The character that jumps to mind is Patrick Swayze's James Dalton in Roadhouse.
Badass? Check.
A shady past (though it wasn't really his fault and he feels bad about it)? Indeed.
Drives a cool car (when he isn't obliged to hide it from pissed off bar patrons)? Yep.
Sensitive and educated (a background in philosophy, for Christ's sake!)? Covered.
Cool enough to hang with Sam Eliot? You better believe it.
Gains the trust, respect, and friendship of all the right locals in record time? Absolutely.
Woos and beds the hottest doctor in all of Missouri? But of course.
Beats the shit out of people for a living but has too much integrity to join the bad guys? Was there any doubt?
My guess is that the original completed draft of the screenplay was probably covered with the writer's cum stains.
