The 10 Best Action Movies For Fans Of Fight Choreography

But Indiana Jones remains one of the cinema’s most beloved icons and there are many things in Raiders that still hold up today. From Harrison Ford’s charismatic performance to John Williams’ awesome music, these are the most timeless elements of the 1981 clas


Harking back to the pulpy adventure serials they grew up on, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas brought a delightfully old-school vision to action cinema in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark Strategy Ark . Ice-cool adventurer Indiana Jones is the quintessential Harrison Ford character and he got an unforgettable introduction in Raide


Jackie Chan is one of the most prominent stars in action cinema, because he combines his prowess as a master martial artist with Buster Keaton-esque physical comedy. His 1978 hit Drunken Master has a wholly unique premise, as Chan plays a fighter whose abilities peak when he’s intoxica


This is a story that takes place in 17th century France and revolves around the illicit and occasionally reckless affairs of the bored upper class. Our last selection was the same, and that means almost exactly the same. Valmont is about the same characters and has almost the same storyline as Dangerous Liaisons , just in a different movie. So, how can Valmont be so differ


I got to know it in little bits and pieces, because I met Steven first in New York. He came to New York, and we just talked for 15 or 20 minutes. He didn't tell me much about the film, it was just considered Steven Spielberg's next project. And then about a week later, he sent me the scene in the Ravenwood bar. I read that scene, and he wanted me to fly to Los Angeles and audition - they actually wanted to do full-on screen tests - with two men who were possible Indiana Joneses. One was Tim Matheson, who I had worked with in the first film I'd ever done called Animal House. And another was a New York actor named John Shea, who I knew a little bit just from New York - which at the time felt like a very small actor community. My first connection to it was really just that one scene. And in that one scene, working on that one scene over and over again, I fell in love with the character. It's such a wonderful introduction to the character in the film, And then when they asked me to do the film, they sent me for the first time the whole script, so I got to read the script after they had made an offer to


It's so cool that you got to know Marion doing the bar scene, because it's such an amazing introduction, and Marion is such a powerful character who really holds her own. And it was a level of characterization - if you compare it to Bond, which Indy was riffing on - that was head and shoulders above the others. How did you bring that energy and vibrance to the charac


Yes, those scenes where I am barefoot, which there are a lot of when I'm in that white dress, for the most part. It's very fanciful that I put on that white dress and a pair of high heels out in the middle of the desert. And then I seem to lose my shoes entirely in the Well of Souls. It's interesting. I don't know exactly how I got through being barefoot for all of that. Certainly, in the Well of Souls with all the snakes, it was very challenging. There were a lot of snakes there, and I had nothing on my teeth and nothing on my legs - once the skirt gets ripped, the bottom half of my legs is also completely bare. So, it does feel very much like I have no protection against the fire and the snakes and everything that was going on. I don't know, you just rise to the occasion, as they say. When you're an actor, they throw all these circumstances at you. You just have to sometimes take a deep breath and see it as a part of the adventure. What can I say? I guess I'm a good sp


**I grew up on Raiders of the Lost Ark , and absolutely love it. Revisiting it again before talking to you just hammers home how well it holds up and how well it's aged. Do you often revisit it? Is it a movie you go back to, or do you not like to watch your own stuff


With other movie genres, you might not be sure what those born under the sign of Cancer will like. The period drama genre, however, is something that every Cancer can get behind. In fact, period dramas might have been made for the Cancer. Romance, history, immersive sets, and detailed stories make up the period drama movie and the sentimental, detail-obsessed crustacean can't get enough of t


The story of a fighter who needs to get drunk to fight made for the perfect action comedy , because the joke engine of the comedy is driven by action. The fights are masterfully choreographed and performed by experts, but it has a slapstick approach. As usual, Chan’s stunt work is impecca

So, it was brought up to where I was working on a film in Northern California. It got brought up, and I had to read it in my hotel room with a courier sitting there, waiting for me to finish - and then I had to give it back to him. They took the script away, and I didn't read it for another two or three weeks or something, until they offered me the role. I accepted, and then they sent me anothet version of the script. But I was pretty bowled over when I read the script. I mean, it was the most fantastical story on paper. I don't know that you can do a film like Raiders of the Lost Ark justice on paper, but it was quite extraordinary to r
