John Bindon

"Biffo" used to use a club I went to (The Living Room) in Notting hill and took great delight in showing of his enormous todger. 18-20" claimed I would not disagree with that claim and never asked him if he would like it measured!!

Audie was the bravest, no doubt about that.

But the hardest was Richard Egan.

Hi Micchell (C) I am a fan of Richard Egan. 300 Spartans was a great hard man role, but playing Elvis Presley's older brother in LMT, and Pollyanna, take the edge off of the hard man image for me

Hi Foxy, just seen your post. I've read a fair bit about Egan. He used to train soldiers in unarmed combat so he must have been mega tough.

Good call on Bindon, nasty piece of work, but according to George Swewll he had the fastest right hand he ever saw.

Bruce Lee was not an actor who took up martial arts so he - and others who only got into films due to hardman reputations - should not count shouldn't count imo

Robert Mitchum and Marlon Brando were notorius for breaking people's jaws etc

Audie Murphy, below is just one of the many incredibly brave actions he undertook. BEATS 10 F**KING PRESS UPS ANY DAY

Medal of Honor citation
The official U.S. Army citation for Audie Murphy's Medal of Honor reads:[1][9]
Rank and organization: Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company B 15th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division.
Place and date: Near Holtzwihr France, January 26, 1945.
Entered service at: Dallas, Texas. Birth: Hunt County, near Kingston, Texas, G.O. No. 65, August 9, 1944.
Citation: Second Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by six tanks and waves of infantry. 2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to a prepared position in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. 2d Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire, which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad that was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued his single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way back to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack, which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50. 2d Lt. Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction, and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective.[1][9]
