Hardboiled, Die Hard, Cliffhanger, Total Recall (the original ofcourse...), A-team, A Better Tomorrow, big Trouble in little china. Oh, man I can go on forever!
John, in your spare time, could you take a look at Doug Walker's Review of The Dark Knight Rises. It has started to gain notice, and i would like to hear your opinion of the review. Thank you.
In no particular order: The Bourne Trilogy (would prefer to forget about the fourth installment); First Blood, The Rock, Live and Let Die (which is the first Bond film I ever saw), Casino Royale, ... does "The Great Escape" have enough action scenes to qualify as an action movie? IDK.
Geez John your funny man. I'm still looking forward to this movie. great way to spend an hour and a bit I reckon. Great to see some big name stars in an action flick
Kill Bill Volume 1 is the greatest action film in my opinion. I also like Breakdown with Kurt Russel but i'm not sure if that would be classified as action?
You think that Point Break is better than Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Predator, Indiana Jones as an action movie? Point Break was okay but the dialogue was bloody awful at times, Swayze was like a Bill and Ted character. Great Reviews which I enjoy agreeing / disagreeing with. Keep up the good work! All the best to you.
Obviously he doesn't think it's a more well made film then those films.. It's a good film though Katherine biggelow is a great director and she did a great job. Point break is a cult classic.. Good movie..
My favorite action movie is, at the moment, The raid: Redemption. Jut plain blew me away, I literally returned the movie to the video store(family video) and went blu ray hunting, I found it at target at $22.99 ...... I also bought Event horizon which is really good.
My favorite 2 action movies of all time, "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" and "Terminator 2". I agree about Chuck Norris...something doesnt sit right with me either. By the way, the rumor is for Expendables 3, Harrison Ford and one other actor is supposed to be in the next one.
the reason for all the digital blood is Chuck Norris demanded the movie be PG-13, there was a lot of fan backlash so blood was added. Evidence of the Pg-13 rating is the toned down language
Favorite Action Movie of all time? Have two that come to mind. Enter The Dragon and The Raid: Redemption. Enter The Dragon because Bruce Lee is the best of all time and that movie set the standard for all martial arts movies that followed. The Raid: Redemption because it's the only movie in twenty years that actually made me yell at the screen because it was just that awesome!
Hey John, you asked about the weird eyes of Van Damme? Well apprently Stallone went on record to say that Van Damme came on set super hungover everyday, to the point where they would roll and he would pause and give the "gimme" gesture and say "Line!".
Point Break is good and to an extent so is its step brother The Fast and the Furious. Then you have Face/Off and The Rock, Predator, Aliens, RoboCop, Lethal Weapon, and my absolute favorite --- The Matrix.
I thought it was worth it to see this in the cinema once ,because I might never get a chance to see all of these guys together in a film in the movie theatre - and the it was fun (especially in the second half),but I don't think I will be watching this ever again.The first movie was kinda boring so I would recommend just skipping it and seeing this.
John hi. You are the best. Thanks for the reviews. I can't say I love THE EXPENDABLES much (any of the three movies), but I like almost all actors who have acted in these movies. Cool guys. ))
Yeah ur right one displays real acting talent, plot and has a fantastic director, while the other one features Scarlett Johansson, cheesy oneliners and a terrible Nick fury
BTW Did you see the press conference in London last week? Stallone is a heavey fan of make up since a few years thinking that it suits him better, making him look younger instead it makes him old and bloated!
u got to understand this film is only for the action ,when it come's to a story dont get your hope' and dream's high for a film like this just enjoy it and really that's all good review bro have a good one and nice tv is that a plasma bro.
My favorite action movie is Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I'm a girl and I wanted to be Sarah Connor in this movie. A new recent favorite is the Avengers, duh!
