1. Pike Bishop - The Wild Bunch
2. Popeye Doyle - The French Connection
3. Darth Vader - The Empire Strikes Back
4. William Munny - Unforgiven
5. Quint - Jaws
6. Walker - Point Blank
7. Marv - Sin City
8. Max Cady - Cape Fear (original)
9. Dirty Harry - Dirty Harry
10. Jules Winfield - Pulp Fiction

Now, I have a pretty strict criteria for badasses. I haven't included the likes of Lisbeth Salander (who would've been number one otherwise), John McClane, Ellen Ripley etc is because they show a certain amount of reluctance in their badassery, if you know what I mean. And boy, do I love them for it
