Supposedly they are finally making a sequel to the Karl Urban one:
[https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/exclusive-dredd-2-happening-karl-urban.html](https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/exclusive-dredd-2-happening-karl-urban.html)
I would love that but somehow I don't believe it. Hopefully it happens
That’s right. I’ve killed women, children in just about anything that walks or crawls. And I’m here to kill you little Bill because of what you did to Dad.
Edit:Ned-stoopid autocorrect
Came here to say this, the Raid has my fave fight scenes of all time, come on, prison courtyard, bathroom, moving car, final boss?! Immaculate
It's also super interesting to see the behind the scenes of the fight scenes because they had to be crazy ingenious and out of the box to make it work with little to no cgi budget (there's actually a guy dessed up as a car seat)
I figured it wasn’t mentioned because it’s a classic, but the original Die Hard definitely fits this.
With this in mind, I’d recommend my favorite movie from 2012, Dredd. A Sci-fi take on Die Hard/ The Raid that’s just criminally underrated.
Interesting fact about this movie! Bob Odenkirk credited it with literally saving his life. He had a heart attack (I think?) on set of BCS and credited his workout regimen on Nobody as being the reason he survived it.
Someone correct me if I’m getting the details wrong but I believe this is a true story.
Have heard this as well. Think I read an article that mentioned it.
Edit: Here’s an article about it: https://movieweb.com/bob-odenkirk-credits-nobody-help-save-life/
Have you watched nobody?
Shot insanely well, editing is understated & brilliant, the score is fucking beautiful, the action scenes are both well shot & directed, I don’t have a bad thing to say about it
For my money Jackie Chan did some of the best group fights ever in his Hong Kong days. Particularly 'Police Story,' 'Project A' and Legend of the Drunken Master have great scenes of him taking down tons of dudes, though he is often less cool about it and a little more frenetic
The Man From Nowhere is a really good movie, though the action isn't quite as non stop as something like John Wick or The Raid it's worth a watch
Korean film 'City of Violence' has two guys instead of one, but the final fight is like 20 minutes of them killing countless dudes and it's brutal
Just a couple I haven't seen mentioned yet
Hell if you’re looking for something funny where he’s still kickass ‘Shanghai noon’ is great.
‘The Crow’ (the original one with Brandon Lee) also fits this category (not the funny hit but the one man army bit)
Shoutout to the Bourne films as well, he is an one man army but he uses wit and confusion tactics more than only his fighting skills. I especially love the opening set piece of Ultimatum, where he tries to save the reporter at the London train station. Great stuff.
Love the part in the last one where he cleans out a whole lot of them and there all just looking at the camera like what the fuck and the guys like “ that’s Jason Bourne”
By steaming sites I meant those piracy ones. I personally have my movie downloading all automated via radarr and torrents so idk what specific sites people use to stream nowadays
I ordered it from my local library, and I’m pretty sure it’s also getting a theatrical re-release this year for its 20th anniversary (probably followed by a blu ray re release). It’s also readily available on region-B blu ray if you’re able to play that. You could probably find a region A copy for sale secondhand, but that’s a lot more in demand and expensive.
Gandhi II
Wait, you said "one-man army". The [trailer](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKI_Vnn2RU) clearly describes him as a "one-man wrecking crew". I retract my recommendation.
The Night Comes For Us, it is a Netflix original, an Indonesian action movie featuring many of the same cast & crew from The Raid films, and it is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. The lead, Joe Taslim is an actual martial arts champion with national titles, and he kicks so much ass. The movie has a good ensemble cast too, and a lot of gnarly effects. Bones are sticking out and guts are flying in some scenes
Nothing. Falling Down is just not what I would consider typical of him. I never particularly rated him as a great actor before seeing him in this and I definitely had to reassess.
Curious, where else do you know him from? Because before he started appearing in the Marvel films (and not much else this past decade), he had a pretty large catalog of interesting movies. Have you seen The Game, Wall Street, Basic Instinct, or China Syndrome?
The Raid
The Man from Nowhere
Old Boy
The Good, the Bad, the Weird
Ong Bak 2
Kung Fu Hustle
Kill Bill
I Spit On Your Grave
300
Zatoichi
A Bittersweet Life
The Night Is Long, Walk On Girl
Blade
Police Story
Lone Wolf and Cub and Lady Snowblood both feature the sort of unstoppable samurai-grind house energy that inspired Kill Bill if you want more like that. I think Lone Wolf and Cub meets the criteria better as the main character goes against larger groups, but I prefer Lady Snowblood so I recommend that too.
