Last action hero and Demolition man are criminally underrated and really are some of the coolest action movies ever. Shoot Em’ up is extremely fun, Dredd is very good and both definitely also deserve a spot on this list. Actually a very good list Watch Mojo, well done
Seen both when they were in theaters and possibly of all, the most beloved movie I've ever seen. Perhaps the best Arnold Schwarzenegger movie (besides "Commando" and "T2") glad to see it on this list 🙂
The Rundown probably started The Rock on his jungle themed action flicks marathon but his performance in it is the most nuanced. He wasn't playing himself, he was playing the character.
It's been on other list, but it's been getting such a cult following it's starting to break that mold (enough that a new one is in the works) Dredd is moving in that direction as well.
I think that this list is missing 🎥 The Rock -1996 A great ⭐️Sean Connery action movie of the prison Alcatraz. This movie came out and disappeared that many people don’t know of it’s existence. This happens to be my favorite movie of the prison Alcatraz.
I would also add Collateral and Edge of Tomorrow. Tom Cruise gave amazing performances in both of those movies and I'm really surprised that they didn't get enough attention. Please, check them out if you want. You won't be disappointed.
@@akfreed6949 No. I am not a scientologist. I am just a person who loves movies and ignores an actor's personal life. Come and put your photo for your profile picture to show us how young you look and you think that your are able to criticize everyone.
"Crank" & its sequel. Also, "The Island", "Surrogates", "Escape From Alcatraz" (1979), Ron Howard's directorial debut, "Grand Theft Auto" (1977), "Silver Streak", "Foul Play", "Quest For Fire" & "The Chase" (1994).
I fucking love The Rundown! The Red movies are also incredibly underrated. Both are an absolute joy to watch. John Malkovich steals every scene he's in.
11:11 I love the Red movies so much, I have all of them on Blu-Ray at home right by me as we speak, wished there was much more recognition to those movies, the trio of Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Marie-Louise Parker, absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥
YES. Demolition man was/is an absolute GEM, and nothing less. Wesley snipes' performance alone makes it a fun ride, along with the action and comedic elements. Has everything
I mean everything under appreciated nowadays. Back then though we seen these movies everyday. Remember watching normal television was a thing…… now we gotta pay for like 9 streaming services to get access to anything.
Great List, WatchMojo!! 🤟 But… you forgot Conan The Barbarian (2011), Crying Freeman (1995), Guyver 2 Dark Hero, The Man With The Iron Fist, Sucker Punch, Bad Boys 2, Terminator 3, Karate Warriors (1976), The Losers (1970), Equilibrium, Hard Target, The Musketeer, Duel To The Death, Tai Chi Master, Legend Of The Fist, & The Protector.
Yeah, though not sure about Demolition Man, but I did enjoy Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix. I do appreciate an intelligent villain who can go from clever to psychotic, it makes them unpredictable and for the record, I believe The Long Kiss Goodnight deserved better than an honorable mention. It's a fantastic film.
“Demolition Man” is very, very good and has actually gotten a lot of future stuff correct. I don’t think that whole Taco Bell thing is going to happen, though. 😂
Agreed with Demolition Man & Ronin. But I think these at least deserve a mention. Drive(1997) Stone Cold(1991) Undisputed II: Last Man Standing(2006) From Paris With Love(2010) The Man From Nowhere(2010) No Tears For The Dead(2014) The Villainess(2017) The Blood Of The Wolves(2018) Last Of The Wolves(2021)
Another underrated Gem is I Come in Peace, Fulltime Killer, The Punisher 1984, Another 48 hours, Split Second, Mandy, Full Eclipse, Dog Soldiers, The Way Of The Gun, Ultimate Versus, Extreme Predjudice, Virtuosity, Dead Bang, Drive Angry, VFW, Dobermann (yes with two n’s) The Man From Nowhere, A Bittersweet Life, The Legend Of Drunken Master, From Paris With Love, man I could go on and on…. I’m just trying to think of some that’ll be easier to find or get access too. Oh and Free Fire is AMAZING.
