Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator on the poster for Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) directed by James Cameron
Following on from the massive action movie boom of the 1980s, which introduced audiences to major franchises such as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon and Indiana Jones, the 1990s was a more transitional era for the action genre. Computer-generated imagery was becoming increasingly more advanced, seamlessly melding together real-life actors with fantastical alternate worlds, seen in blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Independence Day.
While the special effects were not as sophisticated at the start of the decade, Total Recall is still a great movie that outshines the 2012 remake by miles. The touches of humor interspersed with the kick-ass fight scenes make this one of the most rewatchable Schwarzenegger movies out there. For those who haven't seen it, 'get ready for a surprise!'*Availability in US

Before he made a name for himself in Hollywood, John Woo was busy redefining the movie industry in his home region with films like Hard Boiled, which is not only is it a great action flick, but one of the best Hong Kong movies made to date. The warehouse shoot-out with the motorcycle riders is a brilliant piece of seamless action choreography, which no doubt contributed to the editing awards the film received at the Asia Pacific Film Festival and Hong Kong Film Awards.

By the end of the decade, CGI technology had vastly improved from the days of Total Recall, allowing The Matrix to bring action fans some of the best fight scenes ever filmed. A computer-generated world provided the perfect platform to showcase technological advancement in the movie industry and give audiences something never seen before.*Availability in US
