Comments

Ginger

Tomb Raider is a fun one

Marko T.

King Kong. Its amazing remake by Peter Jackson.

dom

crank it is then

paul rai

Crank is bonkers-ass crazy and essentially all about adrenaline, but holy Jesus you guys need to watch Crank 2. They’re both the closest things to GTA adaptations. Incredibly silly and batshit entertaining. Hope Crank wins, but good luck to George for all the censoring he’ll have to do lol.

daskeyzerlein

Rocky Balboa. Second best movie of the series.

Nathan Jasper

Highly recommend Alicia Vikander's Tomb Raider as well!

Random Nevermind

Thanks for the poll. Two action movies to add to the next poll: Shoot em up Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Mavs4177

Crank is hilarious lol

JuliusKuegel

Crank is the definition of Adrenaline

Farbod

Bloodsport losing to Crank tells me all I need to know about this generation.

Inkpendude

King Kong maybe doesn't fit as well as the others, but it's an amazing movie. Crank is cringe

Steve Matthews

I voted Rocky, but I would advise watching 5 if you haven't yet. People go over the top saying how bad it is, when it really isn't. Sure Sly wasn't happy with the ending and why he made Balboa, but 5 still has its place.

Rokkor X

Bloodsport isn’t exactly an adrenaline packed movie.

David Crabtree

I don't think you have reacted to Rocky 5 yet.

Raymond DeGraw

As always I love watching along and hopefully will see these in the near future... 1. The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) 2. Fallen 3. Secondhand Lions 4. R.E.D. 5. The Muppet Movie

Nick Sillett

I highly recommend watching Rocky 5 before Rocky Balboa.

Ashton Lewis

Darn it if people don't make King Kong win this over Crank I will know there's no light at the end of this awful tunnel we're all stuck in

John

Sinners the newest Michael B Jordan-Ryan Coogler collaboration is being released this April. I think you should definitely watch the Creed series and so I’ll be voting for Rocky Balboa

paul rai

Shoot ‘Em Up is super underrated. A literal bullet fest of action and the barest bones of a plot. Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti are a fantastic pairing for hero and villain.

Ashton Lewis

It's Peter Jackson and I know you're both LOTR nerds so I'm sure you'll get to it sooner or later anyhow

Sam Fuller

Mad Max because that leads to The Road Warrior.

יוסי פורקוש

Bloodsport is nice to have but its a joke of a movie at the end, Crank is a nice concept but its a nice pass of time nothing more, King Kong is boring. Mad Max is just... a must see piece of cinema, EQ2 is not as good as the first but enjoyable with one great scene. Rocky will melt your heart.

Mavs4177

Not Another Teen Movie. Superstar. Grandmas Boy. The Hot Chick. The Waterboy. All comedy movies off the top of my head that I think yall would enjoy

JoshG

I really think you should watch rocky 5 first before rocky balboa

Balmung

The Count of Monte Cristo is seriously underrated and a must-watch

Balmung

I am once again recommending the new Godzilla franchise, starting with the 2014 one

Bmac Tattoo
>>165000587

Good comedy movies. Also - Orgazmo, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Heartbreak Kid and Flirting With Disaster are really funny movies that I haven't seen anyone react to.

Mavs4177
>>165000587

Yes any or all of these would be great. Since you brought up Orgazmo that reminded me of Baseketball so throw that one in there as well

Mike FromOz

It's got to be Mad Max and Bloodsport for me. Mad Max gets us further along the path to Mad Max 2: Apocalypse Boogaloo.

Daniel Smith

Which leads to Thunderdome….

Lyle Morgan

Thank God y’all are skipping Rocky 5.

s0rd3z

Primer is adrenaline...for the mind

Dan
>>165000587

Definitely Baseketball over Orgazmo. My brother and I can quote that from front to back, and so many jokes are really solid, like the team movement breakdown at the beginning 😂

The Dark Unknown

im with you! crank over king kong = loss of faith in humanity

Jeromy M

Hardcore Henry for future polls plz

Liam Nissan

really hoping you start wrapping up movie series you have going.. Rocky, Equalizer, Cars, Toy Story, Fast and Furious

lisa

None of the Above.

