Good call Surfer, the second I hit Navy Seals, I thought about Clerks

Make fun of Lincoln Hawk? We consider this honoring him.

Exit Wounds had me crying in the theater.

[...] 12 Action Movies That Are Actually Comedies. [...]

Reign of Fire should be on this list. The way they kill dragons is by jumping out of helicopters as bait, then having other guys kill the dragon. Also, how awesome was it when Matthew McConaughey jumped with an axe directly into the big dragon’s mouth.

I am saddened that Action Jackson did not make the cut. Probably the biggest reason is that he front flips over a car trying to run him over and that he drives a car up the stairs of Craig T. Nelsons mansion.

An intentionally humorous list about unintentional action movie comedies. Nice work, NextRound! Although, I disagree with your pick of Lionheart from Van Damme’s catalog. What about Kickboxer? The diminutive Asian sensei drops a coconut from the jungle’s canopy onto JCVD’s flexed abs, and then goads him into kicking over a tree.
“What, you want me to break my leg?”
“Your brother, remember?”
But most unintentionally hilarious is the bar scene where a drunken Van Damme dances, displaying moves that are best described as “baby makin’ gyrations.” So potently arousing, I must confess, that they’re my secret weapon when I go to the club on weekends, the story of which is at my blog.

1) Road House (”I used to f___ guys like you in prison.”)

2) Hard to Kill (I’ll take you to the bank senator … the BLOOD bank!”)

I agree with CD. COMMANDO must be among the top 10. From the classic one-liners (don’t disturb my friend, he is dead tired/let off some steam Bennett) to Arnold shopping for weapons, killing at least 80 men with an assortment of weapons (the blade that chopped off 1/3 of a man’s skull, the missile launcher, the detonating devices), to Arnold rowing a raft in a speedo, to a pre-teen Alyssa Milano causing trouble, it had it all.
However, this list omits the great DEATH WISH 3, arguably the best of them all. It features a romance between a 65 year old Charles Bronson and a woman at least 30 years younger who actively pursues him, going into a war zone to court him. He orders military weapons by mail, uses a missile launcher and “big game” hunting gun to waste punks, wears sweaters in 90 degree heat, features a gang whose male leader is named Mandy and who use a “not equal” sign (as in / through = from algebra). It’s phenomenal.
DH is on the ball with Hard to Kill and Road House, two personal favorites. I love how the hot chick in Road House likes that Swayze lives in a barn. I prefer Out for Justice or Above the Law - Seagal’s fake Italian accent is great. He speaks at least 5 different languages in those movies. The scene where he goes into a bar/pool hall and fights guys with a pool ball in a sock is incredible.

“Hard Target” is my personal favorite. “What kind of name is Chance?” My mamma took one.”

Newer than most of these posted but The Marine with John Cena is one of the best ever. He gets smoked in the head about 17 times with random blunt objects (2×4, fire extinguisher, etc.) and he doesn’t bat an eye.

My close 2nd- the new Rambo (”When pushed, killing is as easy as breathing”)

HM- Independence Day

How can you not have “They Live” with Roddy Piper on this list… “I’ve come to chew bubble gum and kick ass, .. and I’m fresh out of bubble gum.” Acting more wooden than Nicolas “Pinocchio” Cage at his best.

Except Batman and Robin wasn’t funny… It was simply terrifying…

… Horrible HORRIBLE memories….

oops, I’m a little last to this post… Batman & Robin should be off this list because it is more of a tragedy than a comedy. I cried uncontrollably over the $10 and 90 minutes I wasted on the film. I think Torque should replace B&R. The two girls doing kung fu with their bikes is a classic.

One word: Gymkata.

You guys really need to have Commando on this list. You talk about movies that people took seriously for a while before they became comedies? This one was NEVER taken seriously. Arnie slaughters like 400 ppl because he’s the only one who knows how to aim a gun. Hilarious.

also, judge dredd

would you like to know more?

What about Con Air?

You need to put Killer Crocodile on the list. Just awesome…

Shoot ‘Em Up.
Absolutely hillarious.
Clive Owen kills people with carrots.
That very well may be the least of the absurdities this movie encompasses.

How can nobody mention Air Force One? They jumped out of the back of the plane over the Middle East and were smiling! They maneuvered the plane on the ground like it was a Miata! The people on the ground were totally useless and hilarious, and who could forget “GET OFF MY PLANE”?

Honorable Mention: Dante’s Peak. They drove a truck though lava for god’s sake.

We have progressed too far along as Americans, especially given the election of Obama, to discriminate against ‘HOOD MOVIES from being on this list. As a 4th-grader, I thought that 1991’s “New Jack City” was the be-all and end-all of cool. However, the film’s “gritty” and “realistic” dpiction of urba violence and decay hasn’t aged particularly well. Observe:

1. Perpetual badass Judd Nelson, while lying on a couch at fellow detective Ice-T’s place, indiscriminately empties a clip from his firearm into a wall. A wall of an apartment building. Just to exhibit how badass he can be.

2. See a fresh-faced, British-toothed Chris Rock struggle with a crippling crack addiction as Pookie: “That shit just be callin’ me, man!”

3. Finally, for you consideration, a line I contend is as gay as any moment from the “Top Gun” volleyball seqence: Ice-T’s Det. Scottie has given drug lord Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes) a severe beating before drawing his pistol and admitting to Nino, “I wanna shoot you so bad, my dick is hard!”

C’mon, y’all… Can’t we all just get along?

This list has lost all credibility for not having Commando at #1, LET ALONE EVEN MENTIONED. What a disgrace.

I find this list offensive - just because these movies are all stupid, and though there may be some laughing at some painfully akward attempts at entertainment, does not make them funny. And just because most comedies have you laughing for the same disingenuous reasons, please don’t insult the entire comedy genre because of some really stupid movie making.

I have to say that a little known piece of wonderment is K-9000. ‘A policeman and a female scientist team up to recover her latest creation, a cybernetic, crime-fighting dog. ‘ Need I say more.
Also-one that I feel encompasses all traits to make the list is Red Dawn. The Russian’s launch a full scale attack on the US and choose to start in Colorado. Then our own army can’t figure out how to get them out, and they are permitted to occupy it for several years. The country’s only hope is a group of kids that includes Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey; who team up to defend the country from communism in Post-Dirty Dancing Era US.
