Toughest hombre west of the Pecos?


John Wayne or Clint Eastwood?
Also your preference:
Solid State or Tubes?
Wondering if there is a correlation.

Suprised no one mentioned Bronson. He took on whole "hoods" to avenge the wrongs...And he certainly wasn't a pretty boy.

Tubes driving vintage "iron" OPT's
The governor of California, and of course being a cyborg, the Terminator likes solid state!
Jack Palance, freelanced as a vampire when he wasnt doing 1 armed pushups at the age of 80. Definatly a tube dude, prettyboy Robert Conrad 2nd place. Try and knock that battery of his shoulder..hands down solid state dude.
Both Jack Palance and Burt Lancaster were mentioned. Here's a story about the two of them:
Once, while filming a fight scene with Burt Lancaster, Palance actually punched the unsuspecting Lancaster in the face. Tough guy Lancaster responded by socking Palance in the gut, causing him to vomit.
And Palance was a professional boxer before he became an actor.

The film was "The Professionals". It probably had the all-time toughest homebre cast. Lancaster, Palance, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan & Woody Strode.
I am sorry but Charles Bronson in 'Once Upon a Time in the West' was the man, fearless!

Tubes - an don't look at me that way :)
