Crappy action film recommendations

13 replies

Susielovelemons · 18/03/2023 19:50

Please recommend a good crappy action film to watch!

On Netflix/Prime/Disney if possible please.

I have seen every Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Arnie, Nic Cage, John Travolta et al film I can think of and I need more!

By crappy I mean: ‘an ex-cop/ ex-hitman has to come out of retirement to save his best friends sisters friends fish’ style.

TIA

Bit different but the new jumanjis are fun.

Or John wickes

I saw a stallone one where he is a professional break out of prison man that was silly but fun.

The Gray Man (Ryan Gossling, Chris Evans) on Netflix.

Second the John Wick rec.

If you want hit-man , there's Polar (but don;t watch with DC there's a lengthy sex scene )

Or for utter shite action ,,,,,,,,, Sharknado 1/2/3/4/5

Oh there's a great film with The Rock and neve Campbell!

It's set in a huge skyscraper and its so ridiculous... at one point he almost falls off this mega skyscraper but manages to use his prosthetic leg to help him climb back up.

Thoroughly entertaining! Think it's called skyscraper... honestly it's so ridiculous but def very entertaining!

Red Notice (if you like Ryan Reynolds ) I happen to love RR Grin

CrumpetsandJammmm · 18/03/2023 20:06

Have you watched The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent with Nic Cage? It’s a lot better than it sounds. And it’s kind of every Nic Cage action movie all rolled into one…

FourTeaFallOut · 18/03/2023 20:06

Go old school? Air Force One?

Whyisitsososohard · 18/03/2023 20:08

Ones with Dwayne Johnson / the rock in that aren't those car films are quite fun!

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 18/03/2023 20:12

The Marine. Early John Cena. Incredibly crappy and cheesy.

Susielovelemons · 18/03/2023 20:18

Thanks for the recommendations.

Air Force One is an all time favourite and I rewatched it recently.

I’ve not seen Extraction, The Marine, Polar (is it deep?) or the new Nic Cage one (I keep thinking about watching it and then decide not to each time!)

Some excellent other recommendations but alas I’ve seen them all! The Skyscraper one with the rock is called Skyscraper - excellently crappy!

Bit different but the new jumanjis are fun

I really hated the original Jumanji ( the Robin Williams one) but when we saw the trailer for the remake with Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Karen Gillian , I .was Yes , need to see that
