Celebrities/Characters I'd take to a bar fight (34 person items)"
Vinnie Jones is a tough English actor but in real life, he's tough and good to have along side you in a bar fight. He's a really hardcorde fighter like in his films. The former footballer use to be a badass on the pitch. He punch would hurt a lot and he'd have a drink after."

Vinnie is still keeping his Crazy Gang status. Tough lad. "
My picks for future Marvel villains! (10 person items)"As Rhino!
Vinnie Jones has been playing brutal roles ever since he came to Hollywood so why not play The Rhino? He has a tough physique and voice to match. I personally think that he has played enough comedic roles (Yes, even Juggernaut was funny) and i think he should portray The Rhino as a full brutal unstoppable force of rage!
