Film school snobs may pretend to turn up their noses, but no matter how cultured you’d like to think you are, there’s a part of your lizard brain that loves explosions and shootouts and badass one-liners – and it needs to be satisfied. \r\nBut action flicks needn’t be dumb, loud or graphic to succeed. Some find beauty in orchestrated violence. Others might crane-kick you right in the heart. Some even have – gasp! – character development. And so, to help put together this definitive list of the greatest action movies ever made, we reached out to some of the people who understand the action genre better than anyone, from Die Hard director John McTiernan to Machete himself, Danny Trejo. Pull the pin, light the fuse and batten down the hatches – these are the most pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat thrill rides ever put to film. \r\nWritten by Eddy Frankel, Eddy Frankel, Yu An Su, Joshua Rothkopf, Trevor Johnston, Ashley Clark, Grady Hendrix, Tom Huddleston, Keith Uhlich, Dave Calhoun, Phil de Semlyen, Dave Calhoun and Matthew Singer\r\nRecommended:\r\n🔥 The 100 best movies of all-time🪖 The 18 greatest stunts in cinema (as picked by the greatest stunt people)🥋 The 25 best martial arts movies of all-time","shortDescription":"From ‘Aliens’ to ‘Zatoichi’: the greatest car-racing, punch-throwing, walking-away-from-explosions thrill rides in cinema","subTitle":"From ‘Aliens’ to ‘Zatoichi’: the greatest car-racing, punch-throwing, walking-away-from-explosions thrill rides in cinema","image":"https://media.timeout.com/images/106157687/image.jpg","imageCredit":"Photograph: Time Out","comscoreId":"7021684"}}};</script><script>window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];</script><script data-testid="gtm_testID">(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);

good action movie, even if some won’t admit it. Film school snobs may pretend to turn up their noses, but no matter how cultured you’d like to think you are, there’s a part of your lizard brain that loves explosions and shootouts and badass one-liners – and it needs to be satisfied. </span></p> <p><span>But action flicks needn’t be dumb, loud or graphic to succeed. Some find beauty in orchestrated violence. Others might crane-kick you right in the heart. Some even have – gasp! – character development. And so, to help put together this definitive list of the greatest action movies ever made, we reached out to some of the people who understand the action genre better than anyone, from <em><a href="https://www.timeout.com/movies/die-hard">Die Hard</a></em></span><span> director John McTiernan to Machete himself, Danny Trejo. Pull the pin, light the fuse and batten down the hatches – these are the most pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat thrill rides ever put to film. </span></p> <p><em>Written by <strong>Eddy Frankel, Eddy Frankel, Yu An Su, Joshua Rothkopf, Trevor Johnston, Ashley Clark, Grady Hendrix, Tom Huddleston, Keith Uhlich, Dave Calhoun, Phil de Semlyen, Dave Calhoun and Matthew Singer</strong></em></p> <p><strong>Recommended:</strong></p> <p><strong>🔥 </strong><a href="https://www.timeout.com/film/best-movies-of-all-time"><strong>The 100 best movies of all-time</strong></a><a href="https://www.timeout.com/film/best-thriller-movies"><strong><br /></strong></a><strong>🪖 <a href="https://www.timeout.com/film/the-18-greatest-stunts-in-movie-history">The 18 greatest stunts in cinema</a> (as picked by the greatest stunt people)</strong><a href="https://www.timeout.com/film/best-war-movies-of-all-time"><strong><br /></strong></a><strong>🥋 </strong><a href="https://www.timeout.com/film/best-martial-arts-movies-of-all-time"><strong>The 25 best martial arts movies of all-time</strong></a></p></div></div><div class="_landerNewsletter_vyjtl_6 _hidden_vyjtl_15"><div class="_container_1yfsl_1 newsletter_lander" data-component="inline-newsletter" data-newsletter-type="lander" data-testid="inline-newsletter_testID"><div class="row"><div class="panel_form"><div class="_section_heading_1yfsl_7"><p class="_form_title_1yfsl_32" data-lastword="friend.">Been there, done that?

Ho, ho, <em>ho</em>.”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>Alan Rickman’s final tumble: iconic, nostalgic, slightly-shoddy-effects–based glory.</p> <p><strong>Bruce cannon</strong><br />So here it is. The No. 1 spot, the top of the skyscraper. The perfect action movie. But does <em>Die Hard</em> really fit the bill? It doesn’t have anything to say about the state of the world. It doesn’t offer much insight into the human condition (though the image of Bruce Willis walking on broken glass could be taken as a poignant metaphor for life’s little brutalities). It isn’t exactly what pseuds would call High Art.</p> <p>All of which is precisely the point. If cinema is the perfect escapist medium—and until someone invents a virtual-reality device that works, it will be—then action movies are its purest expression, the best way we know of for humanity to shake itself loose from the trappings of humdrum reality and take to the ether. We don’t want to see ourselves reflected, we don’t want understanding or honesty or intellectual insight. We want speed and intensity, wit and wisecracks, cartoon violence and things going boom. We want <em>Die Hard</em>.</p> <p>The story is so ingenious, it’s incredible no one had thought of it before: A group of terrorists invades a state-of-the-art skyscraper and takes the inhabitants hostage. Their only hope is a man locked in with them, yet free to roam, a lone hero who must pick off the bad guys one by one, arcade-game–style, until he reaches the Big Boss. Admittedly, there are precedents—<a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/film/assault-on-precinct-13-1976"><em>Assault on Precinct 13</em></a> must have been an on-set favorite—but no one had told this tale with such streamlined precision before. It’s little accident that, in the wake of the film’s success, clones sprouted up like toadstools almost overnight, from <em>Die Hard</em> on a boat (<a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/film/under-siege"><em>Under Siege</em></a>) to <em>Die Hard</em> on a bus (<a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/film/speed"><em>Speed</em></a>) and this year’s <em>Die Hard</em> on a musical instrument (<a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/film/grand-piano"><em>Grand Piano</em></a>).</p> <p>That said, even the highest of concepts will only work if all the elements are right, and <em>Die Hard</em> is a textbook case of everything falling into place. John McTiernan’s direction pulls no punches, and there are sequences here—like the oft-imitated, never-bettered swinging-through-a-window-on-a-firehose moment—that achieve something close to visual poetry. The script is crammed with humor and invention, and whoever came up with the idea of setting it at Christmas deserves a big medal. But of course, the blue-ribbon winner in all this has to be Bruce Willis, who crashed from nowhere (well, from TV’s <em>Moonlighting</em>) onto the world’s stage, thanks to a combination of antiheroic self-mockery, battered but unbowed machismo and one very grubby T-shirt. <em>Yippie-ki-ay</em>, indeed.</p></div></div></div><section class="_container_1n9ei_1"><div class="_content_1n9ei_5"><div class="_profileHeadShotContainer_1ougx_55"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/tom-huddleston" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10"><div class="_imageWrap_1ougx_47"><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/106124156/170/170/image.jpg" alt="Tom Huddleston" class="lazyload"/></div></a></address></div><div class="_contentDetails_1n9ei_44"><span class="_authorName_1n9ei_31"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/tom-huddleston" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10">Tom Huddleston</a></address></span> <span class="_authorJobTitle_1n9ei_32">Arts and culture journalist</span></div></div></section><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/die-hard" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

Game over!”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene:<span> </span></strong>Ripley straps into a Power Loader suit to destroy the alien queen.</p> <p><strong>Moms and ammo<br /></strong>When James Cameron stepped into Ridley Scott’s space-horror boots to direct the sequel to the brilliant <a href="https://www.timeout.com/movies/alien"><em>Alien</em></a>, he didn’t try to ape the sickening, paranoid, slow creep of the original. He just said “Screw that subtlety shit” and went big on explosions, big on aliens, and let the guns (and mech-robots) do the talking. Where before there was endless deep-space dread and grimness, now there was fully fledged big-screen action. Cameron was a relative newbie at the time, having previously only directed <a href="https://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-100-best-action-movies-20-11#the-terminator-1984"><em>The Terminator</em></a>, but he took to big-budget work with gusto.</p> <p>Sigourney Weaver is pitted yet again against a vicious many-toothed foe, this time in an abandoned space colony, but now she’s surrounded by weapon-heavy Marines, hell-bent on kicking ass and taking no names. As in <em>Alien</em>, the plot centers around a male-dominated corporation’s obsession with developing bioweaponry, no matter what the human price may be. Yeah, it’s kind of a metaphor for the evils of big business, and sure, it’s an empowering fable about the strength of the female voice in a male world, but we all know what you’re here for: to watch Ripley stomp around in a huge mechanical suit and destroy some shockingly phallic alien bastards. And that’s awesome.</p></div></div></div><section class="_container_1n9ei_1"><div class="_content_1n9ei_5"><div class="_profileHeadShotContainer_1ougx_55"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/eddy-frankel" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10"><div class="_imageWrap_1ougx_47"><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/106137999/170/170/image.jpg" alt="Eddy Frankel" class="lazyload"/></div></a></address></div><div class="_contentDetails_1n9ei_44"><span class="_authorName_1n9ei_31"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/eddy-frankel" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10">Eddy Frankel</a></address></span> <span class="_authorJobTitle_1n9ei_32">Art Editor, UK</span></div></div></section><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/aliens" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-1-8600" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

