Top 10 Heroes For a Comeback

John McLane, Indiana Jones, Rambo, Rocky. Old action heroes are blowing off the cobwebs of their greatest roles. They have met mixed reaction, but thus far I have enjoyed them. There is still some on the way like Van Damme and Lundgren returning to Universal Soldier. I would love to see more so I made a list of 10 heroes I want to blow off the cobwebs and go for a Round 2 with the original actors and continuity involved rather than rebooting/remaking the crap out of everything.

10. Topper Harley (Hot Shots series)
Who better to lampoon the comebacks of other action movies, than Charlie Sheen as Topper Harley, the greatest action hero spoof (at least in my opinion).

9. David Dunn (Unbreakable)
This movie is a way earlier than the rest, but I would really love to see this get a second chapter. Hell yeah, it has a high potential for failure, but there's no shame in trying (right?).

8. Goonies (Goonies)
All of the original actors have gone on to new things. Some have bailed on Hollywood, some are still struggling, and some are Josh Brolin. Still I think it would be interesting to see them return and go on another adventure. Kind of a City Slickers style mid life crisis spearheaded by Mikey. Maybe this time they can actually the giant squid.

7. Ashley J Williams (Evil Dead series)
If "Burn Notice" has taught me anything its that Bruce Campbell still kicks ass despite being older, pudgier, and possibly more cynical than he once was. But the Bruce is still full of wit and charm, and I think both if Raimi can get his crap together and direct something that isn't Spiderman or produce something that isn't a J-horror remake, they could make a great grassroots horror flick

6. Popeye Doyle (French Connection)
I hate to say it, but Gene Hackman seems to have fallen from grace. The guy isn't getting the high profile goods anymore although he has shined in some noteworthy indies (Royal Tenenbaums anyone). But to make it up to all of us for Welcome to Mooseport and Heartbreakers, he should beat the streets to see if anyones picking their feet in Poughkeepsie.

5. Axel Foley (Beverly Hills Cop series)
The third one sucked and Eddie Murphy hasn't done anything of any worth except for Dreamgirls which is already kind of forgotten. Murphy has kept in pretty incredibly shape it seems, and he could definitely make a comeback if they stick to the intensity and humor of the first one. That is be funny but take your self seriously, i.e. Not I, Spy.

4. Snake Plisken (Escape From.....)
Escape From Earth. That was the proposed title for a third Snake flick made by Russel and Carpenter. Why isn't this happening? The two of them arn't really doing anything. Carpenter in particular needs a hit after Ghosts of Mars and deserves one after making superior "Master of Horror" episodes.

3. Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry series)
I thought Gran Torino would be a Dirty Harry flick. Watching Gran Torino, it might as well have been Dirty Harry (except that he had kids and a love of his life). To think that Gran Torino is Eastwood's last acting gig, it is unfortunate that there is no more Dirty Harry

2. Roger Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)
Come on! Who doesn't? Who Framed Roger Rabbit is such a gem, and I still cannot believe they never made another one. In fact, a prequel was planned, with toons being draftedfor WWII and Roger meeting Jessica, who was a radio host who wasn't so HOT! But Spielberg had just done Schindler's List and did not want to comically villify the Nazis anymore. Hence no Indiana Jones until a Cold War error.

1. Max Rockatansky (Mad Max series)
The third one was not that great. But 1 and especially 2 were fantastic. Good old fashioned filmmaking. If only Mel would do it. He says he is too old, but he has done plenty of movies with at least mid-level action in it since Lethal Weapon 4 yet he keeps refering to LW4 as a "painful experience." Plus Fury Road is a badass title.
