While you won't see many of the epic action movies winning academy awards, I believe they still hold a rightful purpose when it comes to film making. Arnie, Stallone, Seagal and Van Dame pathed the way for the edge of your seat and entertaining action movies; and while action movies have changed their style I believe this only helps to keep action movies fresh and enjoyable.
As a tribute to my passion for this movie genre I have collected some quotes from the movies I consider to be the all time best action movies. Lets see how well you know your action movies by working out the quote from the movie I have in mind....
1) Billy: I'm scared Poncho. Poncho: Bulls---. You ain't afraid of no man. Billy: There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die
2) Tweety Bird - Any sign of Wile E. Coyote? -William Strannix - No. Meet at the bird cage as planned, Roadrunner, out! Krill You're the roadrunner? - William Strannix - Yeah, never been caught. Mee-meep.
3) The guy is a used car salesman! This just keeps getting better and better! I'm sorry, Harry, I know this is hard for you. But you gotta admit if this was me you'd be laughing your a-- off!
4) Pai Mei taught you the five point palm-exploding heart technique?
5) She was my wife. We married in secret because I would not share her with an English lord. They killed her to get to me. I've never spoken of it, I don't know why I tell you now, except... I see her strength in you. One day, you'll be a queen. And you must open your eyes. You tell your king that (main characters name) will not be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live.
6) (Doctor) - You broke my arm! - (Mental patient) - There's 215 bones in the human body. That's one.
7) You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well (main characters name) was the best.
8) You think I wouldn't have been prepared? Two years I spent setting up that elevator job, two years I invested in it. You couldn't understand the kind of commitment that I have. You ruined a man's life's work and you think you can walk away? You got blinders on to the world! But I got your attention now, didn't I Jack?
9) TV Reporter - Meanwhile, mystery surrounds the fate of David Webb, also known as (main characters name), the source behind the exposure of the Blackbriar program. It's been reported that Webb was shot and fell from a Manhattan rooftop into the East River ten stories below. However, after a three day search, Webb's body has yet to be found.
10) Ooooh, I'm very sorry Hans. I didn't get that message. Maybe you should've put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be a little lonely, so I wanted to give you a call.
