Action/exploitation recs?

[The Mothman]

If you know me, you know i like my action movies.
I like bad ass, take no prisoners type action movies.

and I have a feeling that there might be a large action/exploitation sub genre out there that I dont know about. I stumbled upon this whilst scrolling through xploitedcinema.com's exploitation section.

DSCHUNGELRATTEN PART 2 - BLACK WARRIOR
http://www.dvduncut.com/images/Dschungel-Ratten.jpg
http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/dschungelratten-part-black-warrior-p-13271.html
now there's probably no one on here who's heard about this film, let alone seen it, but it looks like the kind of thing Im looking for. probably pretty low budg, but i have no problem with that. in not exactly looking for backyard budget, but i can deal with pretty damn low budget.

Every once and i while a stumble upon a movie like this. i found this old dusty VHS in the basement of my school.

http://mtceuropavideo.com/americancommandos.jpg
looks pretty awesome, no? sadly, it wasnt. It had the right idea, hours of nonstop action, but it didnt have much heart, i spaced out through the majority of it.

As you see the covers of these two films, i think you might get the right idea. Im looking for No holds bar violent action movies. can anyone help me out with some suggestions?

[The Mothman]

don't leave me hanging.

[Roderick Usher]

Invasion U.S.A.
Silent Rage
Stone Cold (w/Brian Bosworth!)

[urgeok2]

i was never a big fan of those movies ... from time to time they are fun .. but most of them never live up to their covers.

as far as i'm concerned ... Shoot 'em Up is the best one ever made.

[_____V_____]

I remember watching Equalizer 2000 and Invasion USA and digging for movies like Instant Justice, No Retreat No Surrender, Death Before Dishonor etc. etc.

Plenty of old school VHS memories...

[The Mothman]

Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming. Invasion USA is sweet, exactly the kinda thing i'm looking for.

Anyone seen this?

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VRSFK23DL._SS500_.jpg

just found out Death Before Dishonor tape goes for 1 cent on amazon.....lemme say that again. ONE CENT. you cant go wrong with that.

[The Mothman]

Stone Cold (w/Brian Bosworth!)
that sounds awesome. Lance Henriksen, William Forsythe, and Brain Bosworth?
i came across the user review,

"Armed with an indestrucible double mullet (that's where you have a blonde mullet growing out of a brown one) Joe Tough, excuse me I mean, Joe Huff removes his shirt and infiltrates The Brotherhood a murderous group of gun-runnin', drug dealin' Nazi bikers that are out to rid the world of bathing. "


^^^YES^^^

[The Mothman]

I think I'm straying away from the exploitation subgenre of action movies, but speaking of Brain Bosworth, how's One Man's Justice?
from a consumer review off of Amazon:

"Bosworth is surrounded by about 4 or 5 guys, he throws a bag on the floor, pulls out a cell phone and calls 911 and says, "i'm gonna need (starts counting) 5 bodybags!" LOL!!!!!!!!!!

then beats the crap out of all of them."

I didn't see that one, but it sounds sweet. Stone Cold kicks ass. It's terrible, but awesome.

for more expliotation/action, try
The Doll Squad
Alley Cat
Rolling Thunder

Eddie Romero's Black Mama, White Mama, with Pam Grier.

great suggestions, these are specifically the kind im looking for. Avenging Force was also one of the old VHS's I found in the basement of my old school, never grabbed it though, sadly.

[_____V_____]

Some of Dudikoff's films were great fun to watch. He did some shitty ones too though.

[_____V_____]

One of my favorites from the 80s. See if you can hunt this down...

I haven't seen much of his stuff outside of the American Ninja flicks which are essential viewing!

I've been meaning to check out Runaway Train. Might hire it this weekend. Quite a different vehicle for Cannon films really.

Another rec:

I'm sure more will come to me.

Been wanting to check this one out:

Midnight Ride is a good one. Check that out.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21VYE7GB5CL._SL500_AA140_.jpg

I dont remember others. Will post them when they come to me.

Yep its really good. I really dug the atmosphere and acting in that one. Some powerful stuff between Roberts and Voight. And a kickass climactic sequence to boot.

...anyone seen it?

Saw it long ago. Dont remember much except that it was very similar to Missing in Action and Carradine looked pretty badass in it.

And re: Cannon - they did some pretty average stuff which werent handled by Golam-Globus. I thought those two were Cannon's best filmmakers.

