15 Most Bad-Ass Teams In Movie History

12. The 300 Spartans

The Fellowship Of The Ring
Warner Bros.

Only a nation bred solely for battle would think it was a good idea to take on an entire army with just 300 men. That being said, King Leonidas and his fellow 299 Spartans make a hell of a go at it in Zack Snyder's violent, hyper-stylized comic book actioner.

As close-knit a group of warriors as you're likely to find on the big screen, the Spartans are incredibly dedicated to their king, not to mention incredibly proficient in the art of war. Using battle formations, ingenious tactics and rock hard abs, the 300 hold off the Persian army for a lot longer than an army clad only in helmets and underpants have any right to.

Dialing the ye-olde bad-assery way past eleven, Leonidas and company decimate wave after wave of enemies, severing both heads and limbs with consummate ease until they finally succumb to the Persian onslaught, dying the glorious death that every Spartan solider hopes for.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
