Why yes, I do my own stunts…

Letterboxd Action Star Showdown.
Slightly unique criteria for this one: compile a list of ten best action stars by choosing a movie that their name appears first in the cast list for the Letterboxd description of the movie. For example, if you want Nic Cage on your list, then choose National Treasure instead of The Rock, as Connery has top billing in the latter. 

And apologies for the lack of women on this list, but just because Cameron gets a great performance out of Sigourney Weaver in Aliens still doesn’t quite lock her in, IMHO.  I do understand that there is a possibility I might be dropping Michelle Yeoh on to the list but I’ll have to wait until next week. 

Not really in any order, but the first four listed could make a great Mt. Rushmore of action epics… 💥🎉💥
