Hudson Hawk yall
Darwin Mayflower: I'll kill your friends, your family, and the bitch you took to the prom!
Hudson Hawk: Betty Jo Byarski? I can get you an address on that, if you want.
Hudson Hawk: If the Mario brothers weren't New Jersey's third-largest crime family, I'd say, "Kiss my ass." But considering your status, I will say, "Slurp my butt."
Edit:
Tommy Five-Tone: That doughnut-hole-eating, son-of-a-bitch, take-it-in-the-ear-for-a-beer, rat bastard!

Love Cliffhanger (Stallone's best of the 90s) and Doomsday, don't like the others.

Ok I totally fucked up with not listing The Rock. In fact, that plus Executive Decision was the whole reason I even thought of making this thread :lol
I have to say it's probably my favorite action movie of the 90s. I remember my parents not letting me watch it but they went out one night, we had HBO, and the rest is history. They came home halfway through and said "Well, you've gone this far, may as well finish it"
Sean Connery is amazing, Nicholas Cage is a perfect newb, and Ed Harris is very likeable. I remember I couldn't stop saying 'Ill take pleasure in guttin you....boooooy" for ages :lol
Adding on to Executive Decision, I can now pinpoint the moment where I became afraid of sitting next to window seats in a plane. Fuck that
I did list Drunken Master II in there!
Regarding The Patriot, that list I linked to lied to me and said it was a 90's movie ):
Yeah, Saving Private Ryan isn't really action but it was on the wiki list so that's the only reason it's up there too. I don't think action movies are supposed to make you cry
Alphahawk...RAILGUNS man, RAILGUNS
And lots of the movies you guys are posting about me not having on the list...I sadly haven't watched them! I'll take your suggestions though and add them to my Netflix immediately, starting with Passenger 57

:lol First thing i thought of too.SpacLock said:
There are some great suggestions here but overall the 80's was better for action.
Lets hope The Expendables helps regain the awsomeness of that era's action films.

Hard To Kill
Out For Justice
I know Under Siege was mentioned in the OP, but Seagal doesn't get enough love for his early films, they're fucking bad-ass.

Anyone uh, catch any of these 'gems' ?
A lot of my late teen years, I ended up stumbling on the entire Andy Sidaris body of work. Yep...90s ahoy! He also did some earlier stuff but it seemed to come into its own in the 90s.

Every movie I would possibly name-drop got name-dropped.
It is mentally, psychologically, and physically impossible for me to ever get tired of The Fifth Element. Fake stealth edit: I also love the Eric Serra song at the end of the movie because it is unbelievably so '90s-sounding, it hurts.
Edit:
^ Speaking of Judge Dredd, lately I've been on such a "Dredd Song" by The Cure kick. Depresses the heck out of me, though. :/

Sad that a 2000-10 action movie thread will be so tiny in comparison. 90's was end of an era

I imagine it's because 2000-10 was dominated by every attempt at a big-name comic book movie from X-Men to The Dark Knight, along with the fantasy kick with Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter films, Narnia, etc. Could be wrong, though.

WARNING: REALLY nerdy observation about The Last Boy Scout:
There's a line if I remember the movie where Bruce Willis is driving a car super fast, and Damon Wayans tells him to slow down or "We'll go back in time." That line made it into the original Die Hard Trilogy game for PS1 in the Die Hard with a Vengeance driving game spoken by the actor who's supposed to be Samuel Jackson/Zeus. I thought that was some random shit there and can't believe I would recognize such a throwaway line.
And man, The Crow is an awesome '90s movie, period.

FYE always has like a bin of $5 DVDs and actually snagged The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger a few years back. I have yet to open them and I have not seen any of these movies since I was a kid.
It's funny how as a geek I should hate Batman Forever because it is, for the most part, a lousy Batman movie ("It's BOILING aciiiiiiiiiiiiddddddd!!!!!"), but I always have some nostalgic soft spot for it because I saw it in a movie theater when I was 10 with my father. At least I didn't drag him to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Plus, I love "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me," even if it got a Razzie nomination for Worst Song. :lol

True Lies is the best action movie of the 90s (where is the Blu-ray?)

I had this period in my adolescence where I didn't like True Lies after loving it as a kid because it seemed like such a cheesy action movie compared to other action movies I'd seen until I grew up and realized that was kind of the point.
Remember when 20th Century Fox used to do super duper Five-Star Collection DVDs for movies like Independence Day, Speed, The French Connection, and The Sound of Music? To this day I hold a grudge against them for never doing a True Lies Five-Star DVD...

So I just watched Passenger 57. Wesley Snipes is always a treat, but goddamn some parts of that movie are corny as hell, especially the whoopwhoopwhoop from the passengers after it's all said and done :lol
"Always bet on black" is a badass line though
Judge Dredd is next!
