Yeah it is (ahhhh sneaking into R movies...those were the days) btw another great action flick if you havent seen it is Hard Boiled...I had it tied for first with Die Hard. Plus the whole movie is on youtube with subtitles if youre interested. Keep the great posts coming because im going to do plenty more top 10s
No Commando wtf? Rocky 4 Game of death Commando First blood terminator 1 Pacific Rim Way of the Dragon kickboxer Cyborg ROBOCOP Honorable: The rock Con air Batman begin
This is a really hard list to compile, because 'Action Movie' is such a broad term. SO, having to be broad, let's see what we can come up with.. (In no particular order) Supercop (technically this was Supercop 2 - I was blown away when I saw this at the Greenway, way before Chan became a star here) Dragon Fist (in my opinion, this is the greatest Jackie Chan movie of all) The Matrix Aliens Avatar Terminator 2 The Dirty Dozen Inception Predator Big Trouble in Little China Iron Monkey House of Flying Daggers Highlander Smokey and the Bandit Die Hard Raiders of the Lost Ark True Lies JAWS!!! Pirates of the Caribbean Taken Das Boot ... And on and on for probably a couple hundred films.. But these are all movies that I would probably just drop everything and keep watching if I come across them on tv..
great lists all around. they don't make action movies the way they did back in the 80s and mid 90s, that's why i was surprised when I watched raid redemption and how awesome it was.
Some nice lists and I love the mention of Das Boot. It's one of my favorite movies and am including it if it counts as action. My list in no particular order. Das Boot Enter the Dragon Aliens Robocop (The original not the new remake) Musa The Warrior <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VDAfS38bxVM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Warriors of Heaven and Earth <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9V2VGs1yaGU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Fearless (Jet Li's not Jeff Bridge's) The Dark Knight The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Matrix Conan the Barbarian Gladiator Scott Pilgrim vs the World Aliens The Avengers Pacific Rim Kill Bill 1&2 Lord of the Rings trilogy Blackhawk Down Ninja Scroll Die Hard Lone Wolf and Cub (Shogun Assassin) Indiana Jones Trilogy (not that crystal skull junk) Point Break Tombstone
To put a spin on it.... The following movies were very influential and each turned a corner on the genre of action films. In no specific order: star wars raiders of the lost ark die hard the matrix tron avatar smokey and the bandit
Waiting patiently for it too. Floor 7, the drug room, and 2 on 1 are the best scenes from part 1 EDIT Found the whole movie on youtube for those who have not seen part 1. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nM8bPW5xfPE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
