Movies Kurt Russell vs Mel Gibson

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Oof, this is a hard one. Mel Gibson strikes me as a bit of an asshole irl, so I’d rather vote for Kurt Russell, but gun to my head I think I need to go with Mel Gibson over Kurt Russell. As much as I love so many of Kurt’s roles and movies, I don’t think his body of work and roles can compare with the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max movies.

Fuck you!

Kurt Russell takes it but Mel is a god as well just not as high as Kurt.

I voted Mel but I like Kurt better.

I think Kurt barely takes this but I can't put my finger on exactly why. Rough choice.

A fake Aussie is nothing compared to Jack Burton!

Ignoring crazy shit, I feel like Mel is more badass.

Not ignoring crazy shit it is Mel by a landslide

kurt russell is the man and should have been in way more movies in the modern era.

I went with Russell but it's basically splitting hairs. Both are all time greats.

Voting Kurt. But Braveheart????

Mel Gibson would win by anti-Semitic rant.

I actually prefer Kurt as an actor, but have enjoyed Mels films more.

Man...I say Mel by a hair. It's so close I could change my mind tomorrow.

Good thread topic.

I feel like I am 180 on this, thus I could go either way. Mel gets the critical acclaim but Kurt has the more legendary roles.

I do think Kurt overall has the better roles for sure. Been in a more diverse grouping of films as well. In saying that....hes never had a role as prominent or a movie as epic as Mel did with Braveheart. Hes also never had a hit film franchise like Lethal Weapon.

I do think Mel is a better director than he is an actor, outside of a few choice roles.

Pretty sure Kurt has no Martin Riggs, William Wallace, or Max Rockatansky.

I picked Mel Gibson, but this is very close. Tough pick.
