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

    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.

    In Unforgiven, William Munny is tuffer than Little Bill.

    In Mississippi Burning, nobody is tuffer Rupert Anderson.
    Not even R Lee Ermey

    He he! Love that sheriff. “Rest of America don’t mean sheeut. You’re in Mississippi nah.”

    Is there a more classic southern redneck line?

    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.

    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.
    Yeah he was almost ... almost ... like Costner trying an accent. A real guy from Miss. is going to sound more southern.

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

    I've seen this movie so it gets my vote.

    I read "Gene" and immediately my brain assumed this was a Gene Wilder post.
