- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisAlan RickmanBonnie BedeliaA New York City police officer tries to save his estranged wife and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.Die Hard (1988) the first action film is my number 1 action film of all time. I am glad I review it last year. It is by far one of the greatest best action movies of all time from the 80's till this day hands down. It is my number 1 personal favorite action movie of all time, I love this movie to death! I love it so damn much and I have fun watching it so much. Hans Gruber is my number 1 favorite villian R.I.P. Alan Rickman. I never root for bad guys but Alan Rickman is exceptional for me. I have to talk about this movie: It is one man army fighting against a team of terrorists with automatic weapons and plastic explosives. Bruce Willis performance was excellent in this movie John McClane is his best role ever. It is my number 1 personal favorite action movie of all time, I love this movie to death! It's stay in my heart forever. To me it felt this film realistic and it makes you think that you are alone trapped in a building against bunch of terrorists what will you do? The greatest bad-ass best action movie hands down my personal favorite number 1 movie of all time. This film has heart and soul. A lot of movies have try to do that premise since, but no movie has nail it like "Die Hard." This is a modern day action film of the action genre. I watch this film as a teenager I even watch it with my mom it was ultimate thrill ride. I love everyone in here all the characters and the lead character. I love that McClane is alone he has no help, all telephones doesn't work he is barefoot with his gun and the only help has is from Sgt. Al Powell down there who didn't even see him at all but were both talking on a radio from cop to cop. I love that bond between those two lead heroes. I always love when McClane talks to himself whenever he was about to do something crazy. It is going to be 30 years anniversary this summer 20th July. I love this film to death I am hugh fan of Die Hard films I love this film so damn much. I would really love to see this movie in a widescreen in a movie theater. It was directed by brilliant John McTiernan it is is based on a novel Roderick Thorp Nothing Lasts Forever. This is a masterpiece action film that started all action genre one man army types battling terrorists while trapped in a confined space. It was arguably the first one in the action genre. This movie has everything. It has intense Action, Drama, Thriller, twists, great dialogue, explosions, fights. Exploding building, great helicopter explosion action scenes. John McClane is one man against a whole team of terrorists. A cracking Action Thriller from beginning to end, Die Hard explodes with heart-stopping suspense! It has great cast, great plot, great explosions, no shaky cam, doesn't deal with CGI, but real actions real practical effects. Great Direction from John McTiernan, great dialogues, great acting from everyone. Everyone does an excellent job. Bruce Willis is a bad ass action star as John McClane. It has a great bad-ass action hero who does impossible buy stopping the terrorists who were actually a real terrorists who try to steal the money in a vault 640.000.000$ in bearer bonds stored in the building's vault. My favorite action sequences and the best part of Die Hard: McClane grabs the fire hose, ties it around his body jumps with the helicopter about to kill him. Then Gruber blows it a second after McCLane jumps off the roof! It was an incredible explosion that totally takes out the helicopter. But McCLane is falling down the side of the building and needs to get inside quickly this is the best scene in the movie my favorite. McClane climbs in the elevator shaft escapes Karl and his men trying to kill him. McClane shoots on the table with his gun killing Marco. (According to the director, the proximity of the gun to Willis' ear during this scene caused permanent hearing loss for Willis.) McClane shot's Hans and Eddie "Happy - Trails, Hans..." Incredibly satisfying action in a brilliant action movie! McClane try to save Ellis when Ellis try to save him self. McClane was afraid of flying and he always carry gun because he was afraid someone would have hijack it. The fight between Karl and John was excellent and well choreographed. McClane drops C4 down the elevator shaft and destroys the entire floor where the terrorists are firing from, giving the cops a chance to retreat. I love The broken glass scene. He shoot's and kills two terrorists with his machine gun to escape Hans and Karl, John McClane is forced to sprint over broken glass while barefoot the best bad-ass scene in the movie my all time favorite. Three terrorists are shooting on McClane on the roof chasing him in which he escapes in the beginning of the movie awesome. Karl shoots in an elevator shaft in which McClane is hiding a real kick-ass scene I love this film to death!
- DirectorJohn WooStarsJean-Claude Van DammeLance HenriksenYancy ButlerA woman hires a drifter as her guide through New Orleans in search of her missing father. In the process, they discover a deadly game of cat and mouse behind his disappearance.Hard Target (1993) is one of the greatest and the best action packed movie in a John Woo-Van-Damme Style! Of all Van Damme movies this one of his, is the best of Van Damme ever and I absolutely love it to death. Like the title says Don't hunt what you can't kill. It is my John Woo's number 1 personal favorite action flick of all time, that I love to death. It is also one one of my personal favorite action films of all time. "Don't hunt what you can't kill." The thrill of the hunt. It's the ultimate drug, and the more intense the rush, the higher the price. International superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme teams up with world-famous action director John Woo for this electrifying thriller Van Damme is the target of an evil mercenary (Lance Henriksen) who recruits homeless combat veterans for the "amusement" of his clients - bored tycoons who will pay a half a million dollars to stalk and kill the most challenging prey of them all: Man. Laced with dark humor and slam-packed with electrifying action Hard Target is a must see for action fans. Hard Target is not only my John Woo favorite film, it is also my Jean-Claude Van Damme favorite best action film from my favorite action star. I put this film over Die Hard, this is my Die Hard movie. I love that the stunts were realistic I think that John Woo didn't allow Van Damme to make his own stunts and it is a shame that Jean-Claude Van Damme *beep* up his chance with John Woo by making on another film. It is Van Damme's ego fault. Still they don't make movies like this. I heard that there is Driector's cut somewhere on DVD that I have never saw, I own this film on Blu-ray in my John Woo collection and I still love it. The stunts are crazy, the action are spectacular. Van Damme catching a snake wow incredible. (at one point, a movie's typical crazy stuntman; firing the Beretta 92FS 9mm while standing on the seat of a motorcycle and crashes in to the car.) Still the motorcycle chase sequence is my favorite scene in the film. Van Damme "launches thousands of bullets, slugs, and explosive projectiles into THIRTY of mercenary tycoons baddies." Arnold Vosloo is also underrated actor who plays Pik van Cleef he did a really pretty good job as the villain and Fouchon second mercenary henchman. Possibly best role for him. "I don't get angry. I'm a professional." I love this movie the action is delivered perfectly. Honestly I love Arnold Vosloo more in this movie than Lance Henriksen and I love his character Pik van Cleef.The trill of the hunt. It's the ultimate drug and the more intense the rush, the higher the price. Hard target was the film is saw as a teen when I was 18, I couldn't saw it as a kid I really don't know, it was never on TV and I have never seen a VHS cover in a video store. I didn't even know that movie exists. Hard Target is a 1993 action film that marked the US directorial debut of acclaimed Hong Kong director John Woo, who brought out his Asian style of action to Western cinema. 10/10 for me I love this movie to death, It is my number 1 favorite action film.
