Tough one.............Steve doing the jump over the fence in the dirty dozen was very cool considering the machine he had to use, and doing it himself without a stunt double.

Paul Newman, very cool, especially for donating all of the proceeds from his salad dressings to charity. I think his daughter is continuing to run the philanthropy?

BTW, the dirty dozen was a Hollywood version of the actual squad called the Filthy 13. One of the members was Jake McNeese. I knew him personally. He has a book out there.

Sadly the Bad Ass MO FO passed away last year.

Cool Hand Luke.

I love Steve McQueen, he was definitely a cool dude, BUT Newman was a better person.

That said, The Great Escape will forever be one of the greatest movies of all time.

Ok, Its been awhile and I'm confused. Did Steve jump the fence in the dirty dozen or the great escape?