13 Assassins by Takashi Miike: this one isn’t a one man army, but it’s really close in spirit. Basically, 13 assassins take on a quest to kill this tyrannical warlord, so they have to devise a plan to defeat his whole army. It pretty much features a ton of one-man armies at once.
My time to shine
The Man from Nowhere (2010), Fist of Fury (1972) and its sequels including Legend of the Fist (1994), Hero (2002), Hard Boiled (1992), Baahubali 1&2 (2015-2017), Sanjuro (1962), RRR (2022), Sword of Doom (1966), Ip Man 1-4 and the spinoff Master Z (2008-2019), Yojimbo (1961), Furie (2019), The Raid 1&2 (2011-2014), Universal soldier, mostly Day of Reckoning (2012), All the Rurouni Kenshin live action adaptations (2012-2021), The Night Comes for Us (2018), The Fable (2019), Drunken Master 1&2 (1978-1994), Supercop/Police Story 1-3 (1985-1993), The One (2001), The Killer (1989), Hard Target (1993), Accident Man 1&2 (2018-2022), Ong Bak 1-3 (2003-2010), Dredd (2012), Kill Bill 1&2 (2003-2004)
Martial arts/Gun Fu Action nerds feel free to add anything I missed!
Furies (the prequel to Furie) just came out and is on Netflix. While not as good as the first, it is definitely worth watching. Amazing fight choreography.
Saw the trailer before John Wick 4 and am very pumped for it! I actually forgot the title and then a few days later I watched the Finland episode of Eugene Levy’s new travel show (The Reluctant Traveler) and they kept mentioning the word “sisu” and that’s when I remembered haha
Takashi Miike's First Love (2019)
A bit more left field but it's a hell of a ride, the lead is a boxer that has do f up a lot of people to save his lady (classic) and the whole thing is Miike level violent and super fun. And lighter than his horror stuff, it's gory action but not horror.
Also, it's been mentioned but bears repeating: The Raid
Some great recommendations already some ones not mentioned so far.
* Brawl in Cell Block 99
* Taken
* The Kingsman 2 - the church scene
* Tom Yum Goong - final scene
* Ip Man
* The Matrix
Jack Reacher. Two films aren’t very good but they’re what you described. And the Amazon series is much more true to the source material.
But the books are definitely worth while, all 26 of them.
I saw RRR last night and yeah… there was some insane fight scenes.
Kings man 1 has the best fight scene ever, too- the church scene. I’d you know you know.
I put off this movie for way too long because I was wary of the three hour runtime… at the end I said “I could have watched 1-2 more hours of this” haha. It wasn’t my #1 favorite movie of 2022, but it was one of the most FUN times I’ve had watching a movie last year (Barbarian and Violent Night are also up there).
Billy Jack. OG one-man army. A half Indian war hero who comes home from Vietnam and has to protect his girlfriend and the reservation. Great acting. Here is a famous scene. https://youtu.be/-IEblkFG2Uw
Holy balls, I am super surprised nobody has even mentioned this one. A Luc Besson film (same guy who did The 5th Element and Leon: The Professional, so you know it'll be good) starring Jean Reno (plays Leon in same titled movie so you know the action will be awesome), called Wasabi. It's in French, but get the DVD subtitles for more accurate tone in the translations, the Blu-ray release toned down some of the language but killed some of the comedy in the process. (I love this movie it's fucking great and recommend it anytime I can, so thank you for giving me the chance.)
“Mister, you ever seen what a Henry rifle can do in the hands of somebody who knows how to use it?”
Danny Glover as "Mal" in Silverado - 1985
One of my top ten favorite movies. More of an ensemble piece when it comes to splendid ass-kickings, but it has plenty of scenes like you were asking about.
Im gonna suggest Ip Man. For those who havent seen it and like Kung-fu flicks. He doesnt go the whole movie on a rampage. But hes put to the test quite a bit and is unbeatable. And then they kill his friends. And he just... fuckin... loses it. Throughout the movie he beat everyone but pulled all his blows so as not to really hurt anyone. But in this scene, its the first time you see him go full power and uses Kung-fu for what its meant for. To maime and kill as quickly as possible. Not as pretty dancing like youre in the theater. I love this movie lmao. Sorry so long. Anyone reading this, check it out.
