Oh, we're talking samurai flicks now? Let me throw Hanzo the Razor out there- 3 movies with lots of violence, booby traps, fuzz tone guitar, some goofy dreamlike cinematography, and disturbing interrogation techniques.

Close, I can't remember his name off the top of my head but he probably played Zatoichi in any of the movies you've seen (except the Takeshi Kitano version)

YOLOsubmarine posted:Project A has an homage to Keaton (or perhaps Harold Lloyd) hanging from the clock tower, except on Project A Chan actually falls 60 feet through several awnings before landing in his head. More insane is when you watch the credits and see he did it 3 times! I have recommended it in the Kung Fu movies thread before, so here's my recommendation to watch Shanghai Express/Millionaire's Express. Absolutely packed full of stars (even Cynthia Rothrock gets a good fight scene) and stunts

She was in low budget American action films, and that was the problem. Awful choreography, over serious plots, a dull, cheap looking world of mediocrity. It's why you can't go back to watching Chuck Norris movies the same after seeing, say, Police Story.

Wheat Loaf posted:Is that one worth watching as a distraction for an hour and a half? I've only heard about it in the context of "Tarantino wannabe" movies. It's alright. McTeer's character is fun, Paz Vega looks nice, but it also has D.L. Hughley as a serious negative for me. I'd put it about on a level with Shoot Em Up, but it doesn't feature a lactating Monica Bellucci.

Glad somebody up thread recommended the Musketeer, I loved it when it was released and was sad it didn't get sequels I'd also add the fencing scene in the Princess Bride, it's better than it should be Watched Blade of the Immortal the other day and I loved it

Counterpoint: my ex got motion sickness from the first Bourne movie, and I didn't mind walking out at all. Every shot was either shaky can or two heads filling the entire screen, except for the cutaways to the JLaw of that moment sitting in a telephone switching room.

Fart City posted:I know it’s like beating a dead horse this point, but the Academy has repeatedly cemented themselves as being grossly out of touch with what constitutes important cinema. Neither Hitchcock or Kubrick got best director. Samuel L. Jackson’s performance in Pulp Fiction lost to Martin Landau in Ed Wood. The list goes on and on. I don't think Samuel l Jackson's performance needing an Oscar is really the hill you want to die on

Man, if Proud Mary had half the style of its marketing materials it would've been great. Instead it's about as by-the-numbers as it gets and I think every action beat was in the trailer.

The Jackal was alright, not exactly action packed. I love the Russian girl and probably my favorite part is how he teaches people not to mess with his minivan. Also has a cameo by Mathilda Mae, who you may recall as the main attraction in space vampire movie Lifeforce. I personally really like Mercury Rising- also more of a thriller than an action movie, with a shady Alec Baldwin and a 90s magic autistic kid. I'm always gonna recommend 16 Blocks, which is pretty similar but has great performances by Willis, Mos Def, and David Morse (but he's always great).

I wanna reiterate how much I loved Willis's performance in 16 Blocks. He makes an awesome turn away from a guy sleepwalking through his day, running out the string on his job to retirement- he really sells the "I'm getting too old for this" bit

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I thought it looked cool, but very derivative of the Continental scenes in John Wick, which are probably my favorite aspects of those movies. Had a bit of an Assault on Precinct 13 vibe too, which I appreciate, and more than a dash of Marvel Comics' Night Nurse, who patches up injured heroes in a secret underground hospital. Unless reviews are absolutely awful, I'll make it a point to see it in the theater. If people I trust tell me not to bother, it's a rental for sure. Isn't it in John Wick's universe? I thought that feeling was intentional

I just watched Skyscraper and it ends with the bad guy getting blown up. I guess I missed something in the movie, did they explain why there is zero evidence of any fire or emergency services outside of the building's automated systems? You don't see a single fireman in the whole show.

I thought Polar sucked, but Mikkelsen was alright in his avenging angel mode- the whole thing felt like one of those crappy post-Tarantino edgelord movies from the 90's with the color saturation turned up to 11 I did watch the Girl In the Spider's Web over the weekend. It bored me quite a bit, but thesniper scenes were great.
