A trope popular during the age of the [[Nineties Anti-Hero]], when Heroic or Anti-Heroic men with long hair were considered [[Badass]]. These days it isn't as prevalent as it was then, but for a while it seemed every [[Action Hero]] had hair down to at least their shoulders. Usually their long hair was tied back into a ponytail (loose, flowing hair was usually the sign of the grunge bully, but not always), or else was worn in the classic mullet style (or a [[Hime Cut]]).
Line 98 ⟶ 99:
* Mel Gibson wore his hair in a mullet in the first three ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'' movies before finally bowing to modern hairstyles in the fourth.
* Steven Seagal wore his hair long all of his films except the one in which his character was required to have short hair, ''[[Under Siege]]'', in which he played an active duty Master Chief Petty Officer in the Navy.
* Most of the heroic cast of the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' films.
* Jean-Claude Van Damme sports a powerful mullet in ''[[Hard Target]]''
* ''[[Escape from New York]]'': Snake Plissken.
