Way back in 2009, EmpireOnLine.com\u00a0posted their list of The 25 Best One Man Armies in the Movies<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Of course, Rambo came in at #1<\/strong>.\u00a0 Who could argue with that?\u00a0 Using just their choices I made my top ten list.\u00a0 You can check it out here<\/a> should you desire.<\/p>\n

But since that list was made so long ago, I felt it was time to come up with an updated list of The 25 Best One Man Armies in the Movies<\/em>.\u00a0 \u00a0These choices can [and should] be debated.\u00a0 Isn’t that the purpose of lists?<\/p>\n