- DirectorJackie ChanStarsJackie ChanMaggie CheungKwok-Hung LamThe Hong Kong supercop must stop a group of blackmailing bombers, while the villains of Ging chaat goo si (1985) are out for revenge.One of the best Films of all time my second favorite Hong Kong film of all time!!!!! My favorite Jackie Chan film Police Story II is an underrated sequel in my opinion beter then the first one!!!!! I have not seen one stuntman for Jackie Chan or his crew! Everything was practical done. The fight scens, action scens. Explosion of the factory on the end was done for real they blew this shit up, and you can see Jackie Chan running for his life for real!!!! Best action film I have ever seen on screen!!!!!!!!!! Everyone goes for the first film which was a breakdown for Jackie Chan in his movie career. It was a huge hit back in 1985. Jackie hated James Glickenhaus's The Protector (1985) and was so disappointed with the American film. It was not a pleasant experience for Jackie. So he went back to Hong Kong to work for the "Golden Harvest Company." Jackie said you have your own version of police. I will do it my way. The First Police Story was a smash hit. It made Jackie into an action martial arts star. So yeah. Jackie in both films plays Kevin or Chan Ka Kui as you call him. Set after the events of first film, Chan Ka Kui Faces off Against a Mysterious Bomber Led By 3 Pyromaniac Knuckleheads (One of them Is Deaf by Saying Appa). It was my first Jackie film I saw. It was my first "Police Story" film I saw. It is my favorite Police Story film it always was. I now have this film on Blu-ray finally from EUREKA. It cost me 77 EUR for the box set with both films. It still considers the film as "Underrated". Police Story 2 has the opening restaurant fight, park fight and the factory fight. But on top of that it has that really good sequence with Jackie being tortured by the thugs then defusing the bomb and jumping from buses to rooftops.Jackie Chan smashed into the wrong glass pane, causing severe cuts to his wrist and head. This scene is actually used in the movie, and the outtakes show the pain. When Jackie Chan is jumping from the top of the buses then through the glass window onto the balcony, he accidently jumped through real glass instead of sugar glass like he was suppose to. The sugar glass window was just before the window he ended up jumping through. If you watch the outtake reel during the ending credits, you can see him being treated for the cuts he received. I really like the playground fight scene in this movie, definitely one of Jackie's best in terms of choreography and using the environment to his advantage. The jokes are pretty funny too, like Jackie accidently breaking the window with umbrella when slating his Boss, him sneaking around the boardroom to plant the bugging device and when he uses a fork to scratch his fake mustache because it is itchy. Finality. This Time at the Abandoned Factory. Real Explosions, Real Fire all Done Practical. Jackie wears explosive vest. I love this film to death!!!!
- DirectorTed KotcheffStarsSylvester StalloneBrian DennehyRichard CrennaA veteran Green Beret is forced by a cruel Sheriff and his deputies to flee into the mountains and wage an escalating one-man war against his pursuers.First Blood (1982) is a classic action movie that started all action genre one man army types action movies. It is my personal favorite movie of all time. I am a huge Rambo fan and I love John Rambo character. I love First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo to death. I love them so much it is my favorite film series. I love First Blood to death this is my personal favorite action film. It is in my top 5 Stallone's favorite action films part 4 and 5 is Cliffhanger and Demolition Man. It is my personal favorite action film in the Rambo series. I love Rambo: First Blood Part II to death it is my number 1 favorite action film in the action genre. First Blood is my personal favorite action film of all time it is right up there with Part II. It is my number 3 favorite action in the Rambo series but I still love First Blood to death. This is my comic book hero this is my childhood movie the movie I grew up with it. This is the best movie ever my all time favorite action movie. It is the best of the best of all time. Sylvester Stallone co-write the script and started and the men can act, he is an action hero on screen in my opinion his best film. Yours is Rocky mine is Rambo action hero. I love Rambo's Survival Knife he rally's on his knife.
I could have killed 'em all, I could've killed you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it! Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go! "First Blood is a realistic film portrayed about John Rambo a troubled and misunderstood Vietnam veteran who saw hell in the Vietnam War and he is hunted by the past. Sylvester Stallone plays the character of John Rambo very convincingly and Director Ted Kotcheff brings out the story to an effective scale allowing us to see the action through the character's eyes.." First Blood "doesn't deal with CGI nor does it deal with special effects. It deals or tries to deal really hard on what is real. He feels that society is against him and he is angry. - DirectorWoo-Ping YuenStarsCynthia KhanDonnie YenMichael WongA Hong Kong cop and two American cops are onto a suspected harbor worker and are forced to team up when they discover that the suspect is a witness on the run from CIA agents and their schemers; two corrupt cops.In the Line of Duty IV for D & B Co. Ltd is to me the best in the "In the Line of Duty" series and one of my personal favorite Hong Kong action films of all time!!!!! My number 1 favorite will always be John Woo's Hard Boiled (1992) with Police Story II, In the Line of Duty IV is my second favorite Hong Kong action film of al time. It is my first Donnie Yen film I have ever seen and of course his best film of all time he ever did. I was 12 years old when I was watching this film on VHS. Donnie Yen and Cynthia Khan play a pair of no-nonsense cops on the case of a major drug trafficking operation. When an immigrant dock worker is targeted by the criminals, the officers must protect this innocent man from an international crime syndicate. The movie is action packed with Death-defying stunts insane action set-pieces and some of the best martial-arts choreography ever captured on film. Directed by Yuen Woo Ping. Using virtually none of his trademark wire-work (that, in my opinion, ruins many of his films), Woo-ping presents the viewer with a roller-coaster ride of top action set-pieces and amazing acrobatic mêlées that show off his stars' skills to great effect. Khan is easy on the eye, but deadly in a fight, and gives her all in several brutal battles, one of which sees her performing an amazing routine with a couple of spanners standing in for a pair of nunchucks, and another which has her fighting a top a moving ambulance. Yen is on his best acrobatic form ever, performing more than his fair share of life-threatening action, but his best moment is undoubtedly the final rooftop punch-up with the massive Michael Woodsin a kung fu style! There is also a motorcycle chase with Donnie and Michael Woods. The ambulance scene with Cynthia Khan is my favorite in the film. I heard on audio commentary that Cynthia had nightmares from this scene. There were no wires on the Ambulance those were death stunt scenes. There was no double for Cynthia on and under the ambulance. I don't think they could make an effort with any stuntman or stuntwoman at all. During fight scenes Between Khan and Stephan Berwick I did notice that there was a stuntman performing flying kicks for Cynthia Khan. Because I am sure she couldn't do those tricks herself. It was a stuntman with a wig on it. The fight scene between Donnie Yen and John Salvitti was also one of my favorite fight scenes in which Donnie kicks the shit out of CIA agent uses more punches and techniques and great flying kick. There's also a great battle between Khan and karate champion Farlie Ruth Kordica that has the two falling from huge heights and kicking each other repeatedly. The action (thanks to the great Yuen Woo Ping) is typical of the series, inventive and brutal, but what sets this one apart is the sheer number of action scenes. There are three kung fu fights and a shoot-out in the first fifteen minutes. In total (Yes, I counted) there are fourteen kung fu battles, three shoot-outs, a brief ice locker torture scene, a car bomb, two scenes involving hitmen on motorcycles, and two interrogation room beatings. Cynthia's highlights are a great fight on a moving ambulance in witch she is shoved though the window, her head dangling above the pavement, fighting on top of it, hanging off the front grill. Cynthia Khan had a nightmares after the stunts she did on a moving ambulkance. Another fight with a woman in a warehouse that involves some precarious scaffolding and elevator shaft fu. Donnie, however, has a the majority of the good fights, like a motorcycle chase and joust, as well as his fantastic final fight with a beefcake Ike Turner lookalike. If you are looking for action every three minutes, look no further. I love this film to death. I have seen it so many times, I just recently got the Blu-ray from the UK.