Running over 200 minutes, it’s also a textbook example of making action mean more, because we’re totally engrossed in the lives of the characters. We truly feel the fear and abject hunger of vulnerable farmers, so desperate to protect their new crop that they’re paying hired samurai with their last grains of rice. You also feel the desperation of the masterless ronin prepared to take the job, since at least it means bed and board for a while.</p> <p>Kurosawa takes an hour to show us what’s at stake, and another hour showing how wise leader Takashi Shimura, volatile wanna-be samurai Toshiro Mifune and their cohorts plan to fend off their marauding foes. When the action does erupt, however, the ebb and flow of strategy is that much more absorbing, the casualties hitting hard, the payoff intense. Filmmaking of this breadth and depth takes courage, wisdom and the formal skills to put your ambitions on the screen. Utterly groundbreaking in its day, the kinetic energy with which Kurosawa’s mobile camera puts us in the midst of some hairy stunts and near-feral skirmishes has barely dated. Every action movie since owes him a debt for the hugely influential manner in which he distills space and movement into the enclosure of great cinema.</p></div></div></div><section class="_container_1n9ei_1"><div class="_content_1n9ei_5"><div class="_profileHeadShotContainer_1ougx_55"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/trevor-johnston" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10"><div class="_imageWrap_1ougx_47"><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/106094215/170/170/image.jpg" alt="Trevor Johnston" class="lazyload"/></div></a></address></div><div class="_contentDetails_1n9ei_44"><span class="_authorName_1n9ei_31"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/trevor-johnston" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10">Trevor Johnston</a></address></span> </div></div></section><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/seven-samurai-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9"><a href="/movies/the-wild-bunch-1" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>4.</span> The Wild Bunch (1969)</h3></a></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/the-wild-bunch-1" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="The Wild Bunch (1969)" alt="The Wild Bunch (1969)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714501/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="The Wild Bunch (1969)" alt="The Wild Bunch (1969)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><figcaption class="_figcaption_hqefd_1" data-testid="image-credits_testID"><span>Photo: Courtesy of Warner Brothers/Seven Arts</span></figcaption></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><p><strong>Director: </strong>Sam Peckinpah</p> <p><strong>Cast: </strong>William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan</p> <p><strong>Best quote: </strong>“We’re after men.

Then again, no other Western has proven as durably modern, or able to speak to a younger generation like this one. (Not for nothing, The Wild Bunch was comfortably the highest-ranked oater on our list.) It might be time for a rethink: <em>The Wild Bunch</em> is still very much with us, in every movie that gushes slo-mo rivers of blood in the name of brotherly principle, in every action film that lunges for timely political complexity amid the spent ammo casings and slung epitaphs.</p> <p><a href="http://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-50-greatest-war-films-of-all-time">The Vietnam War</a> was raging when the movie was being made, and Peckinpah seized on those allegorical resonances, hoping to confront viewers with footage similar to what they were seeing on the nightly news. Call it a mark of his virtuosity (or naïveté) that the movie was met with a polarized response, some hailing it as a masterpiece, other pointing to it as a sign of a bankrupt art form. <a href="http://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-50-most-controversial-movies-ever#wild-bunch"><em>The Wild Bunch</em></a> is breathtaking in its uncompromised grubbiness, the almighty dollar leading good men to their doom, and lesser men to a mercenary bounty. It echoes some of the director’s own struggles in Hollywood, but mainly stands as a testament to integrity: Go dark, go deep, and true action fans will follow you to the ruinous end.—<em>Joshua Rothkopf</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/the-wild-bunch-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-2-4571" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

These days the phrase <em>he does his own stunts</em> implies relatively risk-free challenges, but Chan’s ’80s peak delivers a whole other level of insanity. Yes, that really is his gung-ho cop dangling by an umbrella off a moving double-decker bus in <em>Police Story</em>’s opening salvo, one slip away from a bone-breaking fall. (Moments later, the stuntmen tumbling from the top deck to the tarmac all ended up in hospital, lengthening a serious injury list that saw the star form a stunt-team association to pay their medical bills.)</p> <p>By the time mainstream audiences encountered Chan in 1998’s <a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/film/rush-hour"><em>Rush Hour</em></a>, age and common sense had caught up with him, and he never quite matched the exuberant blend of comic knockabout thrills and heart-stopping spills from this landmark cop flick, where his character’s pledge to protect state witness Brigitte Lin endangers both of them. The star’s expertise in fight choreography also made him an assured action director, committed to registering the hurt and commitment the performers put in. If he shows his own climactic shopping-mall leap from three different angles, it’s not egotism—only making sure we believe he’d do something that batshit crazy. The after effects of electrocution, burned hands and damaged vertebrae have long dissipated (Jackie says), but the flying three-story fall has since become celluloid legend.—<em>Trevor Johnston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/police-story-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/enter-the-dragon" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>6.</span> Enter the Dragon (1973)</h3></a></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/enter-the-dragon" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Enter the Dragon (1973)" alt="Enter the Dragon (1973)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714489/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Enter the Dragon (1973)" alt="Enter the Dragon (1973)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><p><strong>Director: </strong>Robert Clouse</p> <p><strong>Cast: </strong>Bruce Lee, Jim Kelly, John Saxon</p> <p><strong>Best quote: </strong>“Boards don’t hit back.”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>Lee takes on an army.</p> <p><strong>Bruce Lee goes to grindhouse heaven</strong><br /><a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/artist/bruce-lee">Bruce Lee</a>’s fame is based on a mere four movies he made as an adult, and <em>Enter the Dragon</em> was the lightning strike that transformed him into an international box-office icon, one month after his death.

His ax shoots flames, shaming the memory of Kiss.</p> <p><strong>On the Road again<br /></strong>The fourth installment of George Miller’s rambunctious post-apocalyptic saga arrives like a tornado tearing through a tea party. In an age of weightless spectacles that studios whittle down from visions to products, here’s a movie that feels like it was made by kidnapping $150 million of Warner Bros.’ money, absconding with it to the Namibian desert, and sending footage back to Hollywood like the amputated body parts of a ransomed hostage. Marrying the mordant frenzy of Terry Gilliam’s cinematic universe with the explosive grandeur of James Cameron, Miller cooks up some of the most exhilaratingly sustained action ever captured on camera. The digital effects, sparingly used, take a backseat to the film’s non-stop parade  of “people actually did that!?” stunt work. With Charlize Theron’s Furiosa behind the wheel, though, <em>Fury Road</em> steers this testosterone-soaked franchise in a brilliant new direction, forging a mythical portrait about the urgent need for female rule in a world where men need to be saved from themselves.</p></div></div></div><section class="_container_1n9ei_1"><div class="_content_1n9ei_5"><div class="_contentDetails_1n9ei_44"><span class="_authorName_1n9ei_31"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/david-ehrlich" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10">David Ehrlich</a></address></span> </div></div></section><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/hard-boiled" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>8.</span> Hard Boiled (1992)</h3></a></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/hard-boiled" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Hard Boiled (1992)" alt="Hard Boiled (1992)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101714435/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Hard Boiled (1992)" alt="Hard Boiled (1992)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><p><strong>Director: </strong>John Woo</p> <p><strong>Cast: </strong>Chow Yun Fat, Tony Chiu Wai Leung, Anthony Wong</p> <p><strong>Best quote: </strong>“You’re full of shit, you know that? There’s a toilet over there.”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>A cop spits a toothpick faster than he shoots a bullet.</p> <p><strong>Not over easy</strong><br />It’s just another day for Hong Kong policeman “Tequila” Yuen (<a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/artist/Chow-Yun-Fat">Chow Yun Fat</a>) and his partner, until the sting they’re overseeing at a teahouse goes very wrong. One of the lawmen lies dead. Tequila, meanwhile, blazes his way through the bad guys, putting a bloody end to one gangster with a gunshot to the face. That’s just the opening scene of John Woo’s vigorous rogue-cop thriller—one of his best bullet-riddled ballets. Eventually, an undercover agent, Alan (<a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/artist/tony-leung">Tony Leung</a>), emerges to give Tequila a run for his money, though in true Woo fashion, both men find they have similar stoic-macho codes and an identical goal: bring down the criminal syndicate led by ruthless mobster Johnny Wong (Anthony Wong).</p> <p>Tequila’s love for jazz—he frequents a blues bar run, in a delightful bit of casting, by Woo himself—epitomizes this go-for-broke adventure, which moves between modes (moodily mournful one moment, fiercely kinetic the next) with the sublime confidence of a virtuoso playing at peak form. There’s a valedictory quality to the movie that seems especially poignant in retrospect, since this was the last film Woo made before he spent a decade-plus churning out Hollywood product of varying quality (<a href="http://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-100-best-action-movies-20-11#face-off-1997">see our No. 19</a>). What a way to go out, though, especially in the astonishing climax in which Tequila and Alan infiltrate Johnny Wong’s arsenal…which just happens to be housed in a hospital filled to brimming with sick patients and newborn infants. By that point, even <em>Hard Boiled</em> seems too soft a title.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/hard-boiled" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-4-9604" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

