(30-21) THE GREATEST ACTION HEROES

Transongeist Media Presents:
Cinema is an art form that is over a hundred years old and during these hundred years, there have been many films that try to reach the limit of excitement, with swashbuckling adventures, daring car chases, execellent fights and stunts, scenes of war and terror and simply all around action.
And in these action scenes are the action heroes.

They come from all over the world, from any time period and generation with new thrills to make the audience jump in their seats weither it be the terryfying odds of seeing one man against an army, an actor doing a stunt that looks so extravagant that we feel his heartbeat racing right next to us or simply the coolest cat in town lighting a cigar and blowing people away like its a piece of cake.

I, Bjarni Gautur wanted to make the ultimate tribute list and pay homage to what I feel are the greatest of the great action stars of cinema. This list started as a top 10, leading to a top 25 and moving very fast to a TOP 50 GREATEST ACTION HEROES OF ALL TIME.