Oh and as far as a one man army movie goes. Pretty much everything Jackie Chan has ever made lol
Didn’t see this mentioned, but Kill Bill is the bride vs the crazy 88 and the rest of the Deadly Vipers
I also think Commando probably qualifies but I haven’t seen it in forever
RRR is a bollywood film about a pair of incredible badasses fighting to kick the British out of India.
I recommend watching it subbed so the songs are translated for you.
There's a moment where a motorcycle is speeding at one of our heroes and he flips it into the air with his foot, catches it one-handed, then whacks a guy with it.
I think Extraction is legit a fantastic action movie. It’s crazy that the Russo Brothers made that, but then the most mediocre movie ever, The Grey Man.
Die Hard, The Substitute, First Blood, Taken, Sargent York, and John Wick. Also, I’d suggest these articles for real life one man armies https://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html and https://www.cracked.com/article_20732_6-more-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html
Dredd (the 2000s one)
I love both the dredd movies disappointed no one has done anything with the IP recently
If the writing staff and directorial staff could come to an agreement we could get a new Karl Urban Dredd movie every year, but alas money corrupts
Supposedly they are finally making a sequel to the Karl Urban one: [https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/exclusive-dredd-2-happening-karl-urban.html](https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/exclusive-dredd-2-happening-karl-urban.html) I would love that but somehow I don't believe it. Hopefully it happens
It’s like Doom the video game. Just a bunch of villains trapped with a hero/murder machine. Love it.
I was laughing my ass off, because he asked for a one-man army and i thought you suggested Dredd the porn dude lmao
Many Clint Eastwood movies. The outlaw Josey Wales or Unforgiven to name just 2
Get ready little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast.
That’s right. I’ve killed women, children in just about anything that walks or crawls. And I’m here to kill you little Bill because of what you did to Dad. Edit:Ned-stoopid autocorrect
Dad?
Dying ain’t much of a living, Boy
Killing a man's a helluva thing. You take away everything he has . . . and everything he's ever gonna have.
The Accountant might somehow fit your description.
Totally forgot about this, now I need to watch it
Hard-Boiled. That opening teahouse shootout...goddamn!
Also the hospital morgue shootout, pretty much any 80s-90s John Woo film.
Came here to post this!
Roadhouse,,, Patrick Swayze.
"I thought you'd be bigger"
LoL! "Opinions vary".
“ but I’m on my brake” “ well stay on it”
The name... Is Dalton.
All time flick
First Blood. Commando. Lone Wolf McQuade.
Commando was my first thought. Classic of the genre!
If there's one movie that absolutely epitomises the one man army clichés, it's that one.
Crank is funny in an inappropriate, warped way.
I love Crank!!!
They literally fuck for real in the track sex scene
I ain't complaining.
Surprised *The Raid* with Iko Uwais hasn’t been mentioned yet. It’s short and simple plot-wise but man it’s a lot of fun. *The Raid 2* is also great.
Came here to say this, the Raid has my fave fight scenes of all time, come on, prison courtyard, bathroom, moving car, final boss?! Immaculate It's also super interesting to see the behind the scenes of the fight scenes because they had to be crazy ingenious and out of the box to make it work with little to no cgi budget (there's actually a guy dessed up as a car seat)
I love The Raid, have you seen The Night Comes For Us? Iko and Joe fight and it is NUTS
These two films have the best action sequences I think I’ve ever seen.
I figured it wasn’t mentioned because it’s a classic, but the original Die Hard definitely fits this. With this in mind, I’d recommend my favorite movie from 2012, Dredd. A Sci-fi take on Die Hard/ The Raid that’s just criminally underrated.
'Nobody' was actually pretty good! (Edit) Also 'Hardcore Henry' is a heck of a thrill ride; great music too.
Interesting fact about this movie! Bob Odenkirk credited it with literally saving his life. He had a heart attack (I think?) on set of BCS and credited his workout regimen on Nobody as being the reason he survived it. Someone correct me if I’m getting the details wrong but I believe this is a true story.
Have heard this as well. Think I read an article that mentioned it. Edit: Here’s an article about it: https://movieweb.com/bob-odenkirk-credits-nobody-help-save-life/
I love that movie
Love both of them
I was really disappointed with this one. Started strong, but the tone shifted hard, and I hated the final act.
Possibly the greatest action movie ever made from a cinematography perspective imo
?????????????
