90 - Mission Impossible
Before Limp Bizkit ruined the theme and before Tom Cruise got a cringe worthy dye job (should have gone for the older, mature, silver fox Ethan Hunt!) there was just a man on a mission. A rather tricky mission. The original MI wasn't as bombastic as the sequels, instead focusing on classic spy thrills and ingenious set pieces. The film keeps you on the edge of your seat with a twisted narrative and sophisticated action sequences.
Best bit: Cruise suspended by a complex set of wires while hacking a computer.
89 - The Octagon
How the hell does this Chuck Norris B Movie rank so high you ask? Well, it falls into the so bad it is good category and it is just soooooo bad, that it is really really good. Chuck Norris vs Ninjas. Need I say more? Ok, fine. Well Chuck Norris fights some ninjas, and it's a mega cheap movie and the acting sucks. Oh you just don't understand. Sometimes bad action films are the most fun to watch. Also, I like to believe that the UFC designed their ring based on this movie. I doubt they did, but I like to believe it.
Best bit: Chuck in a sword fight with a ninja perfection.
88 - Ninja Scroll
Animation is often overlooked by action fans. Well it bloody well shouldn't be as unlike live action, anything is possible in the world of animation. With that in mind we have Ninja Scroll, a bloody, crazy and awesome Ninja epic following roaming swordsman Jubai. Jubai comes across a beautiful female ninja who is being raped by a hideous monster with rock like skin. Jubai cuts the f***er up and the two warriors end up travelling together while fending off attacks from other demonic ninjas. It's bat s**t crazy but it's also really inventive, as each character has unique and disturbing powers.
Best bit: Jubai defeating a human wasp's nest by knocking him under water and letting the wasps sting him to death from the inside as they struggle to escape.
