48. Mötley Crüe

The next choice generated more debate from us in terms of their genre and not so much in terms of the band itself. Mötley Crüe was one of the many Metal bands to come out of L.A., but they were likely the band most closely associated with Hair Metal, and the debate we had is just how worthy that genre is.

Tommy Lee

So how many of you clicked here expecting to see a well-endowed Heavy Metal drummer? Here is guessing that the producers of “Best of the Best” were Motley Crue fans, but we also wager that they watched a lot of early Chinese Kung Fu films where the hero avenges the death of his father/teacher/brother or whoever.

This is what we have here, where Tommy (again not the drummer) avenges his brother who died in a Tae Kwon Do match against a Korean opponent, and oh who cares? It is a shallow role, (which gets shallower with each sequel) and it doesn’t matter because there is a lot of fighting, which is all anyone wants to see. That could be enough for a few votes here…especially since Frank Dux doesn’t qualify.

The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Best of the Best (1989)
Best of the Best 2 (1993)
Best of the Best 3 (1996)
Best of the Best 4 (1998)

Actor:
Phillip Rhee

Played for:
U.S.A.

Why you should vote for him:
There are very few Martial Arts nominees here.

Why you should not vote for him:
Seriously, couldn’t they come up with a better (not metal) name for the guy?
