Best Action Movie?

[thepd7]

Me and a buddy were looking for a really great kick-ass action movie tonight and couldn't really find anything on DVD we hadn't seen. Finally decided on Defiance, which is a decent movie but didn't have the ass-kicking we were looking for.

So what's your favorite action movie? Mine is Boondock Saints however I have watched it a ton and was looking for something new.

No pole because I want all suggestions. Thanks!

I'm waiting for The Expendables.

I particularly liked The Dark Knight

Hot Fuzz. Rent and Watch. NOW.

District 9.

Hard Boiled is maybe the best action movie I have ever seen.

For recent movies, Taken is a very good one.

crank 2. nonstop action, tits, and overall hilarious.

Does Gladiator count?

very good, seen it a few times though so it wouldn't have fit the bill for tonight.

I haven't seen hard boiled so I'll have to check that out, Taken is incredible and I have already rewatched twice when I was in the mood for some ass-kicking.

Since you have never seen Hard Boiled, I would suggest to watch The Killer also. Both are Chow Yun Fat movies.

Edit:

I just watched a youtube video of the amount of people he killed in The Killer (not to be confused with The Replacement Killers) and he killed 71 people. The Killer and Hard Boiled can possibly be bought from ebay for around $20 (if you're lucky) as it was sold as a 2 pack of DVDs at one point.

My reading skills weren't lacking, I just didn't read the replies.

All the old Bruce Less movies are awesome.

 

[Kromis]

Rambo (2008) is pretty bad ass if you want to see a scores of people die

 

[El Guaraguao]

commando, bloodsport, kickboxer, predator 1 and 2. for some old school ass kicking

As for recent movies, wolverine : origins was pretty good.

 

[Loop2kil]

another vote for Crank and Crank 2...The Transporter series is awesome too as already mentioned.

The Protector
-Bad story but great action scenes (Guy runs around asking where his elephants are and then kicks everyone's ass)

What about Ong Bak and Ong Bak 2? You mention one Tony Jaa movie, you may as well mention more.