I really did enjoy this movie and Barney Ross played by Sylvester Stallone he did a great job in this movie and he was so awesome too and he was badass in this film than he did in the first film too and Lee Christmas played by Jason Statham he did a great job too and he was so awesome for this role too and he is so badass as this character role too and Gunnar Jensen played by Bruce Willis he did a good job too but he barely in this movie tho but it was nice to see his character back for one last time and he gets to do more action in this movie role too and Yin Yang played by Jet Li he did a great job too and he was so awesome for this role but he barley in this movie tho but when he was on screen he was badass as this character role too and Booker played by Chuck Norris he did a great job too but he barely in this film tho but when he was on screen he did a good job for this role too and Hale Caesar played by Terry Crews he did a good job too and he was so hilarious in this movie and he sure is so awesome for this role too and Toll Road played by Randy Couture he did a great job too and he was so awesome for this role and he sure is so funny in this movie role too and Maggie played by my girl Yu Nan she did a great job too and she was so badass as this character role too and she was awesome in this movie too and she sure is so incredibly sexy as hell bro and she is so gorgeous too and I’m a huge fan of her now too love her to death man and same goes for Lacy played by Charisma Carpenter she did a great job too as well but she barley in this film tho but it was nice to see her character back for one last time too tho and she is so sexy as hell too and she is so attractive women and huge fan of her now too and Hector played by Scott Adkins he did a great job as a side character villain roles for this film and he was awesome for this role and badass as this character role too and Vilain played by Jean Claude Van Damme he did a awesome job as the main villain role for this film and he was so badass in this role too but he is kinda of wasted in this film and he gave up to easily too in this movie but I do like his fight scenes with Stallone too and finally Trench played by Arnold Schwarzenegger he did a good job too but he barely in this movie tho but it was nice to see his character back in this movie tho and he gets to do more action in this movie than he did in the first film too and can’t believe it’s been 11 years now since this movie came out now and I was a senior in high school when this movie came out back then and I was 17 years old at the time when this movie was released in theaters back then and I sure do missed those good old days back then too and time sure does flies in the movie world that’s for damn sure bro and overall I’m gonna give The Expendables 2 (2012) a 9/10 stars I really did enjoy this movie but could of been little bit better tho if it had some nudity for a change and have the movie be little bit longer too but that’s just me though in my opinions and thoughts on this movie John the Flick Pick bro
![T-800 CSM 101 Arrival | Terminator 2: Judgment Day [Remastered]](/img/n.gif)
I like Point Break, T2, The Rock, Con-Air. My man card is all good, I just expected more.
Hardboiled, Die Hard, Cliffhanger, Total Recall (the original ofcourse...), A-team, A Better Tomorrow, big Trouble in little china. Oh, man I can go on forever!
Arnie and Willis driving round the airport slaying baddies in a smart car is definitely a memorable scene for me.
My favorite actions movies are "Hard Boiled" (John Woo), "Exiled" (Johnnie To) , Kill Bill and Matrix
Great to watch good reviews without spoilers, i'm definitely excited to see Expendables 2.
John, in your spare time, could you take a look at Doug Walker's Review of The Dark Knight Rises. It has started to gain notice, and i would like to hear your opinion of the review. Thank you.
Your impressions are top draw!! So so funny!! The UK loving your work. Keep it up.
Best intro to a review ever
Agreed
Is it digital blood like in Kill Bill or was that something else entirely? Good review John. I got a few good laughs out of it...
In no particular order: The Bourne Trilogy (would prefer to forget about the fourth installment); First Blood, The Rock, Live and Let Die (which is the first Bond film I ever saw), Casino Royale, ... does "The Great Escape" have enough action scenes to qualify as an action movie? IDK.
Geez John your funny man. I'm still looking forward to this movie. great way to spend an hour and a bit I reckon. Great to see some big name stars in an action flick
I'm probably gonna see this sunday awsome review man
Simon West also directed Tomb Raider, fyi.
