Realism should never be a matter of concern in action movies.I was quite relieved when the CG in Die Hard 4 turned out to be shit.
It was if the director was saying "You are in a cinema. You are watching a movie. John Mclane has just jumped onto the back of an out-of-control fighter plane. Stop thinking about how real it looks and concentrate on The Awesome."

I think realism is the least concern in action moviesfilling out the gendre tick boxes usually is the important thing
:D
And that's what matters, I don't want none of this high brow stuff
I want HUGE UNREALISTIC MONSTERS with fucking fleets of stealth fighters and fuck the car chases, I want 18Wheeler chases with police in apc's exchanging rpg's
oh yeah, and the chick has to be hot!
Much like the flames, of all the stuff bursting into flames and I want crappy one liners from the hero "Man, that's gonna leave a mark" after throwing a bag of dynamite at the mafia-terrorist-commie-nazi's
actually I want to see this film now, it sounds fucking awesome :D
(:D

FUCK YES.You have a very good idea of how movies should function.
The movie Shoot Em Up springs to mind - two hours of ostentatious, unbelievable, essentially plotless violence with some hammy dialogue added as an afterthought, purely as a means to PUNCTUATE THE EXPLOSIONS.

QUESTION:What is the best action movie line ever?
I'm quite fond of Schwarzenegger's "You know when I said I'd kill you last? I LIED."

In the same vein,"Consider det a divorce," is pretty funny.
