Action-Packed Films

Hey all,

I'm looking for a list of action packed films. The difference is that I'm not looking for movies like Die Hard, or even The Raid 2, which have plenty of action. Instead, I am looking for a list of movies like this one, where the action scenes at least equal or even outweigh the runtime of non-action sequences.

I would put this on the list, though it is close. Others I would include are Black Hawk Down, the Siege of Firebase Gloria. Yes, war films count here. So please post some of the best movies you've seen where the actual fighting, whatever the kind, packs the movie!

Cheers mate!

Merantau is definitely worth looking at; it's also done by Gareth.

Undisputed 2 is also pretty good; Michael Jai White is a total badass IMO.

Other than that, hm... The Ong Bak series, Sha Po Lang, and Flashpoint would all probably be worth checking out.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'm terrible at looking back at my posts, so sorry for being so silent. I've seen / own almost all of the recommendations, other than Sha Po Lang. I'll have to look that one up.

Any others?

Cheers mate!

Zulu...it takes a bit to get to the action, but once it starts it doesn't let up.

I've seen Zulu. Good pick! I really enjoyed it. I will advance Dredd. I'd say it fits the bill pretty well.

Cheers mate!

Any movie starring Donnie Yen (check out Special ID), Tony Jaa (check out Skin trade or The Protector) and obviously any Jackie Chan movie (excluding Rush Hour) or Bruce Lee movie!
