#Trailer for French thriller, NIGHT CALL. A few days ago someone on here was looking for films about ordinary guys suddenly finding themselves the protagonist in an action movie - the sort of guy with no extraordinary training or skills. Here's a good looking example.

The image displays the cover of a Blu-ray disc for the movie "Angela Mao," featuring prominent martial artists including Sammo Hung, Carter Wong, Chang Yi, and Pai Ying. The cover art features dynamic action poses of the characters, set against a background with red and gray tones. The title "Angela Mao" is prominently displayed in a stylized font, with additional text indicating "Hapkido" and "Lady Whirlwind" at the bottom. The cover is enclosed in a clear plastic case, typical for Blu-ray discs.
The image displays the cover of a Blu-ray disc for the movie "She Shoots Straight," featuring Joyce Godenzi and Carina Lau, with a special appearance by Sammo Hung. The cover art showcases several characters in dynamic action poses, with vibrant colors and explosive elements in the background. The title "She Shoots Straight" is prominently displayed at the bottom, along with a rating label. The overall design emphasizes the film's action-packed theme, typical of martial arts cinema. The cover is enclosed in a clear plastic case.
The image shows the cover of a Blu-ray disc for the movie "Full Alert," directed by Ringo Lam. The cover features a striking design with a dark background and a prominent title in bold red letters. The artwork includes elements that suggest action or suspense, with a mix of colors that create a dramatic effect. The cover is enclosed in a clear plastic case, typical for Blu-ray discs, and includes a rating label indicating it is suitable for viewers aged 15 and above.
Took advantage of @terracottadist.bsky.social's Black Friday deal. Only 1 I haven't seen before is FULL ALERT but looking forward to enjoying these in the lead up to Christmas. Total coincidence that all are released by #Eureka! I'll write more about each as I get to watch them. #actionbsky #HKfilm
I have to admit, I'd never heard of this. As a fan of the Best of the Best films, this needs to be checked out. Here's the trailer for the new release... #actionsky #actionbsky #martialarts #DTV youtu.be/bQHvE16Uwa4?...
Hong Kong poster for BLACK CAT 2. At the bott9m of the image a woman aims a pistol in the day while above her an aeroplane is exploding.
#Watched BLACK CAT 2 starring Jade Leung & Robin Shou. 1st film was a Nikita rip, this has more of a Bourne/Treadstone vibe. Some great wire work but the sparse audio makes the film feel unfinished. #88films #Actionbsky #HKfilm
We've covered a load of Batman fan films over the past couple of years but This is the 1st Batman Beyond we've come across. It does boil down to being a fight film but BOY do they do a good job with the suit! #Batman #fanfilm #liveaction #shortfilm #actionbsky #actionsky youtu.be/PTUF2v6r2eQ?...
The image is a movie poster for "Death Sentence," featuring a dark, dramatic design. The central figure, a man in a suit with a tie, has a serious expression and is looking down. He holds a baseball bat, which is dripping with white paint or blood. The background is predominantly black, enhancing the stark contrast. The title "Death Sentence" is prominently displayed in red, with the tagline "Protect what's yours" in red text above. Additional text notes the film's release date and credits the director and author associated with the project.
Kevin Bacon in James Wan's DEATH SENTENCE really fits this archetype. Just a really normal guy avenging the murder of his family - very much like Bronson in the original Death Wish; no prior military history or special skills to help kick him into gear...

I did miss the original's henchmen with their "jolly pirate names!" and from a plot point, why would the main badguy allow someone to film his supernatural shenanigans on their phone, right in front of him? But other than that, yeah this was a pleasant surprise! #actionbsky #actionhorror #TheCrow
Enjoyed the first, need to sit down and watch the second soon!

This. Some of the more endearing actioners of recent years have been low-to-mid-budget: Unlocked, Bastille Day, 24 Hours to Live, Rebel Ridge, Jericho Ridge, The Channel, The Silent Hour... I would love to have seen more of these at the cinema... #actionbsky #flimsky
Interested in checking this out - I hate the very basic tagline, but the trailer looks pretty good with some large scale battle scenes... #filmsky #actionbsky #actionsky youtu.be/XmEThBOaV0M?...
Gold Run, a Norwegian WW2 action movie is coming to the UK in Jan via #Dazzler and it looks great: based on the true event of the attempt to smuggle Norway's gold reserve out of the country before the Nazis could grab it! #filmsky #actionsky #actionbsky youtu.be/I57IsGn1vIg?...
I'm also trying #actionbsky
There is also an action movie feed where if you use #actionsky or #actionbsky it'll show in that feed. bsky.app/profile/did:...
Good morning, I created an action movies feed where if you tag #actionsky or #actionbsky it'll show up in that section. Still a work in progress but it's a start and it does work. If you can try it out and let people know it would go a long way. Thank you :) bsky.app/profile/did:...
#Watched LINE WALKER 2: I don't recall much of the 1st but was surprised by this one. The action is well handled & it mostly cracks along at a decent pace. Its one of those films where every cross is doubled & every bluff countered but great cast & the ending is insane! #Actionbsky #HKFilmbsky
Here is the greatest motorcycle scene in cinema history. From John Woo's Hard Target. #actionsky #filmsky #actionbsky
The Lost World: Jurassic Park was the first one I could see in theaters. My affection for it is in my bones. I didn’t know it had significant detractors and I refuse to acknowledge it. This movie rips. #Actionbsky
Karen Mok gets a great little scene in SO CLOSE. I love the visual flare of her remembering the faces of the goons she's with in the lift! #actionbsky youtu.be/xtKC1ztfY1s?...
Holy crap I know I'm behind the curve here but SPECIAL OPS #LIONESS could be my new favourite tv binge and I'm only 20min into the very first episode. Any fans? #Actionseries #Actionbsky
#Watching THE LOCKDOWN. This is a solid DTV fight movie: Caity Lotz & her brother visit their imprisoned dad who's so grateful he conspires to have them arrested so they can fight in the prison's underground tournament! Definitely going to check out the other #TigerStyleMedia films. #DTV #Actionbsky
When was the last time an SNL person starred in an action movie? #actionsky #actionbsky
RIOT: Although missing from most of this list, I do love Dolph Lundgren! He takes a co-starring role here as a meek mannered janitor in a high security prison, while Matthew Reese gets himself sent down to take vengeance on a crimelord living there. Danielle C Ryan is also great in this! #Actionbsky
poster for Lady Bloodfight
LADY BLOODFIGHT: I do love a decent tournament film, and Amy Johnson leads an excellent cast of fighters in a Kumite/Bloodsport style film. #AmyJohnson #MartialArts #TournamentMovie #DTV #Actionbsky
BLOOD AND BONE: most of you will have seen this, and won't be surprised to see it here. MJW's magnum opus fight movie. Great villainy by both Julian Sands and Eamon Walker, its one of the standard bearers for DTV action.

poster for One Shot
poster for One More Shot
ONE SHOT/ONE MORE SHOT: James Nunn takes the premise of a continuous shot & elevates it, capturing the action & moving between the factions, keeping the story from becoming one-sided. When Scott sits down at the end...he ain't "acting" exhausted... #ScottAdkins #JamesNunn #Actionbsky
JARHEAD 3: THE SEIGE. When I put this list together I didn't realise how much Kaufman there was in it! This is basically the DTV version of Michael Bay's Thirteen Hours. Its tight, solid action throughout, Charlie Weber is supported by the likes of Scott Adkins and Dennis Haysbert. #ActionBsky #DTV
