Who is the biggest bad ass character in movie history?

I give some few examples.

John McClane
He is the DEPARTMENT of Homeland security. Thats how much terrorist ass he kicks.

Sword of Doom, get it now. I'd also say Toshiro mifune, from this same movie. God they were... godly.

Peco from Ping Pong

if I have to name a white guy, it'd be Snake Plissken.

A bad ass for me is someone untouchable emotionally/mentally/physically, or if you somehow do affect them, they'll bite back far worse. The choices of mine already up being Terminator, Jules, The Dude, and The Man with No Name... And of course the first name I can't believe hasn't been mentioned yet.

He's the literal embodiment of cool. He's so cool that he can't he can't even be real.

McClane has to be the biggest badass though.
 
Lots of great choices here. I'll add my vote for Snake Plissken. Han Solo and Indiana Jones are at the top too. James Bond. Conan. Richard B. Riddick. :)
