Ya I think mad max is number two for me. Exspecially the scene where they have the biker gang jumping over the gas truck. Always stood out to me and was awsome
Also everyone saying aliens do you like alien better like me or do you like aliens better.
Is Drunken Master really that good? I think I watched five minutes of the dubbed version on Netflix and I turned it off because I couldn't stand the dub. Worth sitting through, or should I try to find a subbed version?
I like Aliens more than Alien, but I will readily admit that Alien is the better movie.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best movies of all time.
It's either flawless or damn near.
It's an action movie.

That's how I am with the raid 2. Bought the dubbed virsion on accident and it's just so so bad. Need to get around to finishing it soon got about half way through then fell asleep because it was late.

die hard is perfection. predator is also close behind.
I'd have to let time decide if the Raid movies stand the test of time. I use to think movies like Hard Boiled and Ong Bak were classics but they haven't aged well.

Terminator, T2, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Die Hard are all valid answers.
I want to believe that Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair would also fit the bill but I never had a chance to see it...
Maybe Fury Road, too. Still need to rewatch that a bunch more times.
I don't know that I'll ever have a definitive answer anyway.

You got it right, OP.
Ahead of its time.
Die Hard
There's no question
Are the cops incompetent or is Gruber just that good?
Excelent taste.
Die Hard.

Ronin is probably the only action film I have ever enjoyed

John Woo's Hard Boiled
The Raid or The Raid 2
Mad Max Fury Road or Road Warrior
Commando
First Blood
Die Hard
Aliens
Terminator 2
The Wild Bunch
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Robocop
They are all acceptable answers to me. Honorable mentions go to Point Break, Predator, True Lies, The Matrix, Face Off, Kill Bill Vol 1, and many others that I'm forgetting. I will also add Cobra as an underrated action movie.

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)
You just picked my favorite action film and my favorite fight, OP.
I actually prefer Raid 1 to 2. Better pacing.
Mad Max Fury Road is way up there too. Love the chase scenes and stunts.
Jacky Chan 80's/90's HK films are at the top too. I can't choose between them. The way he pulls stunts and uses the environment in 'normal fights' is just unparalleled. Crazy guy.
Man, that final fight is freaking GLORIOUS and so completely over-the-top. I love it so much.

The GAF poll's already been linked in here, but I'm still amazed it didn't even make the top 5 there (despite only having one less #1 vote than T2), and that it missed the top 5 because a lot of people voting didn't even consider it an action film at all, much less the best one ever made.
That poll's also funny because people swear Fury Road got overrated, when I bet if you run it in another 6 months, T2 will drop beneath it.
As it should.

Yep, I'd have to say Terminator 2.

It's undoubtedly the best contemporary action movie.

The Raid deserves to be among the all-time greats like Die Hard and Aliens for sure. I wouldn't place it over those two, but it's up there.

Commando can't be an answer. When your main villain is a tall guy with a fat gut and spindle arms you don't enter the goat conversation.
I can't choose a best of all time, but my top 5 in no particular order is
Mad Max Fury Road
John Wick
Aliens
The Raid (1&2 interchangeable)
Dredd
Those are just the ones that immediately come to mind, there are probably several more I'd put on the same level if I thought about it.

TERMINATOR 2 gets my money.
Or The Matrix. Both are simply magic on a good surround sound system and their vfx stood the test of time.

John Wick and The Raid 2.
Mad Max: Fury Road is good, too.
If the Matrix counts as action (??), then it takes the crown.

See I would agree with you if that end fight with mad dog wasn't fucking incredible in every conceivable way
