The top 10 coolest scenes from The Matrix trilogy

The Matrix was one of the best sci-fi action movies of all time and the rest of the trilogy had some of the most outrageously awesome action sequences ever, even if the movies themselves didn’t reach the levels of the original. Basically, The Matrix trilogy is responsible for a lot of awesome moments in film…

The Rock Makes A Kick-Ass Bambi In SNL‘s Live-Action Disney Parody

Disney’s been having great success with live-action remakes of its classic animated films. So why not cast, as Saturday Night Live did last night, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as everyone’s favorite deer … and reconfigure the story as an over-the-top action thriller, with plenty of puns and guns for all? WHAM BAM BAMBI!

How many people has Sylvester Stallone killed in his movies?

Here’s a fun thought exercise for those who partake in late night debates assisted by junk food and a lifting sense of clarity: which action movie star has killed more people in their movies? Is it Arnold or Sylvester? Stallone or Schwarzenegger? This video totals up all the deaths that Sly is responsible for and…

Suck It, Haters: Why We’re Proud To Love Twister

Twister has it all: growling tornadoes, a battle of good vs. evil in the competitive world of meteorology, a young Philip Seymour Hoffman, and a megameta scene in which a funnel cloud decimates a drive-in just as Jack Nicholson hacks up a door at the Overlook. It’s corny, it’s scientifically iffy, and WE LOVE IT.…

Women kicking ass in action movies

The film editing maestro Clara Darko stitched together this perfect montage of actresses in action movies kicking mother freaking ass. I love how each punch or kick or swing of the sword or crossbow shot or anything perfectly blends together from one movie to the next. More ass kicking please! SPLOID is delicious brain candy.…

This is why most action movies today suck so badly

The majority of action films today suck. They became repetitive formulas. Sterile displays of visual effects, annoying camera movements, and happy ending duels between the hero and his foes. Luckily, there are exceptions. Chris Stuckmann analyzes why this happens in this interesting video. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

Breaking Down Quotable Movie Lines By Grammatical Construction

Are highly quotable, questionably cheesy lines essential to make an action movie good? Not necessarily—but they will help make them memorable. Long after the fight scenes and blow-’em-up sequences have faded from memory, we will—all of us—still be imitating Arnie in T2. Now you can follow the grammatical construction of some of cinema’s most bad-ass…

The Raid: A Bloody Romp through Jakarta’s Deadliest High Rise (NSFW)

While American audiences must endure summer snoozefests starring ’80s action heros rehashing their glory days, a number of East Asian studios are filling the void with a graphic reimagining of the genre. The bloody jewel atop this brutal cinematic crown is Merantu Film’s The Raid: Redemption. It’s Old Boy meets Man from Nowhere times a…

The goofy gag reel of Thor: The Dark World is a raucously good time

Even though it’s incredibly hard to believe and goes against sound Sun rises in the east and sets in the west logic, Chris Hemsworth (and to a lesser extent Thor) is not a perfect being that doesn’t make goofy mistakes. This gag reel proves he’s human after all! Just like us! And sometimes moments get…

Movies are pretty corny when you only hear their punchline

You might not want to admit it but your favorite action movie is pretty corny. But it’s okay! Because they’re fun and they’re ridiculous and there are explosions and they’re quite wonderful at wasting two hours. But when you only see little bits of the movie? Especially just the punchline? It gets quite embarrassing. Just…

Hilarious video shows everyone Arnold Schwarzenegger has ever killed

It’s Ahnold. It’s 28 minutes long. It’s every kill he’s ever made in movies. It’s amazing. It’s everything the Internet was ever created for, really. From popping up in TV series like the Streets of San Francisco to becoming a star in Conan and Terminator to all time classics like True Lies and even post-gubernatorial…

What’s the greatest science fiction action movie of all time?

Tons of science fiction movies feature crazy stunts, fight scenes, chases, and explosions. And plenty of action movies have some science-fictional ideas buried in their plot twists. But what’s the absolute greatest science fiction (or fantasy) action movie ever made? Please include a photo, movie poster or clip of your chosen movie. Plus the movie’s…

Steampunk kung-fu epic Tai Chi Hero: the Cure for Boring Action Movies

We’re just on the verge of the summer movie season, when everything is one big dark conflagration full of angst and quips. But if you want to see a real motherfucking action movie, you don’t have to wait: at least not in some U.S. cities, where Tai Chi Hero is opening today. https://gizmodo.com/summer-movie-preview-33-movies-to-watch-out-for-478469074 Tai Chi…

Lockout will shrivel up your brain, and you’ll like it

Remember when action movies were fun, slick, fast-paced and centered on a lovable muscle-bound jerk with a quip for every occasion? Lockout does — the new “space prison” movie, out today, feels like it was filmed in 1987 and somehow preserved in a vault for the past 25 years. If you miss the days of…

The Last Time Sandra Bullock Starred in a Futuristic Movie

We’re thrilled Sandra Bullock’s starring in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity — we just hope it’s as memorable as her last science-fiction role, in Demolition Man. Here are our favorite Bullock moments from Demolition, including her sex scene with Sylvester Stallone. In case you missed it, Demolition Man takes place in a sterile, politically correct future, where…

Mass nostalgia and kielbasa golems: what scifi can learn from The Expendables

The Expendables is big loud action movie in which Naugahyde-hewn war gods turn junta lackeys into goulash for the better half of 103 minutes. It’s screamingly ordinary, but the mass nostalgia it hawks is a genre cinema paradigm. What’s the Stallone-directed Expendables about? A team of mercenaries goes to South America, tries to overthrow a…

Michael Keaton’s “velcro muscles” in Batman changed action movies forever, says Stallone

Now that people like Shia LaBeouf are headlining action movies, Sylvester Stallone feels nostalgic for the old days. He blames the death of the old-school action movie on Batman. Specifically, the Tim Burton version: It was that first Batman movie. The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It…

Why did Predators’ trailers lie to us?

Predators pretty much ruled — but after we walked out of it, we were left going, “Waaaaait a minute.” Because this movie’s trailers were deceptive as heck. They included one iconic shot that wasn’t quite in the actual film. Spoilers! So I really did like Predators a whole lot. It was an action movie in…
