memorable and iconic thrills when it
came to action sequences
and just to be clear we’ve taken all
genres of action into consideration for
this list number 10 the transporter you
very precise transportation is a precise
business this movie gave fans of the
action genre a new outnumbered hero to
root for seat belts with the job of
transporting anything from weapons to
people Jason Statham’s character
naturally hits a few speed bumps but
thanks to his athletic tendencies which
led him to work as a professional diver
and to develop an interest in martial
arts Statham masterfully executes in the
most intricate fight scenes Jackie Chan
much
splatting this is madness number nine
300 yes this flick took war epics to a
whole new visual level with the help of
blue screens director Zack Snyder was
able to meticulously recreate Frank
Miller’s graphic novels yet it’s the
ornate atmospheric and downright eerie
quality to the killer battle scenes that
helps immerse you in the story and makes
each scene feel like a piece of art
amazing what you can do with a computer
huh
oh I love a good start
number eight bad boys to Palermo Miami
PD oh damn mr. Nicholas this Will Smith
and Martin Lawrence shooter helped
cement the comeback of cool buddy cop
films that started with the first film
in the franchise Banksy backseat she
even beside elaborate car chases and
drug busts the real selling point of
this action flick is the chemistry
between its two protagonists that is the
last time you will ever refer to my
mother’s titties much like lethal weapon
the personalities constantly clash but
in most cases that results in crime
solving bad boys bad boys what you gonna
do what you gonna do when we come for
you and that’s the best enough is next
miss knows me hey dude you got to learn
the words we usually only do the chorus
number seven fast and furious still look
boss car movies have always been cool
but the Fast and the Furious franchise
gave them all new clothes
the fourth addition to the lineup has
awesome cars
but it gets it’s smooth feel from
explosive chases
and scenes set in the underbelly of the
racing world
the characters are also so layered they
could practically carry the film alone
but then it wouldn’t be much of an
action flick would
no no number six mission impossible 3 no
10
Ethan Hunt attempts the impossible for a
third installment this time setting out
to defeat an arms dealer and save his
future wife
you
in addition to bringing back agent hunt
in all his action packed glory the film
also manages to pull off a killer movie
MacGuffin with the infamous rabbit’s
foot rabbit’s foot where is it happy
scream that means we get both
heart-stopping action as well as a
psychological game of cat and mouse that
keeps us guessing oh we’re gonna be
spending like 90% of our time in museums
you don’t have to worry that’s like
telling water not to be wet suite number
5 taken they’re going to take you the
great thing about taken is that nobody
expected such a gritty and realistic
film with Liam Neeson of all people as a
downright hard nut I told you I would
find you Neeson plays a former CIA agent
who must track down the people who
kidnapped his holidaying daughter thus
beginning a series of dark and violent
scenes as he delves into the world of
human trafficking tense slick and at
times incredibly scary taken may put you
off going to Paris period
number four Kill Bill Vol 1
where’s now where’s now taking clear
inspiration from the 1973 revenge film
lady snow blood Kill Bill Vol one merges
the surreal violence of anime with
spaghetti western inspired standoffs all
executed with trademark Tarantino
direction based around a disgruntled
bride who’s out for blood this movie
makes us see how a plethora of styles
and themes can be bundled together to
create something both visually unique
and totally badass mommy my baby how was
school it also gives us a new type of
female protagonists
I think someone’s coming soon I’m going
for it no no
number three The Bourne Ultimatum
something happened to me and I need to
know what it was wrong and to be free of
this Jason Bourne is back yet again to
avoid certain death at the hands of
assassins and to try to remember his
past a combination of borns intricate
knowledge of combat survival and battle
tactics results in a complex plot that
feels like it can twist at any moment
what’s going on
much like the Mission Impossible film
watching Bourne
out with the bad guys is enthralling but
with a shadowed past who knows what
we’ll do next
number two Casino Royale the 21st
edition to the bond story ultimately
spawned the rebirth of the British
secret agent based on Ian Fleming’s very
first Bond book the film features a
portrayal of double-oh-seven
that’s much more accurate to the source
material than its predecessors you
noticed with Daniel Craig’s version less
focused on gadgets and more concerned
with the brute force of one man’s
determination but let’s not forget the
cool freerunning sequences and overtly
violent fight scenes simply great cinema
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
let’s just talk about this
number one the Dark Knight after making
a first attempt in 2005 with the Batman
Begins reboot Christopher Nolan nailed
his atmospheric directing style with the
Dark Knight I wouldn’t leave something
like that up to chance I don’t I make my
own luck he also marked a first in the
movie industry by shooting several
scenes in IMAX Stix the blade in my
mouth let’s put a smile on that face
this mess scenes like the Joker’s bank
robbery no no I kill the bus time huh
what bus driving and the epic car chase
presented audiences with glorious
visuals the only sensible way to live in
this world is without rules add to this
Heath Ledger’s and narketpalli of the
trench coat wearing psychopath the Joker
