Bruce Willis does do some good action...

Mine would be Aliens though (the whole series!). It's hard to find a woman lead in a good action movie.

I love aliens. I think that the alien movies after it are terrible though.

Right now my favorite action movie is Crank. The action starts within 3 minutes, and it does not stop until the credits come. Litteraly. Plus it's also hilarious, so that's bonus points.

But I just saw that one recently, so until it took over the title, my all time favorite action movie was definitly The Fifth Element

I'm a really big fan of action movies. I'd say my favorite is Hard Boiled. It's a great Hong Kong cop flick.

I do wanna see the Marine tho.

#9 Oct 22nd 2006, 1:29pm

yeah. other than batman begins, i like terminator 2. it has lots of intense action and is pretty cool also.

#10 Oct 22nd 2006, 2:12pm

My most favorite ones are Initial D (The movie starring Jay Chou and Edison Chen), The Fast And The Furious- Tokyo Drift and 2 Fast 2 Furious. I will be creating a novel based on my views in these 3 stories. It's a 5 series one and it will be happening in an imaginary world instead of the real popular street racing grounds, but the cars are real, for instance, the Nissan Fairlady 350Z and the Supra.

It's funny. Lots of people like Batman Begins, but apprently, it was a flop in the cinema.

KUNG-FU HUSTLE!!!!! An excellent satire of the whole action/martial arts thing, but it still holds the awesome fights and the intense action in them, and then just throws in a little bit of sincere humor.

Awesome movie... however, if the people here don't like it, I can understand that... although it still is a good movie...

Anyway, Dios los bendiga

Yes, that was a great movie.

The best movie in recent memory was Mission Impossible III. It was better than I and II combined.

I have to say that I really loved the Matrix movies. Along with those, I also liked Pirates of the Caribbean, the Lord of the Rings, and some others. King Kong was okay, but I hated the ending... (The marching band in our school traveled on coach buses and we watched it on the bus... I had to keep myself from bawling like a baby in front of a bunch of sleep-deprived grouchy seniors and some of my frinds... haha)

#15 Nov 11th 2006, 1:58pm

Favourite actions movies...Crank, Bad Boys 1 & 2, The Rock, Doom, Matrix Trilogy, V for Vendetta, Riddik Series, House of the Dead 1 & 2 (2 is favourite, 1 is Uwe Boll), The Cave, A Man Apart, The Boondock Saints, Blade Trilogy, Training Day, Face Off, A History of Violence and the Die Hard trilogy.

#16 Nov 15th 2006, 2:04pm

Have any of you seen District B13? it is pretty cool. it might be hard to find it on tv, but they sell it on DVD.

i also really like Terminator 2. Terminator 1 was kinda boring, and T3 was just dumb (no offence if you like it), so i think T2 was the best of the trilogy.

were the Rambo movies good? i saw the first one, but are the other 2 any good?

#17 Nov 21st 2006, 5:10pm

My top movies:

1. Band of Brothers (tv series/movieish)

2. Black Hawk Down

3. Saving Private Ryan

4. Transporter 1 + 2 (some parts are lil hard to believe, but they make it seem pretty believeable)

5. We Were Soldiers

6. Windtalkers

I havent had a chance to watch Crank yet but I plan to. My suggestion is: if you havent seen some of these movies go out and rent them. Specially if your looking for great war movies. Also I reccomend reading Band of Brothers and We Were Soldiers Once and Young (books the movies were based on) They'll really help you figure out the whole idea of warfare.

#18 Nov 28th 2006, 6:42pm

Oh yeah! Besides of Initial D Live Action Stage and the Tokyo Drift...I also like the latest Hames Bond film..

Hey guys...what do you think about the new James Bond? Is he better than Pierce Brosnan? I prefer Pierce Brosnan back eben though the new Bond has a bodybuilder size body.

#19 Nov 30th 2006, 11:29pm

Oops...I pronounced James Bond wrongly...sorry

#20 Nov 30th 2006, 11:30pm

Personally, I prefered Sea Connery, he was the greatest.

