Chris Pratt joined a long cinematic line of action stars during his win at this year’s MTV Movie Awards — and he made sure to thank virtually all of them.
While accepting a golden popcorn trophy for Best Action Performance in “Jurassic World,” Pratt called the prize a “freakin’ dream come true” and made sure to give a shout-out to those who came before him — both male and female action icons throughout history.
No-brainers like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone made the list, as did “Aliens” badass Sigourney Weaver and the lesser-known Cynthia Rothrock, a martial arts performer who is said to be the inspiration for a female character in the “Mortal Kombat” video games.
