So here we go, the first week of Ultimate Bad Ass. While we still await the results of the Wildcard Playoff (and Mr. T’s miraculous lead), we are going to get started on the first round of action.
The first games we have are from the Jack Bauer bracket, called thus for Jack being the #1 seed for his group. Hopefully Jack appreciates the honor.
You can see the entire bracket and other information by visiting our Ultimate Bad Ass main page.
(Voting is open until Friday, April 18th)
So let’s get to it:
#1 Jack Bauer versus #8 MacGyver
The star from 24 who can kick the crap out of anyone, and the star from…MacGyver who can build the crap out of anything.
[poll id="4"]
#2 Jackie Chan versus #7 Martin Riggs
The stunt master Jackie Chan faces off against the king of shoulder dislocations, Martin Riggs.
[poll id="5"]
#3 Dirty Harry versus #6 Benjamin Linus
A very interesting matchup. One guy known for talking with his gun, and the other for using his mind and wit to beat down his opponents.
[poll id="6"]
#4 John Matrix versus #5 James T. Kirk
John Matrix was in Commando, a movie I only saw once a long time ago, and he squares off against the most legendary starship captain of all-time.
[poll id="7"]

This is going to be a good one.
OMG how fun is this!?!?!
They specifically need to make a 24 episode of Jack slappin around McGuyver….
Although Riggs is cool..he’s not Taking Chan…
Linus, I’m afraid thinks he feels lucky…Harry in this one..
Just seeing the Matrix vs Kirk contest cracks me up!! Kirk has a phaser and double clasp back blast shot, Matrix..has everything else… nod to the commando…I mean come on he has to win, you see the kind of sandwiches this guy eats?
I just can’t see James T. Kirk losing in the first round…
Yeah but you wear glasses, so you have an excuse to not be able to see it…
Can you imagine McGruber… I mean MacGuyver trying to build something out of paper clips and duct tape while Jack Bauer beats the tar out of him.
Great contest!
After only 6 votes, the #4 vs #5 match proves the most interesting!
I just see as Kirk is pausing in his melo-dramitc speech, he gets punched in the face…
In honor of Michael Buffer…
“Let’s get ready to RUMBLE…”
@Kory LOL…
What even funnier is Buffer has his own web page.
I couldn’t recall his last name so i did quick search and up comes http://www.letsrumble.com – Go figure.
@Kory – So completely random it’s funny.
Yeah, I like Kirk too, but no way he’s taking down The Commando! Unless…Kirk gets close enough to break out the Vulcan Death Grip…
Still, The Commando use machine guns and like bazookas and stuff… Kirk’s gonna have a hard time in his fancy pantsuit.
Did you know Buffer charges like $100k for an appearance to say his famous saying… he even has it trade marked….
Kirk is holding his own right now
Kirk has the advantage in his corner.
- Bones gives him a shot of tri-ox compound
- Spock calls out completely logical attack moves
- Scotty stands at the ready at the transporter
- Checkov mans the weapons station
- Sulu has the Conn
- and, Yeoman Rand has a clipboard for no conceivable purpose
R.A. Porter’s last blog post..Friday Night Sketch War: Round Ten
James T. Kirk’s best weapon was not the Vulcan Death Grip (which apparently only puts people to sleep?) but the aptly named (because I named it) “Jim Kirk”, which is the double clasped hammer fist technique. That said, John Matrix is pretty cool, and he can kill hundreds of people (I seem to recall it being about 120?) in a relatively short time, without needing a starship to do it with. I’m a bit conflicted here.
Ben and McGyver really had no chance in this lineup at all. Neither is a badass.
Ben can convince Dirty Harry to shoot himself.
James T. Kirk pulls ahead! Red Alert!
Dirty Harry is no weak-willed weenie full of problems and angst, so I’m going to have to respectfully disagree. Ben won’t be able to convince him of anything, especially not with his head blown clean off.
@ Robert – I’m with you on this. I simply do not see Dirty Harry willing to listen to what Ben has to say.
Seriously why is Ben Linus in this?
Scotty Dub’s last blog post..The Art and Anguish of the Presentation
Who knows, he just made it…maybe he should have been saved for the bad guys bracket down the road.
Definitely for the bad guys bracket, esp in light of the fact that Jules isn’t going to get in. so not happy.
Scotty Dub’s last blog post..The Art and Anguish of the Presentation
I would have to say Jules is a bigger bad ass than Linus.
Linus? The guy with the blanket from the Peanuts? That dude is lightening with that blankey…
hey! did someone sabotage my voting b/c i can’t vote!! it’s already showing the results for me. WAAAAAHHHH!
and you know who i thought we forgot? tony soprano. he’s more bad ass than ben linus too.
HELP MIKE!
nicky’s last blog post..Beauty wants.
Yeah we decided Riddick could take both Mr. T and Jules wiht one hand, so we replaced them both…
so i had to do a absentee ballot since adrian already voted from our home IP. he voted for me at his work.
he has no chance. but mr. t does!!!
and i did give macgyver a vote b/c i felt bad for him.
nicky’s last blog post..Beauty wants.
Riggs, Riggs, Riggs, Riggs!! The guy took like 10 bullets at the end of Lethal Weapon 2 and survived, can dislocate his shoulder at will, and had who knows how many “at bats” with Patsy Kensit as well. I could go on and on. Come on people!
Steven’s last blog post..Don’t Agitate The Dots
Sorry Nicky, glad you got to vote though eventually
James T. Kirk taking down a #4 seed, upset city!
Dont get me wrong I’m a huge Kirk fan (I mean come on he’s a Capn for crying out loud), I just dont see him taking Mr. Matrix…
Cap’n, you are starting to sound like Chemical Ali…I mean, Kirk is up by like 5 votes or something, yet you are talking about him like he’s losing
5 Votes? walk in the park… Ole Matrix hasnt even gotten up yet!!!
Still early but Mr. Special Forces is starting to close the gap.
The Commando is only behind by three now. Looks like he could catch up. Kirk just doesn’t have the stamina to go against a commando.
[...] before you go on, make sure you’ve voted in the Jack Bauer Bracket. Once you’ve done that, come back here and vote [...]
Commando was just on the action channel… lol, no way my fellow Capn could win this…
Ok , so much for the Kirk 3 vote lead, he certainly ‘warped’ ahead now…
James T. Kirk kicking some butt! Told ya!
So much for Mr. Special Forces closing the gap…
Yeah, bummer man, I think Kirk is more of a household name… but maybe we dont know something others do??!?!..
[...] you missed the vote, you can see the results over on our Round 1 page, but here were the ones that [...]
ben linus…….get the fuck out…that dude is brilliant…he can win over everyone.
mright, don’t worry, we’ll be doing an Ultimate Bad Guy very soon and then Benjamin Linus can give it a second try
