Tag Line: Tequila Sunsilk Mad Mel's barnet may be looking a bit ropey these days but way back when it was the deadliest mullet around in one of the greatest cop actioners ever made. The plot of the film revolves around Mel's hair teaming up with Danny Glover to investigate the death of an old friends daughter only to stumble upon a larger crime involving Gary Busey's slick back blond yuppie cut. Who wins? No contest. Mullet One. Slick Back Nil.
1. Kurt Russell - Tango & Cash (1989)
Tag Line: Comb Overboard In at number one is the quintessential action haircut. The 'Kurt' is so ubiquitous you can find it on show in (take a deep breathe) Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China, Overboard, Tango & Cash, Captain Ron, Escape From L.A, Breakdown, 3000 Miles To Graceland, Vanilla Sky, Dark Blue and Deathproof to name but a few. The 'Kurt' has been on show for over 25 years and here's hoping the man who adheres to the hairdressing code of 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' continues for another 25 years. We salute you Kurt Russell and your amazing, luxurious bouffant seen in all its glory in Tango & Cash. That's the list done, we hope you enjoyed it. Please let us know in the comments section below which action movie mullets you think should have made the list.
