revenge films

[The Mothman]

this is a post i made in the Last Seen Movie thread, it didnt get any replies so i thought i might make a thread out of it. here was the post.

"oh yeah, what im looking for is a movie where the hero gets a shit load of revenge, the hero is a total bad ass, and the hero fucks eveyone up hardcore. best example ive seen yet is Wake Of Death. Its kinda what i was expecting for oldboy..you know.."15 years of imprisonment, 5 days of vengeance". really kinda ended up 1 day of vengeance and four days of figuring out shit.

I know, those type of movies are usually pretty generic, but i just love them so much. anyy sugestions?"

[paws the great]

Payback (1999)
The Exterminator
Death Wish 1 & 2
Man on Fire

[Posher778]

Double Jeopardy

[paws the great]

Kill Bill 1 & 2
Mad Max :D

[joshaube]

The Hills Have Eyes (06)
Kill Bill (definitely!)
Lady Vengeance
AND ALSO... Crank :)

[The_Return]

Double Jeopardy

Ashley Judd doesnt exactly qualify as "a total bad ass"

Not a bad movie though...

[Posher778]

OMFG I LEFT OUT MY FAVORITE FILM. lol


KillBill

[The Mothman]

The Hills Have Eyes (06)


perfect example

[The Mothman]

Payback (1999)


payback really sounds awesome. i think im gonna get it

[Spec7ral]

invasion usa
commando

[Posher778]

Robo Cop is another good one.

[urgeok]

oldboy is definately a revenge film.

[The Mothman]

oldboy is definately a revenge film.

never said it wasnt a revenge film...just kinda doesnt end up the way i wanted it too. some revenge...but not enough. let down ending.

[paws the great]

Dead Man's Shoes is a good revenge flick.

[The Mothman]

Dead Man's Shoes is a good revenge flick.
it looks good. so is the dude in the film a total badass or no?

[paws the great]

Mothman,Dead Man's Shoes is a little slow,and it has very little blood or gore,but it is still a good flick.

dont really care 'bout blood and gore, but it is important for it to be well paced.

[joshaube]

Mad Max
Memento
The Count of Monte Cristo
Man on Fire
The Punisher
Death Wish

[Roderick Usher]

Memento - wonderful exploration of the futility of revenge

[The Mothman]

Memento - wonderful exploration of the futility of revenge

excellent film.

[paws the great]

The Punisher (1990)- Dolph Lundgren is a mean ass vigilante in this one.:D
I think the DVD of this is out of print.:(

The Punisher (2004)- Buy the extended cut of this.

[joshaube]

My Walmart had about 15 copies of it on sale for 5.00$ during Boxing Day Sale Week, so I think it's still in print... but I can't be sure.

[urgeok]

i wasnt replying to anything you said (i didnt see anyone else even mention it)

it was a double revenge film .. revenge for the bad guy and revenge for the good guy ..

[The Mothman]

ah. i never looked at it that way.

[XtRaVa]

Kill Bill. All 3 of the revenge trilogy by Chan-wook Park (especially Oldboy as you have already seen). Crank :D Payback.

Also thinking about it, Unbreakable is a good one. He's not exactly inacting revenge for anything done to him, but at the end when you realise hes hard as fuck and kills an evil bastard, its a powerful scene.

[makemebad]

a history of violence
the boondock saints

[urgeok]

when you think about it - 90% of horror films are revenge films ..
they almost always end with the skinny babysitter fighting for survival, then getting the kill shot in 'for all of her dead friends'

[The Mothman]

a history of violence


not much of a revenge film really.

[The Mothman]

so...about sympathy for mr. vengeance..

does it has fight scenes styled kinda lke the one in oldboy? because i was crazy about that scene.

infact, is there any movie you would suggest that has a bunch of gritty fight scenes kinda like that one?

[Spec7ral]

sympathy for mr and lady: neither have fight scenes comprable to oldboy.

if you want highly stylized fight scenes try equilibrium and kung fu hustle

kung fu hustle is a comedy isnt it?

equillibrium was awesome no doubt.

[Elvis_Christ]

Point Blank.... Lee Marvin is bad assed in that fucker.
Old school Steven Seagal flicks are pretty decent for that kinda thing especially Out For Justice.

[Spec7ral]

yeah KFH is a comedy, but it has some cool fight scenes and stuff, really enjoyable flick to watch if youre in the mood for something light.

ill have to checl point blank out...cant stand segal though.:p
idk. i just dont like the guy.

