    Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57 delivered this ultra cool line to hijacker Bruce Payne whiule starting his plan to re gain control of the plane
    WS-You ever played rouloutte before?
    BP-A few times
    WS-Heres a tip.Always bet on black:D :D :cool:

    James Bond also plays it cool in a bad situation.Among my favourite Bond scenes is where Timothy Dalton swims under the seaplane as it takes off full of drug money after he escapes from the drug boat.Despite attempts by the pilot to knock him off he manages to climb into the cockpit,kick the pilot up against his door,and release the emergency door opener:D Also love where Roger Moore is on the golden gate bridge fighting the industrialist dude who jumps out of his airship to comfront Bond with gripping and lethal results.My palms go sweaty every time i see that scene:D

    Shaft.

    Snipes was super-cool in Blade too. Oh, and Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction.

    Kevin Spacey's character in American Beauty... he was pretty cool especially towards the end and when he told his boss he's blackmail him with a sexual harrassment charge if he didn't pay him a huge redundancy sum. Brilliant.
    I also thought Robert Redford's character in Spy Game was very cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    Jack Nicholson in Batman.
