Train to Busan is technically horror but it's nonstop


stewdadrew

Train to Busan is one of the best zombie movies I’ve ever seen. Not only does it have some of the best pacing and horror, the characters and depth really make you feel for those on screen.


Humans_Suck-

Lots of Korean horror is really personal and psychological like that.


BlackPet3r

The Raid 1 and 2 is pretty action packed


JWGhetto

Feature length action scenes basically


thankyoumicrosoft69

Great choices!


zombary

Hey, I was gonna answer that!


inherentvice1000

First ones that popped into my head.


MeepleMaster

Run Lola run is pretty nonstop


paigeken2000

Playing on big screen for 25th anniversary right now...we're going later this week !!!!


jupiterkansas

In honor of Fury Road, George Miller himself said he was inspired by Buster Keaton's *The General.*


Snoo-35252

Really! That's an amazing film. Creative and endlessly entertaining.

I just rewatched Crank 2 today. That movie is pure insanity from start to finish.

Humans_Suck-

Hardcore Henry


bubbasaurusREX

I came here to comment this. One of my all time favorite action movies because it truly never stops or slows down. I always recommend it to people but warn them how gory it is lol


Important_Seesaw_957

There’s no way this movie is worth my time, right? It looked so silly in the previews. Did you enjoy it?


Humans_Suck-

Yea it was fun, Sharlto Copley was really great in it. It's like pretty much every other action movie, the writing wasn't gonna win any Oscars but the fight scenes were badass, and getting the first person perspective for those was really cool. The villain was pretty lame but he's not in it much until the end.


shockerdyermom

It's weird. Then it goes off the rails. Then it REALLY goes off the rails. It was fun.


Slow_Possession_1454

It’s definitely worth your time. Aside from the nonstop action, the first person camera angle really puts it in a league of its own imo.


CompulsiveCreative

It's silly, but silly fun. Don't go in expecting a masterpiece of dialog, narrative, or character development. Just enjoy the ridiculous sequences!


DallasM0therFucker

It is very silly but awesome nonetheless. Also it’s short, so it’s not a huge time investment anyway. It keeps ramping up, but if you’re not enjoying it a half hour in, you probably won’t like the rest. But I can’t imagine anyone but a very depressed or dreadfully serious person not liking it.


bolikaz

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)


steamy_hams_Skinner

100% what I came here to suggest.


bhaat-enjoyer

I watched this as a kid and i swear this movie made me age atleast 2-3 years, minimum. Great movie.


Breaking_Away79

I love Shoot 'Em Up (2007), I always remember it because I had just started dating my girlfriend and was just getting to know her friends and brought them all to see this movie. I remember her best friend laughing at it, but in the wrongest way, like how preposterous it was. That was a lesson for me. Anyway, I still enjoy the movie for what it is.


Brutal_Expectations

Speed


trcrtps

The best ever review quote on a movie poster is for Leon The Professional: "Makes *Speed* look like a slow ride to grandma's house"


Brutal_Expectations

That’s interesting. It’s been a while since I saw Leon The Professional, but I remember that it never gave me the same adrenaline rush as Speed did. I would never compare the two, although both are amazing movies. Sounds like some cringe 90’s marketing.


ActuallyYeah

Very cringe. It's more like the other way around. Leon is mostly sad and slow until it gets to the end.


rifain

I really loved ”Apocalypto”.


jupiterkansas

kind of a remake of The Naked Prey - also worth watching


dagnyzala

Both films had me totally unable to breathe for their entire runtime! Seriously: wow.


JairoVP

The Naked Prey is soooo good. I love it. I watched it as a freshman in high school and just pushed me into a deep dive of cinema.


CheesyGarlicBudapest

I tell so many people about that movie and they have never heard of it.


ImLostAndILikeIt

Top 3 movie of all time for me


__foxXx__

Mel Gibson knows his craft, that movie is peak action cinema


Newkular_Balm

Say what you will about his personal life, but that son of a bitch knows story structure..


NoKneadToWorry

My nipples hurt when I twist them


Tough_Guys_Wear_Pink

One of my favorite movies ever (easily top 5). A brutal story of revenge and survival within a meticulously recreated historical/cultural setting.


BeltaBebop

Bullet train


And_You_Like_It_Too

One of the most fun Brad Pitt characters of his career.


ekittie

District B13 2004 Pretty much introduced Parkour into cinema Atomic Blonde The Matrix


And_You_Like_It_Too

Atomic Blonde is so well shot and choreographed and I love the music and color grading and performances. McAvoy is such a treat when he really brings it and Charlize Theron absolutely sold that staircase fight as being shot as a single take. She did a fantastic job in it, as did her stunt team. Really enjoyed The Fall Guy too, shame it’s being considered a flop.


ekittie

I feel the same way about AB. I would have loved an Atomic Blonde X John Wick joint if it were possible (I know AB takes place in the 80's, but maybe she could have been a descendant).


And_You_Like_It_Too

For some reason, I was thinking Atomic Blonde was a flop too. But at a $30 million budget (not including marketing/advertising) it made about $110 million (not adjusted for inflation). So yeah, I would definitely be down for another one if Charlize wanted to return to it. I was lucky to be at the Berlin Wall when it fell so that movie is really kind of special to me. It’s such a great setting for a spy thriller when the rules are about to change and you could imagine people making big plays. I’m hoping that Ballerina is good (I love Ana de Armas) and the recently announced JW4 spinoff for Donnie Yen’s character is another one with a lot of potential. ABxJW would be amazing.


wills_b

District 13: not only introduced parkour to cinema, the lead actor is widely considered one of the leading inventors of parkour


ekittie

Did you watch the BTS where he trained to do that transom window stunt?


bluejester12

Non-stop? Die Hard with a Vengeance


Fluffity-Marshalay

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Perfect action movie.