- DirectorGeorge P. CosmatosStarsSylvester StalloneRichard CrennaCharles NapierRambo returns to the jungles of Vietnam on a mission to infiltrate an enemy base-camp and rescue the American POWs still held captive there.Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) is the finest pure bad-ass the best action film of the 80's of all time for me. My number 1 personal favorite film in the action genre I think it is one of the best action movies of all time. I love this film to death and it is my childhood film. Sylvester Stallone returns as John Rambo, the former Green Beret who is given the opportunity for a Presidential pardon if he accepts a mission to confirm the existence of American POW's captured during the Vietnam War. Rambo: First Blood Part II influenced many of action films. Commando come out the same year and it was very competitive with Rambo but this movie won because it was more box office successful. I love this film to death It is the sequel to First Blood (1982), and the second installment in the Rambo film series In my opinion it is Stallone's best film. "Sir, do we get to win this time?" Awesome and very great intense underrated sequel. it Is a very joy great action movie. Action adventure fun with some substance. Different than the first one, but great as an archetypical good versus bad movie. Very decent, good movie, very entertaining, fast paced wonderful action Hard-R fight scenes and some nice one-liners war movie. There's no shaky cam or CGI here but real explosions. Bad-ass action film I absolutely love it to death! James Cameron and Sylvester Stallone wrote the script that is why this movie was such a bad-ass action. Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Aliens proves to be one of the best action movies from James Cameron he wrote and directed them, that is why Rambo: First Blood Part II was such a success. Brilliantly directed by George P. Cosmatos who later directed Cobra (with Sylvester Stallone again) Leviathan (with Richard Crenna again) and Tombstone. Of course, this wouldn't be an action movie without some action. There's plenty of it, and it's perfectly done. Great action, a slick pace and a barrage of great moments (a random soldier being shot by an exploding arrow being my personal favorite) may not make this high art, but it does create a fun time at the movies, which is what movies are meant to do. It also helps that it has a great score, which sets the tone very well. You have ton's of explosions real practical effects. You see a lot of heavy weapons and they are used well. Rambo uses a knife and kills the bad guys, well, he's Rambo and his knife completes him. Rambo uses Hoyt Archery compound bow which has been well know as the "Torque Bow" because of the high explosive arrow tips. I have never seen in any action movie a bow and explosives arrows. Rambo uses a flying helicopter kills all the bad guys blows whole base and saves POW's captured prisoners. In this movie you have Russians and Vietcongs as the bad guys. Rambo blows up an enemy boat by pulling an RPG-7 anti-tank grenade launcher blows them to hell. Great explosion I have ever seen. Rambo blows up Podovsky's Hind helicopter with another grenade launcher M72 LAW. Excellent solid cast Sylvester Stallone does great excellent performance as legendary John Rambo Vietnam vet. I love the character to death. Richard Crenna R.I.P. as Col. Samuel Trautman was excellent I really miss him. Charles Napier R.I.P. as Marshall Murdock was fantastic bad guy. The acting is fantastic from Richard Crenna and Charles Napier the politics were important, such as a right-wing stance coming from Trautman and his nemesis, Murdock, contrasted by Rambo's obvious neutrality. Great music score from Jerry Goldsmith R.I.P. 10/10 Bad-ass action film I absolutely love it to death, it is my number 1 action film! Puts most of action movies to shame. Today they aren't action movies like are this one. Today they are just lousy CGI bullsh** crap.
- DirectorStanley TongStarsJackie ChanMichelle YeohMaggie CheungA Hong Kong detective teams up with his female Red Chinese counterpart to stop a Chinese drug czar.Though co-scripted by Chan regular Edward Tang (also responsible for the first two entries in the "Police Story" franchise), POLICE STORY III - SUPER COP is slightly darker in tone than its immediate predecessors and offers a much more streamlined combination of comedy, drama and action. This shift in focus was occasioned by the hiring of stuntman-turned-director Stanley Tong (RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, CHINA STRIKE FORCE, etc.), who keeps a tight rein on the film's narrative excesses whilst indulging some of the most spectacular action set-pieces ever filmed, *anywhere*. Nothing in the first half of the movie - Chan's fight with gymnastic beauty Sam Wong at a mainland police training center; his initiation into Tsang's criminal gang by helping the villain's brother (Yuen Wah) escape from a prison work camp; a battle with police in a crowded marketplace, etc. - can prepare viewers for the *astonishing* climactic confrontation between Good and Evil, involving a series of hair-raising car stunts, Chan dangling (apparently unassisted) from a rope-ladder beneath a helicopter as it swings *high* above the streets of Kuala Lumpur (!), and the final hand-to-hand battle on top of a speeding train, upon which the aforementioned helicopter has become precariously entangled - and not a CGI shot in sight! Filmed with breathtaking gusto by artists working at the top of their game, this is commercial cinema at its most astounding (check the outtakes during the final credits, in which various participants come perilously close to serious injury or *death* during filming!). Maggie Cheung makes another extended cameo appearance as Chan's beleaguered girlfriend, though the film is stolen clean away by Michelle Yeoh (billed as 'Michelle Khan' in some prints) as a mainland policewoman who assists Chan in his undercover operation, and who proves to be Chan's equal during the fast and furious combat sequences (the character proved popular enough to warrant her own spin-off feature, PROJECT S, in 1993!). Easily the best of the "Police Story" series to date, and one of the most memorable efforts to emerge from HK in the last fifty years, POLICE STORY III - SUPER COP is a winner. As usual, the movie was re-edited and rescored for its 1996 US debut under the title SUPERCOP. That version is missing only a few minutes of material, but should be avoided nonetheless.Jackie Chan DOES take his art just as seriously, (although not in a spiritual sense), this is proved by the number of near-death accidents he has received for the sake of his art over the years. He doesn't use stunt doubles very often and spends hours & hours going over potentially lethal special effects before finally performing them for us. Police Story 3 is a superior Chan product, much better than his paper-thin stories as of late (although this could be down to the heavy Hollywood influence that perpetrates most of the latter films, and IMHO he is worse off for it). My second favorite Jackie Chan film but my number 1 will always be Police Story II because it was my first Jackie Chan Film!!!!
- DirectorJohn WooStarsChow Yun-FatTony Leung Chiu-waiTeresa Sun-Kwan MoA tough-as-nails cop teams up with an undercover agent to shut down a sinister mobster and his crew.Hard Boiled is my number 1 favorite Hong Kong John Woo action film that I love to death! And it is my second favorite John Woo action film, number 1 is Broken Arrow (1996). I absolutely love this movie to death I love it. It is one of my personal favorite movies. Hard Boiled (1992) is literally John Woo's best Hong Kong action film ever made of all time! The movie is a hard-core action, I have ever seen. It is actually the best Hong Kong action film for me. It belongs right up there with Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) the best action classic film of all time. Chow Yun-Fat, toothpick in mouth, a gun in each hand. That's all of the plot you need to know. In fact, this is THE best pure action epic ever filmed. This is my film, my personal favorite Hong Kong action film of all time. Hard Boiled is my favorite John Woo's HK action movies. This action movie with twists around, The Hong Kong Cinema Hard Boiled has everything in it, no CGI, the stunts are real, the explosions are bigger and the plot of the film is amazing you can get in to the story without guessing what is going to happened and what the plot is about. The warehouse scenes and a shooting a motorcycles in an explosions from Tequila is my favorite scenes in the movie. Sometimes to me it come for this movie is similar to Miami Vice when Tony Leung was undercover cop on a boat he remind me on Sonny Crockett, but the shout outs in this film are awesome. Just Miami Vice TV series where more about drug cartels, this is arms dealer weapons about triads.The stunts are real and very dangerous. There was a hospital siege which was actually Die Hard in a hospital. Hard Boiled is a classic action film from Hong Kong, they don't make movies like this anymore. Phillip Chan is also in this film which I forgot to mention in my review Philip Chan was also in Van Damme's Bloodsport. You have a great action sequences in the tea house, where the guns are hitting in the bird cage, he shoots a dozen guys and saves a baby, the hospital sequences are real. The first time I saw this film I had no idea that how great film it is, the greatest movie of all time in the cinema. John Woo is also as a bartender in this film. The hospital sequences for me is real, the action is real. The best Chow Yun-Fat and John Woo movie ever made.
