Before you slam someone read the title. All time doesn’t just mean the recent actors.

I must be one of the no ones because I’ve heard of Tom Mix.

Errol Flynn followed by John Wayne are my picks. I know no one has heard of them.

OP's testosterone measures out lower than a prepubescent female.

Oh, look, the lunatic hitler humper who has been spamming the boards all day with conspiracy rants. Yeah, your testosterone must be so high from watching Ahnode strut around with his big, well-oiled muscles. Most of Ahnode and Stallone's movies do not hold up well over time and are, frankly, extremely homoerotic. Don't get me wrong, Rocky I is one of my favorite movies, and Total Recall/Terminator I are still great, but both of those guys are overrated by nostalgic Gen Xers with latent bisexual tendencies.

Dude, like half of your Gen Z generation identifies as women, and I'm not even talking about the women!

Also, Denzel Washington is regarded as an AMAZING actor in the same white white people gush about how AMAZING the rapping is in Hamilton!

Lots of good picks, but whatever happened to Randolph Scott?

Not macho man out. Those are just terrible choices for best action movie star of all time. Every time a thread about movies comes up you can always bank on some old dude going with a bunch of legacy picks, then complaining that said picks were neglected by everyone else.

Arnold, and its not even close. Jackie Chan is the only actor that could be closely considered.

The error by many posts are people just listing actors with a long list of good action movies to their names.

Arnold was the one action hero actor who for a long time transcended the GREAT movies he was in.

Keanu was in Matrix films, Harrison Ford was in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Cruise was in Mission Impossible, Top Gun etc etc. The difference is that for his run starting in the 80s, Arnold and his cast members were all in Arnold movies. His name in the credits was basically the film title, not the actual film title. Yes, this happens for some actors... steven segal , jack chan, etc etc... but Arnold's films are ALSO great films, not just B-level stuff. He is the only actor to have done this. (Will Smith may had a chance to accomplish this starting in the mid-late 90s, but never got to Arnold level)

I get the argument for Arnold, and yes some of his movies were great.

But we're talking about action movie ACTORS here, and the one with the best acting chops in the most and best action movies is...

Harrison Ford

Not just Star Wars. Not just Indiana Jones. Not just Blade Runner. Air Force One. The Fugitive. The Jack Ryan movies. Witness.

He's the best.

Who was the long locked protagonist in Samurai Cop? What a great movie. Another pick is Cary Elwes. A reincarnation of Errol Flynn. But the absolute best is the black farmer himself, Mr. Arnold. He carried movies. He didn't need to say any words to make Conan great. Even Hanks didn't say much in Castaway yet he was lauded for his acting. You don't have to say anything to act.

I also agree with the above poster that Will was on that trajectory. Then he started doing sappy, boring movies. That shyamalan movie was the nail in the coffin. And then he gave us bright. Wtf is that? He's been relegated to TV movies.

And Hamilton is great rapping if you like epic rap battles in history, dressing up as comic book characters and think Post Malone is greater than Common.

You really believe that about Denzel Washington? Are you dismissing his work in the theater?

You love Denzel because he promotes the Jish trick that AAs all have untapped triple digit IQs.

This allows your tribe to fuel relentless black on white resentment, while you stay in the shadows.

White Supremacy Is the Root of Violence Against Jews

Two recent attacks against the Jewish community in the New York City area have come at the hands of people of color, specifically Black Americans. Trained as we are to think in terms of White supremacy and White nationalism when it comes to anti-Semitism, these attacks by people of color on Jews might seem surprising. Indeed, they have left some media outlets and pundits speechless on the topic of race and anti-Semitism, unsure of what to articulate: where does this violence come from?

1. Clint - wrote the book.

2a - Stallone

2b - Arnold

These two took it to another level during the golden age of action movies - 80's & 90's.

3. Jason Statham - so many good action flicks, he needs to be on here.

Honorable mentions:

Jackie Chan

Charles Bronson

Keanu Reeves - The Wick's quickly moved him onto this list, but we need a little more.

Cruise - seems to be known for too many other things also, but a great resume'.

Scarlett Johansson - I just wanted to mention her because she is hot and in action movies.

Charles Bronson any day

1) John Wayne. His obviously superior legacy is diminished in the media because he wasn't a communist, in fact he was

anti-Communist.

And he held blacks to the same behavioral standards as whites, which condescending commies had a big problem

with. According to commies, blacks don't have the power nor the intelligence to regulate their behavior.

2) Clint Eastwood. He knew how to call a spade a spade, and he wasn't a globalist puppet like Arnold. Notice that you

don't see any strong white males in movies anymore. They're not even allowed to be on ESPN. Only white wimps are

allowed, and only the blacks are allowed to be strong and masculine. The commies are fully in charge.

3) Tom Cruise. Probably the best lead acting film resume of all time, including more than enough classic action films.

4) Mel Gibson. Another classic manly man, effortlessly leading classic action movies. He didn't kneel to the small hats,

or else he would be praised and given more lifetime achievement awards.

5a, 5b) Arnold and Stallone

7) Jackie Chan

8) Steve McQueen
