Same-Actor Showdowns

[Mr._Blinky]

Well, I know that vs. threads have by this point sort of gone the way of the dinosaur, which is fine by me, but I had this idea the other day: what are some good vs. matches between characters played by the same actor?

Some examples:
Jayne Cobb vs. John Casey (Adam Baldwin)
Batman vs. John Preston (Christian Bale)
Ned Stark vs. Boromir (Sean Bean)
Indiana Jones vs. Han Solo (Harrison Ford)

And I do mean good match-ups, not ones that would be utter curb-stomps. I'm pretty sure Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer would kick Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds' ass, no matter how awesome the latter may be. Oooh, which gives me another one:

Caleb vs. Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion)

And note, this really is just for fun, so I'd rather not see this turn into a huge flamewar as so many vs. threads often do. I just think it would be pretty hilarious to see some of these characters fight.:smallsmile:

[Prime32]

If voice actors count...

Hayate Yagami vs. Rin Tohsaka vs. Rachel Alucard (Kana Ueda)
Instrumentality!Rei Ayanami (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWmJfX2AI2Q) vs. Lord of Nightmares!Lina Inverse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGRuhjdo_qM) (Megumi Hayashibara)

[The Glyphstone]

Ebenzer Scrooge vs. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart)?



Though if voice-actors are included:
Joker vs. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill)

[TheFallenOne]

... wow, this is actually a really interesting idea

I'll throw in:
John McClane vs Corben Dallas(Bruce Willis)
Travis Bickle vs Neil McCauley(De Niro)
Leon vs Philippe Roaché(Jean Reno. Hard to be not biased here because of the difference in movie quality)
Any of the two former vs Count Thibault of Malfete. Melee only

Just for giggles I'd like to pit two wheelchaired characters against each other, but can't think of an actor playing more than one. A crippled Picard vs Professor X(melee only) would be hilarious
Sorry if it's offensive to laugh about something like that

[Eddums]

Saruman vs Count Dooku vs Dracula. (Christopher Lee)
Gandalf vs Magneto. (Ian McKellen)
Picard vs Professor X. (Patrick Stewart)
The Doctor vs Hamlet vs Barty Crouch Jnr. (David Tennant)
Han Solo vs Indiana Jones. (Harrison Ford)

More to follow, if I manage to find the time. =P

[Catch]

I'm just going to list the hilarious ones. Mind you, this is voice work.

Luke Skywalker versus The Joker - Mark Hamill
Misc (Baldur's Gate) versus Winne The Pooh - Jim Cummings
Batman versus Macbeth - Kevin Conroy
Raphel (TMNT) versus Morte Rictusgrin (PS:T) - Rob Paulsen
Goliath (Gargoyles) versus Arbiter (Halo) - Keith David

[Tavar]

For voice actors, the better match up is Luke Skywalker vs Fatherlord Firelord Ozai (Mark Hamill).

[Telonius]

Luke Skywalker vs. The Joker (Mark Hamill)
Conan the Barbarian vs. The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger)
Indiana Jones vs. Han Solo (Harrison Ford)

Edit: Ninja'd!

[Kris Strife]

Can it be a battle royal or just one on one matches?

[Eddums]

Misc (Baldur's Gate) versus Winne The Pooh - Jim Cummings


I would pay to see this. I vote for it ending with them joining forces to adminster a righteous kicking to evil. Oh, and Boo gets a friend.

[Kobold-Bard]

Darth Vader vs. Mufasa

John McClane vs. RJ the Raccoon vs. the baby from Look who's talking

Edward Scissorhands vs. The Mad Hatter vs. Willy Wonka vs. etc. etc.

[Catch]

And Grunt in Mass Effect 2.

Also:
Samuel L. Jackson as anyone vs. Samuel L. Jackson as anyone else.
Minsc vs. Hondo Ohnaka (Jim Cummings, even using the same accent)

[pita]

A little bit obscure, but Christopher Reeve:
Jason Kemp vs Kevin Healy
Jason Kemp is the protagonist of Rear Window, a guy who finds himself temporarily in a wheelchair, so he takes pictures of his neighbors. His advantage would be that he has the use of his arms.
Kevin Healy is a paraplegic murderer from The Practice, who kills someone and frames his wife. His main advantage is that he's a sociopath who uses words like "villainous".

[Mando Knight]

Saruman vs Count Dooku vs Dracula. (Christopher Lee)
Saruman and Dooku will survive the second round only to be knocked out within the first few moments of the third. :smalltongue:

Picard vs Professor X. (Patrick Stewart)
Professor X tries to defeat Picard using his psionic powers, but while assaulting the captain's mind, X realizes he and Picard are not very different at all... almost as if they were the same person (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActorAllusion) (:smalltongue:). Then they join forces, bringing the X-Men onto the Enterprise to rescue Borg-assimilated Mutants.

With the actual Sir Patrick Stewart showing up during the Picard/Prof. X fight, and giving the go-humanity speech (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PatrickStewartSpeech) that he made Picard and Prof. X famous for (well, X more famous, anyway...).

[Kobold-Bard]

Indiana Jones vs. Han Solo (Harrison Ford)

Indy uses his whip to disarm Han and then tries to use some random Christian artefact. However Han doesn't believe in religions so he's unaffected, and he throws a steak at Indy and Chewbacca eats him.

Conan the Barbarian vs. The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger)

The Terminator hunts Conan, but watching Conan seduce 1000 women all at once whilst punching a camel overloads his circuits and he blows up.

\/---The awesomepocalypse happens :smallbiggrin:

[Prime32]

Any two characters played by Jackie Chan vs. each other.

