Nuke, if you really want someone to read/watch something, why in the world do you spoil the thing? Not cool, man, not cool. :|

It's not that big of a spoiler, it happens fairly early on and I didn't go into any details.
And If you are talking about Hokuto No Ken, I did warn ya.

Sorry for off-topic, but you seem to say this as if raping women is a macho manly thing that cool macho men do. I disapprove. Women must be treated with respect and dignity!
I kinda blew it so.


Fixed.

No worries UFO. It's just my personal touchy subject. Killing people ain't so cool either, it's funny how we select our peeves. I was oversensitive since the topic is about fiction, after all.

Anyway, I should make a contribution to the actual topic.

How about the "There is nothin' like a dame" passage in the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical South Pacific? It's so manly, it's almost homo-erotic.

The man has a point. Ryu Hayabusa maybe a badass and all but he has an extreme disregard for human life. Did he even try to cure the fiends he saw, even after finding out they were once human? Nope they are in his way and they die.

What about the innocent people on that train that Ryu caused the destruction of? How about the people on that blimp that got destroyed when he fought Dynamo? It seems like Ryu only gives a crap about you if you are blonde and have big boobs. Not cool.

That'd be more like "Why Can't a Woman be More Like a Man" from My Fair Lady :P

I don't remember that other song...hmm...I've seen both on stage too.

The handshake in Predator.

And hell yeah, Predator is more manly than Commando. Although Arnold's strength in that movie was pretty overstated.
