Who is the Biggest badass in movie history?
'Badass- means having a volcanic mean streak, being meep-yo-pants funny, or as cool as a hug from death. Remember, we're talking about movie characters, not actors.
My vote Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis) from "The Last Boy SCout"
Here's why (quotes from IMDB) :
Alley Thug: Wrong place, wrong time. Nothing personal.
Joe Hallenbeck: That's what you think. Last night I meeped your wife.
Alley Thug: Oh you did, hah? How'd you know it was my wife?
Joe Hallenbeck: She said her husband was a big pimp lookin' mothermeeper with a hat.
Alley Thug: Oh, you're real cool but you've got to take a bullet.
Joe Hallenbeck: After meeping your wife I'll take two.
Jimmy Dix: Hey, man. You ever play ball? You've got a good build.
Joe Hallenbeck: What are you, a meep?
Jimmy Dix: No, I'm just trying to break the ice.
Joe Hallenbeck: I like ice. Leave it the meep alone.
[Joe gets to his office, after waking up next to a dead squirrel a bunch of kids threw in his car]
Mike Matthews: What'd you do last night?
Joe Hallenbeck: I think I meeped a squirrel to death, and don't remember
Joe Hallenbeck: Can I have a cigarette?
Chet: A cigarette? Yeah sure.
[gives him one]
Joe Hallenbeck: Got a light?
Chet: Yeah, got a light.
[pretends to give him a light and punches him instead]
Chet: Hey baby I thought you were tough. See Pablo, he's no sweat!
Joe Hallenbeck: I seem to have dropped my cigarette. May I have another?
Chet: [hesitates] Sure, sure thing buddy.
[gives him another cigarette]
Joe Hallenbeck: I'm gonna need a light. You touch me again, I'll kill ya.
(^proceeds to kill the muthameepa with one punch.)
[Joe has just found out that Mike was sleeping with his wife]
Mike Mathews: Look Joe, it just happened.
Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, it just happened. Could happen to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, fell on the floor and accidently stuck your meep into my wife. "Oops, I'm sorry, Mrs. H, I guess this just isn't my week".

No italians allowed in this thread.
The Corleone family is of course welcome universally based on the fact that they're so cool they transcend Italianism.

Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale in American Psycho) gets my vote for single film. Longevity Clint Eastwood. So bad meep half his characters don't even need names: For a Few Dollars More; Pale Rider; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly etc.

Word! There is no real Bond after Sean Connery.
I dont like these "look at me im mega cool" kind of character.
Ill prefer the more subtle ones.
Keyser Soze !
edit: On my search for pictures of keyser soze i found this I hope its true.

True, Keyser Soze could kick even Patton's meep. He wins. Except for maybe Dr Evil.

Indy is to much of a do-gooder to be badass, his meep quotient is low.

Indeed, your right, i just dont know how to translate "badass" correctly. Ill just rated them on their "level of coolness" and, matter of fact, Indiana Jones is cool. So we talk about people who dont care about other people when they want to reach their goals.
Thus, we have, Keyser Soze, a real badass, who doesnt work with the same people again, he does his business and "After that, my guess is you'll never hear from him again." We dont need to talk about James Bond.... Ill dont remeber much of General Patton, ill have to look my Dr. Strangelove DVD soon, again.
So, while we are talking about "real guys", who is more guy then the characters of western movies. Especially, this one:
Did you notice that are no new and "hip" movies are mentioned here?

Indiana Jones is supercool.
And so is he. I never thought so until I saw that movie (Once Upon A Time In The West, sprechen sie schisse). Awesome movie. Apparently has the longest intro of any movie, ever. Also, Amon Tobin sampled a couple of the quirky little motifs from the theme, and Amon Tobin is wicked awesome, so I just have to declare this entire meme a giant orgasm and move on.
Thank you frans.

Well, you can experience movies in many ways. Once upon a time in the west is a real masterpiece. I watched it (not for the first time!), coming down from an x, smoked some dope. Illl were really relaxed. These moments are burning into you brain. This silence, wonderful. Its a very calm movie. I havent measured it, but the myth is, that they dont talk in the first half hour of this movie. Whether is true, or not, its a silent movie, silent like the desert.
One day, i waited on the train station, and i was totally on the "once upon a time" trip. Ill looked around, the people around me, ill looked at them, and they looked away. Ill were in the movie. They were waiting to something to happen. (if i think about it now, of course the were waiting for the train to come g). And you notice every sound on the station. Every movement. And so is the movie, a tribute to the moment.

Wow, I watch a LOT of movies, I've always had this on my list of "Unwatched Classics" but have never seen it. This might be because I hate being let down, and I have heard conflicting reviews on this one but I trust Vasudeva's taste in movies, so I soon watchzor.

Simply based on the fact that he will meep your eye out.
I would have to imagine that being on the reciving end of that would be very discouraging. Therefore Pei Ma i= Badass

FYI: It's not an action flick, like your typical western. Like Sachsenpaule says, it's slow, but not slow-boring. More like slow-haunting. There's some real wierd meep in there, too. You'll see what I'm talking about.
In fact, I have it in XViD, if you want to rip it.
WAIT NO I DON'T I DELETED YOUR HAPPINESS LOL X 72

Godzilla.
Perhaps you mean real badasses, rather than fake badasses in a rubber suit?
Then definitely 72X Godzilla.

ASH.
"Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that? "
"That's it, go ahead and run. Run home and cry to mama!"