[Kneenibble]

Satan vs. Aragorn (Viggo Mortenson)

[Eddums]

Gabriel van Helsing vs Wolverine. (Hugh Jackman)
Abraham van Helsing vs Matthew Hopkins, Witchfinder General. (Anthony Hopkins)

[Cubey]

Norio Wakamoto battle royale.

There will be no survivors.
In the audience.

[jlvm4]

How about Will Turner vs. Legolas? (Orlando Bloom)

[RobertoBlasini]

Sean Connery:
One of his characters vs. any other one

Robert Downey Jr.:
Sherlock Holmes vs. Tony Stark

The last one could be Iron Man or not, in regards to Stark... not sure how fair that one is...

[industrious]

River Tam vs. Cameron Baum

Sweeney Todd vs. Edward Scissorhands

Rorschach vs. Freddy Kruger.

[TheThan]

Allan Quatermane vs James Bond. (Sean Connery)

[Tavar]

Allan Quatermane vs James Bond. (Sean Connery)

I'm confused. Aren't those the same character as well?

[Cubey]

Sweeney Todd vs. Edward Scissorhands


Can we expand this one?

Add more Johnny Depp roles into the mix. Doesn't matter which ones*. Continue until the universe explodes from sheer fabulous.

* Except Ed Wood. Make sure to add him first.

[Thufir]

Simon Templeman - Kain vs. Matthias Pavayne.
Anthony Stewart Head - Nathan Wallace vs. Rupert Giles vs. Mr. Finch.
James Marsters - Spike vs. Captain John Hart.
Zachary Quinto - Spock vs. Sylar.
Robin Atkin Downes - Byron vs. Luxord.
Bruce Boxleitner - John Sheridan vs. Tron.
Frank Oz - Yoda vs. Miss Piggy.

[nosignal]

Green Lantern v. Deadpool is actually one I'd want to see.

Ra's al Ghul v. Qui-gon v. all of Liam Neeson's other "mentor" characters, like that lion.

[Brother Oni]

Wong Fei Hung versus Fong Sai Yuk (Jet Li)

Captain John Sheridan versus Tron (Bruce Boxleitner)

Hercules versus The Incredible Hulk (Lou Ferrigno)


That's enough trawling imdb for me...

[Ashen Lilies]

Admiral Adama vs. That Guy From Blade Runner Who Left Origami Everywhere.

[RobertoBlasini]

Captain John Sheridan versus Tron (Bruce Boxleitner)
Oh yes. Oh hell yes. I'm liking this match up.

And... I haven't seen Mel Gibson on here yet?

William Wallace vs. Sergeant Martin Riggs

Then, this made me think of Christopher Lambert from Highlander.
Connor MacLeod vs. ... Raiden, from the Mortal Kombat movie...

I hope no one kills me for that matchup.

And as for Liam Neeson I think:
Rob Roy vs. any of his other characters, really. Maybe Gawain from Excalibur or Henry Ducard from the newer Dark Knight movies.

[Amiel]

I would pay to see this. I vote for it ending with them joining forces to adminster a righteous kicking to evil. Oh, and Boo gets a friend.

The miniaturised space hamster? Wouldn't Pooh make friends with it?


Garret vs. Father Karras vs. Xerxes vs. Ole Benny (Stephen Russell)

[Kobold-Bard]

Can we expand this one?

Add more Johnny Depp roles into the mix. Doesn't matter which ones*. Continue until the universe explodes from sheer fabulous.

* Except Ed Wood. Make sure to add him first.


...

Edward Scissorhands vs. The Mad Hatter vs. Willy Wonka vs. etc. etc.

Fear my mad ninja skillz :smalltongue:

And to be honest there's no way anybody could ever win this one. Tim Burton can just keep making new characters indefinitely so there'll always be a new contender.

[Totally Guy]

Mr Bean vs. Edmund Blackadder the 1st. (Rowan Atkinson)

Before Blackadder got clever enough to win too easily...

[Dr. Bath]

I'm confused. Aren't those the same character as well?

What.

What. I'll presume you've only seen the film. And even then they're not that similar. Lots of Sean Connery's character ARE James Bond but Alan Quartermaine of King Solomon's Mines fame is not one of them.

[Avilan the Grey]

King Richard vs King Arthur vs King Agamemnon (Sean Connery)

[Yulian]

Clubber Lang vs. B.A. Baracus (Mr. T.)
Face vs. Starbuck (Dirk Benedict)
"Dutch" Schaeffer vs. John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger)
Predator vs. Harry (Kevin Peter Hall)
Doc Brown vs. Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd)
Gabriel vs. The Headless Horsemen (Christopher Walken)
Elrond vs. V (Hugo Weaving)
Frank Elgyn vs. Top Dollar (Michael Wincott)
Hans Gruber vs. Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman)

Oh! With the recent announcement of the casting:
Human Torch vs. Captain America (Chris Evans)

And a quadruple-play.

Leonidas vs. Beowulf vs. Dracula vs. The Phantom of the Opera (Gerard Butler)

Round one. Fight!

- Yulian

[Avilan the Grey]

The Man Without a Name vs Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood)

[Cheesegear]

Darkman vs. Qui-Gon Jinn vs. Henri Ducard vs. Aslan vs. Bryan Mills vs. Zeus vs. Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith...

Liam Neeson...The greatest actor ever who isn't Bruce Campbell.

Hellboy vs. Slade (Ron Perlman, the second greatest actor)

The Tick vs. Brock Samson (Patrick Warburton)

Ash vs. Sam Axe ...Because.

[Finn Solomon]

Triple Threat match between Elrond, Agent Smith, and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. With the upcoming Cap America movie, throw Red Skull in there as well. I'd also pay to see an Agent Smith vs. V fight.

Officer Aeryn Sun vs Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black)

Agent Sarah vs Agent Miranda (That girl from Chuck)

Barney Stinson vs Dr. Horrible!
