The 1990s were an incredible time for action movies, with many fantastic releases that mainstream audiences have largely forgotten. While cinematic classics like Speed, Terminator 2, and The Matrix franchise were all released during this time, many more hidden gems failed to achieve long-lasting cultural relevance and are ripe for rediscovery by a new generation of action movie lovers.
Director Mikael Salomon Release Date January 16, 1998 Writers Graham Yost Cast Morgan Freeman , Christian Slater , Randy Quaid , Minnie Driver Main Genre Action Hard Rain pitted humanity against the unstoppable destructive force that is nature itself for a heist thriller set against the backdrop of a major storm. Starring Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater, this story of thievery, survival, and man-made treachery was a fast-paced, special effects-filled showcase of pure, mindless entertainment.
Despite being a stylish and exciting action movie, Ricochet didn’t have the same impact as more successful 1990s action films and underperformed at the box office. As a dark and violent story made even better by a deranged turn from John Lithgow as the killer Earl Talbot Blake, Ricochet is a movie that has truly been slept on by action movie fans. With strong performances and snappy dialogue, Ricochet deserves much more attention.
Director Craig R. Baxley Release Date September 28, 1990 Studio Vision PDG Distributor Triumph Releasing Writers David Koepp , Jonathan Tydor Cast Dolph Lundgren , Brian Benben , Betsy Brantley , Matthias Hues , Jay Bilas , Jim Haynie , David Ackroyd , Sherman Howard , Sam Anderson Runtime 91 minutes Budget $7 million Main Genre Action Expand Although I Come in Peace is often dismissed as a forgotten Terminator ripoff, the truth is that this Dolph Lundgren movie truly holds up.
Showdown in Little Tokyo was misunderstood at the time of its release but has since gained praise for its fast-paced action and charismatic, humorous performances. Lundgren and Lee had great onscreen chemistry, and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa deserves extra praise for his role as the sinister villain Funekei Yoshida. Overall, Showdown in Little Tokyo more than delivered on its promise of B-movie action fun and deserves far more recognition.
