The MoFo Top 100 Action Movie Countdown

Grandmaster is the only film here I haven't seen. Escape from New York was on my short list, but I think I forgot about it when I was deciding on my final 25. That poster for Cliffhanger always makes me really cold whenever I see it.

Seen: 36/40
My List: 3, 1 honourable

04. Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
07. Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)
21. Crank (2006) (H)
23. Taken (2008)

Yuen Woo-Ping's done way way way way way way way better.

I think most of my 25 will be an honorable mention.

Escape from New York and The Fugitive were good, but I didn't vote for them. I don't like Bourne. Actually I don't like Matt Damon. I've not seen Yojimbo, but judging by my experiences with other Kurosawa films, I think I'll like it.

From the Honorable Mentions, I loved Beverly Hills Cop and Cliffhanger when I was a kid, but I haven't seen either in a very long time.

65. Escape from New York #29 on my list. Kurt Russell's second best preformance after...well, you wanna hash this out? Which is his best performance? Discuss. An interesting take on the "dystopian future society mix with prison movie." Alien 3 did a simmilar thing, but then it was more ordered and I think this movie did it better. Agree/disagree?
64. The Grandmaster The first movie on the list I'd never heard of.

Hold on one second. *Watches trailer*

Ok, so it's the story of Ip Man again. Have seen the first Ip Man, have to agree with Omni, a bit slow for an MA movie.
63. Yojimbo So far the second Kurosawa I've seen, the first being Ran. Wasn't completely sure that it wasn't ment to be a comedy. Still, good fight scenes, worthy of the list. For my thoughts:

62. The Fugitive Had this solidly in thriller, wouldn't have categorized this as action. Besides a foot chase through Baltimore and a tumble down the stairs with a one-armed man I can't recall any action scenes. Love the movie, but not sure it should be on the list. Am I wrong?
61. The Bourne Identity Solid action/thriller spy movie with well choreographed fight scenes and a killer final scene between Damon and Owens. Look what they make you give, indeed.

Seen: 33/40

Honorable mentions: 18/24

Clearly Tango & Cash.

Ong Bak was the only one i voted for today i had it at #21. Seen them all except The Grandmaster which i want to see since i've been getting into Wong Kar Wai.

The Grandmaster is also very slow. Way too much emphasis on visuals and wuxia-style storytelling.

Seen: 29/40
My list: 2

12.Lethal Weapon 2
18.Escape from New York

That's surprising to me. Chungking Express was very well paced IMO and that is a romantic drama film, you'd think an action film of his wouldn't be slow either. Well i'll see when i get to it.

I wouldn't mind the pace if the story were worth a damn.

I'm sure Ip Man can be done justice, but even a highly romanticized version like this strains to engage me with it's constant existentialist dialog. If Yuen Woo-Ping wasn't just doing the fight scenes, it wouldn't look as pretty, but it'd be a hell of a lot more entertaining.

I hope Con Air and The Rock have made it. Two classics!

Great 5 movies right there, most of them could easily be top 20. I watched the Grandmaster but dismissed as yet another IP man movie that strangely doesn't have IP man doing most of the fighting.