- DirectorStephen HopkinsStarsDanny GloverGary BuseyKevin Peter HallThe Predator returns to Earth, this time to stake a claim on the war-torn streets of a dystopian Los Angeles.Predator 2 (1990) Is my ultimate favorite Predator film of all time. It is MILES way better than Terminator 2: Judgment Day!!! I love Gary Busey to death in this movie! Eye of the Tiger and Predator 2 are his best films in my opinion! Is very underrated, bashed and hated decent Action Science Fiction Horror flick! I don't get why It did got 6.3 on IMDb I give it 10 out of 10. I love the action I love Danny Glover he is my favorite action star! From Lethal Weapon 1 & 2 he is terrific he is the action hero I wanted. Gary Busey and Danny Glover they both started in Lethal Weapon. In this movie they were great. I am a big fan of action flick Predator 2 and is not a stupid movie! I am comparing with Lethal Weapon 1. Because Danny Glover star of Lethal Weapon was the main cast and hero. Gary Busey from Lethal weapon was FBI agent and Glover's nemesis like was Gibson's nemesis in Lethal Weapon. The movie has great action tough the plot wasn't great but was 90's action and I love it. It is my childhood movie and the last good Predator film and worthy sequel of all time. I don't like Predators (2010) and I think Predators it is a rip off the first film. When people criticizing movies I love them because I am a big fan of Predator 1 & 2 so I really don't care. Arnold Schwarzenegger turn down the offer to reprise his role from the first movie he said the story set in the city would be bad idea and maybe it was. The new Predator the actor form the first movie had new technological weapons than in the first one. I love Predator 2 no matter what everyone say's I love my childhood movies and I enjoyed the score too and the movie it is not bad as people are saying, it is underrated I love it. There are many elements that I enjoyed in the film. The score, the action scenes and Danny Glover. The predator was there as a test of rites or passage which is pretty clear by the end with the elders showing up to collect his body. I think this film is highly underrated and no where near as bad as some say about it. Why I love this film as much, that I love the original film?: because of action, it is sequel to the first movie, Kevin Peter Hall stars in this movie actor from the first movie, it has Predator movie theme score, more Predators showed up at the end. Glover gets a gun from 1715. I always love Predator 1 & 2 movies no matter what, if it was terrible or not.Some people are saying similar things about Predators but I am not listening them, I love them and I am listening to my self. Predator 2 does have error hole the story shouldn't be set 10.years after first movie in 1997 Los Angeles because the movie was released in 1990 "so it should be set in that year.
- DirectorMarco BrambillaStarsSylvester StalloneWesley SnipesSandra BullockA police officer is brought out of suspended animation in prison to pursue an old ultra-violent nemesis who is loose in a non-violent future society.Demolition Man (1993) is one of the best epic classic science fiction/action film of all time! AN ALL TIME CLASSIC, has it all, explosions, practical effects, one liners, 80s songfests, soundtracks. I know Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) is the best action movie of all time, In my opinion Demolition Man is the best action movie of all time I love it more I think it is even better than Terminator 2. I would say It is even MILES way better than Scharzenegger's Last Action Hero that come out the same year as Demolition Man it got the same satire comedy elements and action but Demolition Man grow on me for the Stallone and Wesley Snipes fan like me. Simon Phoenix is Wesley Snipes best role he ever got. Demolition Man is my personal favorite action movie. I love this film to death it is Stallone-Snipes futuristic science fiction action flick of the 90's. They don't make like this anymore. My favorite Stallone film of all time! I love the song played on the end Demolition Man by Sting. I love Sandra Bullock she is so damn hot babe I would fuck her in her ass every day so mach gorgeous she is. Send a maniac to catch a maniac! You even have the music score by Elliot Goldenthal who later used the same soundtrack in Batman Forever. You have ton's of action and great future. I love be well, be fucked lines from Stallone. Stallone's says that Word in Rambo III "fuck em". Great acting performence from Stallone I know Sly get's praised for Rocky movies and First Blood why not Demolition Man? I love the word "Demolition" I Also think Demolition Man dosen't get so much praised as it deserves. It is underrated in my opinion. In the opening sequence you have an explotion a burning bulilding is exploed to pices real practical effects. Sylvester Stallone is a legendary bad-ass cop John Spartan Demolition Man he plays by his own rules and he does what he does best to catch the bad guys. He will blow things up to get the job done and he does in this movie. Demolition Man defies my childhood and I love this movie to death! The cast, the script, the story itself all of these elements come together to make this one of the best action movies of the 90s. This movie does have a few surprises and it is not above making fun of itself or the action movie genre (Denis Leary is a wonderful touch!). It is a perfect addition to an action movie night or collection. The movie has humor, a little comedy and pure action that the gunplay is delivered in perfect Stallone-Snipes style - you'll see lots of heavy automatic and explosive weapons, and you'll see them used well. Stallone uses hand guns including a Remington shotgun. The film is absolutely filled with great, classic moments (I counted TEN all-star ones during my last viewing), and they're evenly spaced through the movie. The martial arts are excellent, so are the cryoprision scenes. Terrific special effects and art direction. Marco Brambilla did a great direction debut of directing of one of my all time classic sci-fi action movies! This is an action film that actually has a brain in its head and has something to say. The vision of future world here is undeniably original and memorable. What is more admirable is that many of things seen here are happening in REAL world. Demolition Man shows what would happen if the politics will went to far with it. Anyway I love this film, I grew up with Demolition Man, beside Cliffhanger is my second best favorite action Stallone movie!!! The rating I am giving is a 10, because the film isn't a 6, but it is a perfect 10. It is a film that is an underrated cult classic movie that I will always enjoy and cherish it to death!!!

- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerCarl WeathersKevin Peter HallA team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.Predator (1987) is a masterpiece - the greatest bad-ass best Sci-Fi action film of all time. I love this Sci-Fi action flick to death! Predator is Epic Sci-fi Action movie of the 80's, my number 1 personal favorite best action sci-fi classic film of all time. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers and the rest of his team are all the time in the jungle hunted by an alien Predator, that's what makes this film and story more interesting than. This is very fast paced action flick, you never get bored or you fall a sleep. My favorite best Action Sci-Fi Flick movie was always Predator and It always will be. Is my number 1 Schwarzenegger best Action Sci-Fi Epic movie. The best action movie ever made! Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer is my comic book hero this is my hero. The hunted becomes the hunter on the end of the film when he camouflage with mud to defend him self against the Predator-ultimate hunter and hunts him down by setting booby-traps for him the best! This is the finest action movie of all time. And, yet, believe it or not, it's not the action in the film itself that makes this be the case. This is especially odd in a movie with an $98 million budget (in 1987!), with multiple huge explosions, with thousands of bullets fired, and scores of stuntmen used. This movie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Richard Chaves, Elipidia Carillo, Shane Black, Sonny Landham and Kevin Peter Hall they are all believable in their roles and even add to the humor that this movie has. This is obviously the best of the Predator movies and still one of the most highly liked thrillers today. And let's all show respect for Kevin Peter Hall, who died a year after he had made Predator 2. Predator is the 1980's most adrenaline-pumping, action-packed, violent mainstream film of the decade, a film replete with nearly non-stop action, loud, messy violence, huge muscles, big guns, and an extraterrestrial killing machine with infrared sight and a laser cannon on his shoulder thrown in for good measure.
