Hang on - aren't we forgetting someone here? One of the most famous movie stars of all time? Most famous catchphrase ever? ARNIE!! Terminator, Terminator 2, True Lies, Predator, Conan, Commando, Total Recall....He may not be much of an actor, but that's not what this thread's about. Pound for pound I'm not sure any of the other names can match his filmography, in terms of both their influence and iconic status.

Also, what about going outside the box to look at 'real' actors who can tough it up testosterone stylee? Matt Damon in The Bourne films, Daniel Craig as bad ass Bond and the ineffably cool Chow Yun Fat in The Killer and Hard Boiled. Okay, he doesn't use his fists much, but no one else looks as cool firing two guns simultaneously in slo-mo from a number of different angles whilst doves fly around in the background!