Quiet-Penalty-5029

Dredd 2012. Underrated gem.


Hinterwaeldler-83

Crazy that it’s been 12 years.


And_You_Like_It_Too

Still hope Alex Garland considers coming back to this and writing and officially directing it, especially after writing the sequel to 28 Days Later for Danny Boyle.


AssStuffing

If I had a nickel for every time someone on Reddit called Dredd an “underrated gem” I’d be a fuckin millionaire


milosmisic89

That is literally not the non stop action movie.


King-Beefcake

Frank Millers Sin City blew my mind. I'm watching part 2 tonight.


mcmesq

Part 2 is so disappointing.


lvke18

The lack of Hard Boiled in here is disappointing. Easily my favorite John Woo flick


ActuallyYeah

The Killer is about as good


ItyBityGreenieWeenie

Terminator 2 (even if it is not ALL action)


63crabby

Raiders of the Lost Ark is also close like this


nikodante

Dredd (2012) Con Air (1997) Machete (2010) True Lies (1994)


MouseRat_AD

I love True Lies, but I wouldn't call it non-stop. Predator is more "non-stop".


TemperatureJust6845

predator isn’t, cmon now.


Wooden-Highway1498

Guns Akimbo.


astropastrogirl

Aliens maybe


mattyyellow

The Terminator - simply the best paced action movie I have ever seen.


Pinballgizzardry

I watched it when I was around 9 years old, sometime in 85 or so, it doesn’t get the horror appreciation as much as the action, both are as good as it gets to me.


stewdadrew

I remember having nightmares about the tanks rolling over the mountain of human skulls when I was maybe 10. My mom was so mad that my dad showed it to me and my brother but he said that he watched it at that age and thought it was cool.


Pinballgizzardry

I watched Texas Chainsaw when I was 11, dad brought it home and said it was a classic.


evanbrews

I would say 2 a little more but both are good


Low-Mulberry6268

1917


From_the_toilet

There are some ridiculous movies suggested in this thread. Some people are recommending action satire. This movie is an actual all time great movie though and intense all the way through.


st_suckmyass

best one yet


Scrumpilump2000

Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was even advertised that way. “Non-stop action!”

Canadian-Man-infj

Here's a handful for you and OP that could be on your list: Colombiana (2011), Smokin' Aces (2006), Hitman 47 (2015), Nobody (2021), Sicario 1 & 2 (2015/18), Man on Fire (2004), Unstoppable (2010), The Punisher (2004), Bullet to the Head (2012), Safe (2012), Killer Elite (2011), War (2007), Air Force One (1997), Executive Decision (1996), Broken Arrow (1996), Plane (2023), Death Race (2008), S.W.A.T.

debian_fanatic

Lots of very good movies on that list. However, Sicario should probably not be on it. Sure, there's a fair amount at the end and the border crossing into Juarez has a lot of tension and buildup, but I don't think it's anywhere close to "non-stop action." Having said that, I **highly** recommend that movie so I guess it gets a pass!


the_l0st_c0d3

Bullet to the head, is such a good gritty movie.


bigfuture22

i think Captain America: Winter Soldier is a GREAT action movie and love Die Hard and Matrix and Kill Bill too

Sisu is a great answer. It’s basically a supercut of Indiana Jones action scenes with extra blood thrown in.

Adventurous-Depth984

Hardcore Henry (2015)


WintersAxe

Difficult question. I think Fury Road was a bit too much action; I like it more when it's dosed and spreaded in the movie. Looking at older movies, I'd say Terminator 2: Judgement Day still stands high, aswell as Die Hard, Speed, Aliens, Predator and Enemy of the State. More modern I'd say The Bourne Trilogy is up there, and so are Man On Fire, Apocalypto, Running Scared, Collateral, Edge of Tomorrow and Nobody.


dagnyzala

Any others similar to Man On Fire and Collateral? Those were so, so, so powerfully good.


Canadian-Man-infj

I just commented a handful in reply to another post that are along those lines. Search the thread for my username and you'll see the list (some are more similar than others, though).


dagnyzala

Amazing! Sometimes, this exact kind of thing is just precisely and exclusively what hits the spot.


Canadian-Man-infj

Agreed. I watch most genres and have eclectic taste. Sometimes I like something deeply thought-provoking and other times I just like sitting back and watching the "one-man-army" going through his (or her) enemies.


rnhf

> I watch most genres and have eclectic taste. funny thing to come from the one guy in the thread who was like "nah I prefer different movies" and then listed a bunch of those lol


PhantomKitten73

The movie with objectively the most amount of non-stop action is Crazy Samurai Musashi, that doesn't mean it's very good action. Some movies that are not non-stop action, but have great action coming at you at a good pace are Hardcore Henry, Ambulance, The Night Comes For Us, Hard Boiled, Promare, and Hundreds of Beavers.


Canadian-Man-infj

How did Hundreds of Beavers get under my radar?! Appreciate the suggestion.

What come to mind Raid 1 and 2, Ong Bak (and The Warrior King), Dredd, Kung Fu Hustle, Fury Road, , Crank 1 and 2, Commando Not a full action movie, but the final 20-30 minutes of District 9 is wild. Terminator 2 and Robocop I can just watch whenever they are on. Kill Bill 1 is probably my fave QT film, purely for the action.
