"I don't give a fuck about your war - or your President!" Snake Plissken Played By: Kurt Russell Film: Escape From New York, Escape From L.A. Why He's On The List: It takes more than an eye-patch to make an icon, something John Carpenter and eternal muse Kurt Russell understood all too well when creating Snake Plissken. But it sure does help. As does nicking a horde of characteristics from great movie tough guys - Eastwood's voice, Marvin's pissed-off attitude - and blending it with Russell's natural charisma. The result? A true one-off: a cranky, hard-as-nails, nihilistic badass that nobody in their right mind would mess with. But we'd heard he was dead. Finest Hour: His smirk at the movie's end.
