Greatest 90s action star

[ga_ninja]

Damn there's so many I'ma go with Jean Claude, he was even in street fighter playing Captain Gile. Bloodsport is still the shit, hell he even co starred with Dennis Rodman. Let's not forget Universal Soldier lol well that series was shit but still

Always a fan of my man JCVD

Only one really legit choice

 

[Philo-Publius]

Although his best film was in the 80's, he still gets my vote...

Van Damme was always the one who was most important to me personally. He was a HUGE inspiration to me back in the day.

Objectively it was Arnold.

It's amazing to me every time I'm reminded that Seagal wasn't always fat.

Total Recall
Kindergarten Cop
Judgment Day
Last Action Hero (I loved this one too s)
True Lies
Eraser

dude might have a pt w/ Nic Cage, certainly has the greatest collection of action films from the 90s, other than maybe Arnold (based off Total Recall, T2, and True Lies)

I'm going w/ JCVD: Lionheart, Universal Soldier, Timecop, Hard Target, Sudden Death is mad underrated, etc...

shoutout (RIP) to Brandon Lee for the Crow and Rapidfire alone

 

[PolishHeadlock]

Bruce Willis-
5th Element
Armageddon
Mercury Rising
The Jackal
Last Man Standing
Die Hard with a Vengence (The best of the Die Hards)
Striking Distance
The Last Boy Scout
Die Hard 2

Might have to give the 90s nod to Bruno

Cage had a solid run but he didn't go the Action route until 96 but when he jumped on board he went hard.

Well he did Total Recall, Terminator 2 and True Lies in the 90s. And Kindergarten Cop was an action-comedy, so if you want to count that one it was also in the 90s.

Last Action Hero falls in there as well, and while I don't think it's as good as any of the above, it's still a fun movie.

Even though I'm a big Van Damme fan, I don't really care for most of his 90s films. Double Impact is excellent, but a lot of his other big movies of the decade--Universal Soldier, Hard Target, Timecop--just didn't really land with me.

Stallone had some good stuff, but the only one that really rivals Arnold's best films is Demolition Man.

Who else is there? Bruce Willis? Nic Cage? Wesley Snipes?

Of that group, I dunno, Willis might deserve it but Cage delivered two of my favorite action films of all time in The Rock and Face/Off. But regardless, I still give it to Arnold.

Now, if the question is who is the best action star of the LATE 90s, then it's definitely either Willis or Cage.

people hate on last man standing for being a remake (of a remake), but that movie is extremely savage

bought a Willis 4 pack bluray specifically b/c it had that movie and Last Boy Scout

And his role as the villain in The Jackal was fucking awesome "You can't protect your women..."

 

[HunterSdVa29]

Wesley snipes did do Blade, Passenger 57, Demolition Man, US Marshalls, Money Train, Rising Sun, New Jack City, and The Fan

he lowkey killed it in the 90s
