Total Badasses: Johnny Cage

Johnny Cage just oozes awesomeness. What a cool guy. Midway totally just took off Van Damme, and then tried to combine him with the "coolest stereotype of an american ever" for this character, but look at him! I'd totally see a Johnny Cage movie.

This attack he's doing here is called the "Shadow Kick" (pow!) and its one of his best special moves. Also he wears sunglasses.

He probably drives a "Corvette" or something. Badass.

Hard Target rules

"Hard Target" is one of the most underrated action movies ever. It was John Woo's first Hollywood film and it seems all but forgotten now. First off, Van Damme (who also never gets the respect he deserves for being a badass) plays a total badass cajun, with an amazing name. Chance Boudreaux. I shit you not. His first name is "Chance".

It all takes place in New Orleans so its really picturesque and there's a sweet "lazy" guitar soundtrack. The plot is pretty standard action fare with a criminal syndicate who are involved with a human hunting ring. The syndicate is headed by the most badass of them all, Mr. Lance Henriksen. Hell yes.

Other than that, the movie features motorcycles, snakes, white doves flying stylishly into the air, diners, crossbows and Van Damme kicking ass.
