Live Poll: The International Godfathers of Action

Intro:

There are actors that did quite a good job on the action genre. They are icons in their own way of being a action movie star. Their movies claim cult status. No matter if it's about war, man to man combat, scince fiction or what ever - all of them are known for their work. Which of these well trained muscle packed fellows is your lead actioner? Give us the gym results here.

Rules:

The action icon should be a actioner since years, no superhero or supervillain movie, there are 5 movies to be named for the action icons' filmography, no less, no more, exact 5 ! It should somehow fit to the other icons.

Steven Seagal maybe. But I looked for Reb Brown. You're kidding on me, hm?
No!

Well, I wasn't really kidding, but to us weirdos who like terrible B movies, he is a classic action star.  Maybe I should do a separate poll for that.  :D
I think Seagal is reeeeaaaaaaaalllllllly cheesy, but that's why I like him.  ;)

mihailo.razvigor is right. This is a very manly poll. But I'm no macho or chauvinist. There can be a ladies poll as well, so please do one. Or should I do? I wonder, if there is a term like "Godmother" in English language.

Since it is your original idea, you should do it. You can/should also ask an editor to merge them both once you've created the list.

First issue: Yes! I'll do this list with joy.
Second issue: No. I don't want these two lists get merged.

No, no, I didn't mean to merge the lists. I meant you should add the new list to this very conversation. If that's okay with you.

Edit: I've seen users put multiple poll suggestions in a single conversation.

Changed the title to:
"The International Godfathers of Action"
From this point on no more american or asien characters!
African, European, South-American and Australian godfathers, please!
This is a smart change of the idea for a gentleman's agreement. :D

That didn't mean no Americans. Americans are international, too.

Just no further suggestions about American Godfathers. I'm not dumb.

Below is one small suggested edit to the intro (in bold):

They are icons in their own way of being an action movie star.


I'd also suggest leaving out  "Their movies claim cult status" because some of these films are much too popular and well-known to be considered a cult film.
