What are your favourite action movies? Not necessarily shoot the bad guys types but movies where there is well plenty of action, believable stunts, cool camera angles

My list:
- Point Break- classic and I am not even a surfer
- Days of Thunder- pretty corny in some bits but some of the tracking shots of the cars racing is cool, love the scene where the Autometer Tacho goes to 9000 rpm and the motor goes boom!
- Ronin- Not bad, De Niro plays a good role plus the E34 M5 getting thrashed up the Paris Expressway is cool.


Will think of more in time, mean while what ones have you guys got that come to mind ??

Well you wouldnt have grown up in the late 80s now would you? :astromile
Gone in 60 Seconds has to be up there, and all the Sean Connery and recent Bond movies :)

Steve McQueen in "Le Mans."

Anything with Jackie Chan in it. ANYTHING

Bad Boys is ok too, love the scene where the 911 turbo is just chasing down the Cobra at the airport, go the Turbos!!!

Gone in Sixty seconds is alright, but why they don't steal the F40 is beyond me. I love the custom BBQ in the last scene as well!!

Some of Jackie Chan's movies have some cool car scenes. The cars are usually Mitsubishis (and so they should be - he gets freebies from Mitsubishi).

In one movie, he catches a Nissan GTR in a "borrowed" FTO... go figure? :dunno

Well derr, they only steal the cars they have to so Kip doesnt die. Morals, people... :stickoutt :D

TOP GUN!

oh yeah, Kenny Loggins: "Highway to the Danger Zone," hooj choon that one!

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and The Life of Brian are some favourites, but i dont think the last one counts as an action movie :)

Yeah Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are two movies I like as well, Pommy gangsters are so much more funny then the "Bad ass" American ones in my opinion.

The movie "Two Hands" is not a bad Aussie film either, Pando drinking cans of VB in a stubbie holder is a good laugh!

Did I mention Top Gun?

Universal Soldier
