The 10 Best Action Movies For Fans Of Fight Choreography

When she’s not fighting, Marion is often stuck with people who want to take advantage of her. Pirate captain Katanga even saves her life by claiming she’s a sex slave to be sold. To be fair, Marion is the series’ best female lead but given her role in Raiders of the Lost Ark Beginner guide Ark, the bar’s set pretty


I'm afraid I might disappoint you. It's very much the same thing. Steven doesn't give any acting direction - that is, he doesn't talk about [it]. He expects you to have done your research; to have done the background stuff. He's not going to tell you what you should be thinking as a character at this point in time. What he will say while you're working is, "Look right, look left" because he's looking at what the visual looks like. It's the great thing about somebody who knows their job so well. Once somebody who knows their jobs so well makes a choice, then you just go with it. And that was always apparent with him. It would be breathtaking: you'd come on the set, expecting to do a scene which in the script is a small scene in a tent - a small scene between me and Anthony Higgins and Wolf Kahler, which was set in a tent. When I got to the set, it was an enormous valley. It was a construction site. People with donkeys and ladders carrying sand around, as though they were building the pyramids. And that was entirely Steven leading with his vis


As the children who have grown up loving Indy have aged, so too has their ability to peel away at some of the series' racially problematic elements. One of these elements is the insensitive makeup jobs of various characters, seen in set-pieces like the bar gunfight in Nepal and the Cairo ch


Finally, a lone man pushes the crate through an enormous warehouse, disappearing among the thousands of similar-looking crates, creating one of the greatest and most mysterious ending shots of all t


Steven Spielberg doles out new information with every shot in the opening scene of Jurassic Park , slowly building up the suspense. It opens close on some trees, obscuring something. That something is tearing the trees out of the way, thundering towards us, bellowing booming noises. A couple of closeups then introduce terrified men wearing hard hats bearing the Jurassic Park logo. Some of them are ar


While this was part of a brainstorming session, and they did make some changes, if fans take a closer look at the dialogue with Marion and Indy's reunion, they would still see there is some subtext of an inappropriate relationship. When audiences address this discussion and the dialogue, it definitely leaves one feeling uncomforta


Generally, action movies that jump from one action beat to the next can feel hollow or, even worse, forgettable, but that's never the case with Raiders. Interestingly, the story was so jam-packed with action sequences that some were remo


Set at the height of the Great Depression, Walter Hill’s gritty, stylish directorial debut Hard Times stars Charles Bronson as Chaney, a bare-knuckle boxer who rises through the underground fighting scene with the help of a hustler named Speed, played by James Cob


Spielberg’s WWII epic Saving Private Ryan , the one that induced PTSD attacks in war veterans, opens and closes with the same image: an American flag, blowing in the wind, color-graded with a very bleak, washed-out palette. Some critics have called these shots contradictory to the movie’s message. Saving Private Ryan is poised as an unpatriotic, anti-war film, yet it’s impossible to see the American flag as anything other than patriotic. The desaturated colors could be seen as Spielberg having his cake and eating it,


We're looking back at a movie that came out 40 years ago and has had such an impact. When you hear that movie name, what is the thing you think of? Do you think of the shoot? Do you think of the reception it got? What is the one memory that you take from this mo


The search for justice doesn't always end well, and that's not what our stubborn crustacean wants to hear, no matter how wise it is. By the time this movie is over, Cancers might have thrown something at the screen and burst into tears more than o


But that thing with Harrison doing the shooting instead of the sword sequence, which was rehearsed, was because he got ill. It wasn't for time purposes. We all got dysentery from Tunisia, working there. I think the only people who didn't get ill were Steven, who had his food flown in cans from Fortnum & Mason, and Howard G. Kazanjian, the producer. Everyone else at some point or other got ill, I think - I'm trying to remember whether Karen got ill. Anyway, I got ill right at the end of the picture. But Harrison got ill when he was meant to do that sword fight that he'd rehearsed the day before, and he just couldn't move that much. If he'd moved, he'd have had a terrible accident. So he said, "Why don't I just shoot the f*cker?" And that's how that wonderful moment came aro