Jihad Lee

Crank is gonna be wild😂😂😂😂😂😂

Long-time Sci-Fi Enthusiast

I`d like to recommend the 1975 Sci-Fi/Sport film (Rollerball) as a possible choice for your next one of this poll. Starring James Caan .

Mike FromOz

It's like Mad Max 2, but with more hairspray.

Max Krause

The poll title is Adrenaline. That is literally what Crank is about :D King Kong is alright, but I wouldn't call it action-packed. Someone should have told Peter Jackson that not all of his movies have to be over three hours long.

David Crabtree

I vote Rocky Balboa, but only after you watch Rocky 5, which is Stallone best character work as Rocky since the first two films. Plus, events happen in Rocky 5 that lead into Rocky Balboa.

Ashton Lewis

Each to their own mate. Whatever the result, people will enjoy the reaction, so it doesn't really matter what wins

Mavs4177
>>165000587

Ya Trey and Matt are so good. I'm thankful we got all the South Park episodes we have, but also wish they would have done more live action movies

Michael Johnson

Watching Mad Max after Fury Road is like eating Steak-umms after a Wagyu ribeye

JoeE

Would also recommend to live and die in la

Polecat21

King Kong (1933)

Fritz

You guys haven't watched Raid 2 yet. You should definitely do that. It's so damn good.

Maiki

You mind-reading wizards! Crank 2 was on TV a couple of days ago and while watching, I was hoping for some Chev Chelios on Cinebinge one day.

Theo Bracco

Shoot 'em up (2007) Clive Owen & Paul Giammati's best line evarrrrr!!!11!

Ruth McLoughlin

Other things I think you might like for future polls and stuffs; - Jawbreaker (90s dark comedy) - It’s What’s Inside (Netflix sci-fi thriller) -Orphan Black (Tv show, Tatiana Maslany, amazing acting and editing, if Moon impressed you, this will too) -His Dark Materials (Tv show, based on book series, Dafne Keen does great in this!)

Florian

BLOODSPORT, woohoo

simon brouillard

Rocky 5 is not really good but giving that you’re going to end up watching them all I would suggest you do it next before Balboa then the Creed movies, also CRANk that movie is fucking unhinged

Chase Schleich

Down for all of those, but that's the wrong King Kong. You should do Kong: Skull Island and the Godzilla movies that go along with it. There's even a TV show in that universe now which is getting a season 2.

Alexrandom

If the theme is indeed andrenaline Crank is a pretty good choice but if we're going for movie quality: -Mad max: a genre defining masterpiece but definitely isn't as crazy as when it came out, especially after seeing fury road (the best movie ever made, and that's a fact not an opinion 🫣) -King Kong: not the best Jackson but still pretty good fun and impressive for the time. To me braindead is his best film after LOTR. Rocky Balboa: an extremely touching picture about two stars at the end of their career, Rocky and Stallone (not before watching 5 though, that doesn't make sense. Just because a movie isn't great you shouldn't skip it) -Bloodsport : great fun, iconic, just having images of that crazy city is incredible on its own. Watch equalizer 2 or tomb raider if you need to catch up on your sleep schedule. And remember guys, these are not opinions but facts 🙈🙉

Lamont Cranston

Yeah but they're probably not going to get to Fury Road untill they watch Mad Max probably

FWPJR.

Dang, the two I voted for ( Rocky Balboa and The Equalizer 2 ) don’t have a chance to win this judging by the results right now. But hopefully you two will watch both of them sooner or later, I hope everyone enjoys watching the reaction to whatever wins the poll✌🏻

Alexrandom

I think they've already watched fury road but I might be wrong. That's why I implied that compared to fury road it was a bit tame 😉

Maarten Martens

Crank should just be called Adrenaline, it's the essence bottled in movie form.

Dane Winton

If you want adrenaline then it’s gotta be Crank

Ludovic Ligot

Nothing is more "adrenaline-based" than Crank... except for its sequel !! 😂 Both are 100 % hilarious and insane... Your reactions should be great.