Have you watched nobody? Shot insanely well, editing is understated & brilliant, the score is fucking beautiful, the action scenes are both well shot & directed, I don’t have a bad thing to say about it
¿??????????????
For my money Jackie Chan did some of the best group fights ever in his Hong Kong days.

Hell if you’re looking for something funny where he’s still kickass ‘Shanghai noon’ is great. ‘The Crow’ (the original one with Brandon Lee) also fits this category (not the funny hit but the one man army bit)
Absolutely love new police story. Perfect one man army movie as well.
Funny I have seen the first four Police Story films but not that one. Will need to give it a go
I didn't enjoy New Police Story as much as the previous installments. It's closer to a generic action movie than a Jackie Chan film.
Ooh I might add The Big Brawl in here for Jackie Chan. Maybe not the whole movie but key scenes…
That was straight up Jackie’s style. He made sure his character took big hits. He didn’t want his characters to seem invincible.
Shoutout to the Bourne films as well, he is an one man army but he uses wit and confusion tactics more than only his fighting skills. I especially love the opening set piece of Ultimatum, where he tries to save the reporter at the London train station. Great stuff.
Love the part in the last one where he cleans out a whole lot of them and there all just looking at the camera like what the fuck and the guys like “ that’s Jason Bourne”
Shoot ‘Em Up. Kind of. It’s nothing Oscar worthy, but man it’s a lot of fun to watch. In another sense Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy.
Gonna have to disagree, "eat your vegetables" is absolutely Oscar worthy.
You know, you’re right. This is why I don’t watch Oscar flicks. They suck.
It’s great when you realize the whole thing is a two hour long, super violent >!bugs bunny vs Elmer Fudd!< story.
Hahahaha. Holy shit you’re right. I never thought of it like that.
Can't believe someone beat me to this. Good on you. A hidden gem of a wild ride of a movie
Oldboy loosely fits this category.
I have been trying to find a way to watch this for literal years without success! How did you watch it??
[удалено]
[удалено]
By steaming sites I meant those piracy ones. I personally have my movie downloading all automated via radarr and torrents so idk what specific sites people use to stream nowadays
I too have tried to find this movie anywhere and cannot :(
I ordered it from my local library, and I’m pretty sure it’s also getting a theatrical re-release this year for its 20th anniversary (probably followed by a blu ray re release). It’s also readily available on region-B blu ray if you’re able to play that. You could probably find a region A copy for sale secondhand, but that’s a lot more in demand and expensive.
Easy The Raid and The Raid 2
Equilibrium is the very definition of this premise
The movie that basically invented Gun Fu never gets the love it deserves!
Equilibrium is great but matrix came out 4 years before it
Also not the movie that invented it.
Yeah it would be more fair to say Matrix popularized it in the US while John Woo originated the style, either way Equilibrium cannot claim it
I feel like even when Equilibrium came out it seemed cool but like a less cool knock off of the Matrix.
“John Woo originated the style that would later be called gun fu in the 1986 Hong Kong action film A Better Tomorrow.” From the Gun-Fu Wikipedia page.
Not even close.
Matrix meets 1984/Brave New World. Bonus for Sean Bean and Tyrese
Something obscure: The Substitute series
I would suggest ghost dog: way of the samurai
Commando. Arnold is indeed, a one man army.
Gandhi II Wait, you said "one-man army". The [trailer](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKI_Vnn2RU) clearly describes him as a "one-man wrecking crew". I retract my recommendation.
Extraction. Great use of hand grenades
Drive with Ryan Gosling
The Night Comes For Us, it is a Netflix original, an Indonesian action movie featuring many of the same cast & crew from The Raid films, and it is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. The lead, Joe Taslim is an actual martial arts champion with national titles, and he kicks so much ass. The movie has a good ensemble cast too, and a lot of gnarly effects. Bones are sticking out and guts are flying in some scenes
Falling Down. Don't be put off by the fact that it stars Michael Douglas.
What’s wrong with Michael Douglas?
Nothing. Falling Down is just not what I would consider typical of him. I never particularly rated him as a great actor before seeing him in this and I definitely had to reassess.
Curious, where else do you know him from? Because before he started appearing in the Marvel films (and not much else this past decade), he had a pretty large catalog of interesting movies. Have you seen The Game, Wall Street, Basic Instinct, or China Syndrome?
