Is there a more perfect action movie than this?

no

rewatched it like two weeks ago
it's not THAT good, not even the best by woo

Con Air
The Rock
Face/Off
Broken Arrow

The quadfecta of 90s action kino.

>inb4 some cuck posts that O&A clip

Trailer kino, still remember seeing it in the theater, not clear what kind of movie it's gonna be at first but then the action montage starts, and the movie delivered in spades: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95VvTW1FvS8

One of the few times a hollywood studio just let John Woo do his thing without interference.

Dam the trailer makes it look better than it is

hard boiled

>>86776713
They didn't, he still wasn't completely unleashed.
But they allowed him to do an R-rating which was kinda risky for the studio.
It did payoff though, but when he did MI:2 the producers fell back into their stupid PG13 politics.
I would actually pay hard cash to see Woo's directors cut for that movie. Rumors say it was very long (nearly 3h) and very violent.

>>86776297
I saw some clips from an action flick called reindeer games and loved the actions sequences. Is the movie good?

>>86776414
You just posted Con Air and Broken Arrow over Demolition Man and Assassins.

>>86777050
It's like a Tarantino movie minus the dialogue.

>>86777050
fun movie. Grab a beer and enjoy

Arnie, sly and bruce willis have all made far better action flicks

>>86777121
>sly
>good action flicks

>>86776297
no there isn't.

The sublime sense of melodrama, the peerless , unmatched experience of Travolta and Cage's theatrical performances, the family subplot, the finale that keeps upping the ante, the incredible pay-off of the daughter-caster subplot, transitioning to a fucking impromptu speedboat chase scene.

It's simply peerless.

I have no doubt that it is the greatest action movie made in the whole of the world's history and if you think there is one better then I want to see it.

>>86776412
in my opinion it definitely is.
However A Bullet to the Head comes close.

>>86777121

Do any of those have John Travolta pretending to be Nic Cage and vice versa?

>>86777884
All of them actually.

I don't think there is.

>>86776412
Woo movies aged terribly. Tsui Hark won.

>>86776414
>>86777085
In addition to these movies reccomend me some essential 90s action kino, the more obscure the better

Broken Arrow kind of sucks. Travolta is entertaining but that's it.

>>86777210
>>86776297
no but there is one equal; The Rock

faceoff has the best lines

I like the gun that Henriksen uses in this movie, it's a pretty good gun movie I think.

Came here to say that any of these can be considered the greatest

>>86782683
It is.
I don't want to get too racial but I think this is bleedthrough from Hong Kong martial arts movies.
The fighting style of the characters would usually say something about their character.
This gun, and the way he uses it, does the same.

Think of the bit where he aims at JCVD, then realises he can't make the shot and takes the bullet out and slips it back into his belt.
That's the shit.

>>86780475

Was about to come in to mention this.

It's not as good as Woo's other stuff especially when compared to The Killer or Hard-Boiled but it's still highly entertaining and is probably Van Damme's best movie. It also has my all time favorite Lance Henrickson performance.

the intro alone makes it action kino imo

I personally like John Wick better. I wouldn't say 100% for sure that it's objectively better, but it absolutely stands alongside it.

based obscure recommendation

It's about an hour too long

>>86780475
This is kinda long too but takes itself less seriously
