Dolph Lundgren, -Never heard of him

Jean Claude Van Damme -He ruined street fighter, he is not allowed to be in movies anymore so says I

Steven Seagal -I fear hes past his prime most of his movies lately have been low budget movies, and he is not as quick as he use to be.

There are no action stars, not like the old days... no one will be able to replace bruce willis, jackie Chan, Arnold, rambo ;p, or really any of the other repeating action stars...

I think we will have to just accept the Scientology's approved movies from now on.

We also had Chuck Norris...who can still kick some A$$!!!

My vote is for Milla Jovovich or Paul Walker

Milla is not new but I think she is still a cool action star! "Big Bada Boom!" Star.

I think gone are the days where action movie stars all have to be muscle and no acting chops. These days people are all clamoring for more story, more action etc. You can't sell a movie unless the person can act and with budgets skyrocketing, studios all want that bankable star to guarantee success and returns.

Look at the past 15 years and most of these guys never won an Oscar or will win one. Now everyone who stars in one has either won one or got nominated for one. I miss the days of mindless violence and non actors.

Which is why even for roles, people want that actor/actress. Never a mindless mound of muscle. Go read some of the topic discussions for Wonder Women, and other superhero movies and you realize that most people want real actors. Not someone that looks the role even though they would be a perfect match. If they can't act, don't cast them.

And my little tid bit to this discussion: Tony Jaa.