Demolition Man is a hidden gem that deserves way more attention. It predicted the way people monitor each other and get so hurt over little things, including swear words. Plus, it’s super funny
I wonder if Arnold's cameo was a homage to Robert Patrick's cameo in The Last Action Hero as they both literally occur as the main hero is passing through a crowd of people (only Patrick never once acknowledged Arnold)
(So many underrated action movies that not many people mention about, which also should have made it to the list most of the ones im listing are the ones from the 80s and 90s some that went Direct to Video or were theatrically released which are mostly forgotten, at least for Top 50 of all time) -The Taking of Beverly Hills (1991) with Ken Wahl -Braddock: Missing in Action 3 (1988) and Delta Force 2 (1990) with Chuck Norris -The Perfect Weapon (1991), Street Knight (1993) and Deadly Outbreak (1995) with Jeff Speakman -Excessive Force (1993) with Thomas Ian Griffith -Showdown In Little Tokyo (1991) and Rapid Fire (1992) with Brandon Lee (R.I.P) -Stone Cold (1991) with Brian Bosworth -Avenging Force (1986) with Michael Dudikoff -White Tiger (1996) with Gary Daniels -Only the Strong (1993) and Drive (1997) with Mark Dacascos -Best of the Best Franchise (1989-1998) with Eric Roberts and Phillip Rhee -Red Scorpion (1988), The Punisher (1989), I Come in Peace (1990), and Men of War (1994) also with Dolph Lundgren -Bad Blood aka Viper (1994), Blood For Blood, aka Midnight Man (1995) and Bounty Tracker (1993) with Lorenzo Lamas -Mission of Justice (1992) and Martial Outlaw (1993) with Jeff Wincott -Back in Action (1994) and Tough and Deadly (1995) with Billy Blanks and Roddy Piper The list goes on, I’ve got so many honourable mentions but there is alot to list Would anyone agree with me? 💪💪🔥🔥
Last action hero and Demolition man are great action movies, Ronin is among the best car sequences of all time. I really loved Bourne Identity when released, but I´m getting a bit bored with so many similar been released.
Last Action Hero and The Long Kiss Goodnight. Demolition Man and The Rundown. Shoot Em Up. Judge Dredd (1995). I just can't understand why people didn't like these movies more!
A great list, but I would add a few more to honorable mentions. Kung Fu Hustle, Die Hard with a vengeance, Bloodsport, Passenger 57, and The Scorpion King were all great movies.
I'm only on #6, but I have to say that this seems more like a rundown (haha) of some of the most entertaining action movies. I'm not surprised they are underappreciated, there's no guys in tights with superpowers so far. Ronin still has the most powerful, intense and realistic car chase in cinema in my opinion, it's absurd how good it is.
FX’s The Old Man. All New Thursdays on FX. Stream on Hulu.
6:08 that “ aaaaah ! “ The Wilhelm Scream was actually from SW’s scream from a stormtrooper💁🏻♀️💯became iconic and some hollywood films used it
Oh, not even going to hide being a sellout? Ok.
Last action hero and Demolition man are criminally underrated and really are some of the coolest action movies ever. Shoot Em’ up is extremely fun, Dredd is very good and both definitely also deserve a spot on this list.
Actually a very good list Watch Mojo, well done
Yeah I used to watch demolition man a lot as a kid & recently we watched last action hero. Agree about the other two films as well
These are under appreciated in my opinion as well:
1. Passenger 57
2. Collateral Damage
3. Gladiator (Boxing version)
4. Rapid Fire
5. The Substitute
Thank you
Seen both when they were in theaters and possibly of all, the most beloved movie I've ever seen. Perhaps the best Arnold Schwarzenegger movie (besides "Commando" and "T2") glad to see it on this list 🙂
@@dcoldestjenkins5868 Solid list, but Passenger 57 and Collateral Damage both did very well. Very good movies regardless.
Last action hero was the Deadpool of its time , they broke the 4th wall and it was bad ass
Well said!
The Rundown probably started The Rock on his jungle themed action flicks marathon but his performance in it is the most nuanced. He wasn't playing himself, he was playing the character.
That’s a good movie
Loved The Rundown. One of my favorites.
It's actually called Welcome to the Jungle, I can't believe they got it wrong in this video
At 4:43 here= the best part of that movie! I rewind it every time! I liked the chemistry between Rock and Scott, too!
