Allright gaf so I have been on a action movie binge lately. I have been watching a lot of them from local to forgeign. So I want to know gaf what is your favorite action movie. For mine its...

WOW!!!! I didn't know what to expect going into this film as it was the first foreign film I have ever seen. At first I was a little wary about having to read sub titles all the way through but my god was it worth it. The premise is simple a swat team has to clear out a tower of villains. What you actually get is some of the most fast paced intense action I have ever seen in my life. I never knew kung fu was so fucking cool. Trust me if you haven't seen this film stop reading this and go watch it right now. YOU WILL THANK ME!!!!

Best fight scene ever

Just watch the scene above and tell me thats not the greatest fight scene ever. (even though daredevils hallway scene is awesome to)

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

That would be Terminator 2.

 

[KurtSloane]

Die Hard

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Commando

 

[Azalean]

The Matrix

 

[StriKeVillain]

Aliens.

 

[Lunar15]

First three posts in this thread (including the OP) are correct. They're all the best, given the situation I'm in. Mad Max: Fury Road definitely in that list.

OP: Go watch The Raid 2. Lots of fun to be had.

 

[Sojgat]

Cobra

[yukonrye]

Die Hard

 

[Escape Goat]

That would be Terminator 2.

[| Praxis |]

Either Raiders of the Lost Ark, Die Hard or Aliens.

As for The Raid, not my type of thing. I get bored with constant fighting.

 

[Fallout-NL]

That would be Terminator 2.

Die Hard

Both excellent choices.

 

[jackissocool]

The Raid 2 is miles better than the first. My pick for GOAT.

 

[Drazgul]

Commando

Should've been first post but #4 isn't too bad. Commando is perfection.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

8 Diagram Pole Fighter

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

It's either True Lies or Terminator 2.

 

[Zabka]

I love the Raid but instead of building towards the finale it felt like it dragged at the end.

Aliens is my favorite. Either cut.

No, the best fight scene ever is jackie chan getting drugged up on opium at the end of The Young Master to beat Kam lol.

Or getting beat up by Yuen Biao and a bench earlier in the same film

 

[bananafactory]

Die Hard

There's no question

 

[kris.]

let's be honest, it's very clearly Die Hard.

also, OP, that isn't even the best fight in the series. watch the sequel ASAP.

 

[Brinbe]

Raid 2

Damn I knew I should have seen if we had a thread but the raid number 9 what is this sorcery.

 

[kunonabi]

Police Story although I personally prefer Police Story 2

 

[User 479360]

Terminator 2 or Die Hard

 

[Nibiru]

Aliens

 

[Rhaknar]

Die Hard

 

[TheXbox]

Aliens > T2 > Raiders > Die Hard

I don't where Fury Road goes, but it's somewhere. I need to sit on it for about a decade before I make up my mind.

 

[Dictator93]

Die Hard hits all the notes: comedy, tension, awesome action.

Hard to say though which action movie is my favourite.

 

[HoJu]

definitely not Die Hard because of the dumb cops who are beyond incompetent and the middle bit is a bit of a slog. best villain and hero though.
i'd say it's between Aliens, Mad Max Fury Road, and Terminator.

Are the cops incompetent or is Gruber just that good?

 

[Thewonandonly]

Damn what movie is this because that looks awsome.

Also I own the raid two but I bought the dubbed virsion and it's just so goofy sounding I can't stand it haha.

 

[Sephzilla]

Acceptable answers are Die Hard, Terminator 2, Mad Max: Fury Road, Aliens, and The Matrix

 

[Transistor]

Die Hard

 

[Chase17]

The Phantom Menace.

 

[FTF]

Wait till you see Raid 2...specifically that last hour. Dear lord it's amazing.

 

[flozuki]

Drunken Master II is awesome from start to finish while also being very lighthearted. I love that.

 

[True Savior]

It's Hard Boiled. Then Project A. Then Drunken Master. Then Zatoichi and the Chest of Gold. Then Police Story. Then Drunken Master 2. Then Eight Diagram Pole Fighter

And the best fight scene is, naturally, Jackie vs Benny Urquidez in Wheels on Meals

 

[thenexus6]

Ip Man.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Police Story although I personally prefer Police Story 2

Police Story 2 felt like it went on for too long

 

[Thewonandonly]

The Phantom Menace.

 

[Octavianus]

That would be Terminator 2.

The first was better.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

My #1 is The Bourne Ultimatum.

 

[HoJu]

probably both. but the police chief said that the guy who fell off the building was probably just a suicide even though he had bullets in him. dumb dumb dumb

Ip Man.

People should quit being idiots and post the names of movies if they've decided to use a gif.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Ip Man.

I will have to check it out for sure. Also heard the 3rd one was good and want to see mike Tyson fight (forgot his name :/).
