for the top 10 guilty pleasure action
movies before we begin we publish new
content every day
so be sure to subscribe to our Channel
and ring the bell to get notified about
our latest videos for this list we’re
taking a look at action movies that from
a critical standpoint are technically
bad but from an audience perspective are
honestly kind of great from unabashedly
cringe-worthy one-liners to bullets and
explosions galore leave me the last damn
place I want to be right now is on your
front doorstep selling girl scout
cookies these are the kinds of films
that ask you to suspend your disbelief
in the name of entertainment and
uncomplicated fun number 10 Timecop get
away from him wolf just listen to the
plot of this film in a world where time
travel is illegal one cop played by
jean-claude Van Damme is tasked with
bringing down a corrupt politician who
wants to use it to become president of
the United States if that isn’t the
start of a guilty pleasure movie we
don’t know what is that for interrupt me
when I’m talking to myself
Timecop is riddled with plot holes
shoddy acting and enough cheesy dialogue
to guarantee that no one ever takes it
seriously which is great because time
cops should not be taken seriously it’s
just a fun popcorn flick that makes
incredible use of Van Dam’s ability to
kick ass and take names across various
time periods I’m still kicking it that
number nine Rambo 3 action franchises
are notorious for upping the ante to
ludicrous levels with each passing
sequel and the Rambo film series is no
exception in first blood
PTSD sufferer and Vietnam vet John Rambo
only kills one person and it’s with a
rock in Rambo 3 he kills 115 people a
pretty gargantuan leap the film elevated
Rambo from disgruntled vet to full-on
action hero dropping him into war-torn
Afghanistan and pitting him against
everyone’s favorite 80s bad guys the
Soviets
badass action sequences abound and
viewers are treated to a plethora of
explosions epic one-liners and a
seriously pissed-off Rambo mowing people
down in droves turn off your brain and
enjoy what are you lost
unnoticed number eight Lara Croft Tomb
Raider film adaptations of popular video
games are not an easy thing to pull off
but that doesn’t mean they’re all poorly
made snoozefest a prime example is Lara
Croft Tomb Raider a film that never
takes itself too seriously and makes
great use of lead actress Angelina
Jolie’s natural charisma time to save
universe again that is it the plot
involves Croft going toe-to-toe with the
Illuminati to secure an artifact that
grants its user control of time and
space hey we said it was fun not
necessarily logical more than 15 years
later and the film is still a total
blast to watch thanks to its awesome
number seven double impact you want some
advice take your fancy clothes and your
black silk and aware and go back to this
Lynette the only thing better than one
jean-claude Van Damme is to jean-claude
Van Damme’s in this flick the heavily
accented martial artist plays twins
separated in infancy that reunite in
order to avenge their parents murders
believe this my brother the film’s
trailer gloriously exclaims one packs a
punch
one packs a piece and that’s pretty much
all you need to know that will impact
isn’t about making sense it’s about
watching one man play two characters to
deliver the maximum level of
no-holds-barred action Van Damme does
the splits shoots henchmen while lying
on his back and kills a bad guy while
shirtless what else could you possibly
number six tango and cash what you do
stop with coffee and updated Danish
after being framed for murder by a drug
kingpin LAPD narcotics officers Raymond
tango and Gabriel cash are forced to
work together in order to exonerate
themselves and take down their nemesis
at times this film is so bad it hurts
with Stallone chewing the scenery from
start to finish and Russell feeling
completely out of place particularly
one critic quipped that the film was
quote a waste of talent and energy on
all levels and while that may be true it
doesn’t mean that tango and cash is
devoid of entertainment you just need to
leave common sense at the door in order
to enjoy it number five bad boys – we
ride together we die together
bad boys – isn’t a good movie by any
definition the acting is spotty the plot
is ridiculous and the writing is so
cheesy you’ll think you’re watching a
Kraft singles commercial that’s a cheesy
line about cheesy lines however it does
have an ace up its sleeve in the form of
director Michael Bay see what you want
about the guy but he does know how to
direct action who could forget the
climax where in Will Smith’s Mike
seemingly destroys half of Cuba with a
bright yellow Hummer or that highway
chase scene that no doubt caused
millions of dollars in damage but
somehow didn’t get him and Marcus fired
you’re watching a pure movie magic

number four xxx how did I get here
if the Fast and the Furious was the film
that put Vin Diesel on the map then xxx
is the one that turned him into a
household name the film attempted to
capitalize on the popularity of extreme
sports in the early 2000s as Diesel’s
Xander cage pulls off one daring stunt
after another while working as a secret
agent for the United States government
throughout the film he grinds a rail
using nothing more than a food tray
parachutes out of a car after driving it
off a bridge and out races an avalanche
while snowboarding
it’s the film’s complete lack of logic
and fun first attitude that earn it a
number three street fighter know who
wants to go home and who wants to go
with me based on the popular video game
series of the same name this live-action
adaptation featured jean-claude Van
Damme again this time hamming it up in
one of the campus films of all time the
fact that Street Fighter managed to turn
a respectable profit is astounding as
the film subjects viewers to more than
an hour and a half of cliches bad acting
and ridiculous plot lines however RAL
julia’s over-the-top performance as the
evil general bison and JCV Dee’s
penchant for cracking wise while beating
bad guys to a pulp helped to mask street
fighters many many faults if only
slightly too bad there’s no Academy
Award for films that are so bad
number two The Fast and the Furious
franchise
I only you 10-second car what started
off as a story about a cop infiltrating
the world of underground street racing
has somehow morphed into a multi-billion
dollar franchise involving supervillains
heists international terrorism and the
ROC however if there’s one thing that
has not changed over the years it’s the
series love of insane stunt work and
top-notch action sequences it’s
impossible to watch any of the Fast and
the Furious films and not be blown away
by the level of professionalism inherent
in each and every car chase race or
explosion these films are about blowing
things up making the actors look cool
and selling popcorn and they have
perfected the art of doing all three
before we unveil our number one pick
[Music]
you only have one shot left in here
[Music]
number one the Expendables franchise
last chance take it or leave it
there is perhaps no film series that
better embodies the guilty pleasure
category of the action genre than the
Expendables these films do not exist to
win awards quite the contrary
they are made to wow teenagers and
revive the careers of actors whose glory
days took place between the Reagan and
Clinton administration’s they’re about
muscle-bound good guys triumphing over
muscle-bound bad guys with nothing more
than a catchy one-liner a locked and
loaded machine gun and a whole lot of
grit and while Sylvester Stallone Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Dolph Lundgren have
gotten old watching them kick ass
together never will
