I prefer the fact that "Movie" Philip Marlowe is the only character who fought (and in a way won) Bruce Lee, Arnold Schwarznegger and Stalone!

Err, you left out an easy one: Robert Mitchum.

Powers Boothe

Stretching the point a bit, you could add George Sanders -- The Falcon Takes Over (1942) -- and Lloyd Nolan -- Time To Kill (1942).
