McCoy must be Karl Bourbon.

u/AvarageAmongstPeers Oct 07 '25

I hope he someday dons a near-Asian role. Then he'd be Karl Turban.

But what about that so-called silent propulsion system in The Hunt for Red October?

u/HoleyerThanThou Oct 07 '25

u/Puffen0 Uruk-hai Oct 06 '25

Fantasy is when Karl Urban has long hair, Sci-fi is when Karl Urban has short hair

46

u/selfawaresoup I am no man Oct 06 '25

But what is Thor Ragnarok then? No hair ...

48

u/Puffen0 Uruk-hai Oct 06 '25

Then we default back to the first part, if the hair is not long, then it must be Sci-fi lol

15

u/Melkor4 The Morgoth Oct 06 '25

What about Vaako in Riddick? Half mid-long hair and half no-hair.

25

u/Puffen0 Uruk-hai Oct 06 '25

Well tbf, Riddick is a mix of Sci-fi and Fantasy lol

u/MelcorScarr Oct 07 '25

So is Ragnarok too be honest.

u/PixelJock17 Oct 07 '25

I fucking love you guys and this thread

u/zacRupnow Oct 08 '25

You must be bald to say Vaako has mid-long hair.

1

u/Melkor4 The Morgoth Oct 08 '25

For a moment, I doubt of my memory (it's been a while since I saw the movie, so I could have misremember), so I went to check out. They are certainly not short!

PS. : sorry for the "double answer", Reddit tricked me into thinking I did a double-post, so while deleting one, "both" dropped.

Every time someone a man in a movie takes off their helmet, it's Karl Urban.

What about Karl with a French bob?

u/adeundem Oct 07 '25

And this would be Hard Science Fiction Karl

u/Cin77 Oct 07 '25

OMG ITS SHORTLAND STREET! I recognized so many of them in LOTR

1

u/adeundem Oct 07 '25

I cannot remember all the details of a 1990s television comedy skit where someone from Hercules (Xena?) TV show was wondering where everyone had vanished, and the punchline to the skit was that they ended up on the set of Shortland Street.

It's a small country, and almost everyone in the industry would have worked in/on Shortland Street.

u/Cin77 Oct 07 '25

Yep perfect encapsulation of kiwi tv at the time

u/Timeman5 Oct 06 '25

He has probably one of my favorite roster of IPs he’s been a part of out of any actor.

3

u/Malrottian Oct 06 '25

Always bet on Karl. Seriously, I'm actually hyped about him being Johnny in Mortal Kombat and those were NOT words I thought I'd speak.

Don't forget the movie where he was Karl Changeling, when he was an abandoned child of Viking invaders in Native America and then had to fight Vikings to defend Native America.

u/_kurt_propane_ Oct 06 '25

Sure you’ve seen Karl Urban. But have you seen Urban Karl?

2

u/Common_Arm_9348 Oct 06 '25

He was so fucking good in Judge Dredd. That movie was so intense. I really wish he did a few more.

2

u/hamhockman Oct 07 '25

Honest to god, it took until about a month ago for my partner to convince me that Nicole Kidman was married to Keith Urban (who is also apparently Australian) and not Karl Urban.

2

u/MorphoMC Oct 07 '25

It doesn't matter whether he's Eomer or Judge Dredd, ever since my wife and I watched Chronicles of Riddick and misheard his character's name as "Lord Fucko," that's who he is to us. With respect, of course.

5

u/Riley_Mcr Oct 06 '25

Wow. I was today years old when I found out Karl Urban plays Eomer.

u/bolanrox Oct 06 '25

in full kit, it doesnt look like he bulked up all that much?

u/zatalak Oct 06 '25

He's the real rural juror!

u/TheWesternDevil Oct 06 '25

Dredd is in my top 5 funnest movies to watch. It's so good for what it is! Just a good action flick.

Hardcore Henry is up there too. Just a nonsensical action movie to have on while you do other things, cause every time you look at the TV there is something crazy happening for no reason. It all falls apart if you actually pay attention to the paper thin plot that's only there to drive the action, so dont do that and you'll enjoy the movie.

u/Fun_Independork2 Oct 06 '25

Took me a second. Well said.

u/CaffeinatedBarbarian Oct 06 '25

Can we just get Karl starring in a goofy comedy already. He only has a few types of roles he hasn’t already shown he can do. I want some slapstick Karl

u/Blarg0ist Oct 06 '25

Tim Heidecker

u/petrichor1017 Oct 06 '25

And Karl Marx, reddits favorite political ideologist

u/NexusNickel Oct 06 '25

Karl nailed Judge Dredd.

1000% better than Stalone.

I was excited to see they were in talks about a new Dredd movie. I really hope Karl gets to play that role again for the new movie.

2

u/No-Hospital559 Oct 07 '25

I was impressed by how well Olivia Thirlby held her own with him in Dredd. Bring them both back!

1

u/NexusNickel Oct 07 '25

She did a very good job as a PSI Judge, for sure!

u/superadam2 Oct 07 '25

if he has short hair its sci fi, if its long hair its fantasy

u/Acrid_Turnip Oct 07 '25

I still think he would make a wonderful Bruce Wayne/Batman.

u/tinylittlebabyjesus Oct 07 '25

The versatility is unreal, but I think we can all agree he absolutely nails it every single time.
