Whilst contemplating putting my top 5 together I did think escape from NY would have to be there

quick top ten without getting bogged down in overthinking it

  1. demolition man
  2. die hard
  3. terminator 2
  4. aliens
  5. face / off
  6. edge of tomorrow
  7. hard boiled
  8. con air
  9. true lies
  10. the raid
  11. john wick

turned the list up to 11 because that’s one louder than 10 (and I couldn’t leave out big match john wick)

Just remembered that at the end when Statham* crashes to the floor some guy stood up in the middle of the cinema and shouted “Yes! That was EXTREME!” and everyone cheered.

This thread has made me question whether I’ve ever seen Crank 2 before… needs to be rectified immediately.

I fucking love action films. Would probably be Predator, Die Hard 2, John Wick, Crank, Aliens… dunno though. As above the Ip Man films are incredible, watched all 3 over 2 sittings ha.

Films from this thread I need to see: Dredd, Safe, 13 Assassins (I have never seen a Fast & Furious film but am not sure I’m going to start now…)

Edge of Tomorrow is so good, and I generally hate Tom Cruise

Going to make a strong claim here and suggest that John Wick wins a fictional match-up with any (ANY) other action hero named in this thread. Feel free to debate this important topic with made up parameters.

kevin nash broke goldberg’s streak mate, pretty sure he could handle john wick

#188

Con Air
The Rock
Face/Off
Commando
Die Hard with A Vengeance

Hard to skip all the Indiana Jones films, but I feel they’re more like adventure films or something…

Awesome list!

I didn’t put Once Upon a Time in China or Project A in mine cos I didn’t think people would count them as action movies (as opposed to kung-fu or martial arts movies, I guess). Both of these would have walked into my top 5. Police Story too (and Police Story 2!). Love Hard Boiled as well.

No 13 Assassins tho?!
