Badass Movies

Submitted by Fruitlutz5 t3_yed6as in movies

What are some of your favorite movies that are badass. And not the cheesy kind because they’re trying to hard to be badass, just straight up badass movies. (i.e. Sicario or Heat) I’m just in the mood for a movie like this and want to see if people have suggestions other than ones I’ve seen a bunch of times.

Edit: thanks for all the suggestions everyone

The Protector, Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior

Edit: also basically any movie with Jackie Chan. Supercop and junk are great too

Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we’re not back by dawn… call the president.

Loved that movie as a kid. Took me years to realize that Wang is the hero. Jack F's up at almost every turn. Now I love it even more, lol.

DrunkenOlympian t1_iu0ex1t wrote

Yep Jack is totally a parody of the typical American action hero and yet I still love that guy. Wang and Egg Shen are total bosses.

How'd you get up there, Egg?

Wasn't easy!

Sicario definitely, but honestly, Halloween 2018. If you like the way the director crafted the scenes to get peak intensity in Sicario, Halloween 2018 has that palpable intensity as well. Obviously a different genre and experience but really just has some captivating scenes in my opinion. David Gordon Green is awesome.

You’re Next is another good one for pure intensity. Drive as well.

Let me know what you think! It’s a horror movie so it’s not everyones cup of tea but to me it always felt more like a trippy crime thriller.

Yeah I’m not much of a horror guy myself but I’ll give it a shot

I always felt like an underrated badass movie was Quigley Down Under. It’s like an 1890’s Diehard movie.