- DirectorSam FirstenbergStarsMichael DudikoffSteve JamesJudie AronsonAmerican soldier, obviously very skilled in martial arts, single-handedly takes on mercenaries in the Philippines.The best "The Cannon Group Inc." movie of all time. "American Ninja" is my childhood film that I grew up watching as a kid. I saw this film on VHS whole film with my classmate. Until later I saw the sequel American Ninja 2: The Confrontation on TV. The film has non stop action, explosion, gun fights and tons of Ninjas. The film is practial done, No CGI at the time. All the fights are for real. I would put this film above "Cobra" and "Cyborg", because I watch this movie so manny times. "The deadliest art of the Orient is now in the hands of an American." First film in the successful martial arts franchise, "American Ninja" stars Michael Dudikoff as Joe Armstrong, an one-man ninjitsu fighting machine. Serving in the army to avoid prison sentence: Joe will find him self battling the deadly ninjas of the Black Star Order. As well as corrupt military leaders in order to bring down an illegal arms sales conspiracy. Joining in an the adventure is Joe's comrade-in arms Curtis Jackson (Steve James) and Patricia Hickock "the hot sexy Judie Aronson" from Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter. This is a kick-ass film. One of my favorite action films of all time. I love the fight sequence between Michael Dudikoff and Steve James. Joe puts a pucket on his head and he unarms James with one move. There are ninjas in warehouse and Dudikoff singlehandly beats them. It kinda reminds me on Rambo: First Blood. Ninjas get's thrown trough a window. Dudikoff has two swords throw's them and they both fly in ninja's chest. Chases a guy goes in to guy's motorycycle kick's his ass. Makes the guy in the motorcycle crash in the truck. Chases him on motorcycle that's the "Missing in Action" music plays to Chuck Norris film. Get's in the front and hides under the truck. Find's out a little more what is going on. Goes back, get's arrested. The Black Star Ninja try's to kill him. Richard Norton is one of the MP police officers get's stabbed and killed by the Black Star Ninja. The fight scene between Dudikoff and Black Star Ninja on the tank is spectacular. Aronson convinces Dudikoff to talk to her dad Colonel. Steve James is fun. We find out that Colonel is working with the bad guys and Dudikoff escapes, kills sgt when he hits him and sgt crashes with the jeep in a tree and the vehicle explodes. Meets the guy who thought him how to fight. Entertaning film. You have sword fights on the end. I think Dudikoff did not all the sword fights, It was probably a stunt double with a mask on it. Maybe because Dudikoff did not want to get hurt. That time the army shows up blows everyone apart. Steve James shows up he is Rambo with bandana on a jeep and he fires with M60 machine gun all the bad guys. Great music score, explosions. It reminds me on Rambo "First Blood". Take me home baby. Steve James does not fight ninjas, but fights some bigger guys. He fights and kicks some guy in the nuts, he throws a knive in a soldier and blows a helicopter to pices. Dudikoff fights Black Star Ninja. Kills him on the end stabbs him and cuts him. It has bloody gore in it. Dudikoff saves Aronson in a hekicopter and movie ends. I wish Steve James would had more to do or fight Ninjas. Entertaning Action film I Love this film to death!!!!!
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA cyborg assassin from the future attempts to find and kill a young woman who is destined to give birth to a warrior that will lead a resistance to save humankind from extinction.The Terminator (1984) is a masterpiece, the best sci-fi action classics horror movie that started all the Terminator movies. This is Schwarzenegger's best movie and my personal favorite action film. I love this film to death it is my childhood film I grew up with it. Arnold Schwarzenegger was The Terminator T-800 Model 101 indestructible killing machine cyborg. This movie is brilliant, it has brilliant story, brilliant plot, excellent additional cast, brilliant director and writers, good special effects, it is mixed with sci-fi, action and horror. This movie deals with the war that was set in the future but the battle will be fought in the present. It deals with paradox travel trough time.
"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!"
This is the perfect action film of all time and still even today over 30 years it is a cult classic. The plot and the script provides excellent dialogues. Why it is brilliant? Imagine someone did something in the future and didn't know about it and becomes a primal target for extermination from a killer cyborg from the future now in the present. That is brilliant and excellent idea and story.
Two naked men appear in different locations in los Angeles trough flash blue light and electricity they were both set in time from the year 2029 to the present year 1984. One is a human the other is an indestructible cyborg reprogramed to find and kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) the woman whose unborn son will become humanity's only hope in the future war against the machines. The other men is a human being a soldier from the future who has to find Sarah Connor and protect her at all cost. That's the basically plot for this film.
James Cameron writes and directs this film with his than wife Gale Anne Hurd who also produced this film and they both does that brilliantly. The script with the story provides a perfect action entertainment trough whole film.
Brad Fiedel does a wonderful music theme for The Terminator character and action sequences, car chases and does a drama in which Sarah and Kyle have sex together in the motel room. That's how John was later in the sequel born. Great music score for the film. I love the soundtracks from this film: Photoplay and Burnin' in the Third Degree by Tryanglz.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was at the top of his career. This movie bring his career at top of the action stars. Arnold is excellent and he performs excellent and acts brilliant as The Terminator. At one time his agent pursued Schwarzenegger to play the action hero, but Schwarzenegger wasn't interested to be an action hero he was interested to be The Terminator and he played brilliantly well and believable enough.
Before Sarah Connor was a tough bad-ass gun guerilla squad in the sequels, here she was a scared victim. A beautiful young woman who was a waitress at the diner and was just a human being leaving a teenage normal life in Los Angeles. Linda Hamilton is the only Sarah Connor no else can replace her. She is beautiful and smart and it is my favorite Linda Hamilton movie. She acts very realistic, brilliant and perfectly as the scared victim. Linda Hamilton is the best of the film.
Michael Biehn is the only Sgt. Kyle Reese no one else is or can replace him. He is excellent and brilliant I still prefer Corporal Dwayne Hicks but Kyle Reese is my favorite character from Michael Biehn he is a perfect action hero. I love Kyle Reese because he doesn't kill any human being.
Lance Henriksen from Aliens and Hard Target is in here and he plays Detective Hal Vukovich and he is very good and realistic as the detective.
Paul Winfield is Lieutenant Ed Traxler first he doesn't believe Kyle Reese story but later he witness it him self. I wish there wouldn't be deleted scene in which Kyle and Sarah finds Traxler dying and he gives Kyle a gun.
This movie has ton's of action: You see a lot of automatic weapons, shotguns and handguns used in this film and they are used well. You have a car chase between The Terminator and Kyle Reese with Sarah and both men are shooting at each other. Terminator has a stolen Police car and Kyle fires his shotgun and hits twice the Terminator once in the eye. The Terminator than crashes with the car in the wall. In the next scene you see Terminator's eye bloody. You have a great car chase by the end of the film Terminator with truck tries to kill Sarah but Kyle put's a pipe bomb in the truck and you see a huge explosion the truck explodes great special effect. Terminator shoot's with an IMI Uzi in Tech Noir night club. Killing bunch of people in which Kyle stops him with a shotgun. Terminator crash with the car in the police station and kills almost 19 cops.
When we see The Terminator been all burned out without flesh with only been endoskeleton covered with steel with his red eyes glowing that is scary when he chases Sarah is scary when I was 6 years old I screamed when I saw that skeleton cyborg attacking Kyle and Sarah.
The Terminator is a 1984 American science-fiction action film directed by James Cameron.
10/10 Bad-Ass Seal Of Approval The Terminator is a masterpiece a science fiction action horror film, a film I love to death and it is my personal favorite Schwarzenegger film. This is Schwarzenegger's best film with Predator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day I highly recommend those three films. - DirectorJohn FlynnStarsSteven SeagalWilliam ForsytheJerry OrbachWith his partner executed in broad daylight by a psychotic mafia enforcer, a veteran Brooklyn officer vows revenge. But is the unstoppable detective prepared to face the truth and pay the price of blood?My Favorite Steven Seagal action movie Out for Justice (1991) with "Above the Law" and The Glimmer Man is one of his best action films he ever did in the 90's. I love his character Gino Felino one of my favorite action heroes ever! His a good guy and I love about his background and how hard life he had. I love Seagal's Brooklyn accent. William Forsythe is a good bad guy which I like. So Gino is such a baddass he killed Jason. This film is the ultimate violence film. It come out the same year as Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Showdown in Little Tokyo and I love Shodwown in Little Tokyo, but I always have enjoyed Out for Justice more. I love this movie to death. I love when this asshole throws a dog out of his car and Seagal stops the car finds the dog and his says "Please, God...let me run into this guy someday." That's what he does he kicks him in the balls. The climatic finale Gino with shootgun Ithaca 37 - 12 gage goes and he blows bad guy's leg off. The movie is more bloody real blood squibs. Seagal goes punches Richie throws him in the window. A bad guy says "Fuck you cop" and Seagal kicks him so hard that he falls and smashes in to the wall. Bloody sequence. Gina Gershon was in this movie and you know what she was not killed unlike Face/Off (1997). Out for Justice is really fast paced only 91 mins not that long. Great acting performance by Seagal and really love his Brooklyn ascent. Why Seagal can't do movie like this nowdays? Great direction by John Flyn who directed Lock Up (1989) with Stallone which I love. My favorite role of Steven Seagal is Detective Gino Felino my favorite Van Damme role is Chance Boudreaux from Hard Target. It is rated-R it is hard practical scenes. Richie grabs a woman and shot her. He is far gone so crazy that he is on a drugs. Great performance by William Forsythe. It is a classic and my personal favorite action film of all time. I love this movie so much. Out for Justice is my favorite Seagal film he ever did. Fun bad-ass kick ass action film. "You crazy? You coulda shot somebody upstairs!" "But there ain't nobody upstairs!" I love lines from Seagal he fucks everyone in this film. He bust his opponent's teeths out. He get's shot but is nothing he is invincible. It is just pure bad-ass action film. With Under Siege these 2 action movies by Warner Bros. are Seagal's best bad-ass action movies ever made!!!!!!!!
