PG-13 films have quickly become the cornerstone and staple of badass filmmaking that reaches the widest possible audience, with the '90s arguably being the best decade when it comes to cementing this status. While PG-13 as a rating was created during the '80s, it wasn't until the '90s that filmmakers and audiences fully adopted it as a new standard for exceptional action filmmaking.
The Mask of Zorro has an inherent understanding of how to make action not only compelling but electrifying and entertaining to watch. Banderas perfectly fits into the role of Zorro, embellishing the character flawlessly and reinvigorating interest in him for a new generation.
There's simply a lot of fun and excitement in seeing a tornado destroy buildings and other structures, a facet that Twister uses to weave a tale filled with these badass moments. It also helps that Twister's characters are some of the most likable and compelling of any disaster film, making each sequence all the more impactful and exciting. The film has only continued to be a defining part of disaster film history following the recent legacy sequel Twisters.
While action and animation are a rarity when it comes to Western filmmaking, the fight sequences in Princess Mononoke are some of the most cathartic and badass that a PG-13 film can provide. While most other films wouldn't be able to have full-on beheadings or other acts of vicious violence without going to an R-rating, Mononoke's expert usage of 2D animation allows it to balance badass action sequences while still being PG-13.
While the franchise has been home to some of the most iconic and memorable action sequences of contemporary film, the original Mission: Impossible still has a distinct energy and standout moments. The legendary wire heist is still among some of the most badass and well-executed sequences in '90s cinema, fully delivering the full potential of what a spy film should be in the modern era.