Dani P, I wouldn't really count war movies as action movies. Action ones end to focus on the actual gunfights, car chases and the occasional steamy sex scene, whereas most War pnes tend to focus on the characters and how the war is affecting them and those around them...Saving Private Ryan is a perfect one. Near the end, where that German is totally stabbing a couple of US guys, while another US dude hides behind a wall crying. Actions movies would have him come around the corner duel wielding old pistols and shoot everyone.

In context:

Band Of Brothers: Plot, character development and the occasional gun fight.

Transporter 1&2: Totally unrealiastic gunfights and car chases (@ with the hooking of the bomb, though that was mint)

#21 Dec 01st 2006, 12:11am

Sea Connery..u mean Sean Connery?

#22 Dec 01st 2006, 12:48am

Yeah...there you go...(I don't tend to correct my typo's...ends up wasting space and taking extra time...like this...hehe)

were the Rambo movies good? i saw the first one, but are the other 2 any good?

The first was the best, the second was not bad, and the third sucked major **.

#24 Dec 06th 2006, 5:54pm

thanks for the info, BlackBird552. i recently saw Die Hard (finally) and i liked it alot. also, thanks for contributing to this forum. i was surprised at all the responses.

May Your Swords Stay Sharp!

The Matrix, baby! And, I liked Doom, X-men 1 and 2, Ultraviolet, The Rundown, And, this one movie with arnold shwartzenegger in it about some muslim group hiding warheads in vans to blow up the US.

Worst Action Movie ever: CATWOMAN.

#26 Dec 16th 2006, 1:29pm

FYI, the movie with Arnold the Govenator in it with the warheads is called True Lies, and it is a great action and comedy rolled into one.

#29 Dec 20th 2006, 6:33pm

Goblin hunter - Die hard is the BEST Chrissie movie. I mean there is nothing better than blowing up buildings to Beethoven's Ninth.

#31 Dec 24th 2006, 12:17pm

Hard trilogy is all the language. other than that, the Die Hard triolgy is one of my favorite action series. do any of you like Kill Bill Volumes 1&2?

#32 Dec 25th 2006, 11:01am

#33 Dec 25th 2006, 8:53pm

Saw FF7, and although I'm not a FF fan, I still think it was awesome.

#34 Dec 31st 2006, 6:57pm

What is Final Fantasy - Heard of it just dont know what it is.

#35 Jan 01st 2007, 11:26pm

it is a sci-fi fantasy videogame series. there have been two movies based on it and Final Fantasy VII is the more recent one. it is about a warroir dude (Cloud) who, along with his girlfriend & other teamates, take on an evil badguy and his goons. there are intense fights and it also has great animation. if you are anuy more curiose, you can go to Wikipedia and seach it.

#36 Jan 03rd 2007, 7:43pm

I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy. But if it counts as action then my favorite action movie would be Fight Club.

I'd have to put it up between Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith and the first Matrix movie.

For Star Wars, it really pulled the action of the series to a new level, and lightsaber duel on Mustafar was one of the best action scenes in any movie ever.

The Matrix, when it first came out, had a lot of originality. The slo-mo scenes were new a fresh, the story was amazing. The two sequels, while still prettty good, failed to set the same atmosphere as the first, which really detracted from the overall experience of the movies.

#38 Jan 23rd 2007, 4:44am

Van Helsing works for action. ::)) I'm just saying it's cool.

#39 Jan 23rd 2007, 4:52am

InViSiBlE wOmAn

YES I LOVE VAN HELSING!!!!! I also like the departed, i guess it's action kinda, I dunno it's a gangster story and I classified my gangster story I'm putting on here right now as a action so i guess so lol it's an awsome movie tho love love love it! same with the bourne movies but I have a crush on Matt Damon right now so i can't tell if I actually like the movie cause of the movie or just cause of him :P but the departed dominates all
