The Bad-Mutha******* Poll: The Films and Characters of Samuel L. Jackson (1 Viewer)

[MichaelAW]

This will be the tournament where we decide which film has the baddest motherfucker in it, as played by Link Removed.
I will nominate the first eight films, and then we'll take eight more in discussion.
The first eight:
1. Pulp Fiction: Jules Winfield
2. Jackie Brown: Ordell Robbie
3. Shaft: John Shaft
4. Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones: Mace Windu
5. Unbreakable: Elijah Price
6. Die Hard: With a Vengeance: Zeus Carter
7. Jungle Fever: Gator Purify
8. The Negotiator: Danny Roman
Two nominations per person, and a second required.

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

I'll nominate Changing Lanes (Doyle Gipson) and Rules of Engagement (Colonel Terry L. Childers).

 

[Scott Weinberg]

I'll use my second on Changing Lanes.
My nominees:
Trevor Garfield - One Eight Seven - IMO, one of his best performances ever.
Det. Mitch Hennessey - The Long Kiss Goodnight - Sam's easily the best thing in this messy action flick.

 

[Bruce Hedtke]

I will second 187. Great performance.
I will nominate Eve's Bayou and A Time To Kill.
Bruce

 

[Ryan Donovan]

I second A Time To Kill ("Yes, they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in Hell!") and nominate Do The Right Thing and The Great White Hype.

 

[MichaelAW]

So far, A Time to Kill, 187, and Changing Lanes have been nominated. Still needing seconds are Rules of Engagement, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Eve's Bayou, Do the Right Thing, and Great White Hype.

We have five more spots to fill.

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

I'll second The Long Kiss Goodnight.

 

[Gabe D]

I'll second The Great White Hype.

 

[MichaelAW]