[Elvis_Christ]

Sam Firstenberg is my favorite director when it comes to the Cannon stuff. Joseph Zito did some great stuff too. But yeh there were a bunch of average flicks brought out by some of their directors especially during the 90s.

I'll move onto Dudikoff after I've watched all the Van Damme and Seagal flicks I've yet to see.

[CryptKeeper13]

http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp103/Mrhappy229/Cherry2000.jpg
Watched this about a year ago. It's a fun one that fits in here.

[CryptKeeper13]

Also Savage streets is great I just watched that last month.

[Elvis_Christ]

I've been looking out for a tape of Cherry 2000 for ages. I didn't like it as kid but I'd totally enjoy the fuck out of it these days.

[Elvis_Christ]

Also Savage streets is great I just watched that last month.

Hells yeh! Love it to death. It's good its finally seen the light of day on DVD. I really need to pick it up

[CryptKeeper13]

Yes I picked it up and it's every bit as fun as you could imagine. The interviews are hilarious. Here is another one....

i watched the trailer for that some time ago, heard good things about it.




This one comes highly recommended from me, completely different than the other Death Wish films, and absurdly awful. good fun.

omg both of these look so bad ass.

[CryptKeeper13]

I love this thread so much I'm going to find more movies and suggest them. I have some in mind I just need to find the movie poster. Because of the movies I've found on this thread it has provided entertainment for the next 2 weeks. I love it. PS I heard there is an attempted castration of Rowdy Roddy in Hell Comes to Frog Town which means hilarity in its greatest form.

[The Mothman]

How fucking awesome does this look?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51U1vvGF5EL._SS500_.jpg
anyone seen/heard of this?

haha hell yes! I used to own this on VHS when I was a wee lad it's every bit as great as you could imagine.

[CryptKeeper13]

http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp103/Mrhappy229/robot_jox_ver2.jpg
They have a best of clip on youtube and it's great. The claymation robots just add to the greatness that is robot jox.

[Elvis_Christ]

Robotjox looks fucking great! Another one I never got round to seeing back when it came out.

Haha Thunder In Paradise I totally forgot about that till you mentioned it. Caught a few episodes but my memory is foggy... big fan of No Holds Barred

http://www.dearwinona.com/no_holds_barred.jpg

[CryptKeeper13]

My personal favorite Hulk Hogan movie was Suburban Comando but I only vaguely remember seeing No Holds Barred I will definitely have to check it out again. But here is another I thought looked pretty good.
http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp103/Mrhappy229/fight_life.jpg

[Elvis_Christ]

Fight For Your Life is totally killer. In fact I'd go as far as saying it's essential viewing. Great Blaxploitation/Revenge crossover flick. This must've broke the record for racial slurs used in a movie :)

I love how BU really give these kinda films definitive releases.

Yeah I think we need to start a FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE fanclub - i love that film..

[Elvis_Christ]

Haha yeh dude! :cool:

You'd have the original tape I'm guessing?

[CryptKeeper13]

Yes I will definitely be checking that one out then

[Ferox13]

Haha yeh dude! :cool:

You'd have the original tape I'm guessing?

Naw I wish - that was hard to find.

I do have an old 1st gen bootleg on vhs some where.

[Elvis_Christ]

The uncut version was pretty hard to track down. It's weird nowdays people don't really have to hunt out a lot of this stuff its just sitting on the shelves on DVD.

[The Mothman]

Here's a couple that looked good. anyone seen them?

CELLAT...CELLAT...CELLAT

A Turkish Death Wish indeed.....blatant rip-off but probably amusing as hell.

[The Mothman]

and limited to only 500 copies apparently, I think i might get one while I still can.

[Elvis_Christ]

Deathstalker fuckin' rules. One of the better fantasy flicks... chessy as hell but a lot of fun.

I, The Jury is meant to be dope. Never got round to hiring it while tapes were still floating around and haven't struck it on DVD.

[The Mothman]

Check this one out, great blaxploitation flick, with a great cast. its got Jim Brown, Richard Roundtree, and Fred Williamson (who is exceedingly badass in this movie.)

That one's not to bad. I preferred Three the Hard Way

http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/allposters/mg/200826.jpg

Especially for the scene where Jim Kelly beats the fuck out of heaps of cops.

[The Mothman]

Haha great tagline on that one, I will have to check it out.
