10 Action Movies That Prove the 90s Were a Golden Age of Badassery
The '90s were a great decade for the whole movie industry, filled with people ready to experiment and bring something new to the whole cinematic experience.
It's no surprise that some of the most memorable action movies came from this era — and out of all of them, it was quite hard to choose only 10.
The action genre firmly took off in the '80s but it kicked into full speed right in the '90s and provided some of the greatest blockbusters of all time.
It's not just nostalgia talking: this decade was the time when some of the most prominent action movie stars and directors were able to properly shine on the screens for the first time and captivate the audiences with their uniqueness.
Jackie Chan finally got international fame; Nicholas Cage was delivering a wide variety of performances, from dramatic to nearly comedic; Keanu Reeves proved that he fits the role of Neo by starring in a few movies filled with tension and pain; Bruce Willis demonstrated that not every sequel for a successful movie is bad; Will Smith transformed from a rapper with a hint of comedy into an action star; and don't get us started on Arnie.