Here, those positions are all but switched, but perhaps that’s as it should be. <a href="http://www.timeout.com/london/film/the-100-best-sci-fi-movies-10-1?pageNumber=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Terminator</em></a> is a perfect science-fiction movie, packed with ideas and invention, but thanks in large part to its tight budget, the action can feel a little constrained. The sequel suffered no such setbacks. By this point the most in-demand director in Hollywood, James Cameron was given a blank check to realize his most extreme destructive visions, and the result is a film that rockets from one incendiary set piece to the next, barely pausing for breath as burned-out trucks, exploding cop cars and crashed helicopters pile in its wake.</p> <p>It’s also—with the arguable addition of <a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/film/jurassic-park-2011"><em>Jurassic Park</em></a>—the film that proved once and for all what computer-generated special effects were capable of. Admittedly, many of the most impressive effects were in-camera: The aforementioned helicopter crash is a triumph of practical ingenuity. But from the first appearance of the murderous, mercurial T-1000, a steely shape-shifter played to perfection by the blank-faced Robert Patrick, it was clear that something entirely new had been brought into the world. It’s possible to pick holes in the film—it’s sentimental in a way its predecessor wasn’t, and the employment of Arnie’s original Terminator as a comic sidekick can become grating—but as an action movie, this one’s hard to beat. And yet…—<em>Tom Huddleston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/terminator-2-judgment-day" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/raiders-of-the-lost-ark" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>10.</span> Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)</h3></a></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/raiders-of-the-lost-ark" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" alt="Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433497/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" alt="Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><p><strong>Director: </strong>Steven Spielberg</p> <p><strong>Cast: </strong>Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman</p> <p><strong>Best quote: </strong>“Snakes.

Rather, consider <em>Raiders</em> as a statement of ceaseless forward momentum, made by two impatient movie brats rewriting the rules of Hollywood. First, we see the dark Peruvian jungle, then the bullwhip, the golden idol, the boulder (the <em>boulder</em>, people), the blowgun-armed natives, the vine leap to the plane and finally, the supreme wink of a gag line, delivered by the pilot: “Come on, show a little backbone, will ya?” All in 12 minutes.</p> <p>Action movies had never before been this supercharged, nor would they be, by virtually anyone else. It’s a perfect entertainment machine, effortlessly involving to teenage boys (fine, guilty as charged) or anyone looking for a pure hit of hotsy-totsy-Nazi escapism. When the dust settles on Spielberg’s career, many fans will point to his childlike sense of wonderment, supported by John Williams’s stirring orchestral scores and infused in the plots themselves. <em>Raiders of the Lost Ark</em>, meanwhile, just throws you in, with little time to think. (We’re hot on the trail of…the power of the Hebrew God?) It might be more of a masterpiece than any of Spielberg’s other triumphs, simply for unearthing the treasure of the chase, running down the magic for a perfect two hours and then, suggestively, hiding it in a dusty warehouse as if to say: Now it’s your turn.

Here is everything you could ever require from an action scene distilled into one easy package: speed, intensity, noise, competitiveness, swearing, gunfire, shiny surfaces and things blowing up. And no filmmaker has ever shot a pulse-pounding pedal-to-the-metal pursuit better than Australian legend <a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/artist/George-Miller">George Miller</a>, doing everything short of shoving the audience’s face into the fan belt to ensure that we can feel every bump in the road, every grind of the gears, every fender-bending slam.</p> <p><em>The Road Warrior</em> is without doubt Miller’s finest hour as a director, laying down the narrative ground rules in the first 20 minutes or so: Surly postapocalyptic drifter Max (Gibson) agrees to help a group of mullet-haired survivalists drag a truck filled with oil out of the Aussie desert, while a bunch of leather-clad loonies try to stop him. And when Miller pulls out the stops, no director on earth can match him: The closing chase, pitting Max’s V8 Special and accompanying Mack tanker against an army of souped-up dune buggies and rusted-out roadsters, is a symphony of destruction, an epic of excess, and arguably the finest automotive action sequence ever shot.</p></div></div></div><section class="_container_1n9ei_1"><div class="_content_1n9ei_5"><div class="_profileHeadShotContainer_1ougx_55"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/tom-huddleston" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10"><div class="_imageWrap_1ougx_47"><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/106124156/170/170/image.jpg" alt="Tom Huddleston" class="lazyload"/></div></a></address></div><div class="_contentDetails_1n9ei_44"><span class="_authorName_1n9ei_31"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/tom-huddleston" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10">Tom Huddleston</a></address></span> <span class="_authorJobTitle_1n9ei_32">Arts and culture journalist</span></div></div></section><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/mad-max-2-the-road-warrior" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

The action-packed first part achronologically details the roaring rampage of revenge undertaken by the Bride (Uma Thurman), a trained assassin out to slay the former associates who left her and her unborn child for dead. It culminates in the celebrated House of Blue Leaves sequence, in which our sword-wielding heroine takes down a gaggle of masked antagonists and shaves off more than the hair on the head of Lucy Liu’s yakuza villainess. The second volume becomes more contemplative (ass-kicking mobile-home standoff with one-eyed Daryl Hannah notwithstanding) as the Bride closes in on the gang’s leader: her former inamorato Bill (David Carradine, relishing QT’s pop-infused soliloquies). As always with Tarantino, it’s the words that provide the real action, cutting deeper than any blade could.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/kill-bill-vol-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-6-3999" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

But if Hong Kong and Hollywood had slightly lost the plot, they still did things the old way in Thailand. Enter Phanom Yeerum—a.k.a. Tony Jaa in English–speaking territories—who combined the feline agility of Jackie Chan and punishing close-quarter skills of Jet Li, with his own brand of Muay Thai–influenced destruction. There’s no wire work or CGI in sight as he demolishes the bad people who nicked his village’s Buddha statue, and if he lacks a certain acting presence, his free-flowing parkour-style slinkiness (let’s jump through a ring of razor wire!) more than compensates. The trademark move, however, is the flying elbow to the top of the skull, just one of the many Muay Thai maneuvers with their own special nomenclature. Liked Tony’s “wildcat fight”?

When even the Bond franchise begins feeling a little Bourne-ish, you know the tail is wagging the dog. It helps when you have an actor like Matt Damon, turning Robert Ludlum’s stoic literary creation into his signature role, equal parts ferocity and bruised betrayal (and, yes, superhuman reserve). The screenplay proved extra daring in its post-9/11 moment: Bourne returns home to a somber NYC to confront his masters, who perpetuate a state of fear in a decade that needed no more of it. Bourne is an amnesiac beginning to remember his past; <em>Ultimatum</em>, too, reminds us of a panache that’s largely been forgoken. A metal-crunching Manhattan car chase and a phenomenal assassination at London’s Waterloo station are staged by director Paul Greengrass (<em>United 93</em>) with jazzy fluidity.—<em>Joshua Rothkopf</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/the-bourne-ultimatum" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/once-upon-a-time-in-china-ii" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>18.</span> Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Action and adventure</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/once-upon-a-time-in-china-ii" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)" alt="Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433499/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)" alt="Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Tsui Hark</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Xiong Xin-xin</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“If we are so rotten, how can our country be saved?

The xenophobic White Lotus Cult has declared holy war on foreigners, while the Qing empress is trying to round up and execute Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s revolutionaries. Caught between them is Wong Fei-hung (Jet Li), avatar of Confucian virtue and master of martial arts. An actual Chinese folk hero, Wong Fei-hung featured in over 70 films between 1949 and 1970, but received a new lease on life when director Tsui Hark revived him with 1991’s<span> </span><em>Once Upon a Time in China</em>. But it’s<span> </span><em>Part II</em><span> </span>that the fans love, and it’s easy to see why. A nightmarish phantasmagoria of Chinese-on-Chinese violence, only Wong Fei-hung and his strict moral code (and awesome kung fu) stands against the tidal wave of blood unleashed by religious extremists and government thugs alike. Frankly, we could use some of that today.—<em>Grady Hendrix</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/once-upon-a-time-in-china-ii" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-9-1085" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

But while the bandana-wearing, M60-toting protagonist eventually became an emblem of Reaganite hawkishness, his origin story is shaped by an almost diametrically opposed sensibility: firmly on the side of embittered soldiers isolated by society after the trauma of combat, and critical of America’s weekend-warrior culture for its unforgivably glib attitude toward firearms. From an early flashback in which Sly’s harassed drifter conflates abusive Oregon cops with the Vietcong who once tortured him, it treats the escalating hostilities with convincing gravitas, while stringing together tautly conceived confrontations in and around the mist-shrouded mountain landscape. For all the blade work, gunfire and explosions, though, it’s Sly’s final emotional meltdown that’s most potent of all, a nakedly vulnerable outpouring where John Rambo’s terrifying, pitiable contradictions are laid bare.—<em>Trevor Johnston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/first-blood" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/robocop" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>20.</span> RoboCop (1987)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Action and adventure</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/robocop" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="RoboCop (1987)" alt="RoboCop (1987)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101630197/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="RoboCop (1987)" alt="RoboCop (1987)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Paul Verhoeven</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O’Herlihy</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“Bitches, leave!”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>RoboCop nemesis ED-209 brings a board meeting to a bloody halt.</p> <p><strong>I was born ’bot</strong></p> <p>For his second English-language feature, Dutch bad boy Paul Verhoeven took us to a time in the not-too-distant future when Detroit is a crime-ridden, economically depressed metropolis (who’da thought?) in desperate need of a hero. Enter rookie flatfoot Alex Murphy (Peter Weller), who is literally shot to pieces on his first day and resurrected by the corporate conglomerate OCP as a steely metallic cyborg who serves the public trust, protects the innocent and upholds the law. (Also: shoots would-be rapists in the gonads.) But something human is still stirring inside. The film is both a biting satire of consumer culture—love those interstitial faux commercials—and an emotional character study (Murphy’s flashes of his former home life are tinged with sorrow).

