Favorite kind of mindless action movie!

[Phillycat]

**NOTE** If you don't like mindless action movies, what the heck are you doing in this thread? Please refrain from lecturing us all about how we are watching crap movies. We're well aware of that. We love them anyway. Go away.

Now then! What's your favorite action flick for pure escapism and lots of blowing shit up/killing zombies/whatever?

1. "Good Dog"! Dog from outer space tries to energize Earth's pooches

and make them take control of the planet, as the Greater Dane ordained!

[Phillycat]

2. Goodness, I can't say that I caught that one.

Sounds fun!

[havocmom]

4. Actually pretty cute and funny

Love the part where the boy tries spinning around 3 times before going to sleep to create a bad dream barrier as per the dog's recommendation, and the dog snickers..."Can't beleive you fell for that."

3. I really like the Bourne movies

They're fun, and not *totally* mindless anyway.

Porno n/t

5. Porn.

Action doesn't get any more mindless than two Hollywood also-rans with self esteem issues doin' the grownup.

6. The problem with most of these movies...

Is that the action stars are Republicans. I'll leave the content criticism to the critics, but I refuse to donate money to the GOP by proxy, which is what we do when seeing Arnold, Bruce Willis, Seagal, etc.

7. "Road Warrior" Best car chase ever

Back before Mel decided he was an artiste.

21. Have you seen the Bourne Supremacy?

The car chase in that is unbelievable.

[NoPasaran]

22. I know nothing of it

[WoodrowFan]

8. Bond

James Bond

9. Jackie Chan & Jet Li

A few of the their movies don't make any sense at all, but damn do those fight scenes look bad ass!

Chan could kick the living shit out of Segal in 1.7 seconds or less.

And Li would probably go Mortal Kombat on his ass.

14. RE chan comment

I've said for years that jackie chan would win against most of these american martial arts bozos (chuck norris, van damme, etc). My husband and I would argue about a warehouse fight where you could use anything at your disposal and fight to the death. Jackie Chan would so win.

10. "The Core" was ridiculously silly. But I kind of liked it.

It was so idiotically implausible that I kind of enjoyed it.

Plus, seeing Oscar winner Hillary Swank doing crappy movies like this...how can you not enjoy something like that? :-)

11. Seeing brilliant actor in crap films is always entertaining.

Remember Sean Connery was the Villan in "The Avengers" my God that was a tragedy.

12. How about mindful action movies?

'Death Becomes Her' has a lot of action and even a smidgen of thought behind it. :D

Otherwise, the more brainy Bond films plus your occasional Bruce Willis film are for me.

[redqueen]

13. All of 'em!

I can't pick a favorite. Okay, wait, yes I can - horror. Dammit, I already chose 'other' on the poll.

[Ready4Change]

15. Other: Science Fiction

"The 5th Element" for example. Mindless, fun, action packed. Yah, yah, it's got Bruce Willis basically doing a Die Hard in space routine, but the darn movie was fun anyway.

16. Killing zombies?

hmmmmm How convenient.

[ceile]

17. Hard to say....

I can't stand Segal movies, but I like just about everything else. But you did leave off Chan-I never miss one of his movies.
And I am a sucker for Blade movies..mmmm...Wesley Snipes....:9

[Phillycat]

18. Wesley Snipes is SOOOOOOOO HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nummy. :evilgrin:

I hear the 3rd one isn't as good as the first 2. Too much comic relief, they say...

[ceile]

20. Heard that too

But that won't stop me from seeing it! Saw Rising Sun (again) last weekend....swoon!!

[arwalden]

19. I Really Enjoy Jackie Chan Movies... Action And Comedy!!
