I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle. The Rock was also one I liked growing up. I thought old man sean Connery was a bad ass. Some good one liners in that one too
Heat. Michael Mann's best work. (Disclaimer: I still like Miami Vice episodes though.) Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.
The Professional (Unless I missed it .... How this took 5 pages????? ) True Romance Taken To Live and Die in L.A.
i just watched Heat for the first time yesterday. what a POS. couldnt wait for it to be over, and it was a lonnng wait. 170 mins.
The stairway fight scene in Atomic Blonde is some of the best choreography and camera work on film. And Charlize did most of her own stunts. Bitch is badass. I could tell they wanted that scene to anchor the film. It was like watching a Woo Ping sequence. Can't imagine how much time they spent on it. Watch it and realize there is a crew on those stairs as they move. It's beautiful. Good action flick, hope for a sequel. Lol loved her reaction when stairway dude shows up for more. "Dafuq?!"
True Romance, sure. But TLaDiLA? More of an INaction movie to me. I enjoyed it a lot as a period piece. Very atmospheric, like Bladerunner.
Sho Kosugi is the man. The movies were kinda cheesy, but he was a Ninja, goddammit ! 12 year old me worshiped that guy.
