10 Toughest Movie Heroes Ever
3. Rama - The Raid
At what point was this guy ever a "rookie"? Well, according to the first Raid movie; Rama was the fresh-faced newbie in the SWAT team that went into the heart of a tower block going after crime lord Tama Riyadi.
When all hell breaks loose and the apartment building becomes a literal house of horrors, Rama graduates to one of the last cops standing and unleashes his expert fighting skills on the unknowing gangsters.
Rama's abilities are remarkable beyond our very eyes on screen. As a fighter, he's one of the most capable and resourceful brawlers to hit the big screen; the speed and brutality of his strikes were like never before seen, and when backed into a corner his desperation for survival drives him to use all the buffalo when it comes to his martial arts talents.
Perhaps what puts Rama so high on this list more than anything else is his resilience when engaged in a scrap. Between nail-biting prison brawls and toe-curling showdowns, Rama was never disheartened or scared into submission by his opponents.
As a man driven by duty, there is an unflinching moral code to Rama that compels him to complete his mission; whether it be protecting his fellow officers in his very own Die Hard, or uncover a conspiracy of police corruption, and if someone waving hammers, baseball bats or machetes gets in his way, Rama will at least give them fair warning to step aside.
