- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisJeremy IronsSamuel L. JacksonJohn McClane and a Harlem store owner are targeted by German terrorist Simon in New York City, where he plans to rob the Federal Reserve Building.I love this sequel I was thorn between the first and the third movie but the first movie won by me. It was directed again by John McTiernan in the 90's. Improvment over Die Hard 2 by me. Great sequel but I still love the first one more. They are both equal in the Die Hard franchise in my opinion. Not everyone likes this movie, I met years ago on my other but old YouTube account some guy claming that Die Hard 2 is better than 1 and 3 I know it was his opinion, but it wasn't nice by him when I said Die Hard With a Vengeance is better than Die Hard 2 and he disagreed with me and he start an argument with me by the end he gave up. The first movie will be always the best one. Die Hard With a Vengeance has a ton of action in it. It has brother of Hans Gruber getting revenge on McClane but it was a bigger heist than in the first movie. When I was in high school I kept watching this one and the first movie they are both great in my opinion. To me was again realistic. John McTiernan was a great director, it is really a shame he is no longer in the movie buisnes like Marco Brambilla is no longer directing movies he directed Demolition Man my favorite action film. I love the opening scene you see cars really beautiful music score. Someday I might going to review all Die Hard movies on YouTube maybe in here but no one really reads my reviews anymore no one cares so I want review it in here.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisAlan RickmanBonnie BedeliaA New York City police officer tries to save his estranged wife and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.One of the greatest kick-ass bad-ass action 80"s movies. One man army against a team of terrorist. To me the movie felt realstic. I love Die Hard With a Vengeance to death but the first one is my favorite. Is the reason why I went too in Die Hard movies in the first place. Die Hard 2 is not in this list because it is not my favorite but I love it so much. This movie has ton's of action it is directed from John McTiernan who directed Predator. This movie is mentioned every where. Do I love it more than First Blood tough I am Rambo fan? Yes! I love this movie much more than First Blood beats First Blood. Die Hard is a bad-ass action movie of all time. I did review this movie!
- DirectorJohn WooStarsJean-Claude Van DammeLance HenriksenYancy ButlerA woman hires a drifter as her guide through New Orleans in search of her missing father. In the process, they discover a deadly game of cat and mouse behind his disappearance.Jean-Claude Van Damme is "Hard Target" one of my personal number 1 action favorite films of all time. Hard Target, Cobra, Predator 1 and 2 and Rambo III are equally favorite action films of mine. This is John Woo's best film in my opinion he made it in the USA. My favorite number 1 Jean-Claude Van Damme film his best one. I love the action scenes, the gory kills, Van Damme with two guns love his line: Give it a rest, pal and bang bang he shoots the bad guy in the motorcycle suite. "Hunting season... is over" and he launches grenade in to the bad guy. John Woo directed this film and he directed great.
- DirectorGeorge P. CosmatosStarsSylvester StalloneRichard CrennaCharles NapierRambo returns to the jungles of Vietnam on a mission to infiltrate an enemy base-camp and rescue the American POWs still held captive there.Pure-bad ass action film of the 80's of all time my number one favorite Rambo action movie of all time.

Kick-ass bad-ass action film my absolutely favorite film of all time. Yes Rambo III is my favorite action film of all time. Crimminally underrated. I love this film to death this is 'Over the top Gun Blasting, C4 Tipped Explosive Arrow Blowing Up Helicopters' Rambo. It was the first Rambo movie I saw as a kid. This is my second favorite film Rambo III is my favorite action film. It grew on me.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenDan O'HerlihyIn a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.RoboCop (1987) is one and the only one the original masterpiece RoboCop action sci-fi flick the 80's the best one of all time. It is my number 1 personal favorite action film it is right there with the Rambo films. This is ultimate awesome 80's movie one of the best movie ever. It is rated R action film with special effects, doesn't deal with CGI you have a lot of action blood squibs, business mens. Good cop been blow away and he is pieces together: part human part machine ultimate action film ever. Great Music Score by Basil Poledouris I absolutely love the theme for the RoboCop. Peter Weller is Officer Alex J. Murphy/RoboCop the only one. The film has a satire and a message in here. You'll see lots of heavy automatic, shot guns, handguns and explosive weapons with multiple huge explosions, with thousands of bullets fired in this movie. Bob Morton (Miguel Ferrer) is the heart of this film and I love him so much. The movie it self has heart and soul in it, the fact is you have a human being who loses his humanity and it brought back to life, he is resurrected and he is a superhuman super cop who once again regains his humanity and his trouble been robot and human. You really feel sad for Alex who loses his family and everything. I love this movie to death!
