Top Five
Top Five is a show where the hosts categorize, rank, compare, and stratify everything… from cars to gadgets to people and movies. From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting – it’s Top Five.
This week, we run in slow motion from the giant explosion behind us as we rattle off our top five action movies.

My top 5 right at this moment. I t might be a bit different depending on a day ts written.
#1 Lone Wolf & Cub: Sword Of Vengeance
It may be low budget but its still best bloody samurai action that’s not a drama which doesn’t fit in this list. Almost as good as the comic. It could be any of the six in the series, but lest’s go with the first one.
#2 Ninja Scroll
Animation which has it all. Super powered monsters, ninjas and boobs. Looks gorgeous even today.
#3 Once Upon a Time in China
Jet Li at his best and most acrobatic. Action scenes which were so good it was almost beyond belief at the time for western audience.
#4 Rambo 4
Surprisingly good movie, it deserves a place in this list just for being way better than anyone expected.
#5 The Matrix
Its kinda has to be here, its so influential.
My next band is going to be called Crap Sack Future.
This is episode 170 of the podcast. It is the 21st episode in which Surf Nazis Must Die has been mentioned. Surf Nazis Must Die has never appeared as an actual entry on any list.
There has not been a Top Five Action Movies episode before this one. The closest I could find were Action Girls (one of the pre-Top Five top fives on the Major Spoilers podcast – http://majorspoilers.com/2011/07/07/major-spoilers-podcast-319-top-five-favorite-action-girls/) and Martial Arts Movies (the official first episode of Top Five – http://majorspoilers.com/2011/08/08/top-five-001-top-five-martial-arts-films/)
I will post my personal Top Five Action Movies separately. It’s turning out to be surprisingly tough to come up with!
