What would you say if someone were to ask you 'what the greatest action movie of all time is' ???
IMO nothing comes close to Terminator 2: Judgement Day
In conversation, I've had a few people say 'Aliens' which is a good one
One geek tried to say Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift after i said T2
and in the Robocop thread one fool said that was his favorite action movie
I'm interested in what yall would put up there.
congo is pretty good movie
Bloodsport
John Woo movies, Hard Boiled etc. Those are tough to beat.
Also Die Hard, Predator, Speed are still really entertaining to me.
I caught 20mins of Bloodsport on TV recently, god did that movie NOT age well lol. I watched that a hundred times as a kid.
my personal favorite is Predator I think though. that shit never gets old
I found Terminator 1 a much more interesting movie. Same as Alien, instead of Aliens. But one could argue the former is more a thriller than action movie.Quote:

My favourite (action) movie ever is Jurassic Park.
Jurassic Park is one of the greatest movies period. I think of it as a sci-fi though. Its more of an idea movie although the action is compelling.Quote:

Martial Arts should get a mention too, a lot of old Jackie Chan movies like Police Story have insane set pieces as well as Prodigal Son, Big Boss, Street Fighter, Shogun Assassin. Theres so many that are good that I can't do a comprehensive list.
Predator easy pick for me. Peace
I asked charles jones what his selections are, and here's his long ass response. lol
*****
Cobra with Sylvester Stallone, The Expendables 1 and 2 with Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, Bullet To The Head with Sylvester Stallone, Safe with Jason Statham, Parker with Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez and Nick Nolte, 48 Hrs 1 and 2 with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy, Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alyssa Milano, Bill Duke and Rae Dawn Chong, Above The Law with Steven Seagal, Pam Grier and Sharon Stone, Hard To Kill with Steven Seagal and Kelly LeBrock, Out For Justice with Steven Seagal, The Glimmer Man with Steven Seagal and Keenan Ivory Wayans, Exit Wounds with Steven Seagal, music rapper DMX, Anthony Anderson, Michael Jai White, Isaiah Washington, Eva Mendes and Bill Duke, Urban Justice with Steven Seagal and Eddie Griffin, The Last Boy Scout with Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans and Halle Berry, Die Hard 1,2,5 with Bruce Willis, Rambo First Blood 2 with Sylvester Stallone, One In The Chamber with Cuba Gooding Jr and Dolph Lundgren, Wrong Turn At Tahoe with Cuba Gooding Jr and Harvey Keitel, The Hit List with Cuba Gooding Jr, Action Jackson with Carl Weathers, Vanity aka Denise Matthews(RIP), Bill Duke and Sharon Stone, The Specialist with Sylvester Stallone, Sharon Stone, James Woods and Eric Roberts, Romeo Must Die with Jet Li, r&b music singer Aaliyah(RIP), Anthony Anderson, Delroy Lindo, music rapper DMX and Isaiah Washington, The Rookie with Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen, The Dead Pool with Clint Eastwood and Liam Neeson, Dirty Harry with Clint Eastwood, Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood, Sudden Impact with Clint Eastwood, Colombiana with Zoe Saldana, Bucktown with Fred Williamson, Pam Grier and Carl Weathers, Coffy with Pam Grier, Reindeer Games with Ben Affleck and Charlize Theron and Lethal Weapon 1,2,4 with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. It's really sad that action movies aren't coming to movie theaters anymore. It's a lot of corny movies at movie theaters now LOL. I'm gonna see Peppermint movie this weekend with Jennifer Garner. That's a action movie. Jennifer is hot. Ben Affleck is retarded for divorcing Jennifer.
My personal fav is Predator. It's the charisma of the team that steals it. Arnold's presence and the way the squad interacts with each other. Helps that the Predator is an awesome bad guy. I just wish they filmed a back up movie going with the original plan to have Van Damme play the Predator. That would have been ridiculously entertaining.
My other fav is actually the original Robocop. I loved it as a kid and when I rewatch it the movie isn't just some crazy action flick with robots but its got a lot of political satire. It's a deeper movie than most people think. Shame that everything that came after sucked hardcore.
Ben Affleck traded in Jennifer Garner for Jennifer Lopez, so I think he won in that instance.Quote:

I think predator is the only action movie worth watching. I can't stand the genre. Too retarded
I prefer Predator 2 over the first. The city setting just gives it a moar grimey feel.
Also T2, Aliens, Robocop, Total Recall. Too many to mention rly.
funny you say that because i always thought predators with adrian brody was one of the best in the franchise, even giving the original a run for its moneyQuote:

Yeah I thought it was great and very underrated. I'd like to see a sequel to that one some day. There is one in comic book form I believe.Quote:

Yeah 80s and 90s had great action flicks. My cousins and I as kids constantly would watch Predator, Aliens, T2, Commando, Running Man, Robocop, etc. A slept on pick is Navy Seals. At least I think that was the name without looking it up. Peace
Lolz I think we all prefer 80's n 90's action movies cos that's what we grew up with, n action movies r basically for kids or very simple minded adult males. Not saying they can't b enjoyed by an intelligent adult tho.
Nice poast number. I disagree though. Also, you're a faggot.Quote:

The best part of the movie is the team. They are good and they make the most of the screen time they get. If you liked Shane Black's previous movies and his writing, then you will like the comedy in this movie. But should a Predator movie be funny? Like I said it felt like a Marvel movie. Even the score, apart from the times they use the originals tracks the score sounds like some superhero movie shit.Quote:

If you make him a tank then he just becomes the Terminator instead. They try something new with the plot and dive into Predator lore and shit. When you do that you have to pay attention to detail and do it properly. It just doesn't work and gets ridiculous. I didn't expect much from this movie, I gave it a chance because I liked Shane Black's work. Since he was co-writer of the original I thought he would understand the movie better but no, it's not even a mindless action movie. It's a over the top Marvel movie which is average at best. The CGI of the steroid Predator is awful by the way. Some of the latest releases have terrible CGI.
That's not a very nice thing to say about another person, and I would appreciate it if u would apologise.Quote:

this is kinda like Noels rap thread.
I think it also has to do with those early action movies not being diluted with too much CGI. You will probably never see a small village literally get blown up and set ablaze in a newer movie like they did in Predator when they can just CGI it up. Even the best CGI is no match for the real thing.
Same reason I can't get into the newer Planet of the Apes movies with those fake ass monkeys. I'd rather watch the originals with people dressed up in shitty costumes.
oliva munn can't act
I didn't mean to call you a faggot. I love you.Quote:

Just saw new Predator flick. It was terrible. Peace
Yeah I saw the new Predator. I've already forgotten it.
The original had so much more tension and reality to it. The tone of this new one is all over the place. As Hanzo said its like a Marvel flick, but with a bunch of dated jokes thrown in. A lot of the story choices are utterly bizarre, like when the lead character shoots a guy in cold blood in front of his son or when Munns character theorizes that autism is the next stage of human evolution. Its like they were just making it up as they went along.
Agreed. It was pretty bad and the jokes and his whole crew felt very out of place.
Can't really think of much they did well. Maybe the 90's vibe that was there at times.
Yeah I couldn’t think of many positives as well. I mean I didn’t expect much out of it and it somehow still disappointed. Peace
Mine is probably The Man From Nowhere.
It's basically a Korean Jason Statham flick.
Sicario
Sicario is fantastic. Second was pretty good but nowhere near the first. Peace
