"The Pearl and Dean poll of 3,000 people found many feel that Willis set the standard for the 1980s action hero with his role as John McClane in Die Hard, a role he reprised for the fourth time last year."

The roadrunner would like to know what you think about the She-ra thing.
That is just like a woman to manipulate a man. I had a She-ra doll when a got a bit older. My mom finally felt sorry enough for me, that she bought me one. However, my older brother was getting too old by then to play with toys. He had moved on to to geekier things like typing in computer programs from 3-2-1 Contact magazines. My younger brother didn't "make" me play He-man after that. So I never played with my She-ra doll much. I didn't get to watch the series, because we only had 1 channel on TV. Oh, the good old 80's.
The Roadrunner vaguely remembers that He-Man was defeated by She-ra in a fight to the death when she turned evil in a comic book. It was traumatizing to me as a kid because He-Man was a hero of mine and he got beat horribly :-(
That, was an awesome story worthy of a Helpful Answer.
Doctor Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford and crafted by both Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. He is a adventurous OSS agent (predecessor of CIA), a Professor in Archaeology and a Treasure Hunter.
Indiana Jones - A charming great action hero that embodied bravery, intelligence, good humor and entertaining all into one. Not many action heroes have all these ingredients to make them last for decades.
All the following three Indiana Jones' films were entertaining blockbuster movies in the 80s:
-Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

According to the Chinese calendar, 1940 was the Year of the Dragon. A Cantonese film actor named Lee Hoi Chun was performing in San Francisco accompanied by his pregnant wife Grace. By November, Grace had gone into labour and was taken to hospital, but her husband continued on to New York to perform there. On the 27th of November, 1940, at the Jackson Street hospital, Grace gave birth to a baby boy. He was named Lee Jun Fan, which meant "To Return Again". The child would return to his place of birth someday. The doctor attending the arrival gave the child the English name Bruce... And the legend was born !!
At the age of 6, Bruce started to appear in numerous Chinese films. His first film was called "A beginning of a boy." As he made more films it was decided that he should star in a film with his father. The film was called "My Son Ah Cheun". Bruce had a bigger role than his father. In each film he played a problem child, always stealing and fighting. He made at least 20 of these Cantonese films including "Black Boy Jungle" and "Boys on the Street".
When Bruce was 14, he got beaten up in a street fight. So, after discussing the matter with his mother he decided to learn martial arts and develop his physique and self defense abilities.
Most people think that Bruce was born muscular. It was actually totally the opposite; he was always rather frail as a child and never ate well even when he returned to the U.S in 1958. Only through constant training and proper eating did he build himself up into the super-human physical specimen that he was to become. Bruce was never to lose a single fight ever again!!
Although his father had him wielding a sword at 6, his first REAL teacher was the Wing Chun master, Sifu Yip Man. Bruce became obsessed with the whole concept of Wing Chun and soon became very good. One of the Wing Chun training methods was the wooden dummy - A training device which builds both speed and focus. Another one of his teachers was Siu Hon Sung, a kung fu expert. Bruce had been learning Cha Cha dancing and offered to trade his knowledge of it for some of his kung fu lessons. It would normally take 3 weeks to learn 30 kung fu moves, but Bruce mastered them in only 3 nights. Siu Hon Sung never did learn any Cha Cha!
In 1958 Bruce became the Hong Kong Cha Cha champion. He then made 2 more Cantonese films, "The Orphan" and "Thunderstorm". Thunderstorm is the only film where he didn't have a single fight, although there are certain confrontations.
