Best "Macho Movie"?

[MovieBud]

What is the best macho movie ever made? To be considered a "macho movie", it must contain most of these characteristics:

* The villain has no redeeming qualities.
* Things will be blown up.
* Guns will be fired and meaningless characters will be killed.
* The main character won't say much but he will say some catchy things.
* A woman or child will be kidnapped.
* There will be hand-to-hand combat to prove who is really the toughest.
* Someone will have a very cool vehicle.

[Joe karate]

Terminator!!... Villain is a machine(no redeeming qualities there), buildings and cars blow up, lots of guns and killing of SWAT/civillians, Terminator only says catchy short things, and drives a motorcycle
RAMBO!! Need i say more?

[pgm316]

It coul dbe the first Rambo movie, a bit dated now. But it had a decent plot to back up all the chaos!

[Andy Murray]

Sounds like a description of 'Die Hard' to me.

[Cain]

Sudden death :D

Jean Claude Van Damme :D

|Cain|

[Saz]

Yeah, Die Hard!

Apart from that, 24 seems to fit. Ok, its not a film but

Both Villians were Uber Baddies

Planes, cars, mobile phone bombs and lots of other stuff get blown up.

Lots of guns and lots of useless characters get bumped off (and some not so useless ones too)

The wife and daughter got kidnapped. Twice. And the wife got shot at the end too.

It had lots of cool cars and gadgets.

And the lead character was fit :D

[Freeform]

Ah, but in Die Hard McLean always got his ass kicked in hand to hand, which to me made it a better film!

Roadhouse. It has everything: Patrick Swayze; naked Kelly Lynch; wrestler-turned-actor Terry Funk; Elvis bodyguard turned actor Red West; punk rock god turned actor John Doe; monster trucks; gratuitous explosions; gratuitous Mercedes destruction; an utterly incoherent plot; and some of the gnarliest fight scenes ever (thx to choreographer Benny The Jet Urquidez).

The Street Fighter (not the sucko Van Damme movie). Sonny F'n Chiba in his prime! Dumb, brutal, and hilarious. The prop blood looks like orange paint. The famous x-ray shot showing the effects of a jumping knuckle punch to the skull. Vomit fu. An attempted rapist disarmed. This was the first movie released in USA with an X rating for violence.

[Mushroom]

Ya'll crazy!!

Commando is the greatest macho movie ever.

Movie starts off with Arnie with an Ax chopping wood.

Villians coated in rubbing oil and string vests beat up Arnie

Arnie pushes a car down a hill to chase after bad guys

Arnie befriend Rae Dawn Chong

Arnie holds sub-villain over a cliff one handed

Rae Dawn Chong blows up police van (with Arnie in it) with a Bazooka

Thats like only up to halfway of Commando!

Are we talking "best" as in you actually liked it, or "best" as in "we know this movie will suck but we're doing it anyway because we can count on teen boys to watch it over a large pizza" ?

In the first category I can't think of anything better than what was already mentioned. In the second category, I'll put up one of the ninja movies with Sho Kosugi. (Ya, I watched them when I was teen boy. I'll admit to it.)

[xen]

demolition man...

1. it doesn't take itself too seriously

2. it has dennis leary in it, ranting about the system

:)

[iamraisen]

predator.

"whats the matter dillon? CIA got you pushing to many pencils?"

[prowla]

Which is the Rambo one where he takes out the giant Russian helicopter with a bazooka?

[freak]

DIE HARD!! its also my favourite christmas movie



* The villain has no redeeming qualities.
allen rickman was great as hans

* Things will be blown up.
the whole tower was pretty much in flames

* Guns will be fired and meaningless characters will be killed.
not alot of hostages were killed, i think there was only one

* The main character won't say much but he will say some catchy things.
mclean had pleanty to say, and alot of catchy things aswell

* A woman or child will be kidnapped.
Holly gets taken hostage

* There will be hand-to-hand combat to prove who is really the toughest.
Mclean fighting the german guy whos brother died because of fighting with mclean earlier...good fight sceen

* Someone will have a very cool vehicle.
the police RV vehicle that gets blown up when they were trying to ram inside the building

[flaming]

The Limo in which Mclean is driven to Nakotomi is also cool.

Yippy Kiay...

I just hope Die hard 4 is good.

[firecoins]

Which is the Rambo one where he takes out the giant Russian helicopter with a bazooka?
3 I think
2 he is in Vietnam

[firecoins]

Conan the Barbarian wasn't mentioned.

The French Connection was excellent but its based on a true story and the acting is good. So it gets eliminated.

American Ninja series. Not much is said at all.

Any Dolph Lundron straight to video movie

[madmike]

i love the movie kickboxer. the villain is ugly, thier things gettin blown up and at the end they fight with gloves with glass shards on!

[Mushroom]

I have recently discovered that this is the best macho movie ever.

SAY! HOOOOO!

[aikiMac]

DIE HARD!! its also my favourite christmas movie
:eek: I totally forgot it was Christmas time in that movie.

