He's James Bond without the frills. With high-octane franchises such as "The Transporter" and "Crank," Statham is poised to be the go-to guy if you're looking to crash some cars, blow stuff up and ruin a bad guy's day. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
Lights, Camera, ...Fight scenes, car chases, shoot outs, good guys, bad guys, explosions, punches, kicks, blood, sweat and tears... these are the elements that make an action star. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
20. Angelina Jol...Few actresses have racked up as many respectable action roles as Angelina Jolie. Movies such as "Tomb Raider," "Wanted," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "Salt" make Jolie one of the genre's leading ladies. If she weren't so good in other genres (and the competition in this one wasn't so stiff), she might have landed even higher on the list. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
19. Dwayne Johns...From the wrestling ring to the big screen, "Snitch" star Dwayne Johnson has made a name for himself in the action drama with roles in flicks including "Fast and Furious 6" and the upcoming "Pain & Gain." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
18. John WayneThis American icon is not only one of cinema's original cowboys, but also one of the toughest dudes on film — not to mention, an Oscar winner. You'd be hard pressed to find a Wayne film in which The Duke isn't throwing a punch, drawing his gun and saving the day. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Paramount Pictures/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
17. Milla Jovovi...From films such as "The Fifth Element," "Ultraviolet" and "The Perfect Getaway" to the "Resident Evil" series, few working actresses are as synonymous with the genre as Jovovich is. If you need a beauty who can be a beast — you go to Milla. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
16. Jason Statha...He's James Bond without the frills. With high-octane franchises such as "The Transporter" and "Crank," Statham is poised to be the go-to guy if you're looking to crash some cars, blow stuff up and ruin a bad guy's day. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
15. Denzel Washi...Denzel may be a serious actor with a truckload of accolades under his belt, but he can throw down the gloves when the situation calls for it. "The Book of Eli" may have been Denzel's best action showing to date, but he's also saved the day in films like "Man on Fire," "Out of Time," "Deja Vu," "The Taking of Pelham 123" and more. And let's face it, who is more intimidating (by saying nothing at all) than Mr. Washington? —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Andrew H.

14. Mel GibsonOk, so his career might be over now, but an action star list wouldn't be complete without the Road Warrior. As the star of both the "Mad Max" and "Lethal Weapon" series, as well as action flicks such as "Ransom," "Braveheart" and "Edge of Darkness," Mel has certainly earned his spot among action's best. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
13. Jackie ChanHe got his start as a stuntman in Bruce Lee movies, but Jackie Chan had no problems blossoming into an action superstar in his own right, with more than 100 martial arts action movies on his resume. He may be best known in the U.S. for the buddy comedy series "Rush Hour," but the Chinese franchise "Police Story" made Chan a household name in the Far East. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Jemal Countess/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
12. Nicolas CageFew actors take a cinemtic whoopin' (and come back to save the day) better than Nic Cage. This guy's always getting beat up. He ruled the '90s with action films such as "The Rock," "Con Air," "8mm," "Snake Eyes" and "Face/Off" and continues his semi-successful reign over the genre today. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
11. Tom CruiseIt's easy to overlook Tom Cruise's impact on the action drama, but his filmography speaks for itself. Cruise's thrilling performances in "Top Gun," the "Mission: Impossible" series, "Minority Report," "Collateral," "War of the Worlds" and "Knight and Day" are more than enough reason to include him on this list. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Ian Gavan/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
10. Steve McQuee...A hero of the Vietnam War counterculture, Steve McQueen is notable for doing many of his own stunts, including death-defying car and motorcycle chases. Films such as "Bullitt," "The Magnificent Seven," "The Great Escape" and "The Towering Inferno" made McQueen a top draw in the '60s and '70s. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Warner Bros./Courtesy Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
9. Will SmithThere's no denying Smith's drawing power in the action genre. Nearly every one of his action flicks topped the box office on opening weekend, including four films on Fourth of July weekends. His hits include "I Am Legend," "I, Robot," "Hancock," the "Bad Boys" series, the "Men in Black" series and "Independence Day." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
8. Linda Hamilto...Is Linda Hamilton the first lady of action films? We'd like to think so. While her resume isn't extensive, Hamilton raised the bar for women in the genre as the tough-as-nails mommy, Sarah Conner, in the "Terminator" series. Action-thrillers such as "Dante's Peak" and "King Kong Lives" are just icing on the cake. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Evan Agostini/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
7. Clint Eastwoo...What could you possibly say about Clint Eastwood that isn't better summed up by a Dirty Harry film. In short, Clint is cinema's ultimate anti-hero and, with respect to Mr. Wayne, may be its most popular (and feared) cowboy. Whether he was up against the good, the bad or the ugly, Eastwood always came to the fight packing heat. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
6. Bruce LeeBefore Jackie and Jet, there was Bruce. Lee single-handedly popularized martial arts action films in the United States with films such as "The Big Boss," "Fist of Fury," "Way of the Dragon" and "Enter the Dragon." Not to mention his role as Green Hornet's sidekick, Kato. Though iconic in death (at age 32), there's no telling how massive his career could have become if he were still alive. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Archive Photos/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
5. Harrison FordYou don't need smoke and mirrors to sell this guy as one of the best action stars in history. He's played Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan, a blade runner and the President of the United States. In short, he's one of the best ever. Now, get off his plane. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
4. Bruce WillisEverything this guy touches turns to action. If his role as iconic action hero John McClane in the "Die Hard" franchise wasn't enough to convince you, consider "Sin City," "Armageddon," "The Fifth Element" and "The Jackal." Yippie ki yay! —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
3. Charles Brons...An action star on and off the silver screen, Charles Bronson was an aerial gunner in WWII before becoming the toughest of Hollywood tough guys in the 1960s. Bronson starred in such action classic as "The Magnificent Seven," "The Dirty Dozen" and "The Great Escape." He may be best known, however, as the vengeful vigilante crime fighter in the "Death Wish" series — action at its best. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Daily Express/Hulton Archive/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
2. Arnold Schwar...A former bodybuilder, this Austrian icon is all action. Heck, he even played the last action hero. Arnold's incredible action resume includes genre classics such as "Conan the Barbarian," "The Running Man," "Predator," "Total Recall," "True Lies," "End of Days" and the "Terminator" series. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
1. Sylvester Sta...He is the undisputed king of the action genre and the greatest action star of all time. From "Rocky" and "Rambo" to "Judge Dredd" and "Cliffhanger" to "Demolition Man" and "The Expendables," nobody oozes the machismo (or takes a beating) like Sly. After 25 years of putting a choke hold on the box office, we salute Stallone by naming him the Heavyweight Champion of action movies. Yo, Adrian. He did it!!! And if he can change. And you can change. Everybody can change! Merry Christmas, kid! —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
