best post apoc movie character

[welsh]

Which actors did you feel were the best in playing a post-apoc character?

 

[King of Creation]

I don't even think this needs to be mentioned, but..

Mel Gibson


and I really like Bruce Spence

 

[flatlinedeath666]

Charleston Heston in "The Omega Man."

He fucking ruled.

 

[Slayn]

I second Mel Gibson.

I got to go with Kurt Russel as Snake in the Escape from NY and Escape from LA flicks.

Also Rutgur Hauer was cool in the Blood of Heroes.

 

[Revolver]

Not sure if this is the kind of post-apocalyptic you're looking for, but: Kaneda in Akira...

 

[Malky]

Kurt Russell as Snake, but that wasn't really post-apoc.

It pretty much goes for saying Gibson has it down. Anyone know the deal with the new Mad Max?

 

[Dove]

You can't be serious, a new Mad Max, and a new Indiana Jones. WOW. C'mon where can I find more info.

Mel kicks ass. Kaneda wasn't a real person, but the character was cool. I even have the model of him with his bike, and the GTA mod.

My addition is Olivier Gruner from Nemesis.

Snake Plisken, I heard you were dead?

If it was post apoc. He would have won hands down.

 

[Revolver]

Kaneda wasn't a real person, but the character was cool. I even have the model of him with his bike, and the GTA mod.

Woops... I guess I only read the title of the thread... In terms of actors... Kevin Co- I'm just kidding, I'd have to go w/ Mel Gibson in the original Mad Max.

Hey!

I actually *liked* The Postman!

But Waterworld is another story...

 

[Dove]

No you were right, I screwed up. Kaneda should be included, it says character, I think Welsh threw us a curveball in the first post.

<-----Vash the Stampede honorable mention.

 

[Slayn]

You can't be serious, a new Mad Max, and a new Indiana Jones. WOW. C'mon where can I find more info.

According to hearsay, which may or may not be accurate, Max is suppose to die fairly early on in the movie, with his son or somesuch taking over the lead role. Again, that's just hearsay.

They might also know some things.

OoO, I hope that really becomes all true.

Hey!But Waterworld is another story...

You've got to be kidding me, Waterworld was great. Kevin Costner is good. Waterworld's environment is the exact same as Mad Max two things differ, it's not post-apoc, and it's all water. The storyline was great.... One of my favorite movies.

Waterworld=Great movie.


I say Bruce Willis should play the Vault Dweller.

 

[Ozrat]

Even if The Vault Dweller is a 16 year old female?

 

[Mohrg]

Even if The Chosen One is a 16 year old female?

Exactly! You have failed to remember that the Chosen One does not have to be male, Pippy.

[Pipboy2000]

Fucking smartass.... 16 year old female, I'd have to vote for... either Salma Hayek or hm.... Jessica Alba..

 

[Ozrat]

How about a 16 year old male?

Or 35 year old female?