K Murray

King Kong is an adventure drama. There is some action but it's like 1/5 of the runtime.

Lamont Cranston

I just checked, they have lol. Sometimes it gets confusing between all the reactors and what they've watched

Emily G

For a future comedy reaction you should watch Rat Race (2001) or The Producers (2005 version) I really think you guys would enjoy them ❤️🙌

Rob Church

Crank is really the only true option.

Alexrandom

I get it 😉 It's a bit easier for me to remember though because I only watch these guys 🙂

Maiki

I was pretty sure they've watched it, but March 2022? Man, time flies...

Jay Davis

I just want to be able to comment "I am the Niiiiight Riiiiiderrrr!" and have them know what I'm talking about. Is that so much to ask?

Jay Davis

It tends to be hard to get ahold of but it's SUCH a good movie.

Prince Mora

All these movies over Bloodsport? Really guys?

Alexrandom

I just found out why my back hurts. I'm old !

beefjerkywizard

Okay USA 👍 *but not really because of obvious Canadian reasons

Farbod

For real. Crank is a trash film and I generally like Statham. Bloodsport is an all time classic.

2026-09-05 05:00 I love Peter Jackson, but king kong 2005 is the worse king kong, its 3hrs and so little happens in it
2025-02-17 14:40

Paul Mix

I'm one of those who prefers the OG Mad Max movies to the newer ones. While the modern ones are very good, and may be more impressive visually, the originals were grittier, and much better at defining both Max and the world deteriorating around him.

Bartos Marcell

If it's adrenaline, it HAS to be Crank. Also it's so magnificently bad I really want to see your reaction

HeyHeyJK

I’ve always said the ‘special edition’ cut of that film should an hour shorter.

Joe

Oh please watch Rocky Balboa.

Smooticus

Had to go with Mad Max. This is god franchise for you guys to start

ComradQuestion

I'm only voting for Mad Max so you can get to Road Warrior.

Snuggelbum

Same! They need to do the mad max series!

Mayan Luevano

Bloodsport and Mad Max all the way

Robert Cooper

Equalizer 2 is meh. I don't know if you even really need to see it, but 3 is great.

Mushie Motion

Crank is the only one that is pure adrenaline.

jmundt33a

This is the mostly decent, nothing great list. I think Equalizer 2 is the weakest of the trilogy though the action is minimal in 3. King Kong (2005) is the best rendition of the original story. Rocky Balboa was the cleanser after Rocky V Crank and Bloodsport are fun popcorn action. Bloodsport is one of three JCVD action flicks of pretty good quality that recycle the same plot in different settings. Tomb Raider is an Angelina Jolie showcase. Next time this comes up, I’d suggest The Accountant and Atomic Blonde. They’ve already done Mr. And Mrs. Smith right?

Jobbe Smit

Interesting, to me 3 is the weakest. While I agree 2 is significantly weaker than the first one.

John

Given that the Accountant 2 is being released this Spring. I would recommend seeing the Accountant

James Falato

I chose "Mad Max" over "King Kong (2005)" because I think You haven't reacted to "King Kong (1933)" and seeing as I've Loved the 1933 version since I first saw it on TV ("Million Dollar Movie" was a local TV Show that - believe it or not in the New York City- Northern New Jersey Area on WOR-TV Channel 9 2ran one film a week 2 times on 0Monday-Friday Nights and 3 times on Saturday-Sunday once in the late afternoon and 2 times at Nights)... I was all of 8 years old and have been captivated by Its Special Effects...

Kinky

Rocky V isn't that bad to warrant a skip in my opinion, it honestly have some pretty good heartfelt moments too that becomes very relevant in Rocky Balboa.

Karl Ries

I also find Rocky V relevant to Creed as well.

Robert Cooper

I really like 3. It is definitely the least "Equalizer-ish" of the three, but taken on its own terms, I think it is a really solid movie.

paul rai

Peter Jackson was greatly impacted by the original King Kong. It was always his dream project to make a remake. And thankfully after LOTR, he was able to fulfill that dream. Still remember seeing in 3 times in theaters. Such an incredible experience. I hope George and Simone, if they decide to watch King Kong 2005), they pair it with the 1933 original. Like their Nosferatu double watch.

jmundt33a

Minimally. Reading a synopsis would suffice.