Indiana jones raiders of the lost ark.. Best action movie ever made in my opinion, and also t2 beautiful looking film with great directing
Is the whole movie in english subtitles
is it me or his hair is good for all the impresions matching them
My top ten action films.... Die hard, T 2, predator, commando, aliens, total recall, the raid, ong bak, demolition man, Rambo first blood :)
I agree Terminator 2 and Point Break are cool. I want to see Con Air again and that bunny quote was funny.
I enjoyed it also, same as you. Your one liners are good. I'm making my review tomorrow and it will be a response to this.
Whats size is your tv and kind?
I don't know if you can count this as an action movie, but my favorite is The Departed!
5:30🤣🤣
chuck Norris will come and find you after your remark haha
Dude, AWESOME TV! is it 42"?
Lethal Weapon and Taken. Does Taken count as action og action/thriller? If it counts it's both of 'em :)
Kill Bill Volume 1 is the greatest action film in my opinion. I also like Breakdown with Kurt Russel but i'm not sure if that would be classified as action?
hard die gets first place to me and then a tie between terminator 2 and face off.. very different movies .. i just rate them on how much i enjoy them
van damme actually did another universal soldier film a few years ago.
My Favorite Action movies: Terminator 2, Raiders of the Lost Ark, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Die Hard, Kill Bill (1&2) True Lies are great.
You think that Point Break is better than Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Predator, Indiana Jones as an action movie? Point Break was okay but the dialogue was bloody awful at times, Swayze was like a Bill and Ted character.
Great Reviews which I enjoy agreeing / disagreeing with. Keep up the good work! All the best to you.
Obviously he doesn't think it's a more well made film then those films.. It's a good film though Katherine biggelow is a great director and she did a great job. Point break is a cult classic.. Good movie..
great impressions
I'm not really into ACTION MOVIES, but if I had to pick one, it would be a movie with some action in it, Inception.
Love how your impression of Jason Statham was Austrailian
My favorite action movie is, at the moment, The raid: Redemption. Jut plain blew me away, I literally returned the movie to the video store(family video) and went blu ray hunting, I found it at target at $22.99 ...... I also bought Event horizon which is really good.
My all time favortie action movies are the Matrix (the first one) and the Bourne Saga (three movies but they count as one)
My favorite 2 action movies of all time, "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" and "Terminator 2". I agree about Chuck Norris...something doesnt sit right with me either. By the way, the rumor is for Expendables 3, Harrison Ford and one other actor is supposed to be in the next one.
When Chuck Norris came into the movie he stole every single scene he was in and when he said his Chuck Norris fact that made the movie!
Simon West also Directed The Generals Daughter... its pretty good
Please do a review of Blu-ray edition of Scarface!
this looks pretty good im looking forward to it
T2 is one of my favourite action movies. Maybe the only one. I'm trying to remember more... Maybe I don't like actions so much... I don't know. :)
the reason for all the digital blood is Chuck Norris demanded the movie be PG-13, there was a lot of fan backlash so blood was added. Evidence of the Pg-13 rating is the toned down language
I like this movie alot but I hated the projector problem. Glad I got a free movie ticket though.
Cant wait to see this!
AY FLICKPICK Van Damm doesnt do round house kicks he does helicopter kicks. Chuck Norris does round house kicks. Just saying. still love you thou :)
Favorite Action Movie of all time? Have two that come to mind. Enter The Dragon and The Raid: Redemption. Enter The Dragon because Bruce Lee is the best of all time and that movie set the standard for all martial arts movies that followed. The Raid: Redemption because it's the only movie in twenty years that actually made me yell at the screen because it was just that awesome!
T2, Die Hard, and Speed are nearly all tied for me with point break getting an honorable mention.
Die Hard - for some reason I can watch that movie always - and it gets me happy at christmas, like Home alone
Terminator 2 would be my favourite action movie. Of recent time, it would be Raid: Redemption
Hey John, you asked about the weird eyes of Van Damme? Well apprently Stallone went on record to say that Van Damme came on set super hungover everyday, to the point where they would roll and he would pause and give the "gimme" gesture and say "Line!".
