Liam Neeson currently outdoes Chuck Norris on a "Bad A**" Scale

"Chuck Norris is getting too old & overrated." I would like to counter this with saying that I believe Liam Neeson is not only getting too old (he is age 60 and nearing retirement http://en.wikipedia.org...) but also overrated considering that it was nearly impossible for me not to see blasted on a billboard anywhere "Taken 2" when it was the craze and in fact virtually all his movies, and he himself has head-over-heels fans making sites such as this http://tinyurl.com... all over the internet. "Liam Neeson has played more "Bad A**" roles on television (I will only name movies from 1990 to today)" A Bada$$ scale is a measure of quality, not quantity. An unfortunately, other than Star Wars and Batman Liam Neeson's movies has rather pathetic, artificial fighting compared to the brutal martial-art fuelled action films of Chuck Norris. Let me name all of Chuck Norris' movies one by one. http://www.imdb.com... 2012 The Expendables 2Booker 2005 The CutterJohn Shepherd 2005 Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire (TV movie)Capt.

Dawes 1974Slaughter in San Francisco Chuck Slaughter / Chuck Norris 1973The Student Teachers Karate Instructor 1972Way of the Dragon Colt 1968The Wrecking Crew Man in the House of 7 Joys (uncredited) My contentions are as follows: 1. Norris follows his own fighting style while Neeson does nothing more than mimic pre-made CIA styled ones, overused in virtually all modern day secret-agent action movies. http://en.wikipedia.org... Norris created the martial art Chun Kuk Do, which is based primarily on Tang Soo Do and includes elements from every combat style he knows. Like many other martial arts, Chun Kuk Do includes a code of honor and rules to live by. These rules are from Chuck Norris's personal code. They are: I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways. I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements. I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty in my family. I will look for the good in all people and make them feel worthwhile. If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing. I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own. I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness. I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times. I will always remain loyal to my God, my country, family and my friends. I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because that positive attitude helps my family, my country and myself. Like most traditional martial arts, Chun Kuk Do includes the practice of forms (or kata). The majority of the system’s forms are taken from Shotokan, but also includes 1 organization form, and three weapons forms from Isshin Ryu. http://tinyurl.com...

The role that Chuck Norris, consistently plays, is that of an inventive crazy man amongst hugely trained martial artists whilst Neeson merely plays a highly trained assassin against many inexperienced fighting newbies. In basically every single Neeson movie he is almost always an extremely highly trained assassin of some kind who always, for some reason, fights newbies. It's not even in Taken, where this is most blatantly obvious, but in Star Wars (where his defeat is by pure luck of Darth Maul's blade with him, during the whole movie only fighting idiotic droids) but also in Batman, whereby he just happens to be the most highly recognised, feared and well-off fighter of all the villains of Batman Ra's al-Ghul who, for the vast majority of the movie was only fighting amateurs. On the other hand, Chuck Norris in every single one of his movies has been an EXTREMELY out manned, outnumbered or outgunned fighter who gets through by his pure hard-core bada$$ spirit. 3. In all of Chuck Norris' movies the only person to genuinely beat him off was the highest ranked Kung Fu martial artist/actor of all time. Liam Neeson, in both Star Wars and Batman is fought off by a less-ranked fighter.
