Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
It it the most linear movie you will ever see. Lee Marvin wants his money. They don’t want to give it to him. Guess what happens next?

What movie and who is that?
Don’t think I’ve seen this guy mentioned yet. Yeah, he’s been kind of a pansy lately, but he started off strong, and with his new movie Faster, I think he might be on track to be badass again.

Goddamnit, you dirty bastard! I came onto this thread specifically to mention Marvin as Walker in Point Blank. Great movie!
Okay, well I’d have to go with Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen), Clint Eastwood in anything, Bud White (R. Crowe) in L.A. Confidential, Col. Kilgore (R. Duvall) in Apocalypse Now, Sgt. Barnes (T. Berenger) in Platoon and Anton Sigur (spelling?) in No Country for Old Men.
Randy Couture, not in alot of movies but definetly a badass in all of them the expendables especially

Ed Norton in American history X. He was a neo-Nazi. He also got brutally fist-raped later in the movie. Draw your own conclusions as to badassitude.

Dude, the whole point of the movie is his catharsis and realization that what he did at the beginning was based on bullshit ideology.
Audie Leon Murphy
Murphy was the most decorated American soldier of World War II and a celebrated movie star for over two decades in the post-war era, appearing in 44 films.
Murphy became the most decorated United States soldier of the war during twenty-seven months in action in the European Theatre.He received the Medal of Honor, the U.S. military’s highest award for valor, along with 32 additional U.S. and foreign medals and citations, including five from France and one from Belgium.
Murphy’s successful movie career included To Hell and Back, based on his book of the same title.
He died in a plane crash in 1971 and was interred, with full military honors, in Arlington National Cemetery.
The official U.S. Army citation for Audie Murphy’s Medal of Honor reads:
Rank and organization: Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company B 15th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division.
Place and date: Near Holtzwihr France, January 26, 1945.
Citation: Second Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by six tanks and waves of infantry.
2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to a prepared position in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone
Behind him, to his right, one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods.
2d Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire, which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy.
He was alone and exposed to German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back.
For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad that was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank.
Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued his single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted.
He then made his way back to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack, which forced the Germans to withdraw.
His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50.
2d Lt. Murphy’s indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction, and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy’s objective.
Continuing re: Audie Murphy, a real badass:
Following its participation in the Italian campaign, the 3rd Division landed in Southern France on August 15, 1944 as part of Operation Anvil-Dragoon.
Shortly thereafter, Murphy’s best friend, Lattie Tipton, was killed by a German soldier in a machine gun nest who was feigning surrender.
Murphy went into a rage, and single-handedly wiped out the German machine gun crew which had just killed his friend.
He then used the German machine gun and grenades to destroy several other nearby enemy positions. For this act, Murphy received the Distinguished Service Cross.
Murphy, BTW, was 5’5" and 120lbs.