- DirectorAndrew DavisStarsSteven SeagalPam GrierHenry SilvaA former Special Operations Vietnam vet works as a Chicago cop, and uncovers C.I.A. wrongdoing."Steven Seagal is...Above the Law." My second favorite Seagal film. I miss action movies from my childhood and this was the second film with Seagal I saw as a kid the first one was "Under Siege". This is the best film. My favorite will always be "Out For Justice" my second favorite will be "Above the Law". Great wonderful direction by Andrew Davis. The movie starts in Chicago like many Davis films does. Steven Seagal's best performance as Nico Toscani. His best character to me. He shows his fighting skills. A mob squad ambushes Seagal in his car and they blow with automatic machine guns his car and Seagal goes out and says "Drop that magazine, Motherfucker, Now!!!!!!" I don't think you will get all of us bad-ass. "Bang" Seagal shoots him and says: "No but I try my best." He goes to this store and great fight sequence between Seagal and his opponents, he kicks all there ass! Seagal does his own stunts. A few guys whith car show up and tell him that they are Salvano while Nico was searching for Salvano. They decide to fuck with him: one is with machette, the other with a bassebal bat. Seagal fucks this guy, cuts one guy with a machette. Than he runs and chases the bad guy. He can run better than me, a lot of people are make fun of him. Steven Seagal's best action film as a Chicago Cop. Sharon Stone is in this movie and I love her performance. This is the first time we see Seagal crying. This movie is made with heart. I love when Seagal runs on a train and shoots on bad guys. Henry Silva plays Kurt Zagon a CIA doctor agent who is smuggeling drugs, killing people and ploting assassination on a Senator Harrison. I love Nico's lines: "You know something Fox. Right now in Europe they're trying some 80 year-old camp guard for Nazi war crimes. And all around our country they got guys on death row for murdering 1, 2, 3 guys. And they probably deserve what they're going to get. But you & I... we know a couple of people that are personally responsible for the death of what, 50,000 non-military personnel? Librarians, teachers, doctors, women, children. All dead! We've wiped-out entire cultures! And for what? Not one C.I.A. agent has ever been tried, much less accused of any crimes. You guys think you're above the law. Well, you ain't above mine." I love when Seagal breaks Zagon's arm and his neck. His using elbow and break a guy's nose. I love when Seagal grabs this guy break his fucking nose bloody because he was messing with his niece. He was druging her and she was all high. Seagal is pure angry machine in this movie. You fuck with his family you die. Of course that line was in Marked for Death. Seagal did care that time. Now days his Direct to - Videos are just god awful peace a shit TRASH movies. Above the Law (1988) is the finest kick - ass classic action film of all time!!! Love this movie to death!!!
- DirectorSteve BarronStarsJudith HoagElias KoteasJosh PaisFour teenage mutant ninja turtles emerge from the shadows to protect New York City from a gang of criminal ninjas.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) is actually a cult classic Epic Action film and one of the best movies. It is one of my personal favorite comic book films and it is also one of my childhood favorites. It is my number 1 personal favorite Ninja Turtles movie! I love this movie to death it defines my childhood I grew up watching this movie! You haven't already rated the movie well, please do so we can push the current 6.7 rating as high as it can go!! As a lifelong Turtles fan, I can honestly say that everything about this movie works. From the casting, to the fight scenes, to the music, there is nothing that I would have done any differently. There is just enough comedy, each turtle is given their own unique, identifiable, and believable personality, and the story is fast paced and gripping. Jim Henson's people did a stunning job on the Turtles themselves, and the Shredder looks even better than he did in the Cartoons. The film really pays homage to the original comics by introducing Casey Jones, dealing with Raphael's anger. Here they are Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo are bad ass. Splinter, Tatso, Casey Jones they are all bad ass including Raphael. My favorite best movie.
- DirectorMark L. LesterStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerRae Dawn ChongDan HedayaA retired Special Forces colonel tries to save his daughter, who was abducted by his former subordinate.Commando (1985) It is one of the best one man army type action film out there ever made in the world. The film is Directed by Mark L. Lester, and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rae Dawn Chong. Released in 1985, 'Commando' starred action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger as a retired Delta Force operative who must rescue his daughter from the mercenaries who killed his entire team. Also starring a young Alyssa Milano and Rae Dawn Chong, 'Commando' was yet another hit for Schwarzenegger. It is been 30 years and it is still consider it as the one of most best Action war flicks in the world out there. I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now I am very hungry. In the beginning, there was the masterpiece known as Commando. And the God of '80s Action Excess did look upon it and see that it was good. And all did Arnold Schwarzenegger massacre hundreds of mercenaries in displays of awesome ultra-violence, and Alyssa Milano did rejoice. After the triple play of The Terminator and both Conan films, Arnold Schwarzenegger graduated to top billing with Commando; a classic '80s action movie which delivers tons of explosions, violence and guns, in addition to containing an assortment of evil villains, cheesy one-liners, big guns, bigger guns and enough dead bodies to keep a mortician's convention busy for days. It was produced by illustrious action super-producer Joel Silver and written by distinguished action writer Steven E. de Souza, not to mention that the primary star is none other than the iconic Arnie. On any level above that of red-faced guilty pleasure, there's simply no way to defend Commando. It's a gloriously primitive and action vehicle which makes absolutely no bones about its absurdity. It never pretends to be anything other than a simple-minded exercise in vicarious violence. Its heart and soul is best by a line of dialogue – a female character, while witnessing two macho behemoths engaged in mano-a-mano fisticuffs, exclaims "These guys eat too much red meat!"