Last Action Hero was ahead of its times. It bombed and harshly rexeived cause audiences didn't appreciate meta comedy.
I loved that movie when it came out. I was a kid so I didn't know it had bombed or anything. I was surprised to find that out!
@@morteamoureuse Me too. I absolutely loved it.
These are under appreciated in my opinion as well:
1. Passenger 57
2. Collateral Damage
3. Gladiator (Boxing version)
4. Rapid Fire
5. The Substitute
Reason it bombed was they thought they were getting another ARNIE flick. They did, but not the kind they were expecting.
@@thebigbop5866 Well it's not like it was Jingle All the Way bad..
Shoot Em Up isn't for everyone and it broke physics like F&F, but hey, it understands humor better and it never started as something more grounded.
Demolition Man rocks bc Wesley Snipes is basically playing some version of the Joker.
Dredd is so good & demands a sequel. An action film I always enjoyed but never had much attention was Metro with Eddie Murphy.
I loved that movie. "Metro "
Metro definitely underrated
That was great and remember everyone getting their hair with the mini twists after that 🙌🏾
Edge of Tomorrow is so criminally underrated that it didn't even make this list.
It's been on other list, but it's been getting such a cult following it's starting to break that mold (enough that a new one is in the works) Dredd is moving in that direction as well.
It hurts me that EVERY GODDAMN MOVIE that comes out nowadays gets a sequel.
But No DREDD 2
Mr Nice Guy with Jackie Chan is a pretty underappreciated action movie.
Ah I love that one. Even in Jackie Chan movies and his filmography, that is one of the more underrated ones.
„Last action hero“ was great!
What about Equilibrium? A movie so underappreciated it didn't even make the list...
„Shoot them up“ is just a classic! Love it!
Other Clive Owen films that were underappreciated in the action genre were Children of Men and King Arthur and The International.
No one ever mentions surviving the game such an awesome underrated 90s flick never seems to be on streaming either
Yup thats a good one never seen the sequel tho
I think that this list is missing
🎥 The Rock -1996
A great ⭐️Sean Connery action movie of the prison Alcatraz. This movie came out and disappeared that many people don’t know of it’s existence. This happens to be my favorite movie of the prison Alcatraz.
That movie is not under appreciated because it is considered to be Michael Bay’s masterpiece. 🤔
I would also add Collateral and Edge of Tomorrow. Tom Cruise gave amazing performances in both of those movies and I'm really surprised that they didn't get enough attention. Please, check them out if you want. You won't be disappointed.
Urghh, collateral is great but egde of tomorrow is so bad and boring its painful to watch
@@michaelkillerman Your opinion.
I smell a scientologist somewhere . Next we'll hear how young he (REALLY DOESNT) look
@@akfreed6949 No. I am not a scientologist. I am just a person who loves movies and ignores an actor's personal life. Come and put your photo for your profile picture to show us how young you look and you think that your are able to criticize everyone.
"Crank" & its sequel.
Also, "The Island", "Surrogates",
"Escape From Alcatraz" (1979),
Ron Howard's directorial debut,
"Grand Theft Auto" (1977),
"Silver Streak", "Foul Play",
"Quest For Fire" & "The Chase" (1994).
These are under appreciated in my opinion as well:
1. Passenger 57
2. Collateral Damage
3. Gladiator (Boxing version)
4. Rapid Fire
5. The Substitute
Escape from Alcatraz and Silver Streak aren't mainly action.
I love RED!!!! The concept, the fight choreography, the humor... *chef's kiss* I really liked Wanted too.
I fucking love The Rundown! The Red movies are also incredibly underrated. Both are an absolute joy to watch. John Malkovich steals every scene he's in.
Honorable mentions:
Last man standing
Street kings
Unknown
Hardcore henry
Another great action movie, if you can find it, is Rapid Fire (it stars Brandon Lee). Very underrated.