What really makes<span> </span><em>The Matrix</em><span> </span>fly is the action: With their new “bullet time” technique (essentially a triggered series of hundreds of still photographs taken around a moving subject), the Wachowskis found a way to convincingly “move” the camera within an all-CG environment, revolutionizing action films, music videos and try-hard TV ads for the next decade.—<em>Tom Huddleston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/the-matrix" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

It’s there in the casting of Henry Fonda, a long-time upstanding good guy in the genre, as a chilling, child-slaying villain in black. And it’s there in its refusal to equate progress with civilisation (the railroad bring death and corruption in this film) and in its mood of melancholy. With help from Dario Argento and Bernardo Bertolucci, Leone pens a dusty requiem to an old way of life that’s embroidered by Ennio Morricone’s musical motifs and delivered with the director’s own trademark extravagance as the bullets begin to fly. Charles Bronson provides an enigmatic centrepiece, with Jason Robarts and Claudia Cardinale delivering swagger and heart – a strange, undefined trio who represent a strange, undefined form of justice.—</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Phil de Semlyen</span></em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-11-7510" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

The opening credits are a dazzling work of art in themselves, as Gordon Liu performs his high-kicking martial-arts exercises in an empty, spotlit studio, gold bangles jangling on his wrists. Then the story kicks in: Liu plays Liu Yude, a rebellious student who realizes that the only way to help his downtrodden people fight against Manchu oppression is to learn the ancient ways of Shaolin. But the monks abhor violence—will they aid this charismatic renegade? Like its questing hero,<span> </span><em>The 36th Chamber</em><span> </span>achieves a near-perfect balance between violent action and keen-sighted moral, spiritual and philosophical inquiry.

Heat is an action fan’s dream, provided that dream includes room for the serious topic of professional compromise, marital dysfunction and parental abandonment. The movie’s main protagonists—Vincent (Pacino), a hard-driving lieutenant, and Neil (De Niro), a wary career criminal looking for that proverbial last job—both have commitment issues; their game of cat and mouse involves a ton of collateral damage. (Pay note to a 14-year-old Natalie Portman, whose fragile character could use a dad.) When the movie breaks out the guns, it becomes abstractly beautiful, especially during a brazen midday bank robbery scored to Brian Eno’s pumping synth beats. It’s a scene of urban warfare that’s never been eclipsed.—<em>Joshua Rothkopf</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/heat" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-12-3473" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

Few genres are as rewarding as action when it comes to second chapters upping the ante, improving on the stunts, pumping up the explosions. Jackie Chan proved himself the king of subsequent installments as his career entered its golden phase in the 1990s. Wong Fei Hung is one of Chan’s most likable creations: the dutiful son of a teacher who nonetheless brings shame upon his family by pursuing the unpredictable art of “drunken boxing,” all dizzying feints and unexpected blows. And it turns out that actually getting soused helps the practitioner; several scenes in<span> </span><em>Drunken Master II</em><span> </span>have Chan desperately smashing bottles and guzzling down their contents for strength, even as his challengers rush him. The film’s extended, fire-breathing climax is a high point of Chan’s Peking Opera–trained artistry, a master class in hand-to-hand combat with a video-game–like frenzy.—<em>Joshua Rothkopf</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/project-a" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>26.</span> Project A (1983)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Action and adventure</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/project-a" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Project A (1983)" alt="Project A (1983)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433500/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Project A (1983)" alt="Project A (1983)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Jackie Chan</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“Big Nose, if you don’t jump now, forget about making any more films.”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>A three-story drop from a clock tower with no safety nets</p> <p><strong>Big stunts, big chases, big action: the first “real” Jackie Chan movie</strong><br />The aforementioned quote was shouted at Jackie by his “big brother,” Sammo Hung, as Chan clung to the face of a clock tower for a week, terrified of the three-story fall he was about to take. But with the aid of Sammo’s gentle abuse, Jackie let go, and the rest is history. The first Jackie Chan movie to combine large-scale stunts with balls-out action,<span> </span><em>Project A</em><span> </span>also cemented his onscreen persona as the ultimate Hong Kong everyman, a working-class guy who just wants to get through the day, and maybe take his girlfriend out for dinner. That a gang of pirates doesn’t want that to happen is merely an exasperating complication, like crosstown traffic. Whether he’s staging a bike chase down back alleys, swinging from a chandelier, or almost breaking his neck, it’s Jackie’s endless physical resourcefulness in the face of overwhelming odds that feels like a refreshing shower for your soul.—<em>Grady Hendrix</em></p> </div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/project-a" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-13-4177" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

But it’s in balancing these scenes with the cozy suburban warmth of Glover’s family life that the screenplay (by then-25-year-old Shane Black) finds its center, and becomes more than just another full-throttle beat-’em-up.—<em>Tom Huddleston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/lethal-weapon-5" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

It started out as a homage to Martin Scorsese and Jean-Pierre Melville, but the limitless arsenal of guns and rocket-launchers appears to have gotten in the way. Exquisitely-tailored contract killer Jeff (Chow Yun-Fat, Hong Kong's finest actor) accidentally damages the sight of nightclub singer Jennie while blasting a dozen gangsters to kingdom come. He befriends the near-blind girl, and decides to take One Last Job to finance the cornea graft she needs.

The set-up, of course, involves a law enforcer battling their way to reach a superbad at the top of a tower block. That man is charismatic </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">pencak silat</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> superstar Iko Uwais, who pulls out moves we didn’t even know the human body was capable of in punching, stabbing, kicking and hammering his way up myriad storeys of an unusually dangerous housing project. It’s almost too much, except Evans remembers to throw in moments of (relatively) light relief and humanity to help catch our breath before the next round of pummelling starts. The best action film of the decade? Very possibly.—</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Phil de Semlyen</span></em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/the-raid" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-15-1312" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

It’s crazier than it looks – if he mistimed it at all, the movie might be famous for entirely grimmer reasons.</span></p> <p><strong><em>I choo-choo-choose you<br /></em></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Long before Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise or the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jackass</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> franchise, there was Buster Keaton, cinema’s original pratfall artist and the actor who redefined the boundaries of just how far a movie star could or should go to personally entertain an audience. ‘Movie magic’ had just barely been invented when the guy tossed it all out and said: ‘Screw all that, I’m doing this shit </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">for real</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">,’ and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The General </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">is perhaps his greatest achievement, both as a film and as a feat of daredevilry most studios would never dare to insure today. Set during the American Civil War, Keaton plays a Confederate railroad engineer whose beloved locomotive is stolen by Union spies with his paramour aboard. (Yes, the Union are the villains. Hey, it was the ’20s.) Cue what’s effectively a movie-length chase scene, filled with legit cannonfire, bridge derailments and the aforementioned cowcatcher scene, still one of the most famous stunts in film history. Sure, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The General </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">is the oldest full-length feature on this list, but it’s not simply a historical milemarker.

Director William Friedkin sucks up the sights and menacing sizzle of the rundown, wintry metropolis, with a shouty, near-comic raid on a Brooklyn dive bar and ample shots of wet streets, looming bridges and packed subway trains. It’s a master class in tense, doc-style location shooting. But a set piece for the ages comes late in the game, as Popeye commandeers a passing car to chase a hijacked subway train under its elevated track (Friedkin’s camera is mounted on both train and automobile).

Astonishingly beautiful, this is an action film loved even by those who hate such things. The plot concerns a warrior, Li Mu Bai (Chow), who, about to retire, entrusts his sword to Yu Shu Lien (Yeoh); their unspoken love is the heart and soul of the film. Zhang plays the daughter of a local governor who has secretly learned martial arts. Taiwanese-born director Ang Lee has said he wanted to make a tribute to the <em>wuxia</em> films he grew up with. The film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film and scored the highest-ever box-office gross in the U.S. for a film not in English (it wasn’t really about talk to begin with).—<em>Cath Clarke</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/crouching-tiger-hidden-dragon" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>36.</span> Dragons Forever (1988)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Dragons Forever (1988)" alt="Dragons Forever (1988)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433501/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Dragons Forever (1988)" alt="Dragons Forever (1988)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Sammo Hung</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“Pigeons—the disciples of capitalism.

In<span> </span><em>Dragons</em>, Jackie plays a sleazebag attorney defending a slimeball who polluted a nice lady’s fish hatchery. Blocked by the opposing lady lawyer, he hires a small-time crook (“Big Brother” Sammo) and an unhinged surveillance expert (“Little Brother” Yuen) to help him entrap the defendants, but then everyone falls in love. The three amigos can’t stop fighting long enough to do their jobs, but the jokes end with a final fight in a drug lab that is, quite simply, one of the greatest action scenes of all time. This marked the last time the three brothers all worked together, but they went out in style, setting the screen on fire and breaking every jaw in sight.—<em>Grady Hendrix</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-18-5572" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

Sure, it’s got some banger sequences – emphasis on ‘bang’ – but it could also slot in as a horror film, or a melodrama, or a psychological thriller. In truth, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oldboy </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">belongs to a genre entirely of its own design. But those aforementioned action scenes… well, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">goddamn</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Most of the other directors on this list would give up their filmographies for a sequence as awesome as the side-scrolling hallway fight, as vengeful father Oh Dae-su (a mesmerising Choi Min-sik) mows down a whole crew of henchmen using only a hammer.

