Little Bill - UnforgivenGood pole. I could have gone with several. Little Bill was just perfect though.

Rupert Anderson - Mississippi BurningI would say "and it's not even close," but it is close because Hackman is so great.
But that seen where he goes up the club, and he's all alone and just fucking with those rednecks and grabs the real mean one by balls sitting on the chair?
Let me put it this way: when men sit around fantasizing about a tough guy scene from the movies, I go back and forth between about 20 Josey Wales scenes and that one in Mississippi Burning.
You get this straight, shitkicker. Don't you go mistakin' me for some whole other body. -
Rupert Anderson - Mississippi Burning
I was thinking Little Bill, but one of my criteria for ultimate tough guy is that he's the toughest guy in the movie. So, like, in Josey Wales, there's nobody tougher than Wales. The man lives by the feud after all.chuck said:Good pole. I could have gone with several. Little Bill was just perfect though.
In Unforgiven, William Munny is tuffer than Little Bill.
In Mississippi Burning, nobody is tuffer Rupert Anderson. -

Hackman was so unhinged in Mississippi Burning he made crazy ass Willem Defoe settle for playing the straight man.creepycoug said:I would say "and it's not even close," but it is close because Hackman is so great.

Little Bill - Unforgiven
Great points. Munny is meant and scarier underneath the surface, but Little Bill is quite a bit more of an arrogant, wicked motherfucker, at least at that stage of their lives. He really was easy to hate.creepycoug said:

Rupert Anderson had some unbeatable moments. Few actors can get pissed off like Hackman. The barbershop scene with the deputy and the club scene with Merle from Walking Dead were a couple of his best scenes ever. There were moments of dialogue earlier in the film, and scattered throughout, where I wasn't that sold on him. Maybe the noncommittal attempts at a Southern drawl were too distracting for me. -

Is there a more classic southern redneck line? -
Rupert Anderson - Mississippi Burning
Yeah he was almost ... almost ... like Costner trying an accent. A real guy from Miss. is going to sound more southern.chuck said:

The deputy was played perfectly. Who didn’t hate that motherfucker?

Old man Nacho took my brothers and me to see this at the Lewis & Clark theater. After it ended, we then proceeded to go into see Sudden Impact.
