You seen the alternate one?
It's too quick that's my only issue with it. I traded it in after a couple months of owning it cause I already handled my biz with it

Where dem nikkaz that voted though?
Also the way he says he took out Simon's goons before the sit down kind of presages how corny and bulletproof McLane would become in 4 and 5. Still makes more sense than shooting out a power line long range with a .38
Bazooka roulette though
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
I have. It was kinda meh too.. Idk. They obviously didnt know how to end it. Studios didnt like that og ending so they rush film an even worse ending. but i really liked the violence in this flick. That elevator scene..the boat scene. Good shyt. Die Hard 2
had a dope end climax But that plot was pretty weak.

T2, Die Hard, Matrix, Aliens, Predator, Raid 1 and Hard Boiled all solid 
TDK, I wouldn't pick it myself, but people have made some worthy arguments here so I get it
Empire Strikes back tho.
at people classing it as action. Strictly sci-fi, or at best adventure genre for me.
Now the Raid 2
So much about about that film was 
. Plot was unnecessarily convoluted, director wanted to have it both ways making a complex Hong Kong Johnnie To gangster movie and an action extravaganza at once, it threw out all the economy of pacing and story telling that made the first one work.
Some of the plot holes
you know to send 50 goons for the Mad Dog guy but not give one of them gun 
I still think the kitchen fight near the end might have had the best choreography of either movie however

IYeah I might have to. It's funny how that movie gets labeled more for a comedy....The lest 40 minutes is all action

Beverly Hills Cop
Hot Fuzz
The Other Guys
Rush Hour 2
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
James Cameron the GAWD two flicks in top 4, three in top 15. ppl always love telling me Nolan makes these "amazing action sequences" but no....Cameron has and always will be the greatest visual director in terms of great action sequences. thats why he's my favorite director of all time. no knock on nolan whom is climbing the charts, but he aint seeing James
I don't think Nolan makes great action pieces, but he's a phenomenal director for the atmosphere, cinematography, and story in his movies
