6. Eric Cantona as Colt
Chuck Norris, or Rajnikanth of Hollywood to us Indians, began his rise to indestructible infamy in martial arts films. One such movie was ‘Return of the Dragon’ where he played his most iconic character Colt, an American sensei pitted against, you guessed it, Bruce Lee.
As all martial arts movies go, they meet each other for a final battle and even though Bruce Lee wins (duh, he’s the hero), Colt became a part of pop culture. Colt will always personify a high flying style of kung fu.
Kung fu brings us to Eric Cantona, the Manchester United legend who somehow thought it was a good idea to launch himself at a Crystal Palace fan, Matthew Simmons after he was sent off. The Frenchman aimed a high kung fu kick at Simmons and then got into a fistfight with the man.
The French forward’s moment of madness makes him the perfect Colt – for once it will be fine for him to kick another person like that. And, he’s a proven actor.
