Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread

def saw Blade Runner well before I saw the Thing or Alien. saw STII and ET in the theater, of course.

I saw the thing in the theaters too! man I must've had my mind blown so bad that summer

Hah, I remember reading the novelisation of Ghostbusters long before the film made it's slow way over to Ireland, and some of the extra details were lovely, such as the fact that she checks the countertop, and it's perfectly cool.

"Blade Runner was released in 1,290 theaters on June 25, 1982."

okay then it wasn't school the next day! maybe camp. definitely remember going over the entire movie with other kids and it was really hard to describe. and they hadn't heard of the movie.

also remember we had to go one town over to new milford to see blade runner because it wasn't playing in our town or in any of the big theaters in danbury.

Two states elected Governors who had starred in that movie.

I think we had to hoof it all the way from red bank to south amboy in jersey to see blade runner, that's like 20 miles one way

sorry this has turned into the action water cooler thread, maybe the water cooler will explode

RUN TO DA COOLER!

Oh, come on. Dutch and his Predator team are down in the jungle to rescue some hostages. It turns out they were not hostages, but that the CIA tricked them down there after a CIA team vanished on a recon/spy mission rather than a search and rescue.

"You set us up! It was all bullshit! The diplomats, the hostages, all of it!"

Yeah, something like that.

Hence the tension between Arnold and Carl.

I havent seen Predator since I high school, I need to revisit

lol Predator reunion

xxp does anyone else find that there's a homoerotic subtext between the two characters, at least until CW's real mission is revealed?

Well, specifically in the handshake/arm wrestling scene when AS/CW first meet in the film.

Don't forget that Predator 2 is entirely responsible for bringing us the Pred ship debate, Predators vs. Aliens, and all that has resulted.

search fanfiction.net

wait, don't do that

the Most hilarious fanboy message board debate of all time

Well I did think there'd be slashfic, but then there's Top Gear slash, so by itself it proves little.

predator 2 also gave us some great rave soundbite samples

I mean all of that all because some prop guy/set dresser was like "lol Alien"

I think I saw Predator twice in the same weekend.

"You set us up! It was all bullshit! The diplomats, the hostages, all of it!"

The broadcast edit of this "It was all BALONEY" became a meme among my friends and I in highschool.

i was just googling predator ship the other day b/c i couldn't remember if it was an ilx meme or general internet meme

...Top...Gear...slash?

*cries*

Rich4rd Hamm0nd embraces his confusing feelings for J3r3my Clarks0n; in particular, J3r3my's hands. ...Mild slash.

also,

Hamm0nd, Cl4rkson and M4y have to share a hotel room but what happens when their drink gets spiked?

;_;

i hate u snoball

we are slowly transitioning from action into "action"

The word 'top' in the thread title is taking on a new meaning...

Predator was badass, let's not forget Bill Duke in this.

YES thank you

Bill Duke does not get enough good parts. He's got such a great presence.

Bill Duke pretty much rules anything he's in.

lol IT WAS NOT A PREDATOR SHIP IN 1979 AND IT IS STILL NOT A PREDATOR SHIP TODAY.

no sense avoiding the obvious

Governor of Minnesota, January 8, 1999 – January 6, 2003

I was hoping that someone would have found the "Turn around" clip.

Just watched Ronin for the first time (it was the only thing on On Demand besides Big Trouble that's likely to make an appearance in these results) and, um...fuck yes. That was on par with the Bournes. Hope it places high!

It's my alltime favorite car chase evvvver. EVER

Ronin is where it's at

Aussie sacrilege.

Actually, haven't seen Ronin since a pre-release screening. Maybe it is rad. But not Predator rad.

"She said the jungle, it just came alive and took him!"

"Bullshit! That's not what she said! What she said doesn't make any sense."
