A singing .45

Luke Kirby, I believe, is the strip to which you referred. At the time, I didn't really get into it, although I'm sure that I would now.

Good grief I love to watch The Rock. Despite the overt Americana, it remains one of my favourite beer movies. It's quite amusing to watch the USA's elite marines getting their arses pasted by a band of mercenaries, especially in the famous elevated position shower room scene. Of course it goes without saying that if the Pentagon wanted the job done properly they should have pulled a few strings and brought the SAS or SBS over. If they had, Ed Harris would have been weeping into his prison overalls before the sunset.

Yeah, Connery is on top form. As to who would win in a scrap between 1996 Mason and 1962 Bond, it's tough to call. Bond is younger, faster and in better condition, but Mason has years of experience on the dapper spy, and being an SAS captain would have taught him a trick or two. In a toe to toe fight, I'd go with Bond, but in a darkened warehouse with hideyholes and random stuff lying around to use as weaponary, I'd go with Mason.

Now for Conan against Dutch. Naturally, with weapons it would be all about the special forces Major. But hand to hand? Tough one. Dutch would undoubtedly have a firm grasp of military hand to hand combat, but Conan was a death fighter for years. Plus he's a classically trained swordsman. If the battle were face to face, unarmed, it would be close. I suppose it would come down to where they fought. If they fought in Conan's desert plains, he'd win. If they fought in a Jungle, Dutch would win. Of course, any kind of technology element and the big soldier would be laughing.

How about this one... Danny DeVito in Throw Momma from the Train against Ronnie Corbett from The Two Ronnies... who would win that sub 5' battle?
