Nobody mentioned anything about 'coolest'
In 'Con-Air' Cage is already an army hero who twats a bloke for abusing his pregnant wife. He then goes on to save a screw from being raped by a psycho, administers medical aid to a fellow prisoner, refuses to speak to a paedo, stops a plane taking off with his bare hands, aborts an attempted ambush of the feds, twats all the second class baddies, saves the screw from rape again, saves Vegas then kills the main baddie by chucking a fire truck at him.
And whilst doing all this he still manages to keep his daughters pressie in his pocket so he can deliver it to her in the final scene. That's a proper hero.

Hilts (McQueen) escapes to survey the surrounding area, then allows himself to be caught. His information is used to make maps of the surrounding area for the other prisoners to use. Who'd allow themselves to be recaptured for fear of being shot or tortured? In Le Mans Delaney (McQueen) sacrifices the glory of him winning himself so that his team mate wins and his team get a 1-2.

McQueen used to do many of the car & bike stunts himself and used to race them in a time where death was not uncommon.

Sly Stallone in Escape to Victory, escapes, meets the resistance, they dig the tunnel, far better than McQueen's effort. All so Buzzer could do the exec boxes on match days.

AND he managed to keep goal, 5'0 or however tall he is. Buzzer was the real hero though.

Picture the scene...

The world has been over run by invaders. Beings from another dimension are running amok. Tables are being knocked over. Bookcases are falling down. There's glass everywhere. A strange CGI beast is running around a restaurant chasing a very weird looking man before taking over HIS BODY AND MIND. No one in the eatery seems to care. A woman is lying 2 feet, TWO FREAKIN' FEET PEOPLE, above her own bed and is panting hard. Some might say sexually.

Up steps one man (Ignore the other 3, and Janice who you would totally bang), A slightly odd looking man with a receding hair line and a penchant for ad libbing.

He not only saves the planet but he also gets the girl a fully two years before she shaves her head and goes all lezzie looking.

So...if you are looking for a movie hero then who are you going to call?

Louie Spence?

Dirk Pitt from Clive Cussler's books, though the only 2 films, Raise The Titanic and Sahara, were pretty average.

Uh, are we talking about Bill Murray? Because he played Hunter S. Thompson once, now that's a movie hero!