(“Sir, do we get to win this time?” our hero asks beforehand.) The perma-sweaty, muscle-bound Sly grunts and grimaces his way through a string of violent set pieces, mercilessly slaying faceless villains with whichever tools are lying around: fishing lines, bazookas, or, in one memorable scene, an exploding arrowhead.

Channeling all his frustrations into the script,<span> </span><em>A Better Tomorrow</em><span> </span>ushered in a new era of ballistic brotherhood. Ti Lung plays a crook, just out of the slammer, caught between patching things up with his little brother, a cop (Leslie Cheung), and staying away from his old boss (Waise Lee) who wants him back in the game. When the pressure gets to be too much, things explode into two-gunned action with the help of his old comrade-in-arms, Mark (Chow Yun Fat), onetime king of cool, now a limping squeegee man. Written in fire and blood, the image of Mark, a gun in each hand, trench coat flapping like black wings, branded itself into the brains of a generation of action fans, and still appears in movies to this day.—<em>Grady Hendrix</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/a-better-tomorrow" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

C’mon, a movie about Keanu Reeves as an ex-college football player turned hotshot detective named Johnny Utah going undercover to bust a gang of SoCal surfer bank robbers led by Patrick Swayze as a hunky zen master known only as Bodhi? Sure, hilarious</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">premise, but is this a film we’re </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">really </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">supposed to take seriously? Then, somewhere around your 20th viewing, you realise your palms still get sweaty during Keanu’s parachuteless skydive and your jaw still goes slack during that iconic foot chase,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and you see </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Point Break </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">for the absolute guilt-free, high-octane, sky-shooting, pitbull-tossing, vaguely homoerotic banger that it is. Not that it</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> isn’t</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> laugh-out-loud absurd at points… or at basically every point.

Henry Cavill’s fist-reloading physicality (fist reloading!) and Cruise’s wiry, against-the-odds vigour and subtle comic timing make for an awesome double act. There’s a reason it’s on </span><a href="https://www.timeout.com/film/the-18-greatest-stunts-in-movie-history"><span style="font-weight: 400;">this list of the greatest stunts ever</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><strong>Well, HALO there<br /></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">From </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fast and Furious</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to the mass of superhero movies, all franchises lose their spark in the end. Not </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mission Impossible </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">and definitely not </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fallout</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a sixth instalment that builds on the strengths of </span><a href="https://www.timeout.com/movies/mission-impossible-ghost-protocol-1"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ghost Protocol</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to deliver a taut, tense and thrilling blockbuster. What it might lack in visual aesthetic it trades for a string of unthinkable action setpieces, making it the most daring instalment since Brian De Palma’s slick 1996 original, director Christopher McQuarrie keeps things moving at lightning speed. No action sequence is allowed to falter: from the brutal bathroom beatdown, to the hair-raising HALO jump, to the climactic helicopter-on-helicopter battle – and all without resorting to heavy CGI or clever editing. Cruise’s masochistic dedication to entertaining the moviegoing masses makes this one of the most exhilarating mainstream action films in recent years.

The film takes a men-on-a-mission scenario (old soldiers Marvin, Lancaster and Robert Ryan head south of the border to rescue kidnap victim Cardinale) and infuses it with star-driven banter, intermittent action highlights, and much musing on the transient nature of idealism by hardened pros.

Sharp Manufacturers is a sword factory protected from the violence raging outside its walls by Master, who tolerates zero nonsense. But his daughter (Song Nei) is bored and decides to play with the help, manipulating two apprentice sword makers into a contest for her affections, unleashing a tidal wave of sex and blood that drowns them all.

This is the most twisted Pygmalion story in the history of cinema, in which a hangdog lonely hit man, Léon (Jean Reno), teaches streetwise 12-year-old Mathilda (Natalie Portman) the art of killing after a psychotic cop (Gary Oldman) takes out her family. The pair finds redemption in each other: Léon, a man who calls the houseplant on his windowsill his best friend, learns to love; Mathilda finds security and strength. The film splits audiences: Is their relationship sweetly touching or, given her age, troubling? Is Oldman the scariest, most deranged villain since Jack Nicholson in <em>The Shining</em>? Or an overacting ham? Wherever you stand, <em>Léon</em> is slick, stylish and unpredictable, with its share of explosive action scenes.—<em>Cath Clarke</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

Now it’s impossible to imagine any actor other than Matt Damon in the role. Watching<span> </span><em>The Bourne Identity</em>, the first film in the series, Damon looks touchingly young, bringing vulnerability to the near-superhuman Jason Bourne, who is pulled out of the sea by fishermen with bullets in his back and his memory wiped. The mega-successful conspiracy-thriller franchise has reinvented the genre, kick-starting a new generation of gritty action movies by lending them the texture of real life. You can certainly trace<span> </span><em>Bourne</em><span> </span>in Daniel Craig’s 007 films, but, according to Damon, there are a million miles between Bourne and Bond, whom he calls “a misogynist, an imperialist. He’s all the things that Bourne isn’t. He kills people, then drinks a martini.” The protectiveness is sweet, really.—<em>Cath Clarke</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/the-bourne-identity" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-25-3654" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

The tale of four hopeless losers forced by poverty and desperation to take a job driving trucks filled with nitroglycerine dynamite across the worst roads in the Amazon jungle, this is an unrelentingly sweaty, grimy, dread-filled experience. But it’s also one of the cinema’s toughest, least forgiving portraits of men on the edge, barreling toward certain death and bitching miserably every inch of the way.—<em>Tom Huddleston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/the-wages-of-fear-2" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9"><a href="/movies/john-wick" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>52.</span> John Wick (2014)</h3></a></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/john-wick" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="John Wick (2014)" alt="John Wick (2014)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433495/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="John Wick (2014)" alt="John Wick (2014)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><figcaption class="_figcaption_hqefd_1" data-testid="image-credits_testID"><span>David Lee</span></figcaption></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Chad Stahelski and an uncredited David Leitch</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer.

John Wick (Keanu Reeves, channeling his euphoric <em>whoa</em> of yore) is a recent widower and secret assassin whose final gift from his cancer-stricken wife—a floppy-eared beagle—is snuffed out with a sad little yelp during a brutal home invasion by Russian thugs. Wick recovers in record time, then out come the guns, the rifles and the mysterious gold coins, as <em>Game of Thrones</em>' hapless Alfie Allen (forever destined to be a picked-upon target) finds himself pursued by a ruthless, legendary killing machine that every other character seems wise enough to fear. <em>John Wick</em> is action manna for its cleanly designed gun-fu sequences, ones you can actually follow. The film's codirectors, veteran stunt experts, have designed the movie within an eye for impact, and there's an elegant sparseness here that's thrilling.

But like all good drag shows, it’s also a total guilty pleasure. Donnie Yen doubles down on his self-conscious cool, all peacock struts, leather jackets and skinny jeans as he infiltrates a Vietnamese gang with undercover buddy Wilson (Louis Koo). The two bros frequently meet on the beach, topless, to see who has the better bod. The first 50 minutes are devoted to characters repeating that Donnie is a “loose cannon.” The final 30 minutes are a nonstop orgy of mayhem showcasing Donnie’s new-school action choreography that features boxing, judo, MMA, Muay Thai and karate.

With its stunningly detailed visuals, rigorously controlled color scheme and clean, episodic storytelling, it remains the purest example to date of cinema-as-comic book. A murderer’s row of quality acting talent—including Gerard Butler, Michael Fassbender and Dominic West—lines up to stab, spear and slash their way through a blood-spattered retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae. Special mention should be made of Rodrigo Santoro, who gives a deliciously ripe performance as the bejeweled, pierced and ultra-sadistic villain Xerxes.

Founded by a Buddhist nun, this fighting style with its up-close contact and low kicks is constantly dissed as sissy fu, but<span> </span><em>The Prodigal Son</em><span> </span>dumps that junk in a grave. Yuen Biao plays a cocky kung fu brat whose rich daddy secretly pays his opponents to lose. When a Chinese opera company comes through town, its cross-dressing diva, Leung (Lam Ching-ying), turns out to be a wing chun master who teaches the brawling brat a lesson. Yuen is suddenly desperate to become Leung’s student—and Leung is just as desperate for that not to happen. Lam Ching-ying (Bruce Lee’s stunt double) struts his stuff as the asthmatic Leung, with shaved eyebrows and a beanpole physique. An actual student of wing chun, Lam dispenses elegant beatdowns in fights that turn into musical numbers, as well as wrist-locking, joint-cracking battles fought on narrow gang planks.—<em>Grady Hendrix</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>56.</span> Eastern Condors (1987)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Eastern Condors (1987)" alt="Eastern Condors (1987)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433505/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Eastern Condors (1987)" alt="Eastern Condors (1987)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Sammo Hung</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Joyce Mina Godenzi</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“It’s the Americans’ fault.

