There were so many great movies in the 90s, but the action genre is going all out to provide us with ten years of unforgettable high-intensity movies.
The 1990s were as good as the movies. The rise of the Sundance Film Festival and the Miramax Film Festival has witnessed the rise of independent films to become mainstream. We let filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Stephen Soderbergh, and Ang Lee begin to find their own way. And, thanks to a movie called T2: Judgment Day, the standard of visual effects has only just improved. Thanks to the producers’ new belief in the director, they can see their vision, the rise of reliable movie stars, who can tell a story, and the audience’s desire for the world to explode, giving us a decade of unforgettable and anti-genre Work. Modern action movies may have started in the 80s, but in the 90s, the genre was remade and burned to provide us with a series of iconic movies.
For director Joel Silver's sci-fi/action hybrid "The Demolition Man," pairing two action icons together is a no-brainer.

The villain Simon Phoenix (Simon Phoenix), played by Snipes, wore bleached hair and denim overalls from the 90s. It was incredible. He walked through the futuristic Los Angeles and showed his athletic ability, which made him Such an eye-catching action star. Stallone is as reliable as ever, partnering with Sandra Bullock, who proved to be a reliable and strong-willed male action protagonist in the 90s. Demolition people are still the main content of action movies because of their unforgettable battles and the irony of American consumerism that still applies today.
There is no action comedy without mentioning Jackie Chan's name. For decades, Jackie has used his athletic talent to perform various stunts that challenge death. Not only is his creativity in the kicking department, but also how he changes the surrounding environment as he wants, and makes full use of comedy props to add another dimension to the action. So, look at the rumble of the Bronx. Jackie and director Stanley Tong turned this district into their playground. From deli fights to trolley fights, to the lively but anxiety-induced chase of gangs involved in bicycle riding on the street, Rumble set fire to the streets.

The Rock is just the tip of the iceberg of the iconic director who is now chaotic.
