Boondock Saints
What IS it with people and this sodding film?
A-fucking-men.
Hooray for Aliens.
-
Last Man Standing Yojimbo, except without Toshiro Mifune and with a semi trailer's worth of 1920's firearms in place of swords.
-
Die Hard Solid engaging stuff, considering its apparent place at the vanguard of 80's action flicks.
-
Way of the Gun For those of us who like gunfights with just the slightest hint of realism. Also, damn fine writing and playful employment of tired cliches
-
A Better Tomorrow 1/2 #2 primarily for the last 15 minutes...my my my.
-
Heat OK, so the characterizations are hit-or-miss. But it's a solid crime epic, and the gunfights are brutal.
-
The Wild Bunch still holds record for "most mexicans killed in one movie."
-
Red Dawn Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen vs. the combined Soviet and Cuban military machines. Classic!
-
The Warriors Not a 'bang-bang' shoot-em-up, but solid fights, fantastic atmosphere, and a solid hit of machismo cheese.
-
RoboCop It's fucking RoboCop.
-
DeathRace 2000 Not sure if it's the buckets of splattering gore, car designs that would not look out of place as a highschool float design, or Sylvester Stallone's performance (unmatched until
Over the Top 13 years later). Whatever it is, it's classic and completely willful 70's camp filmmaking.
-
Wasabi Jean Reno reunites with the daughter he thought he never had. A classic tale of Father-Daughter bonding. Oh, and he punches people, causing them to fly 30 feet through the air. Almost forgot about that bit.[/b]
