Recommend me a (dumb) action movie.

So here is the deal: once a week I find myself in a boring compulsory lecture as a part of my solicitor training. I use this time well - watching movies with my friend. Since we cant use any audio or focus on dialogues only action packed movies have place in those marathons. But recently I have been running out of ideas.

We have seen more or less all action flicks that landed on any top 100 action movie list. Keeping that in mind recommend me some more.

Blade trilogy?

Navy Seals
Commando
Death Wish 3

I don't know how bad you want to get, but here's a few more:

Bloodmoon (Gary Daniels teams up with Eddie Murphy)
The Hitman (great Chuck Norris flick, memorable for the scene where he stuffs pork down a Muslims throat)
Hell bound (Chuck Norris vs. a demon)
The original Killer Elite (Peckinpah high on coke, and the greatest on-screen laugh ever by an actor; I know you can't use audio, but it's worth it for that one scene!)

Fuck it, I'll post it.

Any Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme movie.

Wanted
Shoot'em up
Kill-bill 1/2
Big trouble in little china
The Dark knight

Ong Bak




District 13

There are plenty here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/underrated-action-films.68811/

Already saw.

Saw those. Dont care for kun fu movies.

Much prefer the explosion and shooting kind of action, not martial arts.

Will check out.

Keep them coming guys, we usually see 2-3 movies one after another.

Also maybe what we saw already will help: all alien/predator/avp movies, die hards, terminators, everything from Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, everything from Statham, Boondock Saints 1&2, Underworld series.

Any Dolph Lundgren movie, then. There'll be some fisticuffs but he always blows some shit up.

Adding a proper soundtrack to this post

I still love the original soundtrack to Commando, a movie ripe with some of the best one-liners in action film history.

One of my personal favs:

General Kirby: "Keep on the airwaves and let me know if you hear anything unusual."

Soldier: "what are you expecting sir?"

General Kirby: "World War III"

Shoot Em Up
Cobra
Commando
Running Man
Big Trouble in Little China
Out for Justice
Hard Boiled

Second that! Roger Ebert and Siskel gave it two thumbs up! This was during the "high crime" era in the US, and they were rooting the fact that someone was "standing up" to crime on film.

Good times.

He has a strip off with some drug lady and gets his Harley turned into a jet-ski. All in the name of killing the redneck gang that murdered his parents and kidnapped his sister off their boat.


Can't go wrong with Lamas. The Rage has Gary Busey as a limp dick rapist who sends lumberjack death squads out. It's like Natural Born Killers, but good.

Then, once you're hot on Busey watch Bulletproof.

ITS TIME FOR HEROES AGAIN!

Show your appreciation next time you see one. Go on, hug a cop!

Ong Bak isn't even worthy of being called dumb. It's just so shitty it sinks without needing to flush.

I'll put in a vote for Navy Seals too. Can't go wrong with Mike Biehn and early-mid Sheen.

If you like yourself that Jackie Chan feller, you could do worse than Armor of God 1 or 2.

IN VIETNAM HE WAS THE BEST...HE STILL IS!

I'm sure this had to be mentioned here sometime, somewhere, but the all time greatest action cheese flick, Deadly Prey.



I still might have some invites to Cinemageddon, the repository of such turds, so if anyone wants want let me know.

Cinemageddon's gone dude. Or has been in some kind of terminal time out state for a year.

EDIT: Oh. They changed their IP address.

The last boy scout

That movie sucked hard, total misuse of Bruce's talents.

Crank & Crank 2
Punisher: War Zone

Le Dernier Combat (The Last Combat) is a good movie that has no dialogue. You will miss some sounds though.
