- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenBelinda BauerRoboCop returns to protect the citizens of old Detroit but faces a deadly challenge when a rogue OCP member secretly creates a new, evil RoboCop 2.Underrated.
Robocop 2 is still violent and bloody, but "less" brutal compared to the first movie.
Robocop 2 also features some of the best Stop-motion animations ever made. - DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsJean-Claude Van DammeDolph LundgrenAlly WalkerSoldiers who were killed in action are brought back to life in a top secret military experiment that creates superhuman warriors.I was surprised to see how violent it is (considering that it's a hollywood action movie made in the 90's, probably the era when the MPAA was too politically correct).
- DirectorJohn HyamsStarsDolph LundgrenJean-Claude Van DammeAndrei ArlovskiTerrorists kidnap the Russian Prime Minister's 2 kids, take Chernobyl nuclear power plant and threaten to blow up a reactor. 4 Universal Soldiers go in but are no match to a Next Gen. UniSol Luc (Jean-Claude Van Damme) goes in but faces 2 NGUs.Time for a rematch, this time more violent and bloody.

Thank's Xavier Gens. - DirectorJohn WooStarsChow Yun-FatTony Leung Chiu-waiTeresa MoA tough-as-nails cop teams up with an undercover agent to shut down a sinister mobster and his crew.My favorite movie of all time.
Lots of well coreographed action, lots of blood and exit wounds. - DirectorJohn WooStarsJean-Claude Van DammeLance HenriksenYancy ButlerA woman hires a drifter as her guide through New Orleans in search of her missing father. In the process, they discover a deadly game of cat and mouse behind his disappearance.The first movie of John Woo made in America.
The MPAA was in it's "ULTRA PC ERA", where they slapped NC-17 at every movie that contained blood spraying, this would get a regular R-Rating today.
The movie is not full of blood, but the last scene has some decent bloody gun blasting (at least in the uncut "international" version).
This is the only american John Woo movie that i found decent and it's one of the best JCVD movies. - DirectorRingo LamStarsChow Yun-FatSimon YamAnn BridgewaterTwo disreputable friends get tied in with a group of criminals who turn out to be excessively violent and deceptive.A good Hong Kong actioner from Ringo Lam.
The action sequences are short, but most of them contain a good deal of hard hitting and bloody violence. - DirectorPatrick AlanStarsBolo YeungMaryam d'AboWilliam ZabkaFight matches, that end when a man is either unconscious or dead, are fought in Tijuana. 2 naive friends, hoping to make a quick buck, go there. One owes money to a loan shark - giving them plenty of practice in no rule fights.Be sure to watch the Unrated and Uncut version, if you want to get some brutal and gory "finishing hits" (in a Mortal Kombat way).
- DirectorSam FirstenbergStarsDavid BradleyMark DacascosValarie TrappAn American reporter teams up with a martial arts expert, whose half-brother is a "yakuza" - Japanese mafia - drug dealer to battle swordsmen from around the world in a Turkish arena.It's like Bloodsport....with blades....and a touch of gore.
- DirectorLexi AlexanderStarsRay StevensonDominic WestJulie BenzFrank Castle, known as the Punisher, ruthlessly demolishes organized crime, but it starts an even bigger war.Good comic book adaptation, with a good deal of graphic violence and blood splattering.
