cormd Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Had this argument with a few friends and family recently and I was shocked to find that concensus was farily split 50/50. These guys were in their prime a bit before my time but I've seen a lot of their movies and to me it's McQueen no doubt about it. What do my fellow villans think?

Villaninireland Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Steve McQueen without a doubt. Paul Newman makes salad dressings now ffs. Somehow couldnt see McQueen doing that if he was still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Boy thats not even close McQueen by an absolute mile. But as Villaninirland says it sort of helps McQueen died younger. Sort of the same with Lennon and McCartney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 McQueen for the pure fact that he stared in the Great Escape , one of my all time favourites . Motorbike chase was superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RantinRob Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'd go for Steve, simply because he was buddies with Dennis Wilson, they used to go motorbiking together apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSEVillain Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Steve McQueen is cooler, but Paul Newman - the real life man, not the Hollywood image - is the type of guy I strive to be. And don't forget that all Newman's Own profits go to charities helping disabled kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Steve McQueen drove large parts of the Bullit car scene. And most of the motorcycle riding was done in the Great Escape by him as well. Oh, and if you look carefully, the motorcycle he steels is an ancient pre war BMW. side valve job. As he jumps over the wall, it mysterioiusly turns into a Triumph Bonneville.
