Die Hard or Terminator 2? Which is the Better Action Movie?

[blind2d]

I... But I've seen almost all the Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee films, and almost half of Jet Li's stuff! Doesn't that count for something?! I mean, what's the point of an action movie without martial arts?! (Realizes that was a stupid thing to say) Um, I mean... I don't get out much... Fine, you win! I'll go buy the VHS for a dollar! Happy?! Predator was pretty good... Um... Robocop I love... And Supercop... Police Story...

I've actually never been a big fan of the martial arts action movies. I've seen a lot of them, but they don't really do anything for me. I need guns, explosions, and wise cracking heroes. I'm A-murr-can.

[blind2d]

For some of the best in guns and explosions, I refer you back to the first twenty or so minutes of Jackie Chan's First Strike. He snowboards off a cliff, grabbing onto a helicopter that blown up by a rocket a second later and plunges into icy water below, with the shrapnel raining down around him. Wise cracks? Not so much... God, I love that movie... Ladder fight scene... Car chase... Shark and underwater scene... Jumping the sports car onto the boat... Jesus, I'm gonna cum...

I love chop socky flicks... but films like Die Hard are way more enjoyable for me. Like Bassman... I am A-murrr-a-can

Screw kung fu movies. Bond movies are were it's at. I'd like to see a ninja kick a guy in the face while keeping his martini from spilling.

Insanely hard choice ... well, not like Sophie's Choice, but still, it's a tricky old choice. I opted for T2 in the end - a close call between these two brutes. T2 is balls-out action with some kick arse sequences that still blow my mind to this day. Die Hard was and is an awesome movie, and action movie, but T2 was just incredible when it came to the action sequences. Hell, many of them still get my adrenaline flowing and my heart pounding to this day. I'm getting shivers just thinking about T2!

And, um... I don't believe I or anyone else mentioned ninjas specifically... *Adds this post to reasons Mitchiwho is not a person I especially like*

Wow, this poll is turning into a real horse race. More of you guys came of age to Arnie in T2 than I thought.

Wow, this poll is turning into a real horse race. More of you guys came of age to Arnie in T2 than I thought. I saw it in the theater when I was 6 (not sure what my parents were thinking) and it set the standard for every other action movie, imo. Definitely a memorable experience.

Wow, this poll is turning into a real horse race. More of you guys came of age to Arnie in T2 than I thought. Yeah I was shocked how quick the gap closed myself. I do enjoy T2, especially the scene when Arnie crawls out of the small pick up and onto the SEMI and unloads the gun into the T-1000's face.

Commando? really? maybe I need to go back and watch it. I don't remember it being worthy to mention in a Die Hard thread but it's been awhile. and yes...I voted Die Hard hands down but "With a Vengence" is my favorite one. then u must not realize the connection between die hard and commando.

[bassman]

then u must not realize the connection between die hard and commando. The script for the Commando sequel(based on Nothing Lasts Forever, iirc) was altered to be Die Hard after Schwarzenneger turned down the chance to come back, but that doesn't really have any bearing on whether or not the original Commando could go toe-to-toe with Die Hard. I would have to agree with Mr Clean. While Commando is a cheesy fun ride, it's nowhere near the greatness of Die Hard.

Damn, I'll be tucking that bit of info away for future use.
