Character Cage Match: Lt. Aldo Raine vs. Tyler Durden (Tarantino Week Edition)

ccm_aldorainetylerdurden

Welcome to the fifth and final WAMG Character Cage Match, in honor of Quentin Tarantino’s newest film INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. This final match of the week-long fight card is the Main Event, putting the fan favorite Hollywood star Brad Pitt in the ring against his imaginary self, vying for the coveted heavy-weight Cage Match Championship.

Brad Pitt has given us many great characters. In this epic Cage Match, we witness two characters brought to life by Pitt, each of them equally crazy and fearless and driven by violence. Lt. Aldo Raine of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS is the commanding officer of a rag-tag team of military misfits, given the choice of serving their sentence or serving their country. Tyler Durden of FIGHT CLUB is a psychotic uninhibited madman, the founder of the underground Fight Club sensation that swept and nation looking for an alternative to the humdrum corporate suburban lifestyle and completely a figment of The Narrator (Ed Norton).

Fighting out of the left corner, the challenger Lt Aldo Raine stands determined and ready to have a good ole time beating the crap out of his opponent, just like he does to those no-good Naatzi bad guys he’s been enlisted by Allied forces to kill on sight. Lt. Aldo Raine may be reckless and perhaps enjoys his work a little too much, but one thing’s for sure… he takes scalping his enemies seriously!

Fighting out of the right corner, the reigning king of chaos Tyler Durden stands pumped up and itching to throw down with his opponent. Durden is skilled in bare-knuckle boxing and all-around no-holds-bar fighting. The first rule of this Cage Match bout is… there are NO rules! Anyone who chooses to challenge Tyler Durden should be prepared for the worst, because there’s no tapping out of this match.

Tyler Durden is best movie character in film…

Empire is making lists like your mom makes your breakfast in the morning, and this time they did the “100 Greatest Movie Characters” and my favorite movie character tops the list… Tyler Durden! I know that some people will throw a fit over this pick, I can see why. However I absolutely love it and think its a well deserving character. Here is their reasoning behind his pick as #1:

Why He’s On The List: Tyler Durden is not a nice man. He’ll pee in your soup, sleep with your girl, make soap out of your fat and bombs out of your soap, and beat you to a pulp. And yet he’s just been voted, against all the odds, the greatest movie character of all time. In truth, it’s not hard to see why – for Durden, as created by Brad Pitt, encapsulates that old saying about Bond, “men want to be him, women want to bed him” more perfectly than perhaps even Bond. He’s effortlessly stylish, unshakeably cool, and dangerously charismatic. He’s a rock star god, a natural-born leader, a trend-setter. He is unrestrained id, he is a monster, he is the very image of modern man (or at least how modern man would like to see himself). He looks like what you want to like, he fucks like you want to fuck, and he is an utterly indelible creation. No. 1? He deserves it, and then some.

Here are some others that round out the top 25:

1. Tyler Durden – Fight Club
2. Darth Vader – the Star Wars hexology
3. The Joker – The Dark Knight
4. Han Solo – the Star Wars hexology
5. Hannibal Lecter – the Hannibal Lecter series
6. Indiana Jones – the Indiana Jones trilogy (yeah, I said trilogy)
7. The Dude – The Big Lebowski
8. Captain Jack Sparrow – the Pirates of the Caribean series
9. Ellen Ripley – the Alien series
10. Vito Corleone – The Godfather
11. James Bond – the James Bond series
12. John McClane – the Die Hard series
13. Gollum – the Lord of the Rings trilogy
14. The Terminator – the Terminator series
15. Ferris Bueller – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
16. Neo – the Matrix trilogy
17. Hans Gruber – Die Hard
18. Travis Bickle – Taxi Driver
19. Jules Winnfield – Pulp Fiction
20. Forrest Gump
21. Michael Corleone – the Godfather trilogy
22. Ellis “Red† Redding – The Shawshank Redemption
23. Harry Callahan – the Dirty Harry series
24. Ash – the Evil Dead trilogy
25. Yoda – the Star Wars hexology

I think Ash is rated way to low, and Neo way to high but that is just my opinion..tell me what you guys think.
