This article explores the global impact of action movies, highlighting 10 influential international films that have shaped the genre. From Luc Besson's 'La Femme Nikita' to George Miller's 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior', the list showcases diverse action cinema that transcends cultural boundaries.
Action is a universal language. Free from the confines of dialects or cultural specificity, it can cross borders to deliver all audiences a thrill ride. Car chases don't require translation, neither do fist fights nor explosions. It's the reason why an American blockbuster like Spider-Man: No Way Home can break records overseas and stars like Jackie Chan can lead their own American franchises.
