Recommendations for Action Thrillers and Over the Top Action Flicks

[Watershipdownisgood]

So I love B action movies, and action thrillers, but there’s still a number of them I haven’t seen yet, but I have seen a lot of the big ones. I’m not counting horror thrillers as they’re a bit different from action thrillers. I’m also including action comedies as they fit pretty well with the other two genres.

Anything with this Legend in

[BudBaxter]

Stone Cold (1991) & Judgment Night (1993) are both criminally underrated.

[murphywmm]

Any of the Death Wish sequels should be right up your alley.

Wow I completely forgot about Road House I really need to pick it up during the next Black Friday sale along with Commando, Kickboxer, and No Retreat No Surrender. I recently rewatched Kickboxer on Blu-Ray this year, and will be pre-ordering the 4K immediately. I’ve seen some of Last Action Hero it just has been years since I last watched it might need to pick it up this year. So it’s way overdue for a rewatch.

[Boccaccio]

Enemy Territory (1987)
Bad Boys (1983)
48 Hrs. (1982)
Dobermann (1997)
Executive Decision (1996)
Runaway Train (1985)
Trespass (1992)
New Jack City (1991)

[Nguss]

The Stabilizer 1986
(Not super well known but its great).

Deadly Prey

VFW (has Assault on Precinct 13 vibes) .

Strike Commando

There are some B movies that are simply a cut above the rest. Be it action, stunts or over the top performances, they are far better than any AAA action movies you will see nowadays.




Here's a great shot from Ricochet with Denzel literally giving Tom Cruise a run for his money.

Mindhunters Trailer [2004] - YouTube

This movie is Action Triler and also Over the Top Action Flick and that's why I'm sure you'll like it.

[CreasyBear]

I'm a sucker for Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. Yes, it's shit. Yes, Seagal is shit. But damn it that movie is hopelessly entertaining.

[John1701D]

This one was a complete blast from start to finish