- DirectorWoo-Ping YuenStarsDonnie YenRosamund KwanDavid WuAn ex-cop and divorce lawyer team up with a gangster to clear their names after getting involved in a dirty money scheme led by a vicious money launderer, who plans to expand his business and wipe out anyone who stands in his way.Tiger Cage II (1990) for D & B Co. Ltd is to me the best in the series and my favorite Donnie Yen film. I had to choose between this film and In The Line of Duty IV and I chose Tiger Cage II. This is the best of the "Tiger Cage" trilogy. Sadly Donnie Yen was only in the first and the second movie. I still have a CD of this film which is a VHS version in Mandarin language. Tiger Cage II has always been my favorite action film of all time. My Favorite Donnie Yen film of all time! Dragon Yau is one the best character he ever played. Directed by Yuen Woo Ping he directed all three Tiger Cage movies and In The Line of Duty IV. The movie stars Donnie Yen as Dragon Yau as a bad-ass ex-cop whose attitude has got him in trouble with his Boss es and his ex wife. But he is pursued by both authorities and triads after witnessing a murder and a robbery, and becomes entangled with his divorce lawyer Mandy (Rosamund Kwan) as they try to seek justice and clear their name. The movie is about a stolen dirty money scheme led by a vicious money launderer. The fight choreography is amazing. Perhaps even better than the first film. And that, after all, is the main reason anyone would watch Tiger Cage 2. There are non-stop, expertly executed fight scenes, and most memorably, there is a rockin' sword duel between Donnie and John Salvitti. Salvitti is a real-life friend of Donnie's, and he's appeared in such classics as Private Wars (1993) and Shootfighter II (1996). Michael Woods, who played a heavy in the first Tiger Cage movie, here returns as "Black Henchman". In fairness, Salvitti was "Caucasian Henchman." fan favorites Robin Shou and the great Cynthia Khan also get in on all the high-kicking, bone-breaking action, making Tiger Cage 2 a must-see for HK action junkies. I got the trilogy on Blu-ray and on the disc they are two version: The Original Hong Kong Version which I have on CD and I prefer that version and of course the Malaysian cut has the alternate ending. In the ending they made Donnie Yen useless that last fight between Robin Shou, Donnie disappears; Robin fights off with Cynthia Khan but he is arrested in the end. Donnie Yen completely disappears so I hate that Malaysian cut!! There is a scene in Which Cynthia Khan fights this lady assassin Lam-Ling Leung Ms Leung on a murder on Petty Lee. It was a great fight choreography between Leung and Khan. Was always my favorite scene in the film in which Cynthia Khan pursues a hitman on a motorcycle in a red car. It was always my favorite scene. My favorite fight scene would be sword duel between Donnie Yen and John Salvitti. When Donnie Yen jumps over Salvitti and he swings with a sword in his back. Or when Salvitti uses his pony tail as a weapon to blind Donnie's eyes I love that. I love this movie to death. It is my favorite Hong Kong Action Film! Hard Boiled, Police Story II and Tiger Cage II are my top 3 favorite Hong Kong action films of all time!!!!
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenDan O'HerlihyIn a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.A classic one of the best Sci-Fi cyberpunk action movie one of my favorite films of all time. I grew up with this movie, it has a special place in my heart and I love it to death. Here you have everything: brilliant story, good actors, stunts, puppetry, models, and good Special Effects. This is Paul Verhoeven and Peter Weller's best movie from the 80's they ever made. To me the best classic masterpiece sci-fi cyberpunk futuristic action film of all time. It has tons of action, glass, it is bloody Rated- R. I am huge fan of this movie I have the underated cut on Blu-ray disc, but I am going to make theatrical cut just for my self. I love this movie to death! Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith he was later in Rambo III 1988) is the best villain with Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). Clarence Boddicker is one of the guys you want to party with it. Peter Weller's performance in this movie is the best! He swealter in the costum, he lost pounds and it was hard to walk in the titan costum. He could not fit in the car. I love the Music score by Basil Poledouris which it is my favorite score and it is a classic orchestra. Best scene: ED-209 moves its right gun-arm cannon on RoboCop (Peter Weller) but Robo grabs it and shoves it away just before ED fires. ED continues firing as Robo shoves the gun towards ED's left gun-arm, destroying it. ED-209 fires one of its missiles at RoboCop. The missiles were actual rockets guided with wires. RoboCop the original action futuristic film is up there with Demolition Man (1993) they are both great movies. So it is my personal favorite action film of all time.
- DirectorWoo-Ping YuenStarsJacky CheungCarol 'Do Do' ChengSimon YamA team of cops get brutally exposed to violence after raiding a drug operation and discovering a link between few members of the police force and an American crime syndicate dealing with drug trafficking.Tiger Cage (1988) for D & B Co. Ltd is to me the second best in the series and it is a police thriller. Directed by Yuen Woo Ping he directed all three Tiger Cage movies and In The Line of Duty IV. Jacky Cheung (Bullet in the Head), Dodo Cheng, Simon Yam (Bullet in the Head) and Donnie Yen (Tiger Cage II, In the Line of Duty IV, Once Upon a Time in China 2 etc.) star in this film telling the story of drug trafficking cops and gangsters and the violent struggle by the righteous officers to finish the illegal activities off from the streets of Hong Kong. There are some unexpected plot turns coming so there's no need in describing more about the plot which is after all nothing special and there only to give a good excuse to the many action scenes that are here as amazing as can be expected by Yuen. I love this film but it is not good as the second film which is my favorite. This is more Jacky Cheung vehicle then Donnie Yen. A Team of police officers in anti-drug unit - including Fong (Jacky Cheung) - bust a drug deal, when the dealer escapes, they find themselves being marked for death. Not only by the dealers, but by an informant and mole in their ranks. Carol 'Do Do' Cheng plays Insp. Shirley Ho Hsueh-Ling one of the good guys in this film. She played Petty Lee in the sequel. I really love this film but not as much as I love the second film. Fuck the third film!!! Donnie Yen is damn good when he fights off Michael Woods and of course Stephan Berwick on a playground. Simon Yam is damn good as Insp. Michael Wong who wants to escape with his scheme working with the drug dealers. The final climax the night scene works in the film and makes up for it. I love this film to death!!!
- DirectorJohn WooStarsJohn TravoltaChristian SlaterSamantha MathisTerrorists steal nuclear warheads from the U.S. military but don't count on a pilot and park ranger spoiling their plans.Broken Arrow (1996) is one of my favorite action films of all time I love this movie to death!!! It is a Die Hard movie in a Utah with very different story and it is a stand alone movie which I love that. John Woo never liked making sequels so A Better Tomorrow II (1987) was his last sequel he made, so I am glad this movie doesn't have any sequels, remakes or reboots. In my opinion the 80's had a lot of better action movies, but the 90's had a very cool action movies too. I still love Die Hard With A Vengeance to death and still love other action movies that were made in 90's. I love Broken Arrow to death! It is my favorite John Woo movie! This is a great film recently and it is a cool action movie. It's got action, excitement and interesting characters and Legendary music. I love this film. Christian Slater as the Good guy, the Hero was cool and John Travolta was an intriguing character and hilarious, damn what a rush. The action in here is amazing. Fun action, good acting, quick pace, and entertaining. The final sequence on the train has some quality explosions and even has bad guys killed by helicopter blades. The best thing about this movie though is John Travolta who hams it up beautifully; he is having an absolute blast as Vic Deakins, former US Air Force pilot turned terrorist loon. He also has one of the most over the top and awesome bad guy deaths of all time. I have always enjoyed this movie, I never felt bored I love the action sequences on the train when Hale (Christian Slater) uses one of his martial arts to defeat Deakins (John Travolta) was spectacular he deactivate the nuclear device and kills Deakins it was outstanding. Hans Zimmer theme for Deakins ripped off movie Scream 2 for Dewey (David Arquette) theme.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisJeremy IronsSamuel L. JacksonJohn McClane and a Harlem store owner are targeted by German terrorist Simon in New York City, where he plans to rob the Federal Reserve Building.Die Hard: With A Vengeance is the best 90's action film. I don't care if people say "oh it is Terminator 2: Judgment Day" I say Die Hard: With a Vengeance! It is very special and dear to my heart that is why is on this list in top 10 favorite action films. It is my favorite Bruce Willis film with The Last Boy Scout. It is my personal favorite action film of all time! I love this movie to death, I have DVD, Blu-ray disc and VHS about this movie. I kept VHS and DVD and I still have the Blu-ray disc about this film. Been fan of both of the films for almost 15 years and I still love them to death. I love the music, the action, the story, John McClane, the qoutes I love everything about this movie. I deply enjoy both of the films. Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995) is the third film in the popular Die Hard franchise, which re teamed Bruce Willis with John McTiernan, the director of the first film. It is my second favorite Die Hard film in the franchise. It feel's fast paced, more realistic and more action movie to me. Simon Gruber and his sex babe Katya are great couple on screen who fucked with McClane, I love that. Why can't we get villians like that nowdays? John McTiernan directed masterpiecful this both of the movies. John McTiernanis really missed he directed a great flcks. It is not boring or slow, I love the characters: John McClane, Zeus Carver, Simon Gruber, Joe Lambert, Connie Kowalski, Charlie Weiss, Katya and Mathias Targo. No CGI real action sequences, real explosions, real stunt performances. McClane fires a power line, severing it in to the helicopter blowing up the chopper to pieces amazing my personal favorite scene. I love this movie to death, this is my movie and it is my personal favorite action film. Die Hard with a Vengeance is my number 1 favorite action film it is tied with Die Hard I can't decide which is my favorite they are both favorite. I have this movie on Blu-ray, DVD and VHS tape. My aunt taped it for me and I still have this movie on VHS. I also have all 4 films on Blu-ray. This movie and the first one are special too me.
