Can anyone think of any previous 77 year old action heros?


Ford will be about 77 if Indy 5 gets made as scheduled. Has there ever even been an action hero in film that age? I'm kind of doubtful that Indiana jones could be able to perform spectacular stunts at that age but if anyone can pull it off, harrison Ford can. If a plane crash cant take him down, then nothing can.

Charles Bronson was still active at that age but gave it up at 78, after hip replacement surgery. Danny Trejo is about Ford's age and is still active. Christopher Lee was 80 in 2002 when he played Count Dooku. He lived to 93. Of course, Ford does not have to perform the stunts; he must however convince us that he could.

Ford had never done all of his own stunts, but I'm sure that he would want to do at least a few of them for Indy 5. He does take care of himself and tries to stay in shape so I guess it is possible for him to do at least some of his own stunts.

I'm a big Harrison Ford fan, and Indiana Jones is sincerely my favourite Action Hero.

What I found very difficult to swallow whilst watching Crystal Skull is that 70 year old Indy performed stunts that 35 year old Indy could not perform. That whole movie was cartoony as sh3t and really lost me...

Most would agree that crystal skull should never have been made and the South Park guys had it right when they implied that Spielberg and Lucas were to blame for all that was wrong with the film. This will most likely be the lady Indy woman h Harrison ford so I really hope it doesn't get screwed up.

I meant last Indy film Harrison will be in. Stupid autocorrect

reply

"likely be the lady Indy woman" actually I think the autocorrect was right. It's likely to be Hollywood's next move.
