Rambo (played by Sylvester Stallone) is the only archer on our list to take down a helicopter with a bow and arrow. Hell, he's the only one on our list who's even tried. That's because he's John Rambo, a killing machine. You go up against him you'll need a good supply of body bags! Over the span of four movies he's taken down bad guys with his bow in more than three countries.
Countless actors have played the most famous archer of all time through decades of movies, but the last was Russell Crowe in 2010. In this version, Robin Hood is a common archer in Richard the Lionheart's army, but deserts to fight his own battle. Coolest shot in the flick? Crowe hits a fleeing horseback rider in the neck from about 300 yards away. Hey, he's Robin Hood, the greatest archer in history.
It's a sad day when the prettiest archer on our list is a guy. Actor Orlando Bloom has played the role of elf archer extraordinaire Legolas Greenleaf in three Lord of The Rings movies. He will return to the role in two upcoming Hobbit movies. It will be interesting to see what he shoots with his bow in the forthcoming prequels as his turn with the bow in the original trilogy was extremely impressive. I mean come on he nailed orcs, a Mumakil, and a Gimli. Coolest shot? He nocks three arrows at once and shoots a giant evil elephant in the back of the head.
