Man on fire is my favourite of recent times
Yea i liked that one the only thing i didn't like, was the way it kept chopping about in the 2nd part of the film. It gave me a bit of a headache to be honest, still a good flick though.Quote:

But with the crap we've got now you don't realize how good we had it, until its gone. I remember when i was i used to go round my cousins house to watch all these classics, and play all the classic old games on the Super Nintendo, Megadrive.
Now they've moved away and everyting seems crap now since 2000's, how i wish i could go back in time a be a little kid again. Everything seemed so simple then.
Ben Hur. The first one had several people die making it
Spartacus.
First Blood and Predator for me; which is ironic because I can't watch anything else that has Stallone and Arnold in it, but those 2 for m were awesome movies. I have First Blood on dvd and will watch it just to see if I can figure out what he is saying at the end when e's crying. I still can't decipher his words to this day:lolhaha:
I loved early Chuck Norris movies;D A Force of One, The Octagon, Eye for an Eye, Forced Vengeance.
Love the 1st 2 Lethal Weapons; will watch them anytime they are on.
Bruce Willis is an annoying, pompous boob.
In any order:
Comando
Predator
Running man
Total Recall
Terminator1
Bloodsports1
Kick Boxer1
The Crow
there just some of the great action movies i was brought up with as a 10 year old kid,great great movies!I loved Arnie films back in the 80 and early 90:D

I agree with all of the above plus.
Legend of Drunken Master - I love all Jackie Chan movies, but this is my favorite, because it can be funny as hell too.
Road Warrior
The Matrix
The Professional
Black Hawk Down
I always thought True Lies was the greatest action film of all time. Great story, funny, and the action is great!
Some of my all-time favorites:
Leathal Weapon Series
Die Hard Series (ICB: You didn't like Die Hard 4?! I loved it!)
Rambo Series
Terminator 2
Bloodsport
Legend of Drunken Master, Wheels on Meals (Jackie Chan Movies)
Indiana Jones 1, 2, 3. Part 4 sucked ass! The ending KILLED it for me!
The Big Hit (Many don't like this, but I love this movie)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1, 2 (Sorry, some childhood nostalgia for me. Plus it was sick how they pulled off those fight scenes with those costumes)

The older Jackie Chan films like Police Story 1 and 2, Project A and Wheels on Meals had some of the best fight scenes EVER, the playground scene in Police Story 2 is one of my favourites also the castle fight scenes in Wheels on Meals, amazing work!Quote:

YouTube - Wheels on meals (10/10)
Added the second hald of the fights I thought it was the whole ending oooops
The first Transporter was great.Quote:

I loved Jet Li's Hero. I can't believe I forgot that. The cinematography was fanastic. I first watched it straight, and then another time I watched it high, man that took it to whole new level. ;D
Yep, those are great too!! ;DQuote:

Kel, I read in the Jackie Chan autobiography (yup, I was that big of a fan!). He said him and Benny Urquidez, the guy he fought at the end of Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever, had so much chemistry together fight-wise that some of the fights weren't completely choreographed. The director just let them go and they just pulled their punches.
Have you seen the factory scene in Dragons Forever? Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao just rocking everyone in their way! Classic!

No subtitles but you don't need to know what the hell they're saying anyway.
The playground scene in Police Story 2 is sick! I like the fight in the mall in Police Story 1. So violent!

The 3 bourne films have to be up there.
Blood Diamond is also worth a mention.
Point Break

Forrest Gump.
Lyle's favorite "Stone Cold"
Roadhouse
Dirty Harry
Death Wish
Deep Throat
Die Hard, Commando, Predator , Bloodsport, Lethal Weapon. Of all those Arnie in Commando stole it for me.
I think the thing about these films was that their like had never been seen before so now they are all a repeat of what has gone before.
I noticed no one has mentioned No Retreat No Surrended ?!?!??
I used to love Commando i used to use the quotes all the time at school LOL, i still do like it but the end fight scene, seems so cheesey now im older, still a classic though ;)Quote:

Enter the Dragon and Game of Death were the sh#t.
Gymkata :kar:
Oh and Rollerball :shinner:
As always, I've tried hard not to see anyone's answers before considering my answers. I did see that people were bragging on Commando in the last post in the thread.
BTW, I love these films and will try to post trailers for them later. " No Order."

Anyways, yeah theywere good action films; Forced Vengeance was way violent. Force of One with Bill "Superfoot" Wallace was good too;D
WOW! I just watched those two movies within the last two weeks. The Perfect Weapon was awesome. The one thing I don't like about movies like that is the strong big guy vs the faster little guy. I'd rather see a climactic fight between two evenly matched opponents.Quote:

AMERICAN NINJA
I remember watching Equilibrium for the first time about 5years ago and i loved it.Its a great film that has everything you need in a great film,story line is soo good,the action scenes are great and it has Christian Bale who stars in it.If none of you guys have'nt already seen this great film then i strongly recommend it.