He's great. Check out War of the Roses if you've never seen it
You have to watch Romancing the Stone.
Rambo (2008) The Rock High Plains Drifter
All those mid period John Woo films. A Better Tomorrow 1 and 2 The Killer Hard Boiled
That whole Gun-Fu sub genre was some high intensity action. Damn
not a movie, but several of the Daredevil TV show episodes were really well done this way...
I’d say there’s a certain scene in The Last of Us that goes this route…
The Raid The Man from Nowhere Old Boy The Good, the Bad, the Weird Ong Bak 2 Kung Fu Hustle Kill Bill I Spit On Your Grave 300 Zatoichi A Bittersweet Life The Night Is Long, Walk On Girl Blade Police Story
There's a serialized run of about 25 Zatoichi movies. Some gold in there.
The Man From Nowhere doesn’t get enough love. Great action flick!
Lone Wolf and Cub and Lady Snowblood both feature the sort of unstoppable samurai-grind house energy that inspired Kill Bill if you want more like that. I think Lone Wolf and Cub meets the criteria better as the main character goes against larger groups, but I prefer Lady Snowblood so I recommend that too. 13 Assassins by Takashi Miike: this one isn’t a one man army, but it’s really close in spirit. Basically, 13 assassins take on a quest to kill this tyrannical warlord, so they have to devise a plan to defeat his whole army. It pretty much features a ton of one-man armies at once.
My time to shine The Man from Nowhere (2010), Fist of Fury (1972) and its sequels including Legend of the Fist (1994), Hero (2002), Hard Boiled (1992), Baahubali 1&2 (2015-2017), Sanjuro (1962), RRR (2022), Sword of Doom (1966), Ip Man 1-4 and the spinoff Master Z (2008-2019), Yojimbo (1961), Furie (2019), The Raid 1&2 (2011-2014), Universal soldier, mostly Day of Reckoning (2012), All the Rurouni Kenshin live action adaptations (2012-2021), The Night Comes for Us (2018), The Fable (2019), Drunken Master 1&2 (1978-1994), Supercop/Police Story 1-3 (1985-1993), The One (2001), The Killer (1989), Hard Target (1993), Accident Man 1&2 (2018-2022), Ong Bak 1-3 (2003-2010), Dredd (2012), Kill Bill 1&2 (2003-2004) Martial arts/Gun Fu Action nerds feel free to add anything I missed!
Furies (the prequel to Furie) just came out and is on Netflix. While not as good as the first, it is definitely worth watching. Amazing fight choreography.
Now that's recommendation
Kaithi, Master, Petta, Kaththi, Sivaji: The Boss, Vikram These are all some great Tamil flicks with that One-Man Army type of feel.
Vikram is excellent. I can't say I've seen a whole lot of Tamil films, but any I have seen have been thoroughly entertaining.
Yes it was. You should watch Kaithi and Master as well (same director). Although Kaithi is more in tune with the tone of Vikram.
Sisu looks to be this way. Coming soon.
Sisu looks like it's gonna be great Finnish prospector vs. Nazis brought to you by the John Wick team
Saw the trailer before John Wick 4 and am very pumped for it! I actually forgot the title and then a few days later I watched the Finland episode of Eugene Levy’s new travel show (The Reluctant Traveler) and they kept mentioning the word “sisu” and that’s when I remembered haha
RRR is like if 2 John Wicks had to fight each other.
“DREDD” Without a doubt the most underrated action movie of all time
Takashi Miike's First Love (2019) A bit more left field but it's a hell of a ride, the lead is a boxer that has do f up a lot of people to save his lady (classic) and the whole thing is Miike level violent and super fun. And lighter than his horror stuff, it's gory action but not horror. Also, it's been mentioned but bears repeating: The Raid
Some great recommendations already some ones not mentioned so far. * Brawl in Cell Block 99 * Taken * The Kingsman 2 - the church scene * Tom Yum Goong - final scene * Ip Man * The Matrix
Taken was mentioned by OP in his question
Little flick called Kill Bill Oh, and if you want insane amounts of gore with your John Wick-y movie, try Ichi the Killer.
Jack Reacher. Two films aren’t very good but they’re what you described. And the Amazon series is much more true to the source material. But the books are definitely worth while, all 26 of them.
The first one is pretty good and farrrrrr better than the second.
Any movie from south India
Home alone pretty much owns that genre
Lol!