Mitchell Bowker

Don’t forget to watch Rocky V! It’s very necessary to watch if you’re gonna watch Rocky Balboa & the Creed films.

Kyle Baker

Kumite Kumite Kumite

pinkdino99

Kumite ! Kumite ! Kumite !

Huckleberry lobo

Crank is the guy's version of Run Lola Run it's going to be one helluva ride and without spoiling it's going to answer a question you guys posed in one of your other movie reactions about heroes.

maxthesilent

voted for crank even though despise the film just because i wanna see if george throws up on camera

BlindPanda

Baron will be happy with this poll ✌🏻

2026-09-05 05:00 Crank is something I never thought would win a poll. But here we are
2025-02-17 16:52

Cc Decc

Oh wow. Another one of those wheelhouse weeks for me. First of all, Bloodsport and Crank are both a ton of fun. That can be different from being good, mind you, but they are highly entertaining. Win, lose, or draw here, you should definitely watch them for the channel at some point. Mad Max, despite the title, isn't actually what you might think it is. Its important for introducing the character's backstory and Mel Gibson to the world, but its sequel, The Road Warrior, is the iconic movie that created the whole post apocalyptic desert subgenre and classic antihero. The first Max was shot on a microbudget, and its world hardly makes sense and hadn't come into full focus yet. And finally, Rocky Balboa may not win this poll, but was a great close to that iconic character. Like Mad Max, its not really what you might be expecting it to be, and instead goes full circle and is closer in tone to the original Oscar winner than the pumped up 80s action Rockys. Its more rumination on life and aging than adrenaline flick, and features one of my favorite little profound gem speeches where Rocky explains his philosophy of life to his son. P.S. Peter Jackson's King Kong inspired a rare reaction in me -- about halfway through I turned it off. It wasn't bad so much as just too much. It was just exhausting. One massive CGI chaos scene after another. I recall the 1970s King Kong movie as having real heart though, or trying to.

JBK405

If the subject is "Adrenaline", then "Crank" is the ONLY viable winner. I'm not saying it's the best movie. I'm not saying it's better than the other movies on this poll. But it's got ADRENALINE coming out the wazoo.

Cc Decc
>>165018304

Is it though? I mean I don't hate V, but I always considered Rocky Balboa as a fairly clear cut rebuke/rewrite of Rocky V's mistakes. Rocky Balboa makes no reference to its events, and indeed doesn't seem possible given V's premise.

akaTheBAY-AY-RON

This is not a drill, THIS IS HAPPENING 😂🤘

Cc Decc
>>165003280

I've been of the opinion that Rocky Balboa kind of de-certified Rocky V. I don't know that it decanonized it, but its hard to see how Rocky V could have happened in the same universe as Rocky Balboa.

Cc Decc
>>165002096

I would argue if you remember Rocky's V's premise, that some of its events could NOT have happened for Rocky to be, well, even alive for Rocky Balboa.

PIG

I agree with every sentence here.

simon brouillard

Don’t overthink it, its all make believe, not historical documents 😉

BlindPanda

hopefully simone doesn't forget to turn her mic on lol

Monica Alarcon

Rocky Balboa but not Rocky V??? That's just not natural...

jmundt33a

I am torn about the sequel. It’s a better idea than what they originally kicked around, but they forgot to reload the cast. They’re forgoing any civilians in it and have completely anonymous villains. This is a mistake.

John

I would agree, there is not really anything from the Creed series that you need to have seen Rocky V to understand

Mike M

Agreed

Mike M

I think King Kong 1933 should be watched before the 05 version. The 1976 version is optional.

Rob Church
>>165000587

Skip "The Hot Chick" for sure. Rob Schneider has never been funny. As Canadians they really need to see Freddy Got Fingered. That would be an amazing reaction.