- DirectorGeorge P. CosmatosStarsSylvester StalloneBrigitte NielsenReni SantoniA tough-on-crime street cop must protect the only surviving witness to a strange murderous cult with far-reaching plans.Cobra (1986) is best Stallone action movie. Meet Dirty Harry in the 80's "The Strong Arm of the Law" - Cobra! From the 80's that Stallone made action films is the first stand alone film not meaning Rocky and Rambo. Cobra will never stop been my favorite best action movie horror thriller from the 80's that is out there. It is one of my personal favorite movies. I wish only the movie wouldn't be that short but still it was directed by George P. Cosmatos who directed Rambo this movie was made right after Rambo: First Blood Part II was released. Cobra is also a Cannon film and one of the best action horror thrillers that is out there. Cobra simply rocks! And it is a highly entertaining underrated action flick that guarantees the viewer a great show. Cobra is another one of those movies. It's not deep, it has a social message but doesn't really care about it. Its just pure old fun. The night slasher kills people randomly. He targets anyone, anywhere. The police don't have a clue, they can't stop him, all they can do is wait for the next death. But that all changes when Ingrid gets a good clear look at the chief of the gang. Yes, it's not one person, it's a group of killers that have set their minds on hunting the weak of society. Now they'll do anything to kill the only witness, the woman that can finish their 'dream' but they didn't count on one man: Marion Cobretti. The movie plays with the idea that murderers use the system to get away with their crimes. It explores the fear in society, the impotence of the courts and introduces Cobretti, a cop who doesn't care about the law only his justice. Although I don't agree with this I still enjoyed the movie since Stallone didn't spend much time making his point, rather went fast for the action. YOU'RE THE DISEASE, AND I'M THE CURE!!!!!!!! Cobra is a 1986 American action film directed by George P. Cosmatos, and written by Sylvester Stallone, who also starred in the title role. The film co-stars Reni Santoni, Brigitte Nielsen and Andrew Robinson. The film received negative reviews, with much criticism focused on the overuse of genre tropes, yet it debuted at the number one spot on the U.S. box office and became a financial success. The film was loosely based on the novel Fair Game by Paula Gosling, which was later filmed under that title in 1995. However, Stallone's screenplay was originally conceived from ideas he had during pre-production of Beverly Hills Cop, whose screenplay he heavily revised. He had wanted to make Beverly Hills Cop a less comedic and more action-oriented film, which the studio rejected as being far too expensive. When he left that project, Eddie Murphy was brought in to play the lead role.
- DirectorCraig R. BaxleyStarsDolph LundgrenBrian BenbenBetsy BrantleyA renegade cop is forced to work with an FBI agent in order to bring down a group of drug dealers with sinister plans.For a Dolph Lundgren fan like me is I Come in Peace aka...Dark Angel (1990) Dolph's best action science fiction bad-ass flick! I grew up watching this film as a kid when I was 9. years old.I have this movie on DVD and Blu-ray both releases from Germany. I love this film to death!!!! Schwarzenegger suppose to play the main hero, but after Predator (1987) become a huge hit and made a lot of money. The film makers cast Dolph Lundgren instead and they changed the screenplay. Dolph Lundgren did a lot of direct to video action movies that I haven't seen them yet, but I Come in Peace and Showdown in Little Tokyo are his best films he ever worked on them. I love this flick to death, I love it, it is my number 1 favorite film of Dolph Lundgren that I can always enjoy. My second favorite Dolph Lundgren film would have been Joshua Tree aka Army of One (1993). The third movie of his my favorite would have been Showdown in Little Tokyo. Number 4 would have been Skin Trade (2014) and number 5 Universal Soldier (1992). I absolutely enjoy Jan Hammer music theme score, I absolutely love the soundtrack for this film Touch Me Tonight by Shooting Star I have a blast watching this bad-ass flick from the 90's. I come in peace...And you go in pieces, asshole! The title of the film I Come In Peace was released in the United States and it was released as Dark Angel in other territories including Europe. This flick was released in 1990 the same year the following flicks were released that year those are: Predator 2, Marked for Death and Total Recall, from Danny Glover, Steven Seagal and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I saw the trailer of Dark Angel on VHS tape. Total Recall when I was watching it and I absolutely loved this flick, it was my wish to see this movie. 1st science fiction film from 1990 about criminals being picked off by an extra terrestrial, which the main character, a policeman's partner is also killed, with "Predator 2" (which was produced months later). I Come In Peace and Predator 2 are actually similar movies but if I would had to choose between those two films I would definitely pick Predator 2 over this. Why? because Danny Glover is more bad ass than Dolph Lundgren is in here and Predator is more evil brilliant cruel villain than Bad Alien (Matthias Hues) is.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.The Matrix (1999) is the best epic Science Fiction Action film. Starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano, Marcus Chong and Gloria Foster. This was be the first movie I went to see in the movie theater with my mom when I was 15.years old, when I read in the magazines about The Matrix I was blown away and I wanted to see it right away. The Matrix is the best action sci-fi films that Keanu Reeves made in the 90's. It is one of my personal favorite movies. It depicts a dystopia future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality called "the Matrix", created by sentient machines to subdue the human population, while their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Computer programmer "Neo" learns this truth and is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, which involves other people who have been freed from the "dream world". Written and directed by the Wachowski brothers, this classic sci-fi action film stars Keanu Reeves as a lowly computer programmer who discovers his entire existence, and that of all mankind, is nothing but a simulation in a computer. The reality within a reality is a concept that's done before... but never like this - The Matrix requires absolute attention from his audience, least you'll be completely lost in a few minutes. With the help of supporting cast members Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne-Moss, Reeves discovers that inside this simulation environment known as The Matrix, he can control, bend, and manipulate space-time... resulting in some of the most incredibly iconic images to ever grace the silver screen. The slow-motion "bullet-time" effects as they're known today were groundbreaking and revolutionary when we first saw them 12 years ago. Although Reeves is notorious for his inability to really convey much emotional range, his character here lends itself well to him as an actor. This is a movie that makes you think, makes you gasp, and makes totally forget where the 136-minutes went after finishing it. It's no wonder this film spawned two very successful sequels, and dozens of copy-cats. The Matrix, "Visually revolutionary, and mind-blowing." Keanu Reeves plays the main character, Neo, or Thomas A. Anderson and while he is not the perfect actor I think he does a pretty good job in The Matrix. He doesn't have the longest of lines which was probably a deliberate choice from the directors and it works because this gives him a better opportunity to work on posture and facial expressions and I must say that overall his body language is very good. Very clear and well defined. Laurence Fishbourne plays Neo's mentor Morpheus and he does an excellent job of it. His lines flow with a certain confidence and style that makes his character somewhat unique and interesting. Carrie-Anne Moss does a good job as well and succeeds in looking both cool and sexy in her leather outfit. She is so fucking hot, she is my favorite charcther in this movie. Effects wise the film is simply stunning and it deservedly was awarded the Oscar for best effects (and was regrettably cheated out of a nomination in the Best Film category) ahead of even Star Wars. The reason that I think The Matrix deserves the Oscar for best effects is simply that the effects in The Matrix are more innovative than the ones in Star Wars. Just take a look at how many times the effects have been spoofed and you'll probably agree. The effects also help in the symbolism of the film and in creating a very dystopia atmosphere not unlike the one seen in Blade Runner and this works brilliantly. I love this movie to death!!!!
