The 90s Action Movies Thread

[pedromonkey]

I know the majority of films that have been discussed on this forum are from the 80s and they're all great films, but the 90s gave us some equally good action movies from Bad Boys, Con Air, The Rock and Face/Off, what are your favourite 90s Action movies?

I rewatched it a few weeks back and forgot how much action was actually in it, it's literally from the first explosion to the last smash of a frozen Snipes, non stop through out. A perfect example of a film that balances action, comedy and plot.

It was one of the first films I can remember watching that I was 'too young' to legally watch, and I absolutely loved it.

I'm not at all a fan of Stallone, or the vast majority of his films, but this one has had a lot of repeat viewings over the years.

I like Double Impact it was the 2nd Van Damme film I saw and still holds a high place in my heart - ok it wasn't on the same wave as Arnie films but to me it still packed a lot of action with drama

I've not seen that in years, I enjoy a bit of Van Dammage now and then. Gotta say though for me the pinicle of 90s Jean Claude are Hard Target, Sudden Death and Maximum Risk. He made some other decent stuff but those three are my faves. The worst films he made in the 90s were Street Fighter and Double Team but the former has a so bad it fun quality to it.

You can't go wrong with Seagal's 90s output either. He made some terrific action pics for Warner Bros. in the first two years of the 90s we go Hard To Kill, Marked For Death, Out for Justice and Under Siege. We don't get action movies like that anymore.
And before anyone points out that Marked For Death was Fox, i know this, just pointing out that we got 4 classic action films in 2 years.
