My initial response is that I refuse to choose.
Lee and Norris were both legit martial arts masters away from the cameras.
Bronson was a WWII vet and purple heart recipient.
Eastwood served but didn’t see combat. Wiki says was in a bomber that crashed off the coast of California and he swam 2 miles. That’s cool I guess.
Chuck Norris (along with Rambo) was my hero in childhood, but I can’t say any of his roles appeal much to me today. So not him.
I get fascinated by Lee’s Hong Kong movies if one is put in front of me, but I don’t seek his movies out. Not him.
Clint Eastwood is always the boss on screen.
But I actually believe Charles Bronson when he plays a hitman or a vigilante. He’s wasn’t acting. He killed people for fun when not in front of the camera and ate their souls.
Bronson. I vote for Bronson. Recently I rewatched the original Mechanic and appreciated it a lot.

I thought this was going to be about forum members.

Looking back I would argue Charles Bronson films were inspirations for the John Wick and Bourne movies. A one man army.

Bronson seemed to be a genuine tough guy

How many 44 magnums did Clint sell? I'm betting thousands and thousand.
