I'd be careful about 'doing ups' in a non classified ad forum mate. And to give you some more action titles...

The Negotiator - Samuel L Jackson and Kevin Spacey
Hard Boiled - Japanese film by John Woo. The action scene are incredible. Chow Yun Fat stars.
Con Air - brainless fun in a plane- Nicolas Cage, John Cusack and John Malkcovich.
Speed - chance are you've seen this one
Face Off - another John Woo this time American- Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. Avoid the old R2 flipper release
Battle Royale - Japanese film about 42 school children who are put on a island and jhave to kill each other to stay alive.
Air Force One - the Presidents palne is hijacked by terrorists. Harrison Ford stars.
Pearl Habour - if you can get through the lovey stuff the action scene are some of the best ever.
Arnie Films - Most of them

Thats all I can think of:D

Surely you mean Hong Kong :).

You could also add Kiss of the Dragon to that.

"Up" is a post that is used a lot in the classifieds to bring the thread to the top of page 1.

A couple more:

The Killer (a must see)
Romeo Must Die
Drive
M:I-2
Purple Storm

A couple of controversial ones there I'm sure :D but all were pretty entertaining as far as I'm concerned

Rush Hour 1 + 2 - quality action flicks with Jackie Chan nad Chris Tucker

Aliens - arguably the best sequal ever?

Jurassic Park trilogy - for all out action, pick up JP 3 which is more action packed than the first two

Armageddon - total action flick from Michael Bay

Predator - great Arnie movie from the 80s

Die Hard Trilogy - The R1 UE boxset is IMO the best DVD movie collection boxset yet for sheer quality

Along with all the other suggestions:

Enemy of the State - Swordfish meets The Matrix is this high-tech thriller

X Men - A more "child-friendly" version of Blade from the director of The Usual Suspects

Broken Arrow - From John Woo and the writer of Speed, action-packed - if plot-lite

Rush Hour 1/2 - Entertaining action-comedy with Jackie Chan and Cris Tucker


PS Check out the crappy descriptions I made up!:D :( :o

Forgot to mention DRIVE in my original reply.

Not A-list Hollywood big-budget type material, but definitely a fun movie (considering the titles listed in the header), and an excellent R2 DVD.

Edit: in my original "reply", not "post".
