It's not the best by any stretch but the turret scene in Hardcore Henry is pretty great.
Tyler Young
Kingsman
Evan Ross
not this piece of shit
Blake Thomas
Dredd 2012. No discussion about it, the science is settled.
Alexander Green
It definitely had great chemistry in the group.
Juan Green
I honestly think that Raid 2 was literally shit, way over the top and it tried too hard to be "le serious big deep movie".
Raid 1 is absolute /kino/. Perfectly not pretentious, no bullshit, just action.
Dylan Sanchez
I dunno what it is but newer action movies don't feel right, sure they are sometimes pretty good movies but they can't offer the cheesy purity of peak 80s action.
Benjamin Cox
This or The Raid
Joseph Bell

Other great ones are The Matrix, 13 Assassins, Drug War, Snowpiercer, Why Don't You Play in Hell, Heat, Miami Vice
Ethan Gray
Oh and forgot to mention Crank 2
Raid was straight to the point. Raid 2 tried to be this operatic gangster movie except the writing couldn't carry it, it was all cliches. It's great when Evans gets back to what he's good at for the final hour or so. But a Raid movie should never have been 2.5 hours. Pretentious as hell.
Asher Roberts
Entirely this.
Joshua Howard
Time and Tide is
Ethan Russell
Apocalypto
Lucas Ward
The Matrix is still the most culturally relevant action movie of the last 20 years.
Camden Hughes
Raid 2 was way too overblown, 1 was great.
Ian Jenkins
This and Exiled
Pleb filters
Brandon Gonzalez
why did they went full animu with the bad guys?
Hunter Allen
Obviously it's the Matrix. These fuckers are high.
Oliver Cooper
>9 seconds latee
Kek fpbp right out of the gate
Crank 2 is beautiful insanity and retardation
Plus it had some of the weirdest cameos in Chester Bennington and Maynard James Keenan
Zachary Foster
I would honestly just split it into their own genres. Im actually rather sick of looking for new action movies and everyone recommends the same movies from the 80s when there are alot of other good movies of late.
Brody Carter
Damn, I didnt know Sup Forums loved crank 2 this much. Why this one instead of the first?
Nolan Evans
Was it kino?
youtube.com
Isaiah Jackson
Idk but I enjoyed mel gibsons blood father a whole lot more than fury road
Justin Fisher
...
Asher King
Pure fun kino
Christopher Sanders
PROBably go with Raid 1.
I was pretty surprised when I first watched it. 2 is probably a better film and had hammer girl but I still prefer 1
Wish the Director would do more stuff.
Furry Road was great except for the last 3rd of the film
Zachary Peterson
Was going to say Terminator II but then realized that it is much older than 20 years by now, as am I.
Luis Bennett
What was wrong with the last third of fury road?
Chase Stewart
Too many great ones to decide. But MMFR does come to mind. ROTK, I consider action, Oldboy is also great. First season of Daredevil had some kino fight scenes.
Jason Edwards
Fury Road was good, but it blew its load too early with the Sandstorm and the Second Chase sequence. Everything after is forgettable apart from The Bullet Farmer.
I'd honestly have to go with pic related, honestly. I can't do pure action flicks, there needs to be some substance and character going on or I can't get into it. Also I'm a sucker for Guy Ritchie's style, his frantic action sequences never seem convoluted or nauseating.
Dylan Foster
Felt it was a cool build up and then they just turn around and drop a mountain on Joe.
Just a bit of a let down .
Austin Fisher
Definitely not pic related.
Christopher Powell
which one?
Xavier Ross
The Raid
Jonathan Howard
Forrest GUMP
The vietnam section was truly spine-chilling and a white-knuckle ride filled with excitement.
An unsurpassed film filled to the brim with action, simply look at the scenes where Forrest runs, from the boys on bikes at first then the guys in the truck.
Now as for the effects; again cutting edge and some of the best the past two decades had to offer, look at the lieutenant's legs! How could effects like that be topped.
Prove me wrong

Joshua Johnson
Fury Road was the best of at least the last ten years, but Road Warrior is the best of all time
Liam Morales
My initial thought was The Rock, but when I realised it's too old I was unsure, but The Mummy and either of the new Sherlock Holmes films are both solid choices.