11:11 I love the Red movies so much, I have all of them on Blu-Ray at home right by me as we speak, wished there was much more recognition to those movies, the trio of Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Marie-Louise Parker, absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥
YES. Demolition man was/is an absolute GEM, and nothing less. Wesley snipes' performance alone makes it a fun ride, along with the action and comedic elements. Has everything
I would’ve had all of the honorable mentions on the actual lists because they were fantastic 🤗
Midnight Run deserves a place on the list
Please include "No Escape"... A classic featuring the late GREAT Ray Liotta! An awesome prison island epic.
Demolition Man is definitely underrated
What about Leon?
Leon and another movie from around that same time period Falling Down. Great classic movies
Upgrade was one of the best Sci-fi movies of all-time, tbh. Had an amazing ending, too
I mean everything under appreciated nowadays. Back then though we seen these movies everyday. Remember watching normal television was a thing…… now we gotta pay for like 9 streaming services to get access to anything.
David Leitch should direct TRANSFORMERS
He's more than perfect for the job
Great List, WatchMojo!! 🤟
But… you forgot Conan The Barbarian (2011), Crying Freeman (1995), Guyver 2 Dark Hero, The Man With The Iron Fist, Sucker Punch, Bad Boys 2, Terminator 3, Karate Warriors (1976), The Losers (1970), Equilibrium, Hard Target, The Musketeer, Duel To The Death, Tai Chi Master, Legend Of The Fist, & The Protector.
These are under appreciated in my opinion as well:

2. Collateral Damage
3. Gladiator (Boxing version)
4. Rapid Fire
5. The Substitute
@@dcoldestjenkins5868 Gladiator (the boxing version) how could I forget that! Lol! 😂
I’ll look up to Rapid Fire. It seems better than The Crow. 🤩
The Protector with tony Jaa is so good

@@laustcawz2089 which is?
@@christianparrish6647
1969's "Bambi Meets Godzilla",
Marv Newland's minimalist masterpiece.
Yeah, though not sure about Demolition Man, but I did enjoy Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix. I do appreciate an intelligent villain who can go from clever to psychotic, it makes them unpredictable and for the record, I believe The Long Kiss Goodnight deserved better than an honorable mention. It's a fantastic film.
Demolition man is a classic
Anyone else think that Dredd was one of the reasons that Karl Urban got the part of Billy Butcher in The Boys?💯
Ive liked karl urban since the old xena and Hercules series hes an underated actor. He fn great in the boys
“Demolition Man” is very, very good and has actually gotten a lot of future stuff correct. I don’t think that whole Taco Bell thing is going to happen, though. 😂
Equilibrium is a great underrated action with Christian Bale and taye diggs. feels like a matrix-styled movie
100% agree!
Judge Dredd and Demolition Man are two of my all time favs. Most of these I never even heard of.
Equilibrium is also criminally underrated these days. I also think Dredd could easily have been #1. I never get tired of watching that movie.
Ronin is such a great under appreciated action film.
I was amazed that so many of my favourite movies ended up on this list. Too bad if these are considered underappreciated movies.
These are under appreciated in my opinion as well:
1. Passenger 57
2. Collateral Damage
3. Gladiator (Boxing version)
4. Rapid Fire
5. The Substitute
I absolutely love both Demolition Man and Shoot 'em Up. 2 great action films.
You should add “Crank” to this, and more importantly ALL 80’s action flicks!
13 assasins (Takashi miike), Supercop (Jackie chan), The man from nowhere
Original Gangstas and Behind Enemy Lines (Orion Pictures) are favorites of mine among previously established classics
Original Gangtas! Lol! 😂
I'd rank "COBRA" 1986 and The Punisher 89' as Underated Action Flicks
YES YES YES, love number 1. Maybe my favourite film of the last decade. Great choice.
Agreed with Demolition Man & Ronin. But I think these at least deserve a mention.
Drive(1997)
Stone Cold(1991)
Undisputed II: Last Man Standing(2006)
From Paris With Love(2010)
The Man From Nowhere(2010)
No Tears For The Dead(2014)
The Villainess(2017)
The Blood Of The Wolves(2018)
Last Of The Wolves(2021)
From Paris with love and no tears for the dead hell yeah. A company man is really good too
Another underrated Gem is I Come in Peace, Fulltime Killer, The Punisher 1984, Another 48 hours, Split Second, Mandy, Full Eclipse, Dog Soldiers, The Way Of The Gun, Ultimate Versus, Extreme Predjudice, Virtuosity, Dead Bang, Drive Angry, VFW, Dobermann (yes with two n’s) The Man From Nowhere, A Bittersweet Life, The Legend Of Drunken Master, From Paris With Love, man I could go on and on…. I’m just trying to think of some that’ll be easier to find or get access too. Oh and Free Fire is AMAZING.