Rob Church

Even outside of this poll, I don't think the 2005 King Kong is a good movie at all. It's on the same level as The Hobbit movies for me, just more boring and overwrought. Definitely a low point in Jacksons career.

Rob Church

Movie came out 20 years ago beating a movie that came out 40 years ago "ThIs GeNeRaTiOn!" 🤣

Dioskur (edited)

Comment edits

2026-10-27 21:00 ok so if the Polls title is "Adrenaline", Crank is the only right answer. That said: Please watch Bloodsport somewhen. That movie is so iconic in its overall insanity in front and behind the camera that you need to see it. And George: I bet your background will add a lot fun to the mix!
2025-02-17 18:16

Dioskur

Ha! I wrote nearly the exact same first line before reading yours :D

Ashton Lewis

Yeah I don't think it's an amazing film either, but my choices in this poll are quite slim I would say and King Kong tops that list for me, followed by Equaliser 2

Farbod

That’s how generations work, smart guy.

Cc Decc
>>165026100

Several people have said that, but Rocky Balboa pretty blatantly disregards Rocky V, which was kind of the failed attempt to originally wrap things up, and flat retcons part of it (brain damage). There's no reference at all in Balboa to any of the events of V.

Tom Hess

I voted Mad Max, but only because I want you two to react to the second and third one (Road Warrior / Beyond Thunderdome). First film is decent. Second film is awesome. Third film is... an acquired taste (I love it).

Doug Shore

sucks to see King Kong pulling third as that's one of my favorites. But dont forget to add it to the "Make Simone Cry" poll

maikeru

bloodsport needs more love

Donna Castellano

The first Mad Max is my favorite of the series but it's pretty far from adrenaline, especially compared to the rest of the series. 😁

Kinky

That "one motivational speech" in Balboa has way more of an impact when you have the whole context and development from V with the character he's telling it to IMO.

Andras Beck

I still remember watching Crank first time. After it finished, I was sitting in the chair, staring blindy with a "WTF did I just watch?!" look on my face. Pure fun :)

Mike FromOz

True, but it is the stepping stone that gets us on the way to being able to watch the others.

Mitchell Bowker

It where Rocky starts to struggle with his role as a father and mentor, a character arc that continues into Balboa, and into Creed. And the highs of Balboa won't be as rewarding if he doesn't go through the lows of V. You need all that context!

Happy Hanukkah

I second (third) The Accountant suggestion.

Happy Hanukkah

TIL that Owen and Giamatti collaborated before Duplicity (2009).

Happy Hanukkah

Then again, this would provide an alternate explanation for Rocky later being so blase about negative medical diagnoses. :-)

Dan Holmes

damn, somehow i have seen none of these except king kong which definitely doesn't belong here lol I would recommend Running Scared 2006, Hardcore Henry or Barry Lyndon for some fast paced high energy filmmaking ;)

BigGuy209 (edited)

Comment edits

2026-09-05 05:00 Yeah, I’m sorry but you can’t skip Rocky V. I know people say it’s bad and it kinda is but you can’t watch the four Rocky movies and then skip that one just to go to Rocky Balboa. Rocky V is part of the franchise you have to watch it.
2025-02-17 20:35

elias rinis

I haven't watched any of the two first highest rated ones but king kong 2005 used to be my fav as a child, i know it's a bit bloated but damn it's well made immersive and can really hit you in the feels when it has to

elias rinis

They should do the same as the Nosferatu reactions

Rob Church

Running Scared is such a sleeper

Jacob King

King Kong needs to be on a poll for “films made in the director’s imperial phase.” It’s low-key my favourite genre.

Chase Schleich

Wow. Did not expect Mad Max to be in 2nd especially when the series is really known for the 2nd and 3rd films, not the 1st.

Cc Decc
>>165046250

If there were world enough and time... I'm not sure that's a thing given its pretty much written out by Rocky Balboa. Never mentioned once in a movie otherwise drowning in Rocky nostalgia. Its like saying you have to watch all 10 Jason movies, or Requiem and the AvPs if you watch Alien. But the real thing is, this is a reaction channel, and there are only so many reactions they can do per year, and probably only so many years they are going to do them. I'm guestimating they do about 100-150 movies a year (2-3 a week). Are we going to spend one of those slots on the least of the Rockys when the classy closing movie is right here? I'm also fine with them skipping the ridiculous Rambo III, with its interesting Afghanistan vibe, if that gets them to the brutal testosterone burst of Rambo (2008), which should have closed that series.

