Underrated 90s action flicks.....

[blitzk]

I really liked this Action-Comedy flick back then.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

GOAT

Arguably one of the best one-liners to come out of the 90's:

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

I watched the shit outta these as a kid

I discovered this way afterwards but it became one of my fav Hong Kong action flicks

Huge fan of both Daylight and Broken Arrow

That is so gloriously 90's

 

[El Moose]

Hollow Point

 

[jefferz]

Some movies mentioned i agree, but god damn, some of you are mentioning some god awful shit.

Congo? And did i see fucking batman and robin in here?! No, they are rated where they should be, next to the current shit im putting in my toilet.

Sup bro

 

[Satsui Ryu]

May be more of a thriller than action, but The Game with Michael Douglas is a good movie that does not get talked about much.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Arguably one of the best one-liners to come out of the 90's:

Taylor Negron with a switchblade? Crazy times.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Huge fan of both Daylight and Broken Arrow

That is so gloriously 90's

Oh, John Woo...

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Broken Arrow was one of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen. So bad its not even ironically good.

Batman and Robin is atrocious. I don't remember just how bad Congo was, but I know it must have been real bad.

This was real good. Definitely had a Hitchcockian vibe going early with the disappearance of the wife. JT Walsh also was one of the best character actors out there and killed it in this movie. One of those actors who sadly died way too young.

street fighter (1994) has 3.8/10 on IMDB and 15% on RT and critics/bloggers always reference it as a garbage movie....

I DONT GIVE A FUCK, I LOVED THAT MOVIE

I like when bison was ice cold and said "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday." that was savage as fuck

then when van damme blocked bison's punch and flexed his USA tat before fucking him up, that shit was so dope. you knew you were about to see some ass kicking

It's bad but good bad. Raul Julia and JCVD make a go of it and a lot of the actors seem like they're having fun.

The Negotiator epitomizes this thread.

When I saw that movie when I was a kid I hated it lol. I just compared it to the animated movie which followed the game's storyline and had awesome fight scenes. When I watched it as an adult I suddenly realized its brilliance! It's so campy and doesn't take itself seriously at all. Zangief's "QUICK!! CHANGE ZE CHANNEL!!!" always makes me crack up.



I'll have to nominate Predator 2 and Robocop 2 as underrated and mostly forgotten about 90's action movies. Neither were as good as the originals, but both had their fun moments. Predator 2 introduced the bad ass spear and discus weapons, and it has Gary Busey. Robocop 2 has that hilarious part where he is reprogrammed to be more 'family friendly' and it totally fucks him up. The end fight scene is pretty impressive too considering they were using miniatures and stop-motion animation.

Came here to say this. It's JVCDs most underrated film. Completely overshadowed by Bloodsport and Kickboxer, even Universal Soldier, in the Van Damme canon. But Lionheart---it very well may just be his greatest film.

Banana way!

Only 90s martial arts movie fans know that Mazda stole their "zoom zoom" slogan from this movie. And this 90s martial arts in its finest hour!