- DirectorMarco BrambillaStarsSylvester StalloneWesley SnipesSandra BullockA police officer is brought out of suspended animation in prison to pursue an old ultra-violent nemesis who is loose in a non-violent future society.The best sci-fi futuristic 90's action movie from Stallone to grace on a movie screen ever. Demolition Man is one of the best sci-fi futuristic action 90's movies from Sylvester Stallone to grace on a movie screen ever. It is Rated R for non-stop action violence, and for strong language It is my personal favorite action movie of the 90's. Belongs right there with Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Sylvester Stallone is LAPD officer John Spartan the 21st century's most dangerous cop and Wesley Snipes is Simon Phoenix the 21st century's most ruthles criminal. This is a bad-ass futuristic action film it is in my top 15 favorite action films of all time. It is my personal favorite action film that is dear to my heart.

- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerCarl WeathersKevin Peter HallA team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.Predator is one of the greatest action films of all time, it is my personal number 1 favorite Schwarzenegger movie in the sci-fi action genre. It is also my favorite action film of all time. This movie is a perfect 10 it is the finest action movie of all time! I grew up with the film it was my first "Predator" film I saw as a kid in the trilogy. We can say it is the best one in the franchise it is people's favorite movie in trilogy.
- DirectorStephen HopkinsStarsDanny GloverGary BuseyKevin Peter HallThe Predator returns to Earth, this time to stake a claim on the war-torn streets of a dystopian Los Angeles.Predator 2 is almost good as the original. It is my personal favorite action film it is not better than the first Predator (1987) because original Predator is everyone personal favorite action movie it is mine. This sequel in my opinion is a good action slasher movie as the original, I love this film to death. It has bad-ass good music score theme from Alan Silvestri. Has solid cast, tons of action and gore horror elements in it. It is mixed between those two elements. The Predator Is an alien mysterious fierce adversary with supernatural power. There is a war in Los Angeles a rival Colombian and Jamaicans drug cartels declared war against cops on the streets during the hot summer.
- DirectorSheldon LettichStarsJean-Claude Van DammeHarrison PageDeborah RennardAn Ex-French Soldier begins participating in underground street fights in order to make money for his brother's family."When the streets are a jungle, there can only be one king - Lionheart!" Yes I replaced Universal Soldier with Lionheart! I love Lionheart to death it is my favorite action film, with martial arts style. The best of Van Damme it is my personal favorite action film. I saw Lionheart before I even saw Universal Soldier and I love Universal Soldier to death but in my opinion Lionheart is my second favorite Van Damme movie. A powerful beautiful movie who deals with the real street fighting in a modern day of a gladiator fights for the money and the amusement of the rich. Lionheart is one of the best martial arts films from Van Damme, which it is mixed with martial arts, action and drama. It is a beautiful movie, Jean-Claude Van Damme's best acting performance I have seen. His character has a good heart, like he gives money to the poor people. It is my eight personal favorite Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. love Van Damme kicking ass like that Scottish opponent on a cars almost kills him. Fighting his next opponent in a pool defeating him but pulls him out of the water. Van Damme punches Sonny (Jeff Langton) in the balls awesome fighting sequence in the movie ever. Van Damme fights with a guy in a indoor court kicks him so hard with his leg in stomach that his opponent fly's trough glass- spectacular kick-ass scene. Van Damme is the king of the lions for me! The fight against Attila is one of the most epic fight scenes, I've ever seen. That fight to me personally felt a realistic. The punches and blood felt real.
