Good guys killing in cold blood?


What good (TV) guys killed in cold blood?

Don Johnson in Miami Vice "Deliver Us From Evil",

Tom Selleck in Magnum PI " Did You See the Sunrise?"

and wasn't Alan Ladd one of the first anti-heros to kill in cold blood in "Shane" (not a TV series).

Has anybody ever been killed in warm blood?

Alan Ladd did not kill in cold-blood in "Shane". He faced up to the gunman who had been hired to terrorise the homesteaders, and killed him in self-defence.

Also, he was not an anti-hero, as such. He was a gunman who wanted out, and was prepared to risk his life for the innocent folks who just wanted to farm their land....and he was painted in mythically heroic light.

Gregory Peck in the earlier "The Gunfighter" was an anti-hero, I suppose, as was Doc Holliday in any of the films that featured him. And how about The James Brothers in the thirties, with Henry Fonda and Tyrone Power ?

But none of them killed anybody in anything but self-defence....they was all basically decent peoples who had taken wrong turns, and would never shoot nobody in the back....

Lady, I don't have the time....

Sean Connery as James Bond (Doctor No) was supposedly the first protagonist to kill in completely cold blood.