Trevor S Bright

I heavily second this. Rocky 5 cements the relationship between Rocky and his son, making the state of their relationship in Rocky Balboa more easily explained.

max

oh yes please underappreciated movie.

Jared S.E.

For the next action/adrenaline poll, I would like to nominate Apocalypto.

nossieboy

Bloodsport is iconic especially the soundtrack.

E G

Crank followed by bloodsport are the only correct answers here, the rest all have way less adrenaline. While king kong and mad max are worth a watch they aren't really adrenaline filled.

Danika Silva

Again hoping to see a poll on stars, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, Audrey hepburn

John Every

King Kong is not Adrenaline but its still a great adventure movie that you should get around to eventually, imo

Martin Roca

Crank is so fun and stupid

OldBeardedGuyReacts

Anybody else ever vote and then see the numbers pop up and realize how completely different their taste is from the majority of voters?

RabidMango

I'm a terrible person because Bloodsport is my pick. I know I'm wrong and bad and I don't care.

RabidMango

i feel you brother. Makes sense though, popular movies win popular polls. Meanwhile I'm over here thinking about how many times Dam Vanne does the splits and unironically wanting a reaction.

REDR58 (edited)

2026-09-05 05:00 Come on Mad Max. It’s way past time they saw that!
2025-02-18 01:26

REDR58
>>165045786

I would recommend the 1986 “Running Scared” with Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal!

REDR58
>>165031096

While I like Fury Road, I still prefer the original trilogy. I haven’t seen Furiaosa yet though.

Khan1001

You guys should just watch Equalizer 2 & 3 anyway, I haven't watched 3 yet, was hoping you guys would have watched by now

UNC

Can we please get some more Scorsese on the channel? Raging Bull, Casino, Killers of the Flower Moon, The King of Comedy, The Irishman. Would be an elite poll in my opinion. Much love thanks for all the content! 💜

Justtired

My pick, as well. Mainly because I want them to watch The Road Warrior 🤣

maikeru

Please put No Retreat No Surrender (1985) on a poll one day

maikeru

literally no one thinks that

Trevor S Bright

I hope after this poll Rocky 5 gets put into consideration. It really isn't as bad as people say. And I think the father-son dynamic carries over surprisingly well in Rocky Balboa when considering the time jump.

Rachel W

Suggest for next action poll, "Natural Born Killers"(1994), Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis in Tarantino written film.

Andras Beck

CRANK is like the adrenalin shot to Mia's heart in Pulp Fiction, but stretched to 87 minutes.

Andras Beck

When thinking about shaky cam footage, we usually think Cloverfield, but deep down we know it's CRANK :)

David Crabtree

Rocky 5 is an absolute must watch before watching Rocky Balboa. A lot of people don't like it because it isn't as flashy and polished as parts 3 and 4, and isn't as Rah-Rah. The tone and feel of Rocky 5 is much more in line with parts 1 and 2, and it gives us some of Stallone's best character work as Rocky. Also, without spoilers, Rocky's place in life in Rocky Balboa is a direct result of the events of Rocky 5.

Cc Decc
>>165122546

The thing is Rocky Balboa specifically overwrites several aspects of Rocky 5 and retcons them. And it never mentions anything from that movie despite pouring I/II/III/IV nostalgia over itself. No scenes, events, or characters are referenced, which is very notable in a series which otherwise always has tremendous continuity movie to movie. Its pretty clear they wanted a fresh slate for Rocky Balboa.

David Crabtree

Rocky's living status and where he is financially in Rocky Balboa is a direct result of the events in Rocky 5. Also, Rocky's relationship to his son in Rocky Balboa is continuation of what was built in Rocky 5. Regardless of that, it's great character work by Stallone and Shire in Rocky 5. Stallone is more "Rocky" in Rocky 5 than he was in Rocky 4.

