John McTiernan’s claustrophobic action masterpiece Die hard created the “Die hard on a … “subgenre:”Die hard in a bus,” “Die hard on a plane,” “Die hard at the White House ”, and so on. – a lone hero foils a villainous plot in a recognizable sort of confined space (originally a skyscraper).

Two decades after the role of Han Solo made him a star, Harrison Ford played the most badass fictional US president of all time in Air Force One, which could be nicknamed “Die hard on the president’s plane.

9 Liam Neeson – Taken (2008)

With historic roles like Oskar Schindler and Michael Collins, Liam Neeson went on to become one of the most acclaimed dramatic actors of the 1990s. In 2008, nearly a decade after playing Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in The phantom menace, Neeson reinvented himself as an action hero in Taken.

8 Andy Serkis – Black Panther (2018)



Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue in Black Panther

Although he is best known for his motion capture performances as Gollum, Caesar and King Kong, Andy Serkis played the role of Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star wars sequel trilogy. Before being reconsidered as a creation of the Emperor himself, Snoke was intended as a superficial imitation of Palpatine. He also spent all of his screen time seated on a throne, wasting Serkis’ talents as a physical artist.

Not all Serkis roles are computer generated. The actor’s most prominent live-action role is side villain Ulysses Klaue in Black Panther, first nominee for Best Picture from Marvel Studios.


seven Carl Weathers – Predator (1987)

Carl Weathers recently joined the Star wars universe in the supporting role of Greef Karga, the leader of the guild of the bounty hunters, in The Mandalorian. Weathers is best known for playing Apollo Creed in the Rocky films, but Karga isn’t her first iconic sci-fi role.

In 1987, Carl Weathers appeared alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura in the Muscular Ensemble of Predator. The story revolves around a band of mercenaries hunted through an exotic jungle by a ruthless alien visitor.


6 Oscar Isaac – In the Car (2011)



The visually stunning neo-noir gem of Nicolas Winding Refn To drive stars Ryan Gosling as a brooding, nameless escape driver. Star wars‘Oscar Isaac provides strong support as an ex-convict who hires him on a robbery that goes horribly wrong.

After his trailers introduced him as the next Fast Furious, some viewers complained that To drive did not have enough action. Admittedly, the action scenes are rare. But the film’s handful of action sequences are impeccably crafted. The car chases are visceral and engaging, and the fight scenes are shockingly brutal.


5 Samuel L. Jackson – The Long Kiss Good Night (1996)



The Long Kiss Good Night - Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson

Shane Black is arguably the most revered screenwriter working in the action genre. One of his most underrated scripts is The long kiss Good night, an action buddy starring Geena Davis as a former CIA amnesiac assassin and Mace Windu actor Samuel L. Jackson as a private investigator, helping him find out his past.

Davis and Jackson anchor the film with impeccable onscreen chemistry, while director Renny Harlin manages a nice balance of heart, humor and action.


4 Natalie Portman – Leon: The Professional (1994)

Half a decade before playing Padmé in the Star wars prequel trilogy, 12-year-old Natalie Portman made her big screen debut in Leon: the professional. Jean Reno plays the role of the titular assassin, while Portman plays an orphan whom he takes under his wing and trains a killer.

Gary Oldman’s Norman Stansfield is an unforgettable sadistic and oddly wordy villain, while writer-director Luc Besson’s quirky sense of humor is undeniable.




3 Billy Dee Williams – Batman (1989)

After Lando Calrissian’s role made him a star, Billy Dee Williams was cast to play Gotham’s favorite lawyer Harvey Dent in Tim Burton’s groundbreaking comic blockbuster. Batman.

Sadly, he didn’t turn into Two-Face in the movie (and when Two-Face hit the big screen, Williams was recast). But overall, the years 1989 Batman is a spectacular film that still stands today. Michael Keaton is the definitive Bruce Wayne and Jack Nicholson is a delightfully wacky Joker.


2 Iko Uwais – The Raid (2011)



Iko Uwais in The Raid

Iko Uwais has been massively underutilized in the force awakens. He only appears in one scene and doesn’t even practice martial arts. The actor is capable of more, as Gareth Evans’ intense action thriller proves Lowering.

Highlighting the Indonesian martial art of Pencak Silat, Lowering features a cast of actors who are also gifted martial artists, giving the gory fight sequences a rarely seen sense of realism. The larger-scale sequel, released in 2014, is also a must-see action movie masterpiece.


1 Harrison Ford – Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)



Harrison Ford has starred in too many classic action movies to make this list just once. After Ford turned one of Lucas’ luscious creations into an icon in Star wars, he does it again with the role of Indiana Jones in The Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Ford’s charismatic performance, eye-catching orchestrations by John Williams, episodic and lively script by Lawrence Kasdan, old-fashioned set direction by Steven Spielberg and the impressive work of a dedicated stunt team combined to make Raiders a timeless cornerstone of action cinema.
