Forget Obi Wan...I'm replacing him with Wolverine!
...and by the way "Mongo love candy!"
...and by the way #2: sorry Rich, you can't pick Uncas; he already lost his semi-final match to Magua! Hmmm, come to think of it, Magua lost in the finals to the King Geezer himself, Chingy!! Looks like you need to make two new picks -- hey, this is better than Dancing With the Stars!!  |

Well since we are doing fictional characters I will go with the Cullen family minus Esme as she is too nice for a bar fight So I say Carlisle, Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie (leave Alice on the sidelines too since I can have only 5 and Rosalie is kind of bitchy  whereas Alice is so sweet |

Unh-unh. Nothing is better than "Dancing With The Stars!" Nothing! Except maybe American Idol this season.
Anyway.... my 5 picks in a bar fight...
1. Col. George Washington (as he was during the F & I War)
2. Timothy Murphy (look him up!)
3. Daniel Morgan
4. Col. John Glover
5. Hugh Mercer
Yes, yes. I think I would feel quite safe and protected surrounded by those rough and tough gentlemen. |

Hey Obi,
I hope that you can't get these lyrics out of your head.
In the eyes of a ranger,
The unsuspecting stranger,
Had better know the truth of wrong from right,
'Cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you,
Any wrong you do, he's gonna see,
When you're in Texas, look behind you,
'Cause that's where the rangers gonna be.

Senator Jim Webb of Virginia. Don't think I'd need anyone else.
WW, have you been watching "The Crossing" again? Although, now that I think about it, it only takes one viewing to leave Glover and Mercer imprinted indelibly on one's mind. Great choices, and characters! |

Not a problem...that so-called "song" never did it for me anyway. There are three three things CN does not do at all (and several others he almost completely misses):
1) Sing - I refer to the above "song"
2) Act - just try to watch any of his movies or that pathetic TV series which lasted way too long (defined as "more than one episode")
3) Look like a Texas Ranger - in real life, they NEVER wear black hats. |

Well, I did watch The Crossing during the Christmas season, as I do every year. However, you are absolutely correct. John Glover and Hugh Mercer were both amazing men. Seamus reminded me this past weekend what Hugh Mercer did during the French & Indian War, the Braddock Expedition, and the Battle of Monongahela... and afterward. It's a great story.
Timothy Murphy.... well, you just don't find a much more "romantic" hero than that.
Daniel Morgan was just plain tough!
And George.... well, you all know my feelings about George!
OK. Here is an alternative list for me:
1. John Wayne (I'm with you on that one, Sus!)
2. Patrick Swayze (as he was in Roadhouse, and I'm surprised that none of you remembered him!)
3. Fess Parker (as Davy Crockett)
4. Leslie Nielsen (as The Swamp Fox)
5. Russell Crowe (as he was in Gladiator ) |

Somebody sounds awfully jealous of Mr. C.N.'s talents.
Just because he can do it all, don't feel bad Obi. 
Besides, I get criticism from someone who lists Wolverine???? And who the heck is Mongo? I know that "Mongo love candy", but that is all I know about Mongo. Doesn't seem to have much of a vocabulary and you put him above my beloved Chuck??? You can keep your hairy Wolverine and your candy loving Mongo, and I will stick with Chuck.
Love,
Kay |

CN has talent? Say, that's news!
Mongo is a (hilarious) character played by Alec Karras in the classic Blazing Saddles. If you've never seen this movie, do so ASAP; then you'll understand why he's on the team. BTW, CN wouldn't stand a chance against him!
Anyhow, I just spent about 12 seconds and came up with my All-Women's Bar-Fight Team: Ellen Ripley, Ziva David, Princess Fiona, Eowyn of Rohan, and Joanie Weston! YMMV. ...and NO, I needed no more time than that to come up with a list of 5 teammates who could kick just about any male tail! Guys, this is really a sad commentary... |

I've heard of Blazing Saddles, but I have never watched it. I will put it on my NetFlix queue.
Hey, I am taking off two of my Chuck Norris nominees and adding Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. Did you ever see their fight scene in Bridget Jones' Diary? I have a feeling that you haven't, but they were hilarious!!! I could get comic relief and laugh at them fighting and then Chuck could really take care of business.
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen

Okay, here are my choices--actually I have several groups:
John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, "SCAR" (Henry Brandon), James Caan and Christopher George. On reserve: Ward Bond and Ben Johnson.
Next group: Styles, Oldroyd, Mathews, Horatio Hornblower and Archie Kennedy. On reserve: Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, Dreadnought Foster and William Bush.
Finally: All of "F Troop".

What about the "A" Team? Except there's only 4 of them (or 5 if Murdock (sp?) brought along one of his alter egos!).

OK, try this one on for size. The only prerequisite is that the character must have been in more than one movie or in a TV series...