Brandon Meng

This poll was made for Crank and I'm glad to see it winning. I don't even know if it's my favorite Jason Statham movie but it's going to make for an absolutely killer reaction. Some others I'd consider for this genre: Uncut Gems Desperado 13 Assassins Payback (1999) The Matrix Reloaded Drive (slower but still action and best overall film of the bunch) My normal recommendations for the week: Perks of Being a Wallflower Manchester by the Sea Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Forgetting Sarah Marshall The Royal Tenenbaums Literally anything by director Alexander Payne (Sideways, Nebraska, The Descendants, Election, The Holdovers) Cheers!

Maiki

+1 Payback

Lyle Morgan

Payback is so underrated. Dirtbag Mel at his best.

Sam

Uncut Gems should have been on the list.

Trevor S Bright

If Simone and George ever do Peter Jackson's King Kong, I hope they do what they did with Nosferatu and watch the original 1st. They need more movies with stop motion effects like Clash of the Titans or Jason & the Argonauts.

rictus grin

natural born killers would be a good choice for this list

jmundt33a

+4 Payback Seconding Sideways and Sarah Marshall.

jmundt33a

3 is better than 2. First is best.

jmundt33a

No it doesn’t because Rocky Balboa explicitly reverses it to create more conflict and for no other reason.

jmundt33a

Great action, but the plot???

Khan1001

Yes, E1 is perfect. I'm just gonna watch 3, don't know when these guys will get around to watching it.

jmundt33a

Desperado and Drive are both excellent.

Ashkaun

Omg 🤦 Crank is such a stupid movie. 😆

Tyler Foster

Honestly, they should watch all three individual Kongs -- 1933, 1976, and the 2005 Jackson film.

China Andronicus

Jason & the Argonauts is amazing. I never meet anyone who knows it.

DonkyDave

So true and yet I can't wait for S & G to watch it

DonkyDave

Would also be great if the American Pie series could be resumed, silly but fun and short movies

Come on guys!! I love a majority of the movies on this poll - but the one that I want to win the most isn't ahead and it breaks my heart. Let's vote for Bloodsport! The movie's plain awesome and it's such a fun watch! JCVD movies are always a good time. Come on!!

Crank is such a blast from start to finish and the sequel is somehow even crazier

With the poll being so close, I hope they do both Mad Max and Crank. Seems like it will be the most pleasing choice.

Did someone say Drive?

Can't wait til they get to the Mad Max Holiday Special.

I know this is kind of random, and it doesn't have anything to do with the current poll (Albeit, Bloodsport and Mad Max are my vote!), but this is my request for you guys to do a react to the original Muppet Movie. You've reacted to some of my other top five movies (Lawrence of Arabia, Jackie Brown, The Shining, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit), and I would consider it to be just as good.

Obviously many people agree 😂. The IMDB score is WAY higher than I expected. It got mostly 7’s! Like wth?! 😆

2026-09-05 05:00 I think the Mad Max vote is all about the Road Warrior, which is valid. The Road Warrior was like Conan the Barbarian (which alas I recall the bingers not really getting the way I'd hoped) -- two brutal base movies that started two of the defining subgenres of the 80s.

This might be the first time I've voted for the first and last place. :D

Holy crap Crank won, I foresee the phrase, "wtf did we just watch?" coming out of y'all at some point 😭🤣. I'd also recommend Hardcore Henry which has a similar style but shot all in POV.

Mike FromOz

Agreed. That and 'A Muppet Christmas Carol' are awesome.

Totally with you on 1986’s Running Scared. Fantastic buddy cop film that’s wildly overlooked.

I have no issue with people voting for Mad Max for its own sake. It is also perfectly legitimate for people to vote for it principally to get to Mad Max 2 / The Road Warrior, as many have stated here. But. In the second case, a perverse little voice in my head whispers that it would be only fitting that S&G be sufficiently underwhelmed with Mad Max that they indefinitely put off watching the sequel. :-)

This poll is just disappointing lol... Bloodsport not winning makes me so sad...
