Robocop is my all-time favourite. I wish movies went back to being ultra violent like that.

commando is the best!

Commando is pretty much the king of action movies. It's got almost every cliche in the book, and a (probably) gay villain.

I can't choose a favorite right now cause there's too many.

All I really remember from Commando was the awesome "He's DEAD tired" bit.

my favorite part is when he pulls out the woman's car seat for no apparent reason other then to scare her!

Commando was a joy to watch. I highly recommend it!

Watching True Lies three times in one evening is one of the greatest experiences a person can have.

The Under Siege series, Surviving The Game, The Missing In Action Series, Lone Wolf McQuade are all great movies.

Carpenter's 'Escape' flicks were great.

Jean Claude Van Damme has been in a few belters, but Schwarzenegger films are the best - the trivia page on IMDB for Predator always makes me laugh.

I don't like those movies. At least with Scharzenegger movies, you get decent special effects and acting, most of the time. Those movies are just painfully bad to watch. It's kind of like saying redneck zombies is one of those good low budget horror movies. I just get uncomfortable with the horrible production values and turn it off.

Thats a stupid opinion to have

Not really a fair comparison. Shit like Redneck zombies is sloppy, without any entertainment value or effort put in. The Sidaris flicks are just silly fun.

Sidaris is Hal Needham and Russ Meyer rolled into one. Seriously, how can anybody not like that?

I've always been a fan of the action movies of the 80's (which I actually consider overall to be the best decade for movies). RoboCop is definately a classic with its excessive violence, excellent effects, and its satire and funny one-liners. I had a fascination with those films (and also the Rambo and Terminator movies) as a kid.

Matrix (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000216/): Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
Sully (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0446314/): That's right, Matrix. You did.
Matrix (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000216/): I lied.

The Marine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419946/) has enough senseless explosions for everyone. And then some.

And then some more.

what about hard target with steven segal

he kicks a gas can at someone, then shoots it (and it explodes, of course)

WOULDNT IT HAVE BEEN EASIER JUST TO CUT OUT THE MIDDLEMAN AND SHOOT THE PERSON INSTEAD, STEVEN

Hard Target was a Van Damme film. You're thinking of Hard to Kill.

I was kinda dissapointed by EFLA, although the ending was hilarious, and Snake was pretty cool.

Hard To Kill is one of the greatest films ever. It needs the mock treatment. It has some of the most ridiculous moments in history, like the part where Steven Segal is awakened from a coma by a kitten, and the really pissed off henchman who beats up random people while chasing a crippled Segal through a hospital.

While I don't remember the name of it theres a Segal movie that ends with Segal massacring about 9 people with a shotgun.
