Today we\u2019ll take a look at VHS Bracket to see if Han Solo\u2019s intergalactic coolness is any match for The Bride\u2019s Hanzo steel. From the DVD Bracket, we have a wonderful matchup for everyone to fight over: Zombie-killing Tallahassee goes toe-to-toe with the gladiator of gladiators, Maximus.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/han-beatrix.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13163\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/han-beatrix.jpg\" title=\"The Bride vs. Han Solo\" width=\"523\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/han-beatrix.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/han-beatrix-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Han Solo represents all that is cool in the universe, but The Bride took on the entire Deadly Viper Assassination Squad and ended up getting her very bloody revenge. Will Solo\u2019s blaster techniques and utter coolness be enough for him to overcome one of the baddest chicks we\u2019ve ever seen in cinema?<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-solo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-solo.jpg\" title=\"Han Solo\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a>Han Solo<\/strong> \u2013 He answers to no man. Without a care in the galaxy, Solo flies the Millennium Falcon from planet to planet, smuggling anything and everything with his first mate Chewbacca at his side. Armed with a blaster and sardonic wit, Solo helped Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance fight against Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths<\/span>: He\u2019s just so cool. Is there a fictional character in the known universe that is as effortlessly awesome as Han Solo? I don\u2019t think so. He\u2019s also a master with his blaster. (No, that wasn\u2019t supposed to be a masturbatory reference; you all have dirty, dirty minds.)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses<\/span>: Carbonite. If it weren\u2019t for his helpful friends, he would have been sealed in that stuff forever.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-kiddo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-kiddo.jpg\" title=\"The Bride\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a>The Bride<\/strong> \u2013 Left for dead by the gang of assassins she once counted as friends, The Bride was forced to seek revenge after she regained consciousness from her coma. The trail of dismembered bodies she left along the way is an awe-inspiring sight. Sorry Kobe, but there\u2019s only one Black Mamba, and she could kick your ass.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths<\/span>: What isn\u2019t she good at? She\u2019s a master of weapons, both swords and guns. She\u2019s a superior martial artist. She\u2019s the only one in this tournament who\u2019s dispatched 88 sword-wielding foes in one fell swoop. Oh, and she punched her way out of a coffin. Take that, Ryan Reynolds.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses<\/span>: Bullets to the head will weaken her, maybe even put her in a coma, but they won\u2019t stop her completely. Shot gun blasts of rock salt to the stomach can also be used to immobilize her.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-49\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Han Solo vs. The Bride<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-49-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li>Han Solo <small>(69%, 79 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 69%;\" title=\"Han Solo (69% | 79 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>The Bride <small>(31%, 35 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 31%;\" title=\"The Bride (31% | 35 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Total Voters: <strong>114<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_49_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"4da3701d41\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-49-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/tallahassee-maximus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/tallahassee-maximus.jpg\" title=\"Tallahassee vs. Maximus\" width=\"523\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/tallahassee-maximus.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/tallahassee-maximus-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ancient Roman times collide with a modern day zombie apocalypse in our next match. Both men are driven by the fact that they lost their families at the hands of their mortal enemies. Fun-loving, free-wheeling, ass-kicking Tallahassee goes up against ever-so-serious Maximus in a duel to the death. Yes, Tallahassee has the advantage of guns, but Maximus can throw his sword really, really far.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-tallahassee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-tallahassee.jpg\" title=\"Tallahassee\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a>Tallahassee<\/strong> \u2013 Lost his son to the zombie apocalypse. He simply enjoys killing zombies now. It\u2019s all he lives for. There\u2019s nothing much more to Mr. Tallahassee.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths<\/span>: Inventiveness. Not only does he dispatch the undead with numerous guns and automatic weapons, but he also uses hedge trimmers and a banjo to get the job done. He enjoys what he does.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses<\/span>: He\u2019s really a big softy inside. He tries to make up for this with his hardened exterior, but we all know that he\u2019s easily persuaded to help those in need.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-maximus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/thumb-maximus.jpg\" title=\"Maximus\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a>Maximus<\/strong> \u2013 Lost his son and wife to Rome\u2019s tyrannical ruler.

Not to be deterred, he worked his way up through the ranks of gladiators in order to get his bloody revenge.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths<\/span>: He\u2019s a skilled and battle-tested warrior. He can plan and execute an attack with precision. Also, remember what I said: He can throw his sword really, really far.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses<\/span>: Wound infections.
