Bond out of those listed.
move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

James Bond is the only good one on that list. Resident Evil 1 is the only one that can compete with the lessor Bond movies.

Die Hard had a few good movies and The Fast and the Furious is great in a self aware cheesy kind of way.

In terms of just pure action, Transformers is pretty great, but that's all the series has going for it. Michael Bay is cancer.

James Bond is just stale by now. Although I did like Daniel Craig as James Bond, even if those movies weren't very good.

I think overall I like Underworld the best, but then I'm a fan of dark fantasy and vampires in general.

Shouldn't Indiana Jones be on that list? I'd still vote Bond though.
Yeah but GameFAQs polls don't let you put more than 10 options because they're cuckist.

The Transporter for my main man Statham.

Went with Rambo. But if it was a choice I'd probably have gone with Kickboxer.

Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem.
I didn't realize Kickboxer was a franchise. I thought there's just the original and the reboot last year.

One movie really isn't a franchise

Anyway, surprised Mission Impossible didn't make it
@mcpwnia
Damn how could I forget Mission Impossible. Tom Cruise's hair in those movies is awesome enough.

I might redo this. So, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible. Am I missing any others?
#CuckLivesMatter
Mad Max
I don't really care about any of these. >_>
It's supposed to be HitTheGroundWalking.
Do you even action?
#CuckLivesMatter
I do like Indiana Jones.

I like action, but generally not if it is the main focus of the movie. An aspect of it, yes.
It's supposed to be HitTheGroundWalking.
Well movies like Indiana Jones, Die Hard and the James Bonds usually have a story good enough to entertain during the non-action scenes. Others like the Transformers, F&F and The Expendables movies don't, so they rely entirely on crazy shit, guns blazing explosions fireworks destruction porn constantly to keep you from falling asleep. But they're fun as hell.
#CuckLivesMatter
Lethal Weapon isn't even on the list >_>

Quite honestly, I don't like any of those options all that much. I've enjoyed some of the films, but I wouldn't put any of them in my top 15. I guess out of that list Fast and the Furious probably wins it for me since it doesn't have any films I outright hate. By contrast, there are a few Bond films I love, but some of the old Connery stuff just bores me. I couldn't even make it through Dr. No.

That would have been my number 2 pick.

Two movies. Part 1 and 2.

tbh, I wasn't even sure why Underworld was on the list because I didn't think it was that popular.

007 has no legit competition in this thread.
What would your top 10 look like then? I know I'm blanking on a lot. I was debating whether or not to include Predator.

It's one film split in to two parts because no one wants to sit through a 4 hour movie.

Kill Bill is an American two-part martial arts film series, and the fourth film overall that was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It was originally set to be released as one film, but with a running time of over four hours, it was separated into two films:

What they originally intended doesn't matter because it was released separately as two films with a period breaking them up. More importantly, they've planned to do a third film.

A few just off the top of my head:

Lethal Weapon
Indiana Jones
Rush Hour (number 3 is a turkey, but it's still fun)
Jurassic Park
Beverly Hills Cop

Then, if you count it, Rocky and Alien. Plus Batman, although it's a bit iffier since we've had several versions now. And, after seeing DFoP an Apocalypse, the X-Men franchise is starting to rank up there. Also Lord of the Rings, if that counts.

In general, it's weird to see Underworld and the Transporter there over more popular films. Even Taken seems a better fit.

Tarantino didn't "plan" for a 3rd movie, rumors have just existed about it. In case you haven't noticed he's not really the type to do sequels. He didn't even want it to be 2, it was supposed to be one movie but the studio made him split it so it wasn't 4 hours.

Why are the films two very distinct and separate styles then? Genuine question.

Well it wouldn't exactly be a stretch for Tarantino to have a stylistic change part way through the movie, especially if it was a 4 hour movie. "The Whole Bloody Affair" cut is supposed to be more what he originally wanted, there's a bunch of small changes that I forget, there's more violence, extended fight scenes, extended anime scene, The Crazy 88 fight is is color, and more significantly the reveal at the end of Vol. 1 that her daughter is alive is cut entirely so she doesn't find that out until the end of what would be Vol. 2 when she's standing in front of her. Which personally I enjoy the ending scene a bit more taking it from that perspective.

Well she doesnt find out at the end of volume 1 anyway, the audience does
@mcpwnia
I don't like any of these.

Does Matrix count? Matrix.

Far and away James Bond. Also like dirty Harry. Wouldnt call either action franchises. Of the ones I'd consider action on that list probably Rambo.

It would be a massive stylistic change though. They're completely different genres of film.

Well if we're gonna count comedies than lethal weapon is like Rushhour but good.
