Forsaken Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Arnold for action movies..... Tom Cruise is the best on the list, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinegunner Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Stallone out of those, but my choice is Harrison Ford - Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, The Fugitive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I was thinking about adding Ford, but I don't really see Indiana Jones as an "action" series in the same vein as the movies the guys I've listed star in. It's more of an adventure thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The best action star, and my personal favourite, is the one and only Bruce Lee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Bruce Lee, no comparison. Edited August 7, 2013 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Meatheads, the lot of them (although I like Stallone). Jackie Chan whips the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I never really like Jackie Chan on a strictly Martial Arts level, he's something of a glorified stuntman really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Statham, Sly, Willis and love them almost equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chan has created and fought in some of the most iconic fight scenes in kung fu cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Don't get me wrong, he made some cool movies around that whole Police Story era but like...as a martial artist? I dunno. Can't question his importance as an actor in his field though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That's a tough question to answer. As far as whose movies I enjoy the most I'd say Arnold overall. Then again, I also love Stallone's movies and Bruce Willis tops the list for Die Hard alone which I feel is one of the greatest action movies of all time. I'll vote Arnold for the sake of the poll.

izzygirl Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I don't see Mel as an action star so I gotta say Stallone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Gunner Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 really like every actor listed... van damme and seagal top my list, cuz every movie theyve done is 100% action (to my knowledge anyways) everyone else has done non-action flicks, which i didnt enjoy... statham has to be at the bottom of the list, although i do like some of his movies, they just all seem exactly the samecant beleive no one mentionned fucking CHUCK NORRIS ! lolanother honorable mention would be clint eastwood from his dirty harry daysand flying in under the radar : dolph lundgren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't question his importance as an actor in his field though.The following Chan fights are some of the greatest fight scenes in the entire genre...- The two against Benny the Jet Urquidez (Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever).- v Ken Lo (Drunken Master 2). - The two fights against Wong Jang Lee (Snake and the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master).You could also argue a case for the Monks and Amazonian fight scenes in Armour of God, or, the Lau Gar Leung pole-fight in Drunken Master 2. I personally like the playground bash em' up from Police Story 2. By the way, the first Benny Urquidez fight from Wheels on Meals got voted the greatest fight scene in some martial arts magazine - I think it was Martial Arts Illustrated but do not quote me on that.

zeppelinrocksnexttognr Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm glad you pointed them out. Jackie Chan is the shit! I'd throw up Donnie yen, jet li and Tony jaa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Did it really?!?! I've seen a lot of these but we're talking like 18 years ago. Remember back in the day Newsagents used to have like videos for sale from like 99p to 3.99 and they'd all be Jackie Chan movies and stuff like that? Well back in them days i saw them, Police Story, Crime Story i think, i'm buggered if i can remember them much but i remember wheels on meals vividly cuz i think i taped that off of somewhere or someone.One criticism i read once of Jackie Chan and the others in comparison to Bruce was that they confuse the graceful speed of well executed martial arts with a certain franticness that makes it border on looking clumsy. Not necessarily a perspective i subscribe to but i do think there is something to it.LEEEEEEEGENDDD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