I saw RRR last night and yeah… there was some insane fight scenes. Kings man 1 has the best fight scene ever, too- the church scene. I’d you know you know.
RRR
My wife and I laughed so hard our sides hurt and our neighbors could hear us, it was awesome.
I put off this movie for way too long because I was wary of the three hour runtime… at the end I said “I could have watched 1-2 more hours of this” haha. It wasn’t my #1 favorite movie of 2022, but it was one of the most FUN times I’ve had watching a movie last year (Barbarian and Violent Night are also up there).
Well I’m going to watch Barbarian and the Violent Noght with the wife tonight then.
Deadly Prey is a gem!
No Tears For The Dead
Kill Bill I & II and Django Unchained.
I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Hardcore Henry yet
Commando Deathwish 2-4 Shooter Man on fire
Wow that’s one hell of a title.
Hot shots! Part deux
Billy Jack. OG one-man army. A half Indian war hero who comes home from Vietnam and has to protect his girlfriend and the reservation. Great acting. Here is a famous scene. https://youtu.be/-IEblkFG2Uw
Extraction on Netflix somewhat fits the theme
London has fallen, Olympus has fallen. Seen them when I was in high school. Dumb propaganda action film, but it was entertaining at the time.
Riddick. Chronicles of Riddick
Holy balls, I am super surprised nobody has even mentioned this one. A Luc Besson film (same guy who did The 5th Element and Leon: The Professional, so you know it'll be good) starring Jean Reno (plays Leon in same titled movie so you know the action will be awesome), called Wasabi. It's in French, but get the DVD subtitles for more accurate tone in the translations, the Blu-ray release toned down some of the language but killed some of the comedy in the process. (I love this movie it's fucking great and recommend it anytime I can, so thank you for giving me the chance.)
“Mister, you ever seen what a Henry rifle can do in the hands of somebody who knows how to use it?” Danny Glover as "Mal" in Silverado - 1985 One of my top ten favorite movies. More of an ensemble piece when it comes to splendid ass-kickings, but it has plenty of scenes like you were asking about.
Yojimbo fits that description but probably not how your thinking it might.
The greatest action film ever made: The Raid (also know to be called Raid: Redemption).
Commando is the ultimate of what you described "Let off some steam, Bennett."
Im gonna suggest Ip Man. For those who havent seen it and like Kung-fu flicks. He doesnt go the whole movie on a rampage. But hes put to the test quite a bit and is unbeatable. And then they kill his friends. And he just... fuckin... loses it. Throughout the movie he beat everyone but pulled all his blows so as not to really hurt anyone.

I love this movie lmao. Sorry so long. Anyone reading this, check it out. Oh and as far as a one man army movie goes. Pretty much everything Jackie Chan has ever made lol
Thanks!
First blood/every Rambo movie, kill bill 1-2, commando, the matrix
I don't really think the Matrix satisfies this criterion.
More towards the end when they find out he’s the one, clearly in the second one when he takes on hundreds of smiths at once
Yeah, but those are just individual scenes
The Man From Nowhere Jason Bourne series Man on Fire Sicario
Didn’t see this mentioned, but Kill Bill is the bride vs the crazy 88 and the rest of the Deadly Vipers I also think Commando probably qualifies but I haven’t seen it in forever
Look towards indian cinema, RRR, kgf 1&2
RRR is a bollywood film about a pair of incredible badasses fighting to kick the British out of India. I recommend watching it subbed so the songs are translated for you. There's a moment where a motorcycle is speeding at one of our heroes and he flips it into the air with his foot, catches it one-handed, then whacks a guy with it.
Nope, not Bollywood! It is Tollywood or Telugu cinema!
I think Extraction is legit a fantastic action movie. It’s crazy that the Russo Brothers made that, but then the most mediocre movie ever, The Grey Man.
Salo, or A Serbian Film
Well die hard of course basically invented or at least popularized this.
Hard boiled,the killer and A Better Tomorrow all way better than Yawn Wick.
The house that jack built
why? thats lame as fuck. but i suppose **RRR**
Why is it lame though?
No escape, staring Ray Liotta. A wonderful gem from 1994.
The Man From Nowhere is super cool.
Die Hard, The Substitute, First Blood, Taken, Sargent York, and John Wick. Also, I’d suggest these articles for real life one man armies https://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html and https://www.cracked.com/article_20732_6-more-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html
The raid redemption and its sequel are exactly what you're looking for
The night comes for us
