With all of that badass arrest to just one career , it can be hard to keep an precise record . But we ’ve got you covered . From a giant - animal horse wrangler to a gentleman who hunts Vin Diesel for a living , here ’s our countdown of Dwayne Johnson ’s ten most badass role to appointment .
10. Davis Okoye (Rampage)
Once a Special Forces soldier who became an anti - poaching ranger and then a Gorilla gorilla manager at the San Diego Wildlife Sanctuary , Davis Okoye is one fearless guy . Most mass who gaze down full - grown gorillas all day would believably break a swither but Davis is basically indestructible .
After surviving a mortal planer wreck , that he starts out handcuff in , Davis scat from military custody , steals a chopper , gets shot in the abdomen at point vacuous range of a function , go a skyscraper fall on top of him and then buck some grenade and rockets at a jumbo gator and a giant skirt chaser . uncalled-for to say , he ’s smiling and strolling along nonchalantly after they ’re both dead like nothing come about .
9. Raymond Gaines (San Andreas)
Raymond Gaines is a helicopter rescue pilot light for the Los Angeles Fire Department and the only man in California more physically powerful than a 9.6 magnitude quake . Like every disaster movie badass rolled into one , Ray Gaines lands helicopters without paraphernalia box , rides boats immediately into tsunamis and parachutes into the middle of earthquake zones rather than running away from them .
On an unstoppable charge to save his family from unsufferable odds , Raymond Gaines reminds us all that the best thing you may do in a crisis position is to be touch on to a Dwayne Johnson action movie character .
8. Hercules (Hercules)
Dwayne Johnson gives the Greek myth the WWE treatment with his take on the fabled superman . Johnson plays a slightly more naturalistic version of Hercules , in that he ’s more of a conman who inseminate his own outlandish report for more hard currency . But do n’t let that make you think he is n’t a badass . Even when he ’s technically cheating , he still kill a guy with one punch .
Kind of like the closest movie audiences have stick to seeingGod of War ’s Kratos on the heavy screen , Johnson ’s Hercules suffers from a tragic past and the memories of his murdered family . Through some older schooltime swords - and - sandals badassery , he proves that he ’s “ the accuracy behind the caption ” and has his vengeance .
7. Roadblock (G.I. Joe: Retaliation)
One of the last surviving members of the eliteG.I. Joeunit , it ’s up to Roadblock to lead the only two other surviving Joes on a mission to stop the nefarious Cobra – who have penetrate the US politics to the point of replacing the President with an impersonator .
While Roadblock may not be the most memorable of Dwayne Johnson ’s characters that are badass enough to utilise machine gun turrets like they ’re even guns , he ’s still square in the list of characters who are too coolheaded to even reckon back when they bodge up the bad guy . There ’s little more you’re able to do than that to earn a spot on the all - fourth dimension badass list .
6. Chris Vaughn (Walking Tall)
slackly based on thetrue storyof Sheriff Bufford Pusser , Chris Vaughn is a former soldier who returns to his small lumber mill town in Washington state only to determine it in the traveling bag of drug and wannabe gangsters from the local cassino .
After being brutally tortured at the hired hand of the thugs at the gambling casino , and find his nephew nearly overdose on crystal deoxyephedrine , Vaughn picks up his weapon of choice ( a solid block of cedar wood ) and record them who they ’re messing with . After junk the casino and getting acquitted by the jury , Chris runs for sheriff and cleans things up the only way Dwayne Johnson knows how .

Another of Dwayne Johnson ’s takes on a real - life hero , Sean Porter lick with youths incarcerated at the Kilpatrick Detention Center in Los Angeles . After the gangland execution of a young man he tried to mentor , Sean becomes determined to make a dent in the 75 % reincarceration charge per unit that his kids face .
resolve to coach afootballteam at the detention core , Sean learn the inmates about working together despite their backgrounds . On a road that teach him a lot about sprightliness too , he read the kid how to respect themselves and , maybe most significantly of all , how to forgive the harm they ’ve suffered .
4. Christopher Danson (The Other Guys)
One of the Original Guys that the rubric ofThe Other Guysreferences , Christopher Danson is the everlasting badass bull . That is , until he and his better half , Detective P.K. Highsmith ( act by Samuel L. Jackson ) , inexplicably make up one’s mind to jump off of a ceiling to enamor up to some ziplining sorry guy rope and plump to their deaths .
Even in the obvious comedy of both of their deaths , there is still something unquestionably badass about being so sure of your own heroism that you rise off of a building with no actual hope of survival . “ propose for the bush ” are some immortal last words .
3. Gunnery Sergeant Asher “Sarge” Mahonin (Doom)
The leader of a heavily armed group of marines roll in the hay as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad , Sarge is Dwayne Johnson in full on candyass - kick mood . His police squad are big man with even bigger artillery and Sarge gets the award of exert the biggest of the movie – thevideo game serial ’ noted BFG .
The movie thieve out a small by have the BFG be formally telephone the Bio Force Gun ( if we separate you that the first word was originally Big then you may belike guess what the F stood for ) but it ’s still a lot of fun to see in action . Especially in the men of The Rock himself .
2. Luke Hobbs (Fast & Furious Franchise)
How do you slip an entire action movie dealership away from several other stars , even when it ’s already four movies in ? Simple . Be Dwayne Johnson . Do n’t just look like Dwayne Johnson , beDwayne Johnson .
Luke Hobbs is a Diplomatic Security Service agent , which basically translates as The Rock with an official license to badass . He takes commission , take no disrespect from anybody and never leave his infant oil when he ’s travel the globe in the pursuit of various A-one criminals . Hobbs quits the DSS at the closing of theeighth installmentso he ’s got nowhere to go but even further into badass dominion .
1. Beck (The Rundown A.K.A. Welcome to the Jungle)
believably the most underrated character from Johnson ’s whole career , from what is also in all likelihood the most underrated movie of his career . Beck is brawniness under the thumb of a vaguely mobster - ish case . As his name highlights , there ’s not a whole lot about Beck that ’s distinctly defined . All you really know about him is that he ’s in deep with the wrong people , an aspiring restaurateur and a full badass .
Before reluctantly taking down a pro football game team ’s entire offensive line ( he does n’t desire to ruin their next time of year by hurting them too severely ) , Beck crosses path with a cameoingArnold Schwarzeneggerwho tells to “ Have fun . ” Though the movie never even made back its own budget at the box office , critics and audience loved it and the Schwarzenegger cameo seal it as the official moment when the action motion-picture show tough guy cap was formally passed to Johnson . We hope we see that sequel some day .
