Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread

Seriously there was implied tentacle rape ending with the victim's murder at the hands of a subterranean monster. But it's not really rape because she liked it. At least up until the murder. I was like, this is writing?

this exact same scene happens in the movie "Forbidden World" (aka "Mutant")

le samourai an example where action/thriller line getting blurred

ilxors, tell me about le samourai

Amazing existential film noir, where motives are completely obscure and can only be inferred by the action that Jeff (is it? Delon anyway) eventually takes. Full of coded ambiguous decisions and looks, and as a consequence the viewer is kept in a perpetual state of uncertainty. Great grey-green Paris.

the o.g. conan books are kind of energetic and fun but you can tell they were written in the 30s, a bit creaky and impolitic, yes.

(speaking of which, has anybody on earth seen the biopic of robert e howard??

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118163/

vincent d'onofrio and renee zellweger)

(this is my last derail i promise)

late to thread but here's Alex Cox on seeing The Wild Bunch as a kid
in Liverpool (he was sneaked in by masons!)

jesus christ i just almost downloaded the 2011 conan

i saw it a long ass time ago goole. i liked it but i was like 12 or something

Is that the one where he lives in a hovel with a bird?

Yes. Inaction movie is bang on

Yeah Forbidden World was pretty WTF.

Robert E. Howard was a weird dude. lived with his mom, shot himself when she went into a coma etc

xp

PS speed 2 probably would have benefited from an aelstorm soundtrack

^alestorm

speaking of which, has anybody on earth seen the biopic of robert e howard??

xp That's kind of an amazing film if you're familiar with REH's work and sad short life.

i am willing to bet that Speed 2 is a better movie than speed despite never having seen S2 because well at least it isnt Speed 1.

smh

well then yr nonvote cancels out mine

haha

i also talked myself down from the ledge of "if starship troopers doesnt make top 5 you are all filthy animals" rant by hey asshole remember when you didnt vote so stfuing myself so

jjj did you ever see Forbidden World? I know AP and I saw it together and I'm pretty sure you weren't there, but it also seems like the type of movie you would have seen on your own anyway

lemme chk imdb

it is aka "Mutant"

it's a ripoff of Alien with a lot of boobs in it, as well as the world's worst interspecies sex scene

Are there any good interspecies sex scenes?

On second thoughts don't answer that.

it is aka O.o

i have not!

xposts and maybe i wont! nah who am i trying to kid, thats like 10 levels less O_O then 90% of the stuff i choose to watch

human centipede 2 is now avail on dvd fyi

I'm irritated at myself for not voting in this either. Will probably slash my wrists if a Michael Bay ends up on this list.

Michael Bay movie that is.

imo le samourai is awesome because of how the blocking is central to the story above dialogue or action-y action

it was #5 on my list behind some wishful-thinking write-ins

its almost like watching a jacques tati movie w/ a tiny cast and unease instead of whimsy

I hate Michael Bay almost as much as I love Bad Boys & Bad Boys II, but I have already established that my taste in movies makes no sense.

le samourai & get carter are now top priorities. v excited

awesome music too

If you haven't seen it Point Blank fits in that mode as well. Might as well put it in your queue before it (better be) is mentioned here.

Does this list really have no Kurt Russell so far?

overboard is a lock for top 15 i think

no way will that beat the Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes

I probably already posted this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY4bL_bO8sA

that owns

save it for when point blank is in the top 10 ^__^

Does this list really have no Kurt Russell so far?

I was hoping that Executive Decision would sneak onto the list somewhere.

Escape from New York!

overboard is a lock for top 15 i think

lol

I have seen that move more times than any one person ever should. It's one of those things that always seemed to be on TV.

x-post YES

would expect either EFNY or Big Trouble in Little China to place. The Thing is amazing/his best role but dunno if enough people consider it an "action" movie

where is Roadhouse going to place

i voted for for the thing

dodgy Kurt Russell picks I have seen again lately: Soldier

movie that is forgotten since it somehow became a tv franchise: STARGATE

I just got the sinking feeling I forgot to vote for Roadhouse. Will have to look at my ballot once I get home.

Overboard is hilarious.
