From Mad Max: Fury Road to crime-fighting adventures with Judge Dredd, these action movies are good enough to warrant a sequel.
Moviegoers love spectacle, and that spectacle typically comes in the form of over-the-top action sequences that really wouldn’t fly in the real world. The ’80s really helped define the quintessential action film, with big and burly action heroes who always managed to take down the bad guy while delivering a few cheesy one-liners along the way.
Ultimately, the marketing for the film was botched, resulting in underperformance at the box office. However, high critical praise boosted the film’s success post-theatrical run in the home video and streaming formats. While there have been discussions over the years of sequel films or potentially a Netflix serial continuation, nothing has come to fruition, unfortunately.
Shooter With 2001’s Training Day and the upcoming The Equalizer 3, director Antoine Fuqua is no stranger to the action genre. In 2007, he directed Shooter, a film about a decorated, but retired, sniper who is framed for a political assassination. Mark Wahlberg stars in the lead role as the retired scout sniper Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger. After being labeled as a domestic terrorist, Swagger has to evade the law while seeking retribution from those who destroyed his life.
