I didn't know we were having a action movie rushmore discussion in here. Damn it.

This is a really tough one.

If we're narrowing it to 4, I'm leaving off Arnold. It's dumb, probably the wrong move and I'm going to get roasted for it, but I think it's the move. For me anyway.

DJLN has a point with Reeves. Dude has assembled quite the resume.

Stalone I think has to be in there.

I gotta go with Hemsworth. I'm apparently the only one, but if he's in something wrecking shit, I'm in. Hell, he managed to save a god awful Snow White movie in which Kristen Stewart gave an all time bad performance. I mean ALL ****ING TIME. But dude, Thor, obviously, Crappy Snow White movie he was awesome in, Red Dawn that everyone hated, but I thought he was good in, Rush - F1 - whatever he was good, 12 Strong was Excellent, and Extraction. If he's there, I'm there.

Cruise is a damned compelling case. Him doing his own mind boggling stunts is for real.

I think Jackie Chan has a pretty compelling case. He just isn't ever unenjoyable. Jet Li and Donnie Yen, are guys that are probably better and I'd rather watch work, but goddamn Chan has a TON of good stuff out there (even if I don't dig the slapstick stuff as much as some guys).

I think a guy that shouldn't be on Rushmore, but should maybe have an argument is Mel Gibson. Yeah, drunken jew rant, and yeah, if he's in a historical drama the history will be all wrong all the time, but I tell you what is always good - the action. In going through this, I am surprised at how much I like Mel Gibson's action flicks.

Willis too. There is an argument that he is only the die hard series, but he was good in 16 Blocks (really good), and I liked him in Lucky number Slevin and the whole nine yards as well as the Fifth Element. I never saw Tears of the Sun, but I hear it's good.

Another outsider that won't make it, but I think should be in the Discussion is Chris Evans. My favorite Marvel action scenes almost exclusively include Cap. I think the Winter Soldier street fight is my favorite fight scene maybe ever.

Reeves, Stalone, Hemsworth, Cruise.

There it is. I'll probably change my mind in 15 minutes.
