The countdown to MTV's big reveal of the GREATEST BADASS IN MOVIE HISTORY continues, with one more character added to the list of contenders today and a special guest list from filmmaker James Gunn.

Yesterday, we directed you to Top 10 badass lists compiled by two of MTV's most movie-savvy mainstays, MTV News' Kurt Loder and Larry Carroll. Today, we have a list from one of the folks making movie magic on the regular, 2004's "Dawn of the Dead" screenwriter and "Slither" writer/director James Gunn -- so now you can find out exactly what's more "bad-ass" than fast zombies and alien slugs. Oh, and even though we're pretty sure there's no need to explain why Clint Eastwood's character "Dirty" Harry Callahan makes the list of greatest movie badasses (on the heels of Boba Fett and Ellen Ripley), we've created the following montage of his particular form of badassery:

Who will reign supreme as the Greatest Badass of All Time? Find out on February 6 at 7:15 p.m. when MTV announces the winner live at New York’s Comic-Con and right here at MTV.com.

Who is the greatest movie badass of all time? That's the question MTV has been asking accomplished actors, filmmakers, and readers of Movies Blog and Splash Page, and we're happy to announce that the final results are in!

We'll reveal the baddest of the badasses on February 6 at 7:15 PM (EST), when MTV announces the winner live at New York Comic Con and here on MTV.com. Until then, however, MTV is revealing each of the 10 finalists for the "Greatest Badass" mantle -- one per day and in alphabetical order. So far, we've honored the extensive badassery of "Star Wars" bounty hunter Boba Fett and "Alien" fighter Ellen Ripley, while notable MTV Movies mainstays Kurt Loder and Larry Carroll each provided their lists of the film world's greatest tough guys (and gals).

And just in case you needed a reminder why why Boba Fett made the cut, here's a montage we created of some of his greatest hits (minus the dip into the Sarlacc pit, of course):

It's always a good time to watch Boba Fett in action, isn't it? Keep it locked to MTV.com every day leading up to the big reveal on Friday, Feb. 6 to find out more of the contenders for the title of GREATEST BADASS IN MOVIE HISTORY!
