Burt is a better actor, Harrison has been in better movies/roles


the earning comparassion is stupid since Ford was in Star Wars and Jones series

Luckier actor no doubt

and I like Harrison Ford, Hanover steet was a decent film
but Burt is the better talent

Just face it. It was a much closer comparison than you apparently thought it would be.

Burt Reynolds is a joke. Harrison Ford is an icon.

Burt was your idol wasn't he?. You always wanted a 78 Trans Am and Lonnie didnt' you?

And quit encouraging this.

No contest. Ford is an ACTOR while Reynolds is NOT even a reasonable facsimile.

You're an ignoramus. Go watch Sharky's Machine, Boogie Nights, and Deliverence.

His worldwide gross box office is 1.8 BILLION, so I would disagree although Ford has this match won.

I also have no doubt that Burt scored more high quality tail in one year than Harrison in his life.

I'm not voting for Reynolds, but the attacks on Burt are not based on reality. The guy has made a lot of money for a lot of people, just not at the level of Ford.

I vote Reynolds, but like Ford as well. If your using money as a reference keep in mind that Reynolds was the #1 money maker at the box office from 78 - 82 (Bing Crosby is the only other actor to lead this list for 5 years in a row like Burt)

Also keep in mind that Burt was the first choice to play Han Solo. He turned the role down twice. He thought the movie was going to be corny. After he turned it down the first time, the studio offered him a share of the merchandise recenue (this would have wound up making him more money than all of his movies combined) he still turned the role down. All of this was after Lucas had already worked with Ford on American Grafitti. So ask Lucas who is best.

Not really dipshit. I actually like Burt Reynolds as the blue collar actor that he is and those roles. He was da man 30 years ago. But he's not in the same league as Harrison Ford. Sharky's machine was OK, Deliverance is a little overrated. I will give him credit on Boogie Noghts.

I've also read so was Sly Stallone. Maybe Lucas does know something.
