Just to peturb the film rooms knowledge :jbhmm:


Anyway I gotta go with the usual suspects


like zorros fighting legion which was the inspiration for alot of scenes in Indiana Jones


James Cagney in Blood on the Sun giving us one of the most gulliest fights ever




The prequel to Indiana Jones and the Temple of doom, the action of course is of its time, but the sets and characters are a joy to watch



Bogart in the treasure of the sierra madre fighting dirty



Fred Astaire in the band wagon which is basically smooth criminal

If you are into silent films Douglas Fairbanks had a few

Warner Bros' gangster movies

Cant really think of many action movies like what we think of today from back then
