The Toughest Characters Hollywood Has to Offer

Marv - Sin City

When a guy this tough is left with a broken heart, there will be a lot of broken necks on the path behind him. In Robert Rodriguez's hyper-stylized film based on Frank Miller's novel, Marv's only goal is to get revenge on the cannibal priests who killed his girlfriend. Like a true boss, he immediately confesses to his crimes and gets the electric chair. It takes a few zaps, but he goes out eventually. The scene with Marv climbing out of the manhole was actually filmed in reverse. They wanted to give him a defining presence in the film and wanted it to be as creepy as possible.