[Elvis_Christ]

Yeh Stevie is a chump but Out For Justice is fuckin' dope!

....I forgot to mention The Exterminator and Angel Of Vengeance (Ms .45)

the exterminator...ive heard mixed things. good doses of action?

[swiss tony]

ransom, starring sugar tits himself.

[Despare]

Thriller: A Cruel Picture
(AKA They Call Her One Eye)

It's decent; really bad shit happens, girl gets pissed, kills lots of people in slow motion. There's some hardcore sex scenes in the unrated version so steer clear if you're offended.

[urgeok]

it doesnt have a ton of action compared to films now - but it has that gritty 70's exploitation feel that a lot of people dig.

i like the movie ...but not for the action ..

(AKA They Call Her One Eye)

This is one of the rare instances in which the edited version is the superior film. A Cruel Picture is too long and the hardcore sex is soooo not hot. The Edited version They Call her One Eye is quite a bit shorter - and as a result, the pacing fits and the story. Cool, fun, gory shit.

I agree, the uncensored version is like a BAD porn inside of a cool movie.

[The Mothman]

so in the edited version did they ONLY take out the porn, or did they take out some gore too?
every single time i bring up an exploitation film on Amazon, that one comes up in the suggsetions.

CUTS:

R0 America - (Synapse Films - Vengeance Edition) - This version removes all the XXX-scenes and the "eyeball sequence" is now shorter.

R0 LE America - (Synapse Films) - Fully uncut, and includes e.g. all the XXX-scenes.

[paws the great]

I have the uncut version of Thriller.

Christina Lindberg is so hot in this flick. :D
But you get a body double in the porn scenes.:mad:

thanks....whta does the "Eyeball sequence" consist of. Im wondering if its something i dont wanna miss.

[gracie]

Can't believe no one mentioned the two classics, I spit on your grave and Last house on the left. Also Hostel has a bit of revenge.
My favourite at the moment is Man on Fire.

[The_Return]

Also Hostel has a bit of revenge.

Only redeeming part of that movie IMO.

I was just about to type in Spit & Last House.........thanks...now I have nothing to contribute......as usual

[crabapple]

Twisted Brain aka Horror High...

Fun horror revenge movie in which the revenge stuff is actually frighteningly extreme. And it's got this 70's electric rock score that seems to give it all an extra edge.

[newb]

I thought of another one

Unforgiven

[Elvis_Christ]

Slaughter High!

[slasherman]

I spit on your grave..
Commando

[paws the great]

Revenge ( Kevin Costner & Madeleine Stowe)


This film has a great love story and some good action.:)

[The_Return]

Bruiser

I know you're a big gorehound Mothman...in that respect you'll be sorely disapointed in this one. However the "hero" is about as badass as it gets...you'd love it.

[knife_fight]

Slaughter High!

ha! I was gonna mention this little turd too.

also, High Plains Drifter is a good one.

[gracie]

Mothers Day

[roshiq]

............Blood spot, Walk of Death, Hard Target .......

[paws the great]

............Blood spot, Walk of Death, Hard Target .......



Blood Sport

Wake of Death


:D

[paws the great]

............Blood spot, Walk of Death, Hard Target .......



Hard Target is a fun flick.It's one of my favorite John Woo films.:)

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

The Crow

(and sequels)

[paws the great]

The Crow

(and sequels)



The Crow is great.


The sequels not so great.:)

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

The Crow is great.


The sequels not so great.:)

figured I'd mention them because most of the movies mentioned in this thread are crappy. :)

you're a poopy person.;)

[Vodstok]

also, High Plains Drifter is a good one.

About godamn time someone mentioned that one...

For a few Dollars more. Lee Van Cleef's character was all about the revenge.
Pale Rider.

virtuosity has an element of revenge in it, the guy who killed Denzel's rfamily is an active element in Sid 6.7

Some personal favorites:
Robocop
The Crow
The Hills Have Eyes (06)
Man on Fire

Damnit, Im drawing a blank...

[gracie]

Van Damme's "Wake of Death" was an ok revenge flick.

[bloodrayne]

I Spit On Your Grave is always the first movie I think of when I think of a 'revenge' movie

There's also Long Kiss Goodnight, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Craft, Firestarter and all of those "They treated me like shit in school so now I'm gonna kill all the popular kids" (Carrie) movies...Oh but that's the flipside of what I think you're talking about...

[The Mothman]

Van Damme's "Wake of Death" was an ok revenge flick.

van damme just oozes badass in this movie
