Yay! Mad Max was in my top 10. Loved it even more when I discovered that the stunt work was home brewed by gear heads who thought it would be cool to do some insane ballistic shit with cars.

munich's more of an action movie than Jaws! i wish i voted for that actually
― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:08 (twelve years ago) link
There's an incredible bit on the Mad Max DVD commentary where you see a shot of a bike's speedometer at 100 or something, and they note that there was actually a cameraman hanging on the back of the rider, at that speed, shooting over the rider's shoulder!

Tt is making MM appeal to me far far more. I'll try it again at some point for sure, but maybe somewhere that I can also smoke at the same time, that would be helpful.

the stuntwork in mad max is SO crazy
a stuntman broke his neck and died in a scene. Mad Max was my no. 1. looooove it.
PS Demolition Man?? Really?? worst part has to be the jarring Dennis Leary being Dennis Leary rant near the end.

The Fugitive cos he's all sad about his wife n stuff and the police aren't very nice to him.

― strgn
the fugitive is not okay, it has Tommy Lee Jones in it.

I remember really loving "The Fugitive" but its been a long time so I didnt vote for it.

andrew davis 85-93 is a pretty good run of action movies

not you dan
i remember thinking US marshals wasnt bad? definitely no fugitive tho

God someone wake me up when The Transporter places.
― one little aioli (Laurel), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i havent seen it in a long time, but i remember it p much perfectly. my recollection is that it pretty snugly fits the mold of 90s action-thriller, but is really well done within those constraints. and TLJ owns in it
― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
well there was literally no fugitive in that movie iirc
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
re: fugitive
yeah the fugitive is okay but i never thought it was great.
oh and don't blame me for voting for jaws. blame whoever nominated it on the ballot thread. i never would have thought of it either for this poll.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
Fugitive is such a well made movie. What happened to Andrew Davis? Chain Reaction?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
(I hope Chain Reaction does not make it)
damn, forgot to vote for Crank
― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
us marshals and the art of war is a pretty decent double bill iirc
― beware of greek bearer bonds (darraghmac), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
btw I loved both The Fugitive and US Marshalls

munich's a really accomplished thriller underneath all the ~grownup stuff~!
― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
i think this lil "speech" is delivered just as perfectly as the neeson "special set of skills" thing
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Alright, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him.

yup xp

max OTM, TLJ just owns that character so thoroughly

no it was just about a bunch of us marshals chasing each other around

the fugitive is no switchback. that's all i know. hell i should have voted for switchback.
