In my honest opinion, you could shoehorn in an all out brawl in some random grungy nightclub with neon lights and EDM in any movie and I'd lap that shit up. These are the standout scenes in any movie they're in that I've watched (except maybe Nolan's)

Watching The Fast And The Furious franchise as (kid) vs watching it as an (adult), did your opinions change over time as you grew older or did it remain the same as when you watch it for the first time as kid.

What I'm trying to say is, do still enjoy the movies as if you were a kid seeing all these races and cars for the first time thinking to yourself ok this fun.

or did your opinions change as you grew older into your adult years and found them to be bad and cheesey.

"RUNAWAY" (1984) - fond memories of this 80s sci-fi action film with an interesting and familiar cast. Bit dated now but an intriguing idea, decent direction and fun to see Selleck in this kind of role. Any fans of this one?

Underrated film

This movie was awesome, it has cool ass action sequences, a badass story of revenge. This film never plays it safe which I like. It's raw, it's gritty, it's badass. Kind of sad we never got to see Rain in more movies like this man, but you can't deny he was kind of on a generational run in 2008-2009 with this and Speed Racer!

Chow Yun-fat is the most likeable actor and the best action hero in my opinion.

He's my favorite. He looks like a normal guy, but when he's doing action, it hits even harder. I also like his more drama-oriented movies because he's not just a cool action hero, but also a very talented actor. He can be both tough as a coffin nail and sensitive at the same time. Plus in real life he's also a polite gentleman and a humble human being, like Keanu Reeves. Chow is the man!

"HIGH ROAD TO CHINA" (1983) - fond memories of this one from VHS-era rentals and always saw it as a decent Raider-esque adventure. Good cast, decent direction, some good action sequences and sense of fun overall. Any fans of this one?

High Road to China is a 1983 adventure-romance film set in the 1920s starring Tom Selleck in his first major starring role, playing a hard-drinking biplane pilot hired by society heiress Eve "Evie" Tozer (Bess Armstrong) to find her missing father (Wilford Brimley).

The supporting cast includes Robert Morley and Brian Blessed. The Golden Harvest film (released by Warner Bros. Pictures) is loosely based on the 1977 novel of the same name by Jon Cleary. However, little beyond character names and the basic premise of an aerial race to China survived the translation to film.

"THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS" (1987) - Timothy Dalton's first Bond film and one I really enjoy still. Some really good action sequences, strong cast, a bit more edge after the Roger Moore ones, and overall really enjoyable. Any fans of this one?

Bond teams up with the general's cellist girlfriend to expose and stop the operation.

Observation: Every Great Action Movie has a catwalk.

10 Upvotes

Every really good action movie I can think of has some sort of a catwalk, platform level.

Terminator 2

Die Hard

Star Wars

Empire Stikes Back

Return of the Jedi

Almost every James Bond

Etc.

Of course this is not an exact science, but I can't even think of a great action movie that doesn't have some sort of catwalk platform at some point.

Hey all! It's been a while since I've posted here, so I apologize. Sometimes life gets super busy when you least expect it and I've just been rolling with the punches.

This one is for the Brandon Lee fans here on this subreddit (me included) and it would be awesome if you guys could give this one a watch. I've tried to get a Brandon Lee video on the channel for 3 years but have been copyright struck endlessly, so it was a miracle this one got through.

I hope everyone has been having a wonderful weekend!

I love this movie to pieces, and this action sequence, while a bit long, deserved to be clipped!
