It made my original top 100 but I haven't felt much of an urge to revisit it in the past decade. I imagine that it has to do with the film surrounding it not really holding up - it is kind of a mess...

Gotta agree with MM on this one. Rocky is good, but even by the incredibly loose standards of this countdown it barely qualifies as an action movie - if at all. Interestingly, a quick scan over the...

Where they should be - not on this list.

Anyway, I guess I might as well put up my list. Green ones made it, red ones were honourable mentions, and blue ones didn't show.

Probably. It's interesting to see how so many of the opinions about The Dark Knight expressed in this thread run along the lines of "Ledger is good, the rest not so much" to some degree or another...

Mad Max: Fury Road was my #19. I like Aliens and Ghost in the Shell but didn't vote for either one.



Yeah, I think this might explain why, despite my currently having it rated at 4.5 and in my...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

Raiders was my #1. It's been a favourite for as long as I can remember watching movies and revisiting it for the umpteenth time last year shows that it holds up just great not just as an action movie...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

Predator was my #13 - in hindsight, I'm surprised I ranked it higher than Total Recall yet lower than Commando. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is good - though I do prefer Vol. 2, I can't fault it too hard on the...

The original, without a doubt. The director's cut is genuinely terrible - the prologue I mentioned adds nothing, the comic-book transitions seriously mess with the film's pacing and just look ugly,...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

The Terminator was my #3. Simply sublime. I gave The Dark Knight a rave review on its release but revisiting it last year didn't do it too many favours.

13 Assassins is alright and I really do...

In hindsight, it seems especially silly when I decided that Hot Fuzz was action-y enough to put on a list but Blues Brothers wasn't (must be all the shooting of guns into the air and going aaaah). In...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

I obviously think of Blues Brothers as a comedy/musical that happens to have a few car chases and explosions in it, otherwise it would've been my #1.

Wow, Seagal making the list instead of Chan really throws this into perspective. That's like Nickelback making a list of great rock albums instead of Pink Floyd.

Empire Strikes Back is great, but I didn't vote for it. Not sure why I made the conscious decision to avoid voting for any Star Wars films, but there you go. It obviously didn't need my help.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

Couldn't go even one round without getting it wrong, could I?

RoboCop was my #17. Kind of an easy choice that doesn't really need to be talked about in detail.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

Cool, three of my picks made it.

Total Recall was my #16. Definitely one of the best Schwarzenegger movies - looking back at my list, I'm surprised I didn't rank this higher. Helps that it's got a...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

I hate to say this, but "Stick around" is from Predator.
