Movie Shout Outs - Who would defeat John Preston? - Responses

It's Movie Shout Out Response Time!

Yesterday's question was an interesting one and you all rose to the occasion with some fun responses.  It was:

What character from any other movie could defeat John Preston and the 'Gun Kata' from Equilibrium?

Now, this was a tough one because if you haven't seen Equilibrium it might be hard to truly understand the awesome-ness of the 'Gun Kata', but you guys didn't disappoint with some creative answers. 

Check them out below:

Batman could defeat Preston.

Jackie Chan in any of his early movies 'wheels on meals' etc could take anyone. And I don't think he'd provide much opposition to Michael myers

John Travolta-Nicholas Cafe from Face/Off. The gunkata can be matched with John Woo's stylized gun-play.

Zen from Chocolate.  She'd just watch John Preston and be able to imitate him then best him.

Well shit. Tony B took mine. Crap. I was going to cheat for my back up, and go with someone like Magneto from X-Men, but it's just not really THAT interesting a match up. Instead I propose a three way match up between John Preston, Nicholas Angel from Hot Fuzz, and Leon The Professional. Yeah. Let's go with that...