[TheDarkJester]

I vote for Predator. Or Jaws. Lets face it... nothing beats a 30 foot shark swimming around eating people. Or grabbing them by the waist and playing whack-a-mole using humans as the mallet and metal buoys as the moles :D

this is not a contest or an opinion theres an answer...its comando

1. some of the dorkest one liners ever
of coarse..ill be back

ray dong....i have an advanced karate class to go to
arnie...you wont make it

ray dong...but you woulnt tell me if you were going to kill me
arnie..sure i would

arnie..in plane ......do disturb my freind he is dead tired
arnie at the cliff....sully this is my weak arm

arnie ....rember when i promissed to kill you last ..i lied



and that doesnt even take in to consideration all the un realistic stuff

1 arnie jumping from a plane
2 arnie swinging across the mall on a piece of cray paper
3 arnie getting in an 80 mile an hour crash with out ...not just a seatbelt...but not even a seat...puts his hand a cross ray and they both get up and walk away!!!!

he thenm lifts a crashed porsh....an drives off in the same porsh that is now in prestine condition

[medi]

I believe Die Hard to be the best action film ever made.



"Now I have a machine gun... ho ho ho"

[mai tai]

"Now I have a machine gun... ho ho ho"
good call

and hollywoood would agree

in fact hollywoood insiders say it changed action movies for a while...and spawned its own genre..

passenger 57...die hard on a plane
under seige...die hard on a boat

[medi]

"Snakes On A Plane" ... Die Hard on a plane.... with Snakes

[Cuchulain4]

[mai tai]

rambo 3...afganistan with rambo helping the afgani "freedom fighters"

[iamraisen]

"time to let off some steam bennett"

[TheDarkJester]

You lose at the interweb

[Mitch]

Although Commando so clearly wins there is little point debating (altogether now, "All I care about now is Chhhhenny"), I have to put in a personal plea for Predator.

Not only does it have the most gratuitous posing shot ever (Arnie and Carl Weathers grip hands in greeting and try to burst each others shirts with their biceps).

Not only does Arnie get some great lines: "You're one ugly motherhubbard of an alien!"

Not only are there bigger guns, knives, mines and other fun toys than you can shake a stick at.

In addition to all this, each character gets his own stupidly over the top macho lines, a personal favourite being:
"You're bleeding!"
"I ain't got time to bleed!"

Mitch

[TheMadhoose]

Without doubt its gotta be First Blood,

[greenlantern]

The Outlaw Josie Wales. Try and count how many people he kills!

YES!!!
God I totally forgot that movie

[airweaver]

its the archetypal big-man-with-big-gun-killing-small-army movie

"Bunch of slack-jawed ******s around here. This stuff'll make you a goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."

"Come on... Come on! Do it! Do it! Come on. Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Come on! Do it now! Kill me!"

and my personal favourite (whats the matter dillon, Cia got you pushing to many pencils)

"Run! Get to the chopper!"

Conan The Barbarian has a lot of those qualities. Though I spose it wouldn't count seen as it was set in a time before guns and explosions. :(

[CanuckMA]

Without doubt its gotta be First Blood,


Gotta disagree. While it's a really good action movie. The movie, and moreso the book on which it is based, is also a potent social commentary on how we treat our soldiers. Read the book. Rambo is a man who's been abandonned. In the book, he doesn't kill anybody. That movie has redeeming social values, a macho movie should not.

sweet....dude your a funny guy....the spelling of chhhenny had me laughing at the computer screen


on the other note predator....does get some credit......what about jessie the body using a gun designed to be mounted on a tank as a personal side arm.

[jsmith]

I can't believe I forgot this one, but how about Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man? The only thing it's missing is a woman/child being kidnapped, but Micky Rourke rescues Don Johnson. Plus, half the people in this movie are named after booze or cigarettes.

"I'd rather be dead and cool than alive and uncool"

[dormindo]

Die Hard is definitely the best that I can think of at the mo, though I do like commando and Predator (favorite line: 'Stick around'). I would like to nominate for a cheesey honorable mention 'Action Jackson', set in my hometown of Detroit. It has got plenty of Carl Weathers gratuitous pec and bicep shots, topless shots of both Sharon Stone and Vanity, and like most macho movies it defies the laws of physics, most notably with Jackson (Weathers) driving a sports car up a flight of stairs while reciting the lines from an ad for said vehicle. My favorite line? 'Now, you've pissed me off!'

paz,

dormindo

p.s.: Needless to say, I think that Action Jackson has no redeeming social qualities whatsoever.

no socal redeaming qualities....what about racial togetherness.....the enjoyment of both caucassian(stone) and afreican american(vanity) boobs.

dr. King would be proud

"lets us not be judged by the color of our skin but by the contour of our breast"

god bless american

[ka7ana]

You gotta add The Transporter to the list!! :D :cool:

[Shadow_of_Evil]

Terminator for sure.
Die Hard sucked the big one.

Now ther's one I'd forgotten, thanks for a nostalgic smile!

Mitch

How about "I'm Gonna Git You Sukka"? Not the same genre really, but it has got Kung Fu Joe, master of Karate, Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu, and all kinds of "stuff" you ain't never heard of!
