    My 2 favorite action guys are Dolph Lundgren and Thomas Ian Griffith.
    Dolph has done it all, from the first big screen Punisher to the first big screen He-Man. Since the 80s, he kept right on working in some of the best underrated actioners of the 90s, including Silent Trigger and BlackJack. Since then, he's not only kept acting, he has even directed several pictures, starting with the amazing Command Performance.

    I was born at almost the end of communist era(at least one of them, we're still in it somewhat, but that's another sad story of my country in Eastern Europe-Romania in 1979. Only after 1990 we started to get into the world sort of speak, by 'importing' still, all the good stuff Americans had including movies. Up till then my 'movie collection I've seen' was on Communism Television trough movies like Westerns (Clayton Moore, John Wayne etc. and Musicals (The Wizard of Oz etc.) Also we had our own stuff (really good quality actors, like legends). We went of course to cinemas, and there we had a mix of movies Romanian and from other countries like (for example: Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Sophia Loren, Alain Delon . We had a good variety of movies. And then I grew up a little and the 90's came. Best freakin years of my life and everyone's else that lived in those times. At the beginning of 90's we started to 'import' a lot of culture and also we got to see the booming of 'Video Cassette Rental Stores'. That's when my love for the Action genre started. Up till that moment I didn't even knew Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer's Blade Runner movie.
    Even though we have this thing, like every second or third movie in a 'series' must be about family ;) (Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean, superb movies ) , we DO have a lot of good and very good movies these days, the 90's era was the best in my opinion. Because they had to work with their imagination and not with CGI explosions. That being said 'cant wait for a big CGI fight-butt whooping in Dead Pool 3 :D .