Off the top of my head im gonna say Casino Royale and pretty much any 70's/80's/90's Jackie Chan movie are the best action movies all time.
Demolition Man,Face/Off,Terminator 2,Skyfall and Crank
The Raid Redemption!!! and good review man
Gill?
First one was way too serious! It was dull, murky and not fun to watch.
This one sounds a lot better though!! I might check it out.
T2 is not only my fav action movie, i really think its one of the best movies ever made
I was thinking die hard first but then i changed my mind to first blood, but yes die hard is awesome!
Your point is?
Point Break is good and to an extent so is its step brother The Fast and the Furious. Then you have Face/Off and The Rock, Predator, Aliens, RoboCop, Lethal Weapon, and my absolute favorite --- The Matrix.
Point Break and T2 for me as well !
I fuckin love u john u said exactly what i wanted to hear .ty dude
u should shoot out the grades for rating from now on.... And arnie impression was awesome...
point break is such a good movie. i mean i could go on for 500 characters about how badass it is. but i won't....i'm lazy
5:26 LMFAO! HHAHA!
I miss this John....
Flick what about predator? The scene were arnold does his war cry before facing predator. That alone has more balls than most action movies.
Just saw this.........amazing
I thought it was worth it to see this in the cinema once ,because I might never get a chance to see all of these guys together in a film in the movie theatre - and the it was fun (especially in the second half),but I don't think I will be watching this ever again.The first movie was kinda boring so I would recommend just skipping it and seeing this.
John hi. You are the best. Thanks for the reviews. I can't say I love THE EXPENDABLES much (any of the three movies), but I like almost all actors who have acted in these movies. Cool guys. ))
Point break? By the way, Keanu Reeves in part 3???
John. It wasn't appropriate to put the entire trailer at the beginning.
no i ment Lionel Hutz
Love Point Break, love Speed , love the first Matrix. Add Ted in Expendables 3
Yeah ur right one displays real acting talent, plot and has a fantastic director, while the other one features Scarlett Johansson, cheesy oneliners and a terrible Nick fury
can waterfasting for a long time heal my eye sight?
BTW Did you see the press conference in London last week? Stallone is a heavey fan of make up since a few years thinking that it suits him better, making him look younger instead it makes him old and bloated!
It was more entertaining, but there were so many grainy shots and shots that are out of focus.
Mine are Tango and Cash and Commando
Don't say that chuck Norris can hear you.
Van Damme stole the show here. I wish he was in more big budget movies.
I dont think anybody understood stallones speech at his sons funeral. And i think the movie had to many referances.
Platoon (more of a drama), Kill Bill and Drive (more of a thriller).
Terminator 2....and Point Break???
u got to understand this film is only for the action ,when it come's to a story dont get your hope' and dream's high for a film like this just enjoy it and really that's all good review bro have a good one and nice tv is that a plasma bro.
I hear ya, just busting your balls a bit. I like the Expendables movies but always want a bit more too. Can't wait for some new flick trips
i wish they got a better script for this, i fell asleep during the movie bexause it was boring.
what happened to the jaws review man? >:(
the statham puns was hilarious.
Favourite Action Movie: Commando
My favorite action movie is Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I'm a girl and I wanted to be Sarah Connor in this movie.
A new recent favorite is the Avengers, duh!
Commando, True Lies, or Point Break
Best action film? Hmm, Commando, Die Hard, Terminator 2 and Aliens are all amazing, but....
STARSHIP MOTHERFUCKIN' TROOPERS!
DAT Klendathu drop!
My fav action flick is Terminator 2 still holds up
Why does jean claude van damme look like albert wesker? lol
Desperado!
0:27 Best Arnie impression ever!

Lol at this John! Bro 3 year makes such a difference wow!
I was letdown by the first as well...I'm really hoping they bring on Mel Gibson for number 3, and they need a woman too.... Maybe Sandra bullock?
