movies that hovers between the cult
classics of the 80s and the sci-fi
extravaganzas of the new millennium
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
action movies of the 1990s Papa’s got a
brand-new bag oh these are the films
from the 1990s that delivered
particularly memorable thrills when it
came to action sequences come with me if
you want to live and just to be clear
we’ve taken all genres of action into
consideration for this list
number ten rumble in the Bronx
racehorses haha yes I know Jackie Chan
is in New York for his uncle’s wedding
but that’s just the setup to get him
face to face with a biker gang for some
good old-fashioned street fights making
Jackie Chan a household name in America
this flick features Jackie doing his own
stunts and taking on wave after wave of
thugs in many vibrant locations and
ridiculous situations
plus it shows he’s an expert at using
anything as a weapon be it his hands or
even a skin well you better hit me Shawn
cuz you only got one bullet left so do
you
number nine face off Wow John lose face
off season Ikhlas cage plane notorious
criminal castor Troy who trades places
with John Travolta’s upstanding FBI
agent Sean Archer how you ask I’d like

your father
here’s your eyes Sammy shuttle we
witness the fiery battle between good
and evil as Archer ends up in a
futuristic prison and cage has free

Alcatraz and its occupants including a
group of tourists are taken hostage in
San Francisco becomes the target of a
chemical weapon sounds like a job for a
