Got my film head on again.

Terminator 2 has to be up there.

Honourable mention for Game Of Death 2, the last half an hour is non stop Kung Fu.

Terminator 2 is one of the best films ever made… but you know another great action film Arnie did… Commando.

With such great one liners as “what happened to Salli?”

“I let him go”

And “don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired”

One of my favourite action films is The Terminator. Oh and I love Die Hard and The Bourne films too.

"The first John Wicket or Equaliser. Once you've seen one the others are little same old....."

I thought John Wick 3 was the best of the series.

I've seen No4 but didn't think much of it apart from the fight scenes on the stairs.

No3 had a lot of good spots in it.

All good suggestions, John Wick especially (maybe not 3 so much).

First Blood is a classic. Read the book if you can, it does differ from.the film so no spoilers lol.

Predator, commando, Die Hard, Terminator, Aliens all have honourable mentions.

So many to choose from, also it depends on mood. Right from intelligent action like The Raid, through to lazy comedy action like any Jason Statham. The Beekeeper was quite good. He took the mantle from Jean Clude.

Is Ronin action or thriller?

You could start an entire thread on the king of action, Arnie. The man is a god of action.

Arnie has been mentioned a lot, but his best action film must surely be True Lies made in 1993.

It's the best "bond" film ever made.

I really enjoyed Sisu, it's absolutely madcap and pretty recent.

My old git choice would definitely be Hard Boiled, though. There's something about Hong Kong grittiness.

With those car chases it's definitely action.

I'm going to throw Battle Royale in to the ring.

Already mentioned ‘The Raid’ and certainly others like ‘The Rock’ ‘Terminator 2 & Aliens’ are up there.

To add another that doesn’t seem to appear is Dredd (Judge Dredd) with Karl Urban, why we didn’t get more of this character is a mystery to me.

Not even close 200AD had Dredd storylines going back to the late 70s with stories set in mega city 1s mega blocks.

Both excellent films tho and very different.
