The Most Iconic Sunglasses In History

With the great collection of sunglasses being sold at Nuke Optics, it’s only fitting that people check out the most iconic sunglasses in history as worn by everyone’s favorite actors and actresses.

Dirty Harry

Who would’ve guessed that Clint Eastwood and his sunglasses appeared on the big screen almost half-a-century ago? Playing perhaps the most macho cop in Hollywood, Clint Eastwood’s Harry Callahan looked as though the world was too ugly, and always hurt his eyes. It’s a great thing his sunglasses were there.

Pete Mitchell and the gang

Tom Cruise and company in the iconic “Top Gun” all wore sunglasses? Why? Because they were the coolest pilots in all of Hollywood. After the movie was released, it became a blockbuster, and the demand for aviator-style sunglasses skyrocketed.

The T-800

When Arnold Schwarzenegger played the T-800 in the Terminator franchise, he was always clad in dark leather and wore his sunglasses. In “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” he even had the wrong sunglasses, which were pink, star-shaped, and made for little girls.

Blade

Wesley Snipes was intense, graceful, and ultra-cool in this excellent comic-book adaptation of the vampire-killer simply known to the undead as Blade. Apparently, as the climactic battle in an ancient temple showed, Blade takes his sunglasses very seriously, decapitating a vampire henchman just to get them back.
