Ultimate Action Hero

According to the Live Search poll, if you combine the brains of Indiana and Jason Bourne with the bodies of Bond and Rambo and top it off with John McClane’s catchphrase you’ll have the ultimate action hero:

· 32% believe Indy and Jason Bourne are the most intelligent action heroes, beating Bond (21%) and Mission Impossible’s Ethan Hunt (9%)

· James Bond and Rambo share the title of ‘best body’ with 27% of votes, muscling out Indiana (19%) and Jason Bourne (17%)

· 31% voted John McClane’s 'Yipee-ki-yay' as the best catch phrase of all time, with Crocodile Dundee’s 'That’s not a knife. This is a knife' in second place (30%), followed by Bond’s 'Shaken not stirred' (18%) and Indiana’s 'Don’t call me Junior' with (15%)%

Paul Stoddart, Live Search UK Senior Product Manager, says: 'With the new Indy flick, ‘Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ out this week, we wanted to give movie fans the chance to tell us who their favourite action hero is and it’s no surprise Indy tops the list.

'He is one of cinema’s everyman heroes and since the last time he rode off into the sunset in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," we’ve all been dying to see his return.
