Neeson or Butler to the rescue?

Just thinking, watched Butler rescue someone yesterday and today Neeson is doing some brave rescuing. I think Butler, dh wants Neeson.

Butler. closely followed by Nick Cage and Samuel L Jackson

OneFrenchEgg · 19/06/2022 20:33

I'm not sure I have evidence of them having special rescue skills? Neeson goes without saying and Butler has all the Angel stuff as his CV if I had to pick.

Hmm I'm torn.. Have loved Neeson since A Woman Of Substance... Fell in love with Butler after watching Dear Frankie (if you haven't seen it.. Its amazing!!)
Think I will go with Butler!

Neeson, but only because Butler is talking more and more out of only one corner of his mouth and neither Mads Mikkelsen or Clive Standen are on your list.

Could I have Timothy Dalton instead? Prettiest of all pleases 🙏

If they are accomplished rescuers they can be added. I did notice the side mouth thing actually last night. Neeson however has just managed half a road before giving up...might be waiting for a long time to be rescued.

I've looked him up and he did track down a KGB agent in the living daylights so he can be added to the list of search and rescue options.
Remember: don't confuse this with who you'd shag, it's who will rescue you based on a proven ability to find people.

Butler

Chikapu · 19/06/2022 20:55

Butlers ludicrous side mouth, all over the place accent and general ickiness would have me shooing him away to take my chances with the bad guys. Not a fan of Neeson either.
I would not complain if Chris Pine had me beamed out of a sticky situation though.

Can I have Jason Fox please 😁

NeverDropYourMooncup · 19/06/2022 21:22

Pacino circa 1973 or Stallone c.1976 for me, ta very much.

I'd make an exception for Schwartzenegger c.1984-6, Snipes as Blade, Elba, Thorin Oakenshield (not the actor as he looks like a public sector accountant when not waving around a Dwarfish battleaxe with a air of brooding bearded pride) and I'd make a noble sacrifice and valiantly accept Chris Evans or Hemsworth at the time of filming for Marvel.

I'm wearing Google out checking if these are just people you lot fancy or if they actually are capable of rescuing you, should you be kidnapped.

JF is most definitely capable even without stunt doubles, stunt coordinators, director, lighting, sound, writers.........

Grin back to google. I strongly suspect some of you don't want just to be rescued but are anticipating some extras.

Ellen Ripley, thank you.

dubyalass · 19/06/2022 23:00

Henry Cavill as Superman please. Or just as Henry Cavill.

Somanymistakes · 19/06/2022 23:00

Don't we get a post rescue shag afterwards?

Because no doubt I'd be looking all rosy cheeked and tousle haired and breathless after the rescue. Then we would fall into a passionate embrace that turned into a superb shag.

Neeson. Anyway.

Rumoured to be blessed in certain departments, not just at rescues.

Dear Frankie is amazing. He's really sexy in that. Kid is fab.

Pacino - he'd have my kidnapper sleeping with the fishes within about twenty minutes. And access to an amazing place near Corleone as long as I didn't try driving.

Stallone - definitely rescued lots of people.

Arnie - same. And if he didn't succeed first time, he'd definitely be back.

I've changed my mind.

I want to be rescued by Henry Cavill as The Witcher Smile

avamiah · 20/06/2022 02:00

I just love Liam Neeson, love his look and his accent and what’s not to like about him.lol

Oizys · 20/06/2022 02:05

Bodyguard Costner

Bonabee · 20/06/2022 02:09

Stallone

custardbear · 20/06/2022 02:55

Keanu can save me please 🥰

Tezza1 · 20/06/2022 03:26

@SpinningRoundRightRound You're completely right: Ellen Ripley is one of the most believable, credible, resource full rescue as you would ever come across.

At her best, Sigourney Weaver could be teriffic.
