Rumble in the Bronx is a pretty great film, as well.

The Last Boy Scout, hands down. A perfect 90s action flick.

This thread taught me that there are no '90s action movies on Canadian Netflix. Like, literally none of the movies mentioned in this thread except T2. Proof that it is the best.

thinkng about all these awesome 90s action movies made me realize how bad most action movies are these days (with some notable exceptions such as fury road). we can blame the usual suspect for that: comic books

Yeah if we are including kung fu as action, then Jackie Chan's City Hunter wins.

If you're a fan of the action sub-genre, the nineties actually had some solid swashbucklers too, like Roby Roy, Le Bossu, and Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardieu. Solid fights all around that are fairly old school while bucking some of the more annoying tropes, even if Rob Roy's makes Liam Neeson look like he's using a club at points. And yeah, today most good action movies tend to be smaller budget releases or surprises. I'm not sure if comic movies are really to blame, but the popularity of the MCU doesn't help.

LGD posted:actually I think it's just that studios realized putting resources into PG-13 rather than R rated movies was usually substantially more profitable That's a good point, since most action movies today are going for that big budget blockbuster market and have a looot of money going into them. PG13 movies have wider audiences and are safer bets. That said, I still think a lot of PG13 action movies today play things overly safe and have bad/mediocre choreography throughout. After all, it's not like you have to be R to have good action scenes. Today, though, a lot of the good action movies I can think of - especially from the last five years or so - are definitely R. It would be nice if Deadpool did shake things up.

my favorite 90's action movie is Ronin it combines two of my favorite kinds of movies - car chase movies and LeCarre-esque spy thrillers - and it does so very well. IMO there hasn't been a truly good car chase movie ever since.
