Just watching a rerun of Magnum Force and it got me thinking - David Soul is pretty cool as the bike cop in the white helmet and dark shades 8)

But is he the coolest in a helmet to grace the silver screen

My personal favourite is Boba Fett. They don't come much 8) cooler 8) than him. As my old grandaddy used to say 'Speak softly my son........and carry a big blaster' Laughing emoticon

Any further nominations

cheryl ladd in an old episode of charlie's angels where she has to infiltrate a biker gang. she lures in the head biker by standing at the side of the road next to her bike waiting for him to ride by. when he does, she whips off her helmet, revealing perfectly groomed blonde locks. he pulls over and says 'what's wrong little lady?', and she answers 'my hog broke down'.

it doesn't get much cooler than that i think

Boba Fett? Cooler than Vader himself? Not on his life!

Though both pale in comparison to Dark Helmet...
