Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

This is a tough one. Both start out as average guys and become heroes largely through no fault of their own while keeping their “average guy” mentality. Both have been seen to do highly implausible things by invoking Awesome: Ash connected a chainsaw to his severed arm without any medical training, and Jack unlocked cells via SMG bullets.
In the end I have to say that, while Ash is more generally capable of facing anything you throw at him, Jack’s specialty is fighting other mortal (or immortal) men, especially those he’s apparently hopelessly outmatched against.

I think having two hands would give you a natural advantage in a fight :)
Chainsaw + sequels = win.
Once Jack loses an eye then let’s talk, until then Ash for the win.
Two hands are better than one, but one chainsaw can take out two hands.
Chainsaw hand and boomstick. Fights over before it begins.
I agree that Ash has better weapons but Jack Burton is too tough and tenacious.
YAS!!! Ash for the win. He’s got a chainsaw AND boomstick.
Ash works retail. I doesn’t get tougher than that.
