- The Killers (1964) When the steely-eyed professional killer named Lee (Clu Gulager) matter-of-factly flips aside his jacket to show his gun, it’s one of those cinematic moments you never shake.
- Golgo 13: Assignment Kowloon (1977) Reprising his role as the peerless assassin Golgo 13, martial arts legend Sonny Chiba is a force of nature in this wild, wicked, action-packed Manga adaptation from director Yukio Noda.
- Kill Bill (2003) Sure, Quentin Tarantino’s super violent genre pastiche lifts its plot completely from François Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black (1968), but this two-part revenge epic following Uma Thurman’s the Bride (aka Beatrix Kiddo, aka Black Mamba) is an exercise in over-the-top excess, ultra-violence, and fist-pumping fun.

- The Bourne Identity (2002) The Bourne film series, of which there have been five now, contain several stirring actioners, and for the purposes of this list, I thought it made the most sense to include the first in the series with the disclaimer that these thrillers are all consistently fist-pumping and fun, and if the whole hitman with amnesia angle works for you, then the whole series will be your bowl of cherries.
- The Manchurian Candidate (1962) This neo-noir thriller from legendary action/suspense director John Frankenheimer is an inventive and sportive actioner.