- DirectorLen WisemanStarsBruce WillisJustin LongTimothy OlyphantJohn McClane and a young hacker join forces to take down master cyber-terrorist Thomas Gabriel in Washington D.C.To me this is a best action film from 2007 it is a modern action film, my personal favorite action film of all time, it works it is a bad-ass fourth sequel. Bruce Willis is still John McClane fighting cyber internet terrorists in a old school fashion. Die Hard 4.0 is more basic Die Hard movie by the book beacuse in the book his daughter was the hostage not his wife. This movie completely goes by the book, the way it was written by Roderick Thorp's novel Nothing Lasts Forever (1979). Die Hard 4.0 is based on a different novel "A Farewell to Arms" by John Carlin. I enjoy this movie much more than Die Hard 2, the pacing is much better, the action is great, is much better to me and even the plot is better than in Die Hard 2, it is perfectly executed. I know Len Wiseman hates the color, he was forced to shoot with digitally camera the colors and the scens, to me the colors look fine and I don't mind it. Maggie Q is a bad-ass as Mai Linh second henchman and girlfriend to Thomas Gabriel. She is not better than Karl (Alexander Godunov) but she was better than Sam Phillips as Katya. Because Mai Linh kicked McClane's ass. She was sexy, hot and gorgeous babe. I really love her. Bruce Willis is great again as always as Detective John McClane he fits his role perfectly and reprise his iconic role great. Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Lucy Gennero-McClane did a fine job, I like her. I love the Pictures and the actions. Timothy Olyphant as Thomas Gabriel the villan did a good job I love his villain. Timothy Olyphant was excellent I buy him as a bad-guy. I love the music score by Marco Beltrami who replaced Michael Kamen who did a music score for the first three Die Hard movies. Sadly Michael Kamen past away and he couldn't come back for making the music score for the fourth installment of Die Hard film. Even with PG-13 this movie works as an action film, it has tones of action in it.
- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsSylvester StalloneJohn LithgowMichael RookerA botched mid-air heist results in suitcases full of cash being searched for by various groups throughout the Rocky Mountains.Cliffhanger is Stallone's best action 90's movie of all time! I love this film to death, it is one of my personal favorite action movies and personal favorite Stallone movies. It is practical, they are practical dangerous stunts. They are real models, the real Rocky Mountains not CGI graphic dated. The scene locations were filmed in Rome, Lazio, Italy. They are the real Rocky Mountains, tough the movie is set in Colorado, USA. Everyone of the cast even director did an amazing job. It is man vs nature vs hijackers, "Die Hard" on a mountains.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.I have not review this movie I probably want review it. I am planing to quit IMDb cause I am just sick and tired been blocked on here. But the real trolls can get away with it. I will start making my own video reviews on YouTube. I will review them there. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of the greatest action movies of all time. Arnold Scwarzenegger as T-800 and Robert Patrick as T-1000 are believable in their roles and they are pure bad-asses two Terminator sent from the future in the past to fight each other for the future and a human resistance.
- DirectorChad StahelskiStarsKeanu ReevesMichael NyqvistAlfie AllenAn ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters who killed his dog and stole his car.Yes I love John Wick to death it is a Non-stop action, I am a huge Keanu Reeves fan I love his movies. But John Wick from 2014 is one of my personal favorite action films of all time. It is bad-ass fast paced action revenge movie about a new kick-ass action hero one man army type. Directed was by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch who both did well job done. The story, the action, the gun blaze action is all in here. Explosions heavy automatic weapons who are used well.Adrianne Palicki as Ms. Perkins was great villain as lethal assassin who was hired by Viggo Tarasov to kill John Wick that is one of the reasons why I love this film to death. The fight between Ms. Perkins and John Wick is bad-ass I love it. I love Ms. Perkins to death I love, love, love and admire Adrianne Palicki so much.
- DirectorJohn WooStarsChow Yun-FatTony Leung Chiu-waiTeresa MoA tough-as-nails cop teams up with an undercover agent to shut down a sinister mobster and his crew.Yes Hard Boiled (Lat sau san taam) is one of the greatest bad-ass best Hong Kong action - cop movies ever made of all time. I disagree with reviews who give this movie 3, 1, 4 or even 6 I think they don't know how to a rate a good 90's action movies . This is to me the best Chinese action movie from director John Woo that he directed and his last one. I love Lat sau san taam to death. It is one of my personal favorite action films of all time. The action sequences are among the greatest ever filmed.
