Ladies and gentlemen welcome to My BLOG.
Our picks for the top 10 British action movies before we begin if you enjoyed this video be sure to subscribe for more. Great content for this list will be considering any action film whose country of origin is considered to be the United Kingdom meaning the majority of its creative input must originate
from the British Isles. This means join efforts between the UK and other countries are also a fair game
we'll also be sticking to one entry pair franchise number 10 Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels can you turn that save a down to feature film debut from famed director Guy Ritchie Lock Stock and Two
Smoking Barrels is about as British as it gets following a group of small-time criminals who get in over their head after a botched car game the film is brimming with dry British humor colossal characters and sporadic bass and violence action sure it's not quite as action-heavy as other entries on this list but Richie's kinetic personality shines from behind the camera serving as a great appetizer for the other hits he'd go on to helm I'm not finished with you yet number nine hot falls what did you start
tomorrow the old village, not exactly the second installments in Edgar Wright to three flavors Cornetto trilogy hot Falls is both a loving send-up of the action genre and the fantastic action
movie in its own right films from a script overflowing with witty dialogue
clever callbacks and most importantly explosive action Hot Fuzz deconstructs
the action genre and puts the pieces back together in an extremely satisfying
package benefiting from Wright's energetic direction and sharp writing
it's both one of the best action and comedy movies of the past decade what's the matter Danny you have never taken a shortcut before number 8 Dredd yeah I heard you had shot what I said I'd shot after patiently waiting for a where

71 trades in car chases and explosions  for foot chases and shootouts making the action feel uncomfortably personal and the times almost unbearably tense number 5 The Italian Job now it's a very difficult job and the only way to get through it is we all work together as a team a quintessential British classic this action-comedy caper sees Michael Caine's Charlie Croker and his motley the crew of career criminals steal four million dollars in gold by causing a mass traffic jam in the middle of Turin using a colorful set of mini coopers as their vehicles of choice the cars are heavily featured in the film's action sequences which still hold off almost half a century later blending pulse-pounding action with dry British humor the Italian job has proven to be a truly iconic movie with some equally, iconic line so much hang on a minute late number four Kingsman the Secret Service I sometimes Envy the blissful ignorance of that less well-versed in there.

Bringing back the dream team of screenwriter Jean Goldman and director Matthew Vaughn who previously worked together on the likes of kick ass and x-men first class

Kingsman is a brilliantly fun spy movie that takes affectionate jabs at the Bond franchise while pushing the boundaries.
Following lovable delinquent eggsy who recruited into a top-secret spy
organization Kingsman is loud bombastic and at times outrageous intentionally
subversive and provocative the movie also contains some of the most
ridiculously over-the-top action sequences in recent memory number three Get Carter starring Michael Caine as vicious gangster Jack Carter this British action thriller sees our lead the character travels back to his hometown after learning of his brother's untimely death convinced his death was no accidents Jack follows a suspicious trail of breadcrumbs eventually embarking on a campaign of vengeance that leaves plenty of chaos and devastation in its wake

at times thrilling and at times haunting beneath the blood-soaked surface of getting cart out lies a cautionary tale of the price of revenge number two the Dark Knight despite its status as one of the most critically and commercially successful blockbuster films of all time you might be surprised to learn that the majority of this film's creative heft hailed from the British Isles tense smash and expertly crafted in every sense there's a the reason it's already considered a modern classic engaging on every level the movie perfectly weaves together Bruce Wayne's war on crime with his philosophical war with Heath Ledger's Joker resulting in a movie bursting at the seams with intense
action intelligent themes and fascinating characters before we get to
our final pick here are a few honorable mentions once were a vegan but now you
will be gone  there are 400,000 men on this Beach number one Skyfall will do me a favor with you if they do ever let you back out there warmly in burst upon its release the 23rd Bond film was hailed by many as the best in the series and it's not hard to see why following double-oh-seven as he attempts
to thwart the revenge plot of disgraced mi6 member Ryall Silva Skyfall has one
of the most memorably creepy villains in the series history whether Bond is
engaging in a rooftop motorcycle chase chasing enemies through London on the
ground or defending his isolated estate from invaders Skyfall is non-stop thrilled blending the Bond franchise's trademark action with some surprisingly emotional got punch moments
