Rambo #1 Again!

EmpireOnLine.com recently posted their list of The Top 25 Best One Man Armies in the Movies. Of course, Rambo came in at #1. Who could argue with that? The rest of the list can [and should] be debated. Isn’t that the purpose of lists? Here are my suggestions for the top ten:
- Rambo played by SYLVESTER STALLONE in FIRST BLOOD, RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD, PART II, RAMBO III, RAMBO
- Lee played by BRUCE LEE in ENTER THE DRAGON
- Bryan Mills played by LIAM NEESON in TAKEN
- Geno Felino played by STEVEN SEAGAL in OUT FOR JUSTICE
- Creasy played by DENZEL WASHINGTON in MAN ON FIRE
- Walker played by LEE MARVIN in POINT BLANK
- El Mariachi played by ANTONIO BANDERAS in DESPERADO, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO
- John Matrix played by ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER in COMMANDO
- Blade played by WESLEY SNIPES in BLADE, BLADE II, BLADE TRINITY
- John Preston played by CHRISTIAN BALE in EQUILIBRIUM