It's not even mentioned that the actress that plays Cersei in Game of Thrones is a bad ass villain in Dredd
Ronin was the first vhs tape I bought. Still one of my favorites
I saw Snake Eyes with Henry Golding it was a good story with great action unfortunately it wasn’t well received definitely underrated
I liked Bojan Bazelli's cinematography
Except for the shaky cam
Robert Schwentke was the right director for the wrong movie
Last Action Hero and The Long Kiss Goodnight. I just can't understand why people didn't like these movies more!
Always liked them
Its such a fucking crime that Dredd never got any sequels
8:45 UPGRADE was so amazing!!
Last action hero was great. Smokin Aces is another underrated flick.
The long kiss goodnight is one of my personal favorites. Another great video mojo.
I love the part about how we all secretly love Stallones Judge Dredd.
I don't make it a secret though😁
I still think Olympus has Fallen is one of the most criminally underrated action movies out there.
Demolition Man is a hidden gem that deserves way more attention. It predicted the way people monitor each other and get so hurt over little things, including swear words. Plus, it’s super funny
I absolutely love The Guest!!!😍😍😍
The guest made number one!? That movie is amazing, and soundtrack kicks ass!
request: top 10 or 20 underrated comedy movies.
11:21 pleased that showed up. Awsome soundtrack by the chemical brothers
Great list! Even the honorable mention where gems too
Demolition Man is one of my all time favorite films

It was awesome

Would anyone agree with me? 💪💪🔥🔥
Dredd was made for 3D, that's why all the slow motion effect scenes
Demolition man and big trouble in little china.. could watch these 2 flicks everyday for the rest of my life 🤩
The long kiss goodnight is criminally under appreciated. Davis's acting is tremendous as well as Sam Jackson. Great action film.
Oh hell, it's the Wilhelm scream in that one clip with the guy in a noose.
Equilibrium, Wanted, and Coldbloded (1995) would all make my list. Dredd should be number 1
Last action hero and Demolition man are great action movies, Ronin is among the best car sequences of all time. I really loved Bourne Identity when released, but I´m getting a bit bored with so many similar been released.
"Ronin" is an absolute masterpiece
"Atomic Blonde" on the other hand is not - but I have to admit that staircase scene was absolutely stunning.
These are under appreciated in my opinion as well:
1. Passenger 57
2. Collateral Damage
3. Gladiator (Boxing version)
4. Rapid Fire
5. The Substitute
Rapid Fire . Brandon fought like his dad in that one
Forgetting about action alone, Ronin is by far the best movie on here. Best car chases ever, great tough guys, fast plot.
The Rundown is such a fun movie and my favorite movie with the rock
Missed some classics: Red Heat; The Long Kiss Goodnight; Striking Distance; Enemy at the Gates; Navy SEALS; The Negotiator; Spy Game; Tango and Cash.
Demolition Man is not a movie. It's a documentary.
Atomic Blonde needs a sequel
Shoot em up is like adventures in babysitting on steroids
Interesting! We'll have to check those movies out!
Last Action Hero and The Long Kiss Goodnight. Demolition Man and The Rundown. Shoot Em Up. Judge Dredd (1995). I just can't understand why people didn't like these movies more!
I liked all of them and if you haven't seen the guest then watch it you will be blown away 🔥🤯😎
You showed the most memorable scene in the Guest, the grenades exploding to Stevie B
Funhaus would've love seeing this list mention demolition man
Where's Equibrum?
A great list, but I would add a few more to honorable mentions. Kung Fu Hustle, Die Hard with a vengeance, Bloodsport, Passenger 57, and The Scorpion King were all great movies.
Robert Schwentke is a quite decent director
I just don't understand why he pitches crappy movies like INSURGENT, RIPD or even SNAKE EYES
