Theres a category on wikipedia for people who killed someone with a longbow in WW2 ;D. I would have really liked to meet him.

- Jack Churchill. British soldier who's got credited a longbow kill in WW2. Enough said.

Don't forget the sword.

There are records of Japanese soldiers cutting the barrels off of guns with katanas.

Obviously, this only works when the barrel is hot from having fired a lot of bullets.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Well, you've got to remember that the chap who plays house doesn't know that much about doctoring.

Here's my list, in any case.

Jack Churchill (http://www.badassoftheweek.com/churchill.html) appeared in a minor movie in his younger years. Kicked Nazi ass with sword and bow.

Audie Murphy (http://www.badassoftheweek.com/murphy.html) went on to a semi-sucesful acting career. America's greatest soldier. Kicked lots of Nazi ass.

Ronald Reagan (has never been the badass of the week, for some reason), had an acting career before he became one of the best US presidents. Being CinC, would let us give orders to any military types. And probably has a bonus when attacking commie zombies.

Bear Grylls (http://www.badassoftheweek.com/grylls.html) stars in his own TV show. Former SAS and expert survival type. What more could one want?

Bruce Lee (http://www.badassoftheweek.com/brucelee.html) biggest kung-fu star of all time. Also probably the toughest fighter.

Damn, I should've picked Bear Grylls. One reason I didn't take so many badasses was because you'd have to fight them if they become zombies. A very close combat guy like Bruce Lee would get infected easily... do you really want to fight a Bruce Lee zombie? A lot of Bear Grylls' skill is in the way he thinks, which renders him less dangerous as a mindless zombie.

Hmm.. this thread sounds like a fun idea for a game :P

All of Bruce Lee's terrific conditioning and discipline will be gone when he's a zombie, though.

Yeah, and you get an even stronger undead version of Bruce Lee who can one-inch-punch your guts out. I don't know if a manic undead Jack Churchill with a sword would be any better.

He would have to go at about half speed, and even then you had to make sure not to blink during the fight scenes or you'd miss him decapitating some fool with his nunchucks while simultaneously kicking a knife out of some unsuspecting thug's hand and beating the holy living crap out of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

God damm Bruce Lee is awesome.
And if you don't take these people they are still going to be infected. And people are picking tons of people already dead.

A zombie Bruce Lee would be terrifying, wouldn't it?

Bah if you take Bear Grylls you have to use your other 4 slots for his camera crew.

Take Les Stroud.

I just need my girlfriend, my shotgun, and some machetes. We can handle it.

Mythbusters is awesome!
I liked the ninja, macgyyver, and Indiana Jones episodes.

Take Les Stroud.

But you'll note that Bear is also a badass commando, while Les is . . . a Canadian? (no offense to any Canadians (unless you're from Vancouver) , but that's pretty much it, the guy studied music before survival).
I'll submit that Les is a better survivalist, but Bear has him trumped for fighting.