It’s 1976 and the Pentagon offers Sammo and 11 other Chinese prisoners a deal: go back to Vietnam and destroy a weapons cache they left behind and be given their freedom. But before boots even hit the ground, the mission goes totally FUBAR—it’s canceled halfway through their parachute drop and a teammate nicknamed “Stammer” screws up his rip-cord countdown. Making matters worse, an elite Vietcong kill squad is on their trail, led by Yuen Wah, a giggling, fan-flicking psychopath who minces into action before ripping out shoulder blades. Brimming over with Russian roulette, tiger cages, child soldiers and phenomenal female-freedom fighters, the climax features eight of Hong Kong’s best martial artists going at it hammer and tongs, as Hung’s prowling camera glides between three simultaneous fights.

Twenty years later, Islamic freedom fighters are kinda-sorta not in favor, so he’s somehow made his way to Thailand where he works a cushy job as a snake handler. Along come some missionaries on a humanitarian journey to Burma, and Rambo—against his better judgment—agrees to lead them through the war-torn country. How do you think that goes? This is the first time Stallone directed one of his own<span> </span><em>Rambo</em><span> </span>scripts, and the film feels infused with his particular brand of cartoonishly monosyllabic machismo, which is perversely a virtue. Think too hard about what happens (every peacenik inevitably turns violent; the villains are child-raping mass murderers) and you’ll see this is as hysterically reactionary as movies get. But Stallone makes his one-sided, pro-interventionist argument with such intoxicating fervor—especially in an astonishingly bloody finale filled with decapitations, bullet-riddled bad guys and a visual equation of Rambo to Jesus Christ—that the fantasy becomes impossible to resist.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/rambo-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>58.</span> Spartacus (1960)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Spartacus (1960)" alt="Spartacus (1960)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718201/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Spartacus (1960)" alt="Spartacus (1960)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Stanley Kubrick</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Jean Simmons</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“A good body with a dull brain is as cheap as life itself.”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>There’s really only one contender here, and it involves the film’s title preceded by the word<span> </span><em>I’m</em>.</p> <p><strong><em>Romanes eunt domus</em></strong><br />Whenever critics try to minimize Stanley Kubrick as a cold, monolithic creator, they always get hung up on<span> </span><em>Spartacus</em>. Here is a film that displays almost none of that master filmmaker’s customary traits: It’s lusty and full-throated, sprawling and sentimental, and as far as it’s possible to get from the clinical, claustrophobic Kubrick of cliché. The director didn’t work on the script (penned by blacklisted leftist Dalton Trumbo), hence all the authority-baiting socialist rhetoric that underpins its mythic account of slave rebellion. Additionally, Kubrick surrendered creative control to producer Kirk Douglas, a move he would never make again. But surely it’s the mark of a great artist to be flexible, and one of the pleasures of<span> </span><em>Spartacus</em>—particularly in its vast, flaming battle scenes—is feeling that pull between the messy grandiosity of an old-fashioned Hollywood epic and the artistic precision that Kubrick strived to bring to the proceedings.

Ironically, they weren’t so interested, since the humor in this caper—where food-truck partners Chan and Yuen tangle with a mysterious missing heiress—is still very much playing to the Hong Kong market. If not exactly smoothly assembled, the result still has a lot of puppyish charm, with the happy-go-lucky twosome at its fleetest, and the usual quotient of oof-tastic pratfalls. It does take too long to get to warp speed, but by the time Chan and Yuen tackle a team of henchmen in the villain’s castle, the film really takes off—especially when Chan lines up against undefeated world karate champ Benny “The Jet” Urquidez in an encounter whose speed of movement beggars belief.

Grander spaghetti Westerns were on the horizon (including Leone’s own poetic<span> </span><em>Once Upon a Time in the West</em>, but arguably, none were as critical as this one), ramping up the brutality that made the genre feel like a subversive comment on an increasingly warlike America. His stars came from Hollywood, but once they arrived in Rome—and, soon after, the Spanish deserts passing for the Old West—they were in a country of one filmmaker’s supreme imagination.

Truth or apocrypha? Many scholars have argued for the latter, but the myth took hold and persists to this day. (Martin Scorsese’s 3-D fantasia<span> </span><em>Hugo</em><span> </span>even re-creates the purported incident.) Once you hear the tale, it’s impossible to divorce the film from it—the fantasy is too attractive, and it perfectly ties into the ethos of the action movie, which thrives on goosing our emotions by making us believe (if primarily on a subconscious level) that we’re truly in the thick of things. All the bullets we’ve dodged, all the cars we’ve crashed, all the trains we’ve ducked away from, they all start here.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/vanishing-point" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>62.</span> Vanishing Point (1971)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Thrillers</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/vanishing-point" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Vanishing Point (1971)" alt="Vanishing Point (1971)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716501/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Vanishing Point (1971)" alt="Vanishing Point (1971)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Richard C.

Impossible? The question doesn’t apply when our antihero’s odyssey is less endurance challenge than existential metaphor for the bleak state of post-’60s America. Sure, there’s something ineffably watchable about these big old gas-guzzlers sliding all over the asphalt as Newman’s Kowalski outmaneuvers police in three states, though director Sarafian’s really interested in the wide, wide shots where the car’s just a speck against a massive landscape. It certainly puts in cosmic context the anti-authoritarian trajectory, allowing an ex–speedway racer to win the hearts of the poor, the black and the hippified as Cleavon Little’s DJ, Super Soul, broadcasts his exploits. A stunningly astringent finale offers no easy solutions for a divided nation. It’s a cool touch—though it would have been cooler had Super Soul put some actual soul music on the mundane rock soundtrack.—<em>Trevor Johnston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/vanishing-point" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-31-4507" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

It’s somehow both leisurely and brutal.—<em>Dave Calhoun</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/from-russia-with-love" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/unleashed" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>64.</span> Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog) (2005)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/unleashed" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog) (2005)" alt="Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog) (2005)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718241/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog) (2005)" alt="Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog) (2005)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Louis Leterrier</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Jet Li, Bob Hoskins, Morgan Freeman</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“Like my saint of a mum used to say, ‘Get ’em young and the possibilities are endless.’”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>Jet Li’s one-punch takedown of an overgrown gimp</p> <p><strong>Jet Li is ready for his close-up now, Mr. DeMille.</strong><br />Considered the best actor among the action-hero aristocracy, Jet Li proves that he’s got the chops to play a street kid brutalized from birth to become a human attack dog “unleashed” on the enemies of his mob-boss master, Bob Hoskins. This story of a man-dog running away to live with a gentle piano tuner (played by Morgan Freeman, no less) and his hottie daughter dances right on the razor’s edge of risible, but the feral thesping of Hoskins and surprising charm of Li keep it anchored. So does the brutal action design by Yuen Woo-ping (<em>The Matrix</em>), full of nipple gnawing, head butting and savage smackdowns in narrow bathrooms. It could all be a metaphor for Li’s career.

Sure, to ’70s audiences raised on the creaky likes of <em>Planet of the Apes</em> and TV’s <em>Star Trek</em>, that may have seemed like a lot, but why do modern movie lovers return so regularly and enthusiastically to this particular film? The answer lies in George Lucas’s mythic storytelling and the narrative momentum he manages to sustain throughout. From <em>Star Wars</em>’ opening blast of laser fire to its climactic fireball, it keeps raising the dramatic stakes, giving the impression of action even when the characters are just sitting on their backsides chatting about exhaust ports. It’s a lesson we hope J.J. Abrams has studied well.—<em>Tom Huddleston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/star-wars" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>66.</span> Pedicab Driver (1989)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Pedicab Driver (1989)" alt="Pedicab Driver (1989)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433513/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Pedicab Driver (1989)" alt="Pedicab Driver (1989)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Sammo Hung</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Sammo Hung, Lau Kar-leung, Billy Chow</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“Fatty!

Although it ended his jaw-dropping string of hits, Pedicab Driver remains a charming throwback to old-school Chinese cinema given an adrenalized action injection. Sammo plays a pedicab-driving slob in 1940s Macau, in love with a woman who can’t see past his belly. The movie is mostly a charming comedy of blue-collar manners until a satanically evil pimp takes a piss on paradise. At which point, Sammo straps on his suspenders of justice and marches off to restore order, bare-knuckle style.

The film revolves around Zatoichi, a “blind masseur” who takes it upon himself to single-handedly protect a village from a greedy gang terrorizing the locals with extortionate protection fees. So far, so<span> </span><em>Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves</em>—but darkness starts slipping in with tales of child prostitution, political assassinations and gory murders. Zatoichi bumbles and stumbles his way through town, slicing up any wrongdoers with a flick of his hidden<span> </span><em>katana</em>, before eventually leaving a pile of dismembered yakuza bleeding on the ground in a brilliantly graceful final fight.

