Helldriver (2010)

Do you like zombies, jaunty tunes and that special brand of gory Japanese madness? If so, strap in, turn off the part of your brain that annoys you when something makes no sense, and um, helldrive, in Helldriver.
Steele Justice (1987)

Steele Justice (1987)

In-between Karate Kids, Hollywood sought fit to grant Martin Kove a leading role in an action film. Does Kove have the charisma to pull off a starring role? Spoiler alert: no.
Heroes Three - Spanish poster

Heroes Three – Spanish poster

Mid-punch action! Beams of light! Furious faces! Weapons! I highly recommend clicking through to see a blown up version of this out of control poster for Heroes Three!
Watermelon massacre

Watermelon massacre

If Mr. Majestyk taught me anything it is do not... I repeat... do not fuck with Charles Bronson's watermelons.
Steven Seagal is bad at laughing but loves his guns

Steven Seagal is bad at laughing but loves his guns

While Seagal is not all that great at laughing, he knows and loves his guns. He proves this by delivering a rambling, clearly adlibbed monologue filled with fun facts and gun-praise to a few bemused cronies.
Final Score (1986)

Final Score (1986)

Final Score is a film on a mission. A mission to deliver more punches, kicks, broken bones, dead stuntmen and exploding houses than any other movie, and I think it might just have succeeded.

Cynthia Rothrock hates kissy-fingers

"Paybacks are a bitch, aren't they, sugar?" Yes. Especially when they involve games of kissy-fingers.
Steven Seagal doesn't know how or when to laugh

Steven Seagal doesn’t know how or when to laugh

Steven Seagal has a famously ridiculous run. His flailing arms and wobbly hands are a wonder to watch. But there's other things Seagal can't do... like laughing properly.
Seagal destroys a restaurant

Seagal destroys a restaurant

In this infamous sequence from The Glimmer Man, Seagal annihilates a restaurant, its occupants and a cannoli, even going as far to make a concluding smarmy gag about his handiwork to what must have been a very confused person on the other end of the phone.
Excessive Force (1993)

Excessive Force (1993)

It's cheesy in the right spots and brutal when it needs to be. If you want to take a break from Seagal and Van Damme but still have a hankering for 90s action, Excessive Force is a worthwhile sidestep.
How to open a movie according to Traxx

How to open a movie according to Traxx

The opening of any film is important. It introduces important characters, establishes the story's world and its rules, and, perhaps most importantly, sets the film's tone. I'd be hard pressed to name film that meets that criteria better than Traxx.
Street Fighter, Hong Kong style

Street Fighter, Hong Kong style

In this post are two clips that heinously misrepresent the vast majority of Future Cops. They are action-packed, shot rather well, and most likely not directed by Wong Jing.
