The Ultimate Acton Hero Poll

www.tips-fb.com
Okay, here's something that I've been meaning to put together for some time but never got round to it. I'm putting together a comprehensive list of action movie heroes starting from the eighties right through to present day and letting the readers of the site vote on their favourites.

Some 'heroes' may be classed as anti-heroes or maybe fall slightly out of the 'Action' genre but it's my call. If you disagree with any of the choices you can comment below and if you have enough backing then they will be removed. Likewise if I miss any from the Polls that you think should be added please comment below and I'll throw them in as a last Poll before the top threes are bundled together.

I'll place them where the Poll normally sits (over there *nods*) and will be doing them in yearly increments starting with 1980-1983 and so on. The Polls will run for a week as normal and your allowed multiple votes but only one per character.

I'll take the top three with the most votes from each yearly increment and run the poll until there is an undisputed winner. All results from all phases of the Poll will be posted on this page.

So start voting and lets see who reigns supreme. Depending on the popularity of this is dependant on whether we flip it and do villains.

The results are in for phase one and shown below:


So John Rambo, Han Solo, Snake Pliskin and Conan go through to the next round.
