I was thinking about this since I watch a lot of movies. If you were in charge of assembling a crack unit of specially trained individuals for one mission, which characters out of any action movies would you choose to comprise that team and why?
Let's say the mission is this: an American embassy in an Eastern European nation is raided by religious extremists. They execute the ambassador's family, and kidnap not only the ambassador, but several of his staff and immediately demand existing trade sanctions with their country be lifted.
You get to assemble a unit of five individuals and yourself. Who are the five?
Here's mine: (keep in mind anybody from any action movie is eligible).
1. Me
2. Micheal Beihn - from any movie in which he plays a SEAL. Take your pick, he's been one in like six movies so he's got to know something about the job. Plus, he was Johnny Ringo in "Tombstone".
3. Bruce Willis - as John McClaine in the "Die Hard" films. No one's better at taking a beating but always coming out on top. Plus, if we have to infiltrate a building being held by these terrorists, he's got experience.
4. Arnold Shwarzenegger - as Dutch from "Predator". The guy beats an alien at it's own game, survives a nuclear blast in the jungle, and makes primitive weapons out of a Bowie knife and some left over grenades. Yep, he can be on the team no doubt.
5. Mel Gibson - as Martin Riggs in "Leathal Weapon". The wild card, plus his character was ex-special forces from Nam and a good sniper.
6. Vin Diesel - as Shawn Vetter in "A Man Apart". He'd be a little on edge, but this guy killed the man who killed his woman by beating him to death with his own hands. That makes the cut right there.
Honerable mention: Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winfield from "Pulp Fiction"...just to have him as our negotiator. Hey, he's got a wallet that says "Bad MF'er" on it.
