I came here to rattle off Bronson, Eastwood, and Hackman. Also, Whoopi Goldberg in Burglar and Fatal Beauty. Also Nolte and Murphy in the 48 Hours movies, Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. Really the action cop genre existed long before Die Hard. Willis just did a really good job believably taking out 15 heavily armed Euro thieves. Permalink Parent 1