So he took a different strategy in the sequel: a more developed procedural plot involving a bomber at large, and a fuller role for concerned girlfriend Maggie Cheung. Unfortunately, all this proves slightly stodgy in practice, rendering the thrills on display somewhat subdued. It’s a shame, really, since taken on its own terms, the action’s very much prime Jackie—not least a couple of dazzlingly fleet fight scenes, plus the addition of a firework-throwing deaf-mute villain. As ever with Chan, the lure here is absolutely no special-effects fakery, and end-credits outtakes reveal the physical toll incurred, not least for costar Cheung, who almost had her scalp ripped off when a stunt went wrong.—<em>Trevor Johnston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

But sandwiched in the middle came this near-flawless conspiracy thriller, featuring the greatest screen villain since Darth Vader drew his last rattling breath. The announcement of tween-friendly pretty boy Heath Ledger’s casting as the Joker was the cause of huge controversy and debate in the nerdosphere, but the results speak for themselves: This is a hurricane of a performance, as unnerving as it is beautiful to watch—the emergence of a towering talent. Rather than be hemmed in by Nolan’s Swiss-watch directing style, Ledger subverts it at every turn, railing against the prison of action-movie precision in the same way his unhinged character batters at the walls of moral conformity.

The punches land hard in and out of the ring—LaMotta’s confrontations with his long-suffering wife (Cathy Moriarty) and loyal-to-a-fault brother (Joe Pesci) often seem bloodier than any of the astonishingly visceral slugfests. It’s also a deeply spiritual film, in no small part due to De Niro’s monastic commitment to the role. His much publicized regimen—training with LaMotta himself to get into tip-top fighting condition, then plumping himself up for the final scenes via a four-month eating binge—is the ultimate in actorly sacrifice.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/raging-bull-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

But the truth is, Clint had already said everything he needed to say about the fascist appeal of vigilante crime-fighting with this one, arguably his most iconic screen role. Here is the template for every subsequent hard-bitten antihero, Batman included, the major difference being that instead of a millionaire playboy lurking in his mansion, Harry Callahan was blue-collar to his core: a crumpled flatfoot living in a two-room walk-up and existing entirely on a diet of whiskey, cigarettes and slinky bebop jazz. He even had his own Joker to contend with, Andrew Robinson’s giggling Scorpio killer (based on San Francisco’s real-life Zodiac case), whose megalomaniacal schemes laid the groundwork for legions of unhinged comic-book villains to come.

There is no clear distinction between heroism and villainy; Lean uses the massive CinemaScope canvas to keep us at an emotional remove from the characters so they seem like checkerboard pieces moving toward a fixed, destructive point.</p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/the-bridge-on-the-river-kwai-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/hero-3" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>76.</span> Hero (2002)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Action and adventure</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/hero-3" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Hero (2002)" alt="Hero (2002)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/105433508/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Hero (2002)" alt="Hero (2002)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Zhang Yimou</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“Today you will learn the essence of your culture.”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>Jet and Tony walk on water in an aerial duel over a picturesque lake.</p> <p><strong>The official version</strong></p> <p>After <em>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon</em> (see No. 36), it was only a matter of time before a Chinese filmmaker made it his mission to top Taiwanese-born Ang Lee’s martial-arts game changer.

(Not for nothing has Quentin Tarantino called<span> </span><em>Supercop</em>’s acts of daredevilry “the greatest stunts ever filmed in any movie, ever.”) The generic plot is just there to get things in motion: a fearless cop, a drug lord, a hapless girlfriend, a much-tougher female sidekick. But once the chase sequences kick in, there’s no going back to what passes for action in Hollywood; this is a movie that raises the stakes to an impossible standard. Chan scrambles up walls, stumbles down hillsides and flings himself onto a helicopter’s trailing rope ladder for the ride of his life. Just as impressively, Michelle Yeoh does a running leap onto a motorbike and burns her way through traffic in hot pursuit, eventually racing alongside a train and Evel Knieveling on top.

Soon, though, Bond is launching himself out of trouble with the help of a jet pack and we’re plunged into the first of several underwater scenes, as SPECTRE hides some stolen nuclear missiles in the seas off the Bahamas. These subaquatic adventures are the film’s trademark, and <em>Thunderball</em> climaxes with Bond in a perilous battle with a couple of stooges in the tropical deep. The film’s release continued to prove Bond’s worth at the box office, although there were grumbles about both the long underwater scenes (‘Look! We can film underwater! Look!’) and the two-hour-plus running time – the latter becoming a tradition that most Bond films continue to this day.—<em>Dave Calhoun</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

The result isn’t really for kids (unless they have a major bloodthirsty streak), but for the rest of us, it remains a gruesome guilty pleasure.—<em>Tom Huddleston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/indiana-jones-and-the-temple-of-doom" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/breakdown" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>82.</span> Breakdown (1997)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Thrillers</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/breakdown" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Breakdown (1997)" alt="Breakdown (1997)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101716651/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Breakdown (1997)" alt="Breakdown (1997)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Jonathan Mostow</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Kurt Russell, J.T.

Polo-shirt–clad nice guy Jeff Taylor (Kurt Russell) experiences just that after his Jeep breaks down in the desert and his spouse (Kathleen Quinlan) vanishes with too-eager-to-assist trucker “Red” Barr (J.T. Walsh). Taylor’s suspicions that something nefarious is up prove true when Barr and his crew track him down and demand a hefty payoff. But the tables quickly turn. Boasting some of the best vehicular carnage since Steven Spielberg’s <em>Duel</em> (the literally cliff-hanging finale will have your heart in your throat), <em>Breakdown</em> also features a quintessential everyman performance from Russell (an all-American counterpoint to his eye-patch-sporting loner Snake Plissken from <em>Escape from New York</em>) and a truly chilling one from the late, great Walsh, who gives new meaning to the term “quiet menace.”—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/breakdown" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-41-1345" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

Was Akira Kurosawa was the most important director of Westerns to never actually make a Western? His 1961<span> </span><em>Yojimbo</em><span> </span>would go on to directly inspire Sergio Leone’s<span> </span><em>A Fistful of Dollars</em><span> </span>(and launch Clint Eastwood’s entire movie career). Meanwhile, Kurosawa’s<span> </span><em>Seven Samurai</em>, an instant classic upon its 1954 release, was quickly the subject of a Hollywood remake—and the result was this rousing horse opera, loaded with star appeal and panache. A Mexican farming town suffers regular fleecing of its crop by evil bandito Calvera (Eli Wallach, persuasive despite being a Jewish actor from Brooklyn). Enter seven men, hired by the desperate community to make their last stand.

Miami, he says to his best bud Manny (Steven Bauer), is “like a great big pussy just waiting to get fucked.” But Tony wants the world, and director Brian De Palma and screenwriter Oliver Stone are happy to give it to him (for a price) in their unapologetically violent remake of Howard Hawks’s 1932 crime film. In turn, the ’83 <em>Scarface</em> became an iconic touchstone for hip-hop culture excess. Everything is as over-the-top as the foot-high mound of cocaine that a never-crazier Pacino dips his head into. De Palma orchestrates all the carnage like a master composer: a tense, chain-saw-wielding set piece in a bathroom; a botched assassination in a nightclub; and an absolutely certifiable climax in which Tony takes on a gaggle of hit men with a grenade launcher.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/scarface-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link -

But you don’t cast Michelle Yeoh if you don’t also intend for it to kick ass. And that it does, albeit strangely: as mentioned above, this is a movie whose most iconic moment involves Yeoh – mild-mannered immigrant laundromat owner turned interdimensional martial arts avenger – tearing up a tax office with a googly eye pressed to her forehead. There are also fights involving fanny packs. And dildos. And a butt plug. It’s wilfully weird and silly, sure, but the scenes are executed with as much breathless energy as anything Yeoh did back in Hong Kong. They’ll still leave your head-spinning – and your own eyes looking a bit googly.</span></p></div></div></div><section class="_container_1n9ei_1"><div class="_content_1n9ei_5"><div class="_profileHeadShotContainer_1ougx_55"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/matthew-singer" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10"><div class="_imageWrap_1ougx_47"><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/105942110/170/170/image.jpg" alt="Matthew Singer" class="lazyload"/></div></a></address></div><div class="_contentDetails_1n9ei_44"><span class="_authorName_1n9ei_31"><address class="_address_hj2la_1"><a href="https://www.timeout.com/profile/matthew-singer" class="_profileCta_hj2la_10">Matthew Singer</a></address></span> <span class="_authorJobTitle_1n9ei_32">Film writer and editor</span></div></div></section><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-2022" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-43-862" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

After a crime boss survives a hit, he pays the five baddest henchmen around town to form a team to protect him and find the would-be killer—a plot so ordinary it’s hardly worth spending time on. So To doesn’t bother. Rather, he lays out a fresco of paranoia as the gun-wielding quintet keep up their individual and collective guard while waiting for the next ambush. And when the action does come, To applies the same Melville-meets-Antonioni mood of studied anomie to the exchanges of fire, turning anticipated set-piece shoot-outs into deconstructed fragments of grace and danger. It’s an action movie about action movies, and all the more fascinating for it.—<em>Trevor Johnston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="http://graffiti.private.timeout.com/public/v1/sites/uk-worldwide/films/241833?locale=en-GB" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - external","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>88.</span> Machete (2010)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="Machete (2010)" alt="Machete (2010)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718273/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="Machete (2010)" alt="Machete (2010)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Directors:<span> </span></strong>Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis</p> <p><strong>Cast:<span> </span></strong>Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba</p> <p><strong>Best quote:<span> </span></strong>“Why do I want to be a real person when I’m already a myth?”</p> <p><strong>The killer scene: </strong>Machete bolts a machine gun to the front of his chopper before laying waste to a bunch of scumbags.</p> <p><strong>Lifehacks</strong><br />The fake<span> </span><em>Machete</em><span> </span>trailer was a rousing start to the Robert Rodriguez—Quentin Tarantino<span> </span><em>Grindhouse</em><span> </span>project, giving us the glorious sight of menacing character actor Danny Trejo upgraded to leading-man status as the titular ass-kicking vigilante.

