Anton over Leon?

not a chance

All reasonable assessments. EXCEPT–

No freaking way would Chigurh take out Leon. Leon takes out an entire roomful of uzi-wielding professional bodyguards, and Anton is never seen going up against more than one person at once. And even then, they’re all unarmed innocent bystanders.

Leon any day of the freaking week, and twice on Sunday. Now Anton vs. Norman Stansfield? There’s your Battle Royale.

Here. I’ll argue for you. Leon kills professionals. Anton kills brainless hick nobodys. Leon would win. Still.

Leon would win. I don’t even have to argue.

Marty Blank vs. Vincent would have been a much better matchup, leaving Bourne to go up against the Jackal. Whose matchup, I might add, was a total crock because the Jackal could easily steamroll Harlan before he even knew he was in a fight. As for Blank v. Vincent, they’re both affable and badass but Blank would probably win fairly easily as Vincent doesn’t seem to do too well when the other guy is shooting back.

Jackal vs. Bourne would be an utterly epic cat-and-mouse showdown–the master of disguise and misdirection against the master of laying low and disappearing into the crowd. I think it would be a draw, too–one of them would retire of die of old age before they managed to actually find each other.

Leon would own Anton, that’s bullshit.

How can Wesley beat 47? 47 would defeat them all, at least the game version would.

Except maybe the T-1000.

In fact seeing this list made me realise how much more of a professional 47 is compared to his fellow assasins.

Where’s Martin Q. Blank? Or did you just leave him off because there would be no contest if he was involved?

The movie really sucked (actually i haven’t seen it but i’m sure it really does), but when it comes to human assassins (as opposed to say the T-1000) that have no superhuman powers (as opposed to that Wanted guy), then it is my belief that nobody can take on 47. No one. Bourne would have a chance though. But the thing is, with 47, you’de be dead before you even know he was coming for you. But Bourne has enough of a sixth sense to sense him coming. Everybody else on this list is an amateur in comparison to those two, though. They would both work their way through this list without breaking a sweat. Well again, not counting the non-human or superhuman ones. Otherwise, the T-1000 would probably kill everyone unless it was standing close to molten lava.

I can’t believe i just wrote that by the way, I am ashamed at the geekiness.
