Best Mindless Action Type Movie

[Uncle Spielberg]

Which is the best mindless, boys own action type movie, no doubt Kev the Ape owns all these but I saw a little gem last weekend which I saw at the cinema oh 20 years or so ago and it has stood the test of time pretty well.

Scant plot, average acting but my god did Arnie kick some serious arse at the end. He must have taken out 500 on his own in the last 20 minutes.

Its a great Popcorn arse kicking film which does exactly what it says on the tin.

My vote goes for

Commando. 7.9

 

[tinx]

One winner:-

Die Hard

 

[B.M.F]

Full metal jacket or Aliens for me.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

reasonable call

Rambo 1,2,3

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The Goonies

9.8

 

[B.M.F]

OOOOHHHH Just remembered Ichi the Killer. Perfect film for your gore and violence fix

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Aliens is a sophisticated superb film and in my opinion the greatest sequel ever made 8.5, it is certainly not mindless so I would not have put it in the category

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Goonies

9.8

I think people are missing the jist of this thread

 

[tinx]

I wouldn't put Full Metal Jacket or Aliens in mindless action movie at all both a more in depth than that especially Full Metal Jacket.

 

[B.M.F]

Aliens is a sophisticated superb film and in my opinion the greatest sequel ever made 8.5, it is certainly not mindless so I would not have put it in the category

So what part of running round shooting aliens is not mindless violence?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Does PREDATOR count?

 

[tinx]

Predator definitely counts, cracking action movie.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Then I vote for PREDATOR.

Edit: 8.2

 

[The Large One]

Babe
Truly, Madly, Deeply
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang
The Sound of Music
Kramer vs Kramer

Eat that, Glover.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Predator 7.2 is allowed , I thought Predator 2 was better 7.6

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Rambo 3 6.4

[CHAPPERS]

Predator 7.2 is allowed , I thought Predator 2 was better 7.6

If any more proof was needed that Gwubber knows JACK about films, well, there it is.

ROBOCOP

Con Air

Any number of Steven Seagal (Sp?) inc Under Seige, Marked For Death

Any number of Jean Claude Van Damme (sp?), inc Bloodsport, Kickboxer and the one where he escapes the foreign legion, AWOL

Brilliant

 

[Easy 10]

Con Air.

Malkovich is DELICIOUSLY villainous, its got Steve Buscemi, and some of the most jaw-droppingly CHEESEY one-liners in cinematic history. The action is ridiculous, the plot is ludicrous, the script is laughable, and I absolutely bloody LOVE that film.

8.6.
