Paal_101 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 To my recollection we haven't actually asked this question on the forum, so I figured why not? Nothing like a good action film, full of blood, sweat, and smart-aleck heros. So what tops your list? For me, I'm a huge fan of less mainstream action films, usually imports or cult films. Here they are:1. Hard Boiled2. The Killer3. Boondock Saints4. Die Hard5. Equilibrium Obviously Die Hard is the only major Hollywood film on the list. Very few people seem to have heard of HB and The Killer, but thanks to Stranglehold its likely to change. Know that these films are being rereleased by Dragon Dynasty, so you can Netflix them and experience the true majesty of Hong Kong action films So those are mine! What are yours?

Mythos_Ruler Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 "Boondock Saints" is great right up until the comic book ending in the courtroom. Very lame ending.My submission:V for VendettaChildren of MenIndiana Jones and the Temple of DoomSerenityAliens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paal_101 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Great idea on honorable mentions, Aigis! Here are my five honorable mentions:Brotherhood of the WolfThe MatrixGladiatorCrank DesperadoIf you want a movie a little bit on the stranger side with some absolutely brutal fights, watch Brotherhood of the Wolf. It an amazing genre mashing French film that manages to throw elements of action, martial arts, historical drama, gothica, horror, suspense, and a little bit of erotica into an oil drum, roll it down a hill and then blow it up with spectacular results. For a demonstration, here is the trailer. DISCLAIMER! Know that it is a French trailer dubbed in English. It contains some nudity, so if you are a squeamish about such things, don't come crying to me saying "You never told me" Brotherhood of the Wolf Trailer As you can see a couple of big names in there, primarily Monica Bellucci and Mark Dacascos. Good film all round despite its weird mixture of genres. A must see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Never seen Brotherhood of the Wolf, but just by watching the trailer I am *guessing* that the hot chick one of the heroes is eyeing is one of the werewolves? Looks like there's plenty of nudity as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
