This section is devoted to the classic action films I have watched whilst growing up - and the focus is indeed on the three main players.....Mr Van Damme, Stallone and Schwartzenegger respectively. Of course the films were not just high on action....they were also entertaining, far from believable and of course on many occasions they lacked a coherent storyline - but what the hell in my view these films were (and still are) priceless. The first of these films to come into my possession was the Terminator (early teens I think) and what followed were many of the films I have highlighted in this section.

Each of the sub sections contains a little history of the three main players and the films which star them, primarily based around the 1980s and 1990s. Of course we cannot forget that these actors are still making high quality flicks......which we all enjoy....yet I feel that they cannot capture what their films offered ito my era. On some occasions (notably Rocky, Rambo and the Terminator, but also others) I have added the sequels of the films as they offer some form of closure to each of the sagas.

In recent months it has come to my attention that maybe I am overlooking two other great action heroes who were also around at the time I was growing up....namely Steven Seagal (Under Seige and erm....Under Seige 2!!!) and Bruce Willis. Okay I would have to agree that Segal and Willis were both around and, like my three 'main players,' making high quality movies. On that basis I feel that I had to add them - perhaps placing them both in the championship as opposed to the premier league. Whatever next...Dolph Lundgren?? Kurt Russell??? I will have to draw the line somewhere and this is it!!

Each of the film listings offer detailed reviews, and my rating of each film in terms of their status as being a classic, and of course would mean that it is a poor level of class, and being excellent.....
