Top 10 Action Movie Physiques

Movie-Muscle-(LEAD)

Check out our list of the most memorable muscles ever to grace the silver screen and be sure to let us know your film favorites!

4. Dolph Lundgren – Rocky IV (1985)

Dolph Lundgren

Standing 6’5” tall and weighing 245 pounds of solid muscle, Drago looked like a Soviet mad scientist’s genetic experiment gone wrong. At one point during filming, Lundgren accidentally hit Stallone for real, putting him in the hospital for four days with swelling around his heart.

3. Jean-Claude Van Damme – Bloodsport (1987)

Jean-Claude Van Damme

Bloodsport made JCVD a household name the world over. Not only was he ripped to shreds but he displayed a level of athleticism not typically associated with western action stars. Today, at 51 years of age, the “Muscles from Brussels” continues to train intensely and claims he’s just as flexible as he was 25 years ago.

    Three guys I believe had better bodies than almost all these guys you mentioned. 1) William Smith (CC & Comp), 2) Gordon Scott (Tarzan), 3) Clint Walker (Cheyenne).

    This list is tired and should have been retired 10 years ago. There is no way that Stallone looked better in R3 than he did in the last Rambo or even in the Expendables.In fact guys like Terry Crews and even Andrew Bryniarski have brought it numerous times and are left out. With the exception of Statham, this list could have been written in ’95

    We appreciate the suggestions guys. When we compiled the list, we also took into consideration the significance of the roles the actors played. Terry Crewes and Andrew Bryniarski are definitely in great shape but they really haven’t played an iconic type of character. That being said, Gordon Scott is a great suggestion and a role we’ll definitely consider if we do a follow up list. Thanks for reading!

    Wow. No Woody Strode? Mike Henry? Miles O’Keeffe? And for the record, Carl Weathers always had a better physique than Stallone.
