I was waiting for someone to blast him.
no sheee-it.
plenty of guys look better than pitt:
what about tom cruise in mission impossible ?
swayze in dirty dancing ?
toby mcguire in spiderman ? [/quote]
LOL Toby Maguire eh? I like the way this Snrub thinks!
Arnold in Conan, Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon. Uncanny wide V when flexed his back, ripped, and purely functional. The guy had huge Popeye forearms too; they look practically bizarre in some shots. Skinny legs, but what the hell, they were still incredibly athletic ones. Not the type of physique favored on this board, but that’s fine, and many weightlifters with much bigger bodies don’t have as impressive forearms as he did.
Carl Weathers and Dolf Lungren also had really impressive physiques.
And Jessica Biehl is incredibly beautiful. Being in fantastic shape is just a bonus.

Jessica Biel! Man shes a T-Vixen! Did you see her in Stealth?? She was buffed up and hella sexy at the same time. DAMNNNNN[/quote]
More than she was in “Blade: Trinity”? If yes, then good! I never thought much of her in 7th Heaven. Ryan Reynolds looked great too, but definitely could have been bigger if he had trained more before getting his role.
As for my favorites, it’s a tie between Stallone in “Rambo II” and Schwarzenegger in “Predator”.

That is my version of the ultimate T-movie. The opening scene of Arnold hand wrestling with Carl Weathers…ohh man! Awesome![/quote]
I remember when Predator came out I saw an interview with Arnold. He said he felt he was in the best physical shape, overall, in his life when he did this pic. Most of the cast of that film were pretty big dudes, all over 6’ and according to the interview they all worked out and trained together and pushed the hell out of each other.

Hmm, that is one sweet choice (pun fully intended), but for my money, I might go with Jill Kelly.

Jill Kelly is an old, run of the mill, worn out skank compared to Monica Sweetheart. Not that I’d kick either of em out of bed for eating crackers!

I forgot about him. The part in the movie where it shows him training in that dungeon of a gym like a beast was bad ass!
Jean Claude Van Damme
Lou Ferrigno in Hercules
Wesley Snipes in Blade…OMG his body was badass ripped!!!
What?!? Nobody mentioned John Candy? OK, how about Mike Myers (FatBastard looked GREAT)- oh, That was makeup?!? Nobody told me.
Ok Roseanne Barr. How about her? Remember? When she wore that devil outfit?
OK- I give up…
Vin Diesel in Pitch Black and Riddick.
Just love his phisique…

Agreed, Carl Weathers in the Rocky movies and Predator are an example of the ideal physique - just enough mass to put a beatdown on most folks, but lean enough to be athletic and quick.[/quote]
Definitely check him out in Action Jackson. His arms are insane, and certainly what most people would call “achievable”.

Another very impressive physique would have to be that one warrior whom Achilles(Brad Pitt) fights at the beginning of Troy. That guy is MASSIVE. Too bad he is only on screen for 30 seconds.[/quote]
The warrior is Nathan Jones, ex WWE, ex con, ex powerlifter, all Aussie…
Personally, though, I vote for Robin Williams in Popeye. It’s all about the forearms.

On a (somewhat) serious note, Pitt put on an impressive amount of weight to play Achilles. He wasn’t thin and wiry like in Fight Club, and in fact he wasn’t even “ripped”. I bet he put on 30 or 40 pounds.
I’d say the most impressive would be Arnold in Conan or Predator.
In addition to the others mentioned…
Dalip Singh-Longest Yard
Christian Bale-American Psycho
Salma Hayek-Once Upon A Time In Mexico
(No so much ripped as perfectly curvey)
Jennifer Garner-Elektra
Wesley Snipes-Demolition Man
Matthew McConaughey & Bale-Reign Of Fire
Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson in… anything I’ve ever seen them in.
Linda Hamilton - Terminator series.

He was also a promising strongman competitor until Magnus Samuelson broke his arm in 1995. Was the year they had arm wrestling as an event at the WSM and Magnus snapped his arm, a spiral fracture. OUCH!!!
Would also like to add Bolo Yeung. You’ll remember him from Bloodpsort and form Ente the Dragon. Realize that when he “fought” against Van Damme in Bloodsport, Bolo was 50 years old. The guy is amazing.
Bio on him lists that he was Mr. Hong Kong in 1970, bodybuilding competition, and that he escaped communism by smimming from China to Hong Kong across the harbor.
I thought that Magnus was an arm wrestler before he did wsm and got out of arm wrestling because he broke someone’s arm.