If it had fallen flat, the multiplex – and really, mainstream entertainment in general – would have looked very different over the past decade. Begrudging credit due, then, to writer-director Joss Whedon: he may have later been </span><a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/joss-whedon-allegations.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">outed as a supervillain of sorts</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, but he delivered here. Given everything that’s happened in the MCU since, the plotting matters very little now, but Whedon seemed to realise that even then, and instead gives the fanboys everything they could possibly want: snappy, wisecracking dialogue; big, explosive, heart-racing action sequences; and plenty of ‘holy crap, this is actually happening!’ moments. Most notably the classic wrap-around shot showing the gang fully assembled for the first time. It established the template for every major superhero flick that followed.

But among action cognoscenti,<span> </span><em>Armour of God</em><span> </span>is known for one thing, a terrible mishap that nearly killed its star. Skipping from a building’s ledge onto a nearby tree, Chan snapped the branch and fell 15 feet, landing on his head and cracking his skull. (In true Chan style, you can see the actual accident in the end-credit outtakes, a gimmick he picked up from<em><span> </span>The Cannonball Run</em>.) Miraculously, Chan survived, even though he’s still got a hole in his head.

Star Russell Crowe pounded hard on the screenwriters for revisions; his vengeful performance as Maximus, the officer turned slave turned inspiration to hoi polloi, cemented his stardom as a thinking man’s action hero, long before any phones were flung. Across the moral divide, Joaquin Phoenix offered up the first real hint of his mastery as the vicious Commodus, power-mad and cackling his way to an imperious thumbs-up. But most of all, director Ridley Scott rose to the occasion, reminding us of the grandeur he hadn’t attained since <em>Blade Runner</em>. (Those digital tigers and flaming arrows didn’t hurt.) The so-called “<em>Gladiator</em> effect” turned audiences onto Roman history in droves, but mainly it fired up their bloodlust, just like an action classic should.—<em>Joshua Rothkopf</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/gladiator" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><article class="tile _article_1etwt_1" data-testid="tile-zone-large-list_testID"><div class="articleContent _articleContent_1etwt_230"><div class="_title_1etwt_9 _titleNoCredit_1etwt_243"><a href="/movies/war-2" class="" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><h3 class="_h3_137z8_1" data-testid="tile-title_testID"><span>94.</span> War (2007)</h3></a></div><div class="_tileTags_1etwt_52"><section class="_tags_1ckj1_17" data-testid="tags_testID"><ul class="_tagsList_1ckj1_17"><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Film</span></li><li class="_tag_1ckj1_17 _tagText_1ckj1_32"><span class="_text_1ckj1_49">Action and adventure</span></li></ul></section></div><div class="_imageContainer_1etwt_48"><a href="/movies/war-2" class="tileImageLink" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"category":"GP Engagement","label":"in content","action":"link - internal"}}" data-testid="tile-link_testID"><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapDesktop_1etwt_99"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/400/225/image.webp 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/750/422/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1024/576/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1372/772/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1536/864/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1920/1080/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="422"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/750/422/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/400/225/image.jpg 400w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/750/422/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1024/576/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1372/772/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1536/864/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1920/1080/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-16-9" title="War (2007)" alt="War (2007)" width="750" height="422" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="_imageWrap_1etwt_95 _imageWrapMobile_1etwt_209"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/380/285/image.webp 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/750/562/image.webp 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1024/768/image.webp 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1372/1029/image.webp 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1536/1152/image.webp 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1920/1440/image.webp 1920w" width="750" height="562"/><img src="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/750/562/image.jpg" srcSet="https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/380/285/image.jpg 380w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/750/562/image.jpg 750w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1024/768/image.jpg 1024w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1372/1029/image.jpg 1372w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1536/1152/image.jpg 1536w,https://media.timeout.com/images/101718283/1920/1440/image.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto" class="_image_1etwt_48 aspect-ratio-4-3" title="War (2007)" alt="War (2007)" width="750" height="562" data-testid="responsive-image_testID" loading="lazy"/></picture></div></a></div><div class="_summaryContainer_1etwt_365"><div class="_summary_1etwt_22"><div class="_p_ej8vw_1" data-testid="summary_testID"><meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><strong>Director:<span> </span></strong>Philip G.

Atwell’s seriously entertaining meld of the cop movie and the martial-arts drama. The log line is simple enough: FBI agent John Crawford (Jason Statham) is out for revenge against the infamous assassin known only as Rogue (Jet Li), who killed his partner many years before. But all is not as it seems, and the narrative surprises keep coming with the same fast-and-furious momentum with which Lee and Statham take down anyone in their way. It’s always a pleasure to watch the granite-faced Statham plow through a series of interchangeable henchmen, though he slowly becomes second fiddle to the ever-limber Li, for reasons we wouldn’t dream of spoiling. The action scenes—shot by<span> </span><em>Taken</em><span> </span>helmer Pierre Morel and dreamt up by ace choreographer Corey Yuen—are a consistent delight, especially Rogue’s epic sword fight in a yakuza-owned auto shop, during which he reduces anything made of plateglass (and there’s a lot of it) to rubble.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/war-2" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-47-7303" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

Daigoro chooses the sword and so Ogami pushes him around Japan in a heavily armed baby carriage, trying to clear the family name. Foreheads are sliced open, breasts are sliced open, faces are sliced open, walls gush blood, stomachs gush blood, and chests spray blood with the force of a fire hose. But that’s the point: The world is a nightmare of violence and all we can do is try to protect our children from it. We usually fail.

It’s an adaptation of the iconic 1980s series on which Mann served as executive producer, and strikes off in boldly different ways from the Armani blazers and eye-searing pastels of its predecessor. Photographed on pore-enhancing digital cameras that lend a strikingly antiseptic sheen to daylight scenes and a gorgeously pixelated humidity to night shots, the film follows Crockett and Tubbs as they attempt to infiltrate the empire of South American drug lord Montoya (Luis Tosar). Crockett seduces the bad guy’s moll, Isabella (a shrewd and sensuous Gong Li), and both cops draw the ire of Montoya’s second-in-command (John Ortiz). Mann certainly puts Crockett and Tubbs through their paces: Best in show is a close-quarters standoff between the duo and some white-supremacist underlings in a mobile home, culminating in one of the most cathartic gunshots in cinema history.—<em>Keith Uhlich</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="/movies/miami-vice-1" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - internal","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-49-992" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

Once every decade, China’s best martial artists take on Japan’s to see which country will rule the martial-arts world. This year, two of the challengers discover a conspiracy to rig the competition and also…ninjas! Kite-riding ninjas, giant ninjas made up of tiny ninjas, burrowing ninjas, red-wigged teleporting demon ninjas, sword-pogo ninjas, ninjas that jump out of other ninjas when they get split in half. Psychedelic visions torn straight out of Ching’s subconscious and dripping with id juice. No death is final until a head is severed, then flies through the air, gets impaled on a tree branch, utters a threat (“You can’t kill us all!”) and explodes.—<em>Grady Hendrix</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div class="_cta_1etwt_108 _viewMoreCta_1etwt_129"><a class="_secondary_ldklf_23" href="http://graffiti.private.timeout.com/public/v1/sites/uk-worldwide/films/15681?locale=en-GB" target="_self" rel="" data-data-layer="{"triggerOn":0,"payload":{"action":"link - external","category":"GP Engagement","label":"read more button"}}" data-testid="view-more-cta_testID"><span class="_textContent_ldklf_71">Read more</span></a></div></div></div></article><div class="_adsInline_w0pgc_6"><div data-testid="inline-generated-ad_testID" class="_inlineAdWrapper_iuv2f_65"><div class="_inlineAdContainer_iuv2f_60"><span class="caps xs-block xs-text-10 xs-mb2 xs-text-center _inlineAdHeader_iuv2f_75">Advertising</span><div class="_inlineAd_iuv2f_60"><div id="ad-list-50-388" class="_ad_iuv2f_1 _ad-list_iuv2f_54 " data-testid="ad_testID"><script> window.rawSlots = window.rawSlots || [];

That title, by the way, refers partly to the concept of fate—the unknowable, magical element that no human being can control, and which inevitably gets us in the end—and partly to the name scrawled on the side of one of two trucks tasked with shipping a load of dynamite through the Amazon jungle to the site of a raging oil fire. Like the original, this isn’t so much a pedal-to-the-metal thrill ride and more a master class in slow, mounting tension: Gears grind, wheels spin, brakes fail, bridges collapse, tropical rain thunders, and the drivers (and their incendiary cargo) sweat, quiver and threaten to explode at any minute.—<em>Tom Huddleston</em></p></div></div></div><div class="_ctaButtons_1etwt_108"><div
