and ring the bell
to get notified about our latest videos
for this list we’re bringing you the
craziest most overblown and wonderfully
over-the-top action flicks if you need
action and you need it big loud and
ridiculous you’ve come to the right
number ten Double Impact what’s better
than a movie starring jean-claude Van
Damme a movie starring – jean-claude Van
Damme’s
very funny this movie is the first of
several films in which the muscles from
Brussels squares off against or teams up
with his exact double in this one JCVD
plays chad and alex two twins who were
separated when they were infants and
must team up to take down a triad drug
ring believe this my brother as if that
wasn’t enough this movie also features a
showdown between Van Dam and the hulking
Hong Kong actor bolo yeung and trust us
when we say that that fight scene is
ridiculous in all the right ways never 9
we die together love him or hate him you
can’t deny the impact that Michael Bay
has had on the action genre and his
sequel to the 1995 original certainly
has all the earmarks of what has since
been dubbed to bay him Will Smith and
Martin Lawrence returned as a pair of
loose cannon Miami cops determined to
bring down the drug trade no matter how
many shootouts and our car chases it
with style to spare and a whole
truckload of high-impact fight scenes
this one remains a favorite among action
fans and do we even need to mention the
opening scene number 8 The Expendables
great they’ve got a small army what do
we got four and a Half Men
that’s so funny some of the reigning
kings of classic action cinema were
brought together for the very first time
in this all-out action extravaganza and
seeing Sylvester Stallone Arnold
Schwarzenegger Bruce Willis Jason
Statham and countless others together is
worth the price of admission all by
itself it was to be president following
an elite band of mercenaries the film is
the kind of hard are shoot him up that
action fans love with enough
over-the-top violence to satisfy even
the most die-hard fan whether it’s the
copious explosions or the legions of
witless goons getting turned into red
paint this movie delivers action in
spades and what else could you expect
number seven smokin aces you go you’re
staring at me like I just asked you for
the square root of something easily one
of the most stylish action movies to
come out of the mid-2000s this film by
director joe carnahan sees various
assassins set their sights on buddy aces
Israel a former Las Vegas magician
turned mob informant these guns for hire
lured in by the million dollar bounty on
Israel’s head are colorful to say the
least and it’s their explosive
personalities that put this movie on our
list if you want to see a whole slew of
Hollywood a-listers like Ben Affleck
Ryan Reynolds Chris Pine and more having
the absolute time of their lives chewing
scenery this is the movie for you my guy
the bureau betrayed us you betrayed us
deputy director you walk you betrayed us
the way you betrayed them number 6 crank
to clear now here’s a movie that should
need no introduction but here’s the
rundown just in case Jason Statham plays
an assassin who gets dosed with a rare
poison that will kill him if his heart
not one to take this lying down Statham
sets out to find the antidote engaging
in various high-octane action along the
way to keep his heart racing this means
that once the film gets going it really
never stops until the credits roll Jason
Statham is no stranger to insane action
and this one even tops the heights
previously hit by movies like
transporter 2 number 5 Furious 7
never should have messed with a match
family I told you brother the same thing
the fast in the Furious movies really
seemed to have more in common with the
superhero genre than the street racing
films the series started with and the
seventh installment proves that better
than most this entry in the long-running
series sees DOM and company racing to
recover a powerful computer program as
well as dodging our old friend Jason
Statham’s
don’t care about a computer I mean for
the team that crippled my brother this
is definitely the most insane entry in
the franchise with skydiving cars a
climax that reduces several city blocks
to rubble and definitely most memorable
of all our jump between two skyscrapers
who even cares that it’s done with CGI
number four shoot them up oh come on
shooting here look imagine what would
happen if you turned Bugs Bunny into a
trench-coated gun wielding badass and
then made a live-action movie about it
that is shoot-’em-up in a nutshell Clive
Owen stars as a gun-toting hero who has
to protect a baby from a seemingly
inexhaustible army of baddies you
probably think you’ve seen some
ridiculous gun fights before but you
Owens carrot munching hero seems to have
a knack for extremely creative violence
and it makes for an infectiously fun
ride that leaves sanity and reason in
the dust from the very first scene
[Music]
the first installment of Quentin
Tarantino’s blood-soaked revenge epic is
definitely the more over the top of the
two with uma thurman’s bride slashing
her way through more gang members than
we care to count the phone’s
show-stopping sword battle is full of so
much carnage that the MPAA demanded the
scene be altered and Tarantino pulled
out an old trick used by vintage martial
arts shows have the scene play out in
black and white in order to downplay the
massive amount of bloodshed but even in
classy black and white this has to be
one of the goriest most over-the-top and
most awesome sword fights in movie
number two face off is the eternal
battle between good and evil saint and
sinner before moving stateside action
ohter John Woo had already made quite a
name for himself in the Hong Kong film
scene with bullet ballet classics like
hard-boiled this wasn’t was first
American movie but the Nic Cage John
Travolta vehicle is definitely one of
his best Hollywood productions
oh well Plan B let’s just kill each
the two headliners play an FBI agent and
a notorious terrorist mastermind who
have their faces swapped leading to
confusion gunfights and one heck of a
speedboat chase even before the bullets
start flying you can tell this one’s
gonna be over the top thanks to cages
enthusiastic performance before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
number one commando have some beers in
Val Verde matrix it’ll give everyone a
little more time with your daughter you
have funny guy Sully I like you that’s
what I’m going to kill you last without
a doubt the cheesiest most over-the-top
most absolutely bonkers action movie in
the Governator z’ repertoire this 1985
action spectacular distills everything
we love about the action movie legend
into one film bennett after his daughter
is kidnapped
Arnold’s former Special Forces Colonel
launches a one-man war against a band of
South American criminals what follows is
a solid 90 minutes of ridiculous action
and some of the finest one-liners ever
to be uttered in an action movie don’t
disturb my friend is dead tired it’s
like the Platonic ideal of what an
Arnold Schwarzenegger movie is the
purest expression of 80s action movie
cheese and definitely the most
over-the-top action movie of all time
remember Sally when I promised to kill
you last do you agree with our picks
