Tough Guys

[Insidious Von]

Is there anyone more under-rated than Stephen Lang? Don't Breathe was an unexpected smash hit but when he auditioned for Cable in Deadpool II he was ignored.

I watched his one man show Beyond Glory in NYC, it's seared in my mind. He has a new movie called VFW, can't wait to see it.

There isn't even a trailer for it.

Avatar hasn't aged well, had it not been for Lang I would have fallen asleep. You have to give James Cameron credit for his casting decisions.

Of course when you think of tough guys the first name that comes up is Burt Lancaster. I've seen The Train numerous times, he was 50+ when he made it. He used all his skills as a former circus performer to make the film work, perhaps the greatest physical actor ever.

He was 67 when he made Atlantic City. Him hooking up with a young and sexy Susan Sarandon - I had no problem suspending my disbelief.

If this had been an UFC fight, it would have made big money. Two of the very toughest.

Charles Bronson vs legendary stunt man/actor Nick Dimitri.

Nick Dimitri's credits include Out for Justice, Sudden Impact, 48hrs and Total Recall.

Oops I got it wrong the scene from Sharkey's Machine was not done by Nick Dimitri, it was Dar Robinson who fell 15 stories.

This is Nick Dimitri's famous fall or dive. He was Harrison Ford's stunt double.
