Many people claim action movies are nothing more than violence and special effects, but to dismiss them so quickly is to fail to fully appreciate the genre.

My favorite part of an action flick isn’t the blood or gore. It’s the killer lines of dialogue uttered by the action heroes. This video is a homage to them.

All the major players are here. There’s Clint “Make My Day” Eastwood, Arnold “Hasta La Vista” Schwarzenegger, Robert “Are You Talking To Me” De Niro, and more.

At nine and a half minutes this is a little on the long side, but I still found myself riveted until the end. After all, there’s clever lines, lots of blood, and explosions galore. What’s not to like?
