Tom Atkins wasn't muscle bound like Schwarzenegger or Stallone, in fact the closest actors I would compare him to would be Kurt Russel or Bruce Willis, who reperesented the average guy kicking ass. In this movie he was the average guy kicking ass, getting the girl and he did it with a sweet mustache, you don't see an average dude like Tom Atkins in 2016, fronting movies these days,

Hell yeah! Tom Atkins is a man's man. Not like the leading male actors today who look like they've struggled to pass through puberty and can only
dream of growing a stache like Tom Atkins lol!

That's because casting Tom Atkins as a leading man was a failed experiment. Atkins is a character actor, and for good reason.
