Of course; I like Chuck Norris and that's a terrible thing to have to admit to:p At least he was a real fighter back in the day.
Jet Li is awesome and brought a fierceness to the screen.
Bloodsport was indeed awesome - can never remember at the time if it got a cinema release or straight to video ??
They gave it the big Hollywood remake gloss a few years later - The Quest - never saw it and dont really want to...

Agree on the Bourne Films, but Blood Diamond an action film?? It had a bit more to it for it to be labelled an action film.Quote:

Amazed that no-one has mentioned the 'Cage Classics' of the mid 90s, The Rock, Con Air & Face/Off
Another one of my favourite Van Damme films that i grew up watching as a kid back in the 80s.Van Damme was my hero as well as Arnie;D

It's been a long time since I've seen Con Air, but if I remember right, didn't they have the Las Vegas strip all wrong in the ending? :-\ Unless, I'm thinking of another movie, but that really bothered me.
Hell Yea! I was going to post something about that movie but I had to rush cause I was late for church. JCVD is a great movie and Van Damme had an epic monologue. It was approximately 6 minutes long with no cuts! I gave him A LOT more respect after watching that movie.Quote:

Same here i loved The Rock, Face/Off. But i didn't like Con Air as much, Nicholas Cage with that southern accent. Made his lines sound so cheesey, still not a bad flick though and Steve Buscemi is great in it.Quote:
