Bruce Willis in Die Hard swinging from the side of a skyscraper (while barefoot, no less) firing a machine gun into the window just before he crashes through.
The truck chase scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Or pretty much, you know, the whole movie.
You can’t beat Clint Eastwood for manliness.
NSFW (language) link to clip from “Gran Torino”. “Get off my lawn” indeed.
The Hidden Fortress The speeder bike, I mean horse chase and then the duel with spears. Manly Man stuff.
Of course the 300 was just a little too manly.
John Wayne has many.
Can’t beat Conan. The screenwriter stole it from a Howard short story (“A Witch Shall Be Born”), but it was still cool.
A crucified Conan, half dead from hunger, thirst, and exposure after being nailed to a tree and left to die a lingering death in the hot sun, is not quite as helpless as he seems:
Didn’t see that, but it reminds me of the scene from “Ronin,” where DeNiro supervises the treatment of his own gunshot wound.
Arnold Schwarzenegger singlehandedly taking down a small army in Commando.
Napoleon Dynamite, complimenting Pedro on his “sweet ride.” It dripped with testosterone.
Yeager!
Yeah. I withdraw my gratuitous comedy post (Dreyfuss Cup) to second this.

“Here’s looking at you kid.”
This is what I thought of along with Audie Murphy’s Hang on a minute and I will let you talk with them line which is double bad because it is from real life.
Hard to beat the duke, but Clint does come close several times with Get off my lawn,and I know what you are thinking…(note Harry continuing to chew his hot dog through the scene)
Or how about the beginning of the film, with Arnold just strolling back to his cabin, chainsaw in one hand, tree trunk in the other.
Ennis fastens the top button of Jack’s shirt, and with tears in his eyes mutters, “Jack, I swear…” while straightening the postcard of Brokeback Mountain, before closing the door and walking away.
Fight scene from The Knockaround Guys.
Good flick,too.
The 13th Warrior is a patently ridiculous (albeit enormously fun) movie, but it features perhaps the manliest death sceneI’ve ever seen. Kill your enemy, sit down, stick your sword in the ground, die.
Liam Neeson, in the final duel of ROB ROY.
The rise of Keyser Soze from The Usual Suspects:
“They realized that to be in power, you didn’t need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn’t.”
Here’s the link, about 0:40 in.
