Hardcore movies

[Liquid Blue]

I don't want to be in Digital Editing class at 8 in the morning but here I am, so this is going to be made worthwhile. Post about some hardcore movies you've seen recently, even if it's not the first time you've watched them. I'm going to tell you about three movies that my friends and I have recently rented and are in the process of watching (2 out of 3 done).

1st movie, Commando-



I first saw the ending of the movie on Telemundo (spanish channel), and I can guarentee you that there is very little that is more hardcore than Arnold mowing down mass amounts of enemies while talking in spanish. At one point he rips a phonebooth out of a wall (with a guy in it), and he kills another guy by skewering him with a pipe. Watched it in full on Sunday.

Bad ass level: 9/10
People dying from explosions: Check
No-nonsense look from hero: Check
Necks getting snapped: Check


2nd movie, Legend of the Drunken Master-



Last night was like the third time I've watched this movie, and it's still as hardcore as ever. "Crazy Legs Jones" (aka Glasses McGee at the end) is
fun to watch, as is Jackie-Chan getting piss drunk to fight.Bar scene (aka Jackie Chan as Bamboo Willy) is so awesome.

Bad ass level: 9/10
People getting lit on fire: Check
Jackie-Chan getting drunk: Check
No-nonsense look from hero: Check


3rd movie, we're probably watching on Thursday is
"Missing in Action"-



All I know is that Chuck Norris is going to rescue some MIA's from the jungles of Vietnam. Look at that cover, you know it's going to be badass.

Movie that owns most other movies- "The Killer"



This is one of the best movies I have ever seen, simply for the death count. I'm talking over 50 people die in less than 10 mins, and it's just so badass to watch. Chow Yun Fat is usually hardcore, but in here he just shines like no other. This is one of the earliest movies that I have seen that have alot of "dual-wielding pistols", Matrix might have ripped it from this but don't quote me on that.The plot is meh, it's ok but you really are going to see this for the death, not for any oscar-winning story or academy award-winning acting.

Bad ass level: 25/10
Chow Yun Fat: Check
Chow Yun Fat as a gun-toting badass:Check
Shotgun to the face in a church: Check
Useful DVD extra (kill count): Check


Ever see Chuck Norris pre-stach? I'm talking pre moustache, it's hillarious as crap. Apparentally he was known as " White Lightning" back then, and the one movie I've seen of him pre-stach is "Eye for an Eye"



It's cheesy, it's poorly made, and yet it's hilarious at the same time. Nothing more can be said.

Bad Ass level: 7/10
Guy getting lit on fire after getting hit by a car: Check
Ninjas: Check
Asian martial arts master as Norris's sidekick: Check
Neck getting snapped: Check
Norris's moustache: Not check!
No-nonsense look from Hero:Check

Try "Hardboiled".

If you want hardcore I better hope you have watched this movie...

You might know Jean Reno who plays the professional hitman in THE PROFESSIONAL in another role as a cop in da vinci code, pink panther. he was also in ronin and rollerball.

does the term "hardcore movies" have a different connotation in other places as well as england

[gran guerrero]

does the term "hardcore movies" have a different connotation in other places as well as england

well...you break it down like this...
hardcore
1) sex that shows everything and is not angled in anyway not to show anything.
2) action that does not censor its violence like showing someones head get blown off, or you see blood coming out of everywhere (check out kill bill)
3) something really really cool and is one of the best movies made in its genre.

[NaiLed]

let's just say that if i went into a pub and asked a big guy if he watched hardcore movies, i'd probably get my face smashed in

[Galleleo]

Once upon a time in Mexico, with Antonio Banderas..

On a different, yet related note.. I love Jackie Chan movies, for the sole fact that I think that it's amazing the fight scenes he comes up with, the stuff he uses, the holes he squirms himself through, etc.

[Troll King]

Try "Hardboiled".

John Woo's producing a sequel... in video game form, for XBox360, PS3 and PC. Chow Yun Fat will lend his voice and likeness to play Inspector Tequila. Expect the game to feature slo-mo action sequences and realistic damage to anything your double-pistols can hit.

Read an E3 preview here.

[Pearl Jam]

pearl jam's life lessons learned from the cinematic adventure "COMMANDO"

everything i needed to know about rescuing a kidnapped daughter from hispanic rebels and a really out-of-shape australian guy that want me to assassinate the president of another hispanic country i learned from THIS movie

without it...i wouldn't even know where to start. i'd probably just smuggle her a shotgun in a cake enclosed with a letter that reads like this:

"dear daughter: fight your way out. if you run out of ammo, improvise and use garden tools and buzzsaws. try not to die. if you do, i'll sell your stuff on ebay. good luck. love, dad"

[DoTheFandango]

Die Hard FTW

[404 Not Found]

Scarface

[genocidal]

I'll second Die Hard. Any Arnold movie, and yes I'm a fan. I suggest Red Heat, Predator, and Total Recall. Black Mask with Jet Li is badass too. I like Westerns too, so The Gunfight at the OK Corral and Big Jake are good and violent Westerns. I also like Vampires because they are sweet, so check out John Carpenter's Vampires or Underworld.

[gran guerrero]

jackie chan movies are $ especially legend of the drunken master (my favorite)
only other movie that the chan man made that comes second to that is rumble in the bronx.

but if you want some hardcore martial arts check out this movie called
Ong Bak:Muay Thai Warrior


TONY JAA IS THE NEXT BEST THING SINCE BRUCE LEE, JET LEE AND JACKIE CHAN!

[Sufficient]

Ong Bak was surprisingly good. Great action sequences ... some of the best I've seen within the last few yrs.
