DISQUS

Don't sell out Gibson! Based on the information presented here, Han Solo is clearly the winner of almost every category here.

I'm not sure any of these factors matter in a fight except weaponry and degree of badassness. Who cares who they're dating or if they can fly a plane if it's mano y mano?

Besides, Myslocountry forgot the ever-important hair style category which Han also clearly wins.

Cody Miller · 1 year ago

I agree with Cole, the Hair is a big Factor of play in action movies.

But Solo takes it easy, hands down.

Indiana Jones is the fkn man, he would totally win. First of all he's the main character and not a total pansy like Han Solo. Indi does it all himself no help from Luke, Leia, and/or Chewy. Plus chicks in Indiana are way hotter, helpless or not.

Dude, first rule of Blog Club is "Don't Equivocate!" (A little different than Fight Club). People want a goddang winner here! I'll break it down for you...

Weapons: Han
Women: Indy (please, Leah would have sucked in bed and you know it).
Vehicles: There IS no cooler vehicle than the Falcon.

But the real deciding factor is...

Sidekick: Sweet Jesus man the fact that he undertook Short Round as a sidekick for even one second makes him the automatic LOSER.

Rob Hunter · 1 year ago

Indy would win since he'd shoot first, unlike Han Solo (thanks George "Revisionist" Lucas!)

Joe · 1 year ago

Indiana all the way, to make this fight even possible you'd have to settle for both to meet somewhere in the middle seeing as how Jones is past and Solo is future, on even ground I'd like to think that Jones would have the advantage

Cole Abaius · 1 year ago

Joe, before you get eaten alive by fanboys...

Han Solo is distant past, not future.

Please, friends, do not flame Joe.

Indiana Jones is an archaeologist and a part time professor. Han Solo is a SPACE PIRATE. Well, smuggler, but space pirate was more dramatic. He's a Veteran of the Battle of Yavin (Death Star), The Rescue of Princess Leia (Boarding a Death Star), The Battle of Hoth, and the Battle of Endor. He is a combat veteran. And I'm sure Leia gets freaky in the rucksack. I love Indiana, but Han Solo is the clear winner here.

This isn't a fight fight, Solo has access to technologies far more advanced than Indy. I mean, Millenium Falcon compared to trains and planes, pfff. And Solo has Alien sidekicks and someone who has effing JEDI powers.

A more fitting fight would be between Indy and Deckard.

wow, indiana alive yet?

His Linus Larrabee character from that Sabrina flick he did would fuck both Han Solo and
Indy up.

Scanain · 1 year ago

The real question is this.

Could Han Solo commandeer a horse, chase down a Nazi convoy, take on a transport truck full of soldiers (including one particularly bad ass Arian looking fool) and come out of it with the loot intact.

No, he would have dropped his cargo at the first sign of imperial trouble.

This is completely backwards, Jones is far smarter & would find a way to win.

Joe · 1 year ago

lol thanks Cole, so I'm not much of a Star Wars fan....clearly, forgive my lack of info S.W. fans

Philip K. Dick · 1 year ago

This is stupid...of course Rick Deckard is going to kick both of thier a$$es

Matthew · 1 year ago

A clear-headed revision of the evidence leads to only one sane conclusion: Indiana Jones beats Han Solo. A blaster is really not much of an advantage over a six shooter, and Indy is a master with the whip. Most important, Han never demonstrated the sheer guts and athleticism that Indy did when he took out a whole truck of soldiers, at one point crawling under it and letting the truck drag him across the ground.

When it comes to a fight, Han Solo could not hang with Indy, no serious question can be raised about it. Episode IV: A New Hope was superior to Raiders of the Lost Ark by a small amount, but Indy clearly beats Han in a fight.

Davo · 1 year ago

Scanain & Matthew both makes very good point for the Indy Wins case, but that all depends on weather Han gets the drop and shoots first or not. But then again Indy did take out the Swordsman with his six shooter.

If its one on one without Han's technological advantages and the super powered sidekicks, I'm gunna have to go with Jones. He could probable use his whip to disarm Solo in the same way Vader did with the force, and I don't remember Solo punching anyone in the face. (possible because most of his enemies wore helmets)

We see Indy cop much more of a hiding and still bounce back for more the we ever see of Han, and Indy comes out on top in all of his films, where as Han is left a bit cold at the end of Empire.

Harrison Ford was happy to come back for a 4th Indy film but tried to talk Lucas into killing off Solo at the end of Jedi, that's got to count for something, kind of.

Jeremy M · 1 year ago

If this was straight up fisticuffs. NO sidekicks, weapons, transportation or girls.

Indy FTW.

BigDude · 1 year ago

Hang on... How come Short Round gets to be Indy's sidekick when there is a much better option such as Sallah (who could easily match any wookie, right)?

TGarvey4 · 1 year ago

Spoiler? SPOILER?! That was hilarious. Great article and honestly that was my favorite part. I assume it was meant to be funny of course.

Actually, for what it's worth, Han punches Lando in the face during the post- interrogation scene in Empire Strikes Back. So true, he never punches an ENEMY, but he does punch somebody in the face at least once.

Pfft.. Indiana Jones would make Han Solo eat his lunch. And what's this about Short Round not being any good at hand to hand combat? He torched Salim Zingh and Indy in the chest, therefore unlocking the way to cure the Black Sleep of Kali, took out a ton of temple guards and insurgents with a 2x4, and was pretty much the only reason that Indy and Willie survived the Temple of Doom. Had not he escaped his chains, burnt Indy's biscuits, and pulled Willie back up from the sacrificial pit, there'd be no Raiders, and Hitler would have had the ark. Come to think of it, opening it would've melted him and anyone in the Reichstag like cheese on Texas toast, but I digress.

CaptainBastardAgain · 8 months ago

Argh. Comment was too long. And don't ever rank Mutt Williams over Sallah and Marcus Brody. Shia LaBoner has nothing on Brody's trademark ride into the sunset. Indy has Han trumped in hand to hand combat, intelligence, charisma, and his versatility of weapon usage. Han used a blaster, a few thermal detonators, his ship, and a skiff staff to kill Boba Fett (unintentionally). Indy used his hands, a whip, machete, rocket launcher, Temple guard staff, Nazi planes, trucks, and motorcycles, and an endless amount of stuff to survive. He disarmed an SS motorcyclist with a flagpole, for chrissakes. Case and point.

And as for the balls-o-meter, Han Solo, while a ballsy sonofabitch, would never go kamikaze and attempt to kill everyone when backed into a corner like Indy did on the Pankot bridge. If Indy had to go down, everyone did. The man's balls probably weigh more than an Ark full of Sankara stones and crystal skulls, while he stands beating a naked Marion Ravenwood in a drink off, using the Holy Grail to hold his JD. We have a winner.
