one foot from the target with no loss in velocity. And if you knew exactly where in a room a person was you could shoot them through a wall without making a hole in the wall to point out where you shot from plus the range was measured in miles.
 
In real life: Bill Jordan.

Film: Probably Jack Bauer

Toughest gun in a movie: I'm a fan of any coach gun in an old western for maximum "effect."
