Taken was from 2008.

[Tapeworm]

Taken was from 2008.

Near the top of my list for Films Everyone Liked And I Thought Were Dog Shit.

I've got to be wrong on this.  Everyone liked it.  But it was dogshit.

[Kwon_2]

Snake was my favorite too back in the day.

[Kwon_2]

No Tang Lung from the 1972-movie Měng Lóng Guò Jiāng?



No John Stone from Stone Cold (1991)?

[MORTALCOIL]

You're not alone. Could never get Liam Neeson as an action star. Specially when he went that road in his mid-50s. Van Damne should be starring in the next David Lynch movie then.

[SuperTed]

Barney the Dinosaur.

[the trainer]

Danny is one of the most intimidating action stars.

Jack Sparrow is intimidating?  lol

[Tapeworm]

Idk how many of those they made but Depp had to be sick of poncing around by the end of it all. 

I like his stuff.  Transcendence was was great, although just one nod in the direction of Max Headroom would have been nice.

Been meaning to see Trancendence.

[OneMoreRep]

Danny is one of the most intimidating action stars.

......ss well as one of the ugliest action stars.

"1"

[Redux]

This list is absolutely useless unless Chuck Mother Fuckin' Norris is number 1.

Good pace, no Deppy arthouse pretention (Dead Man, which I liked too), budget for some booms, but still presented plenty of timeless questions and a few modern ones.  Definitely worthwhile.

[wolfrittner]

Snake was my favorite too back in the day.

Snake was the man. All he cares is to survive and get the job done.

[Royalty]

There is a GLARING oversight on that list...

[bradistani]

Danny is one of the most intimidating action stars.

probably cos he's the only one who could.. and would (if you gave him cause to), fuck your shit up with thoses machetes in real life.

I loved that movie! lol

I used to see him at The Firehouse restaurant all the time. Looks even scarier in real life. But was always very cool.

[thebrink]

Manny , without a doubt. Thats if you consider him an action star. Baddest guy ever to be put in a film either way.

Great  movie.

[Submissionfytr]

Agree with others:
Chuck Norris is literally 1-10
Danny Trejo needs mention as well as the Boz for Stone Cold
Arnie as Matrix in Commando has to be mentioned
