Saw Bad at Black Rock once forever ago. Remember very little about it. But I remember being fascinated by how Tracey (for obvious character reasons) kept that one hand in his pocket the whole darn movie. Always wondered if he got frustrated with that or found it limiting.
I notice though that Ben Kingsley’s character has a different accent than the younger version of himself; either the actors were uninformed of each others performances, or, it could be argued that you immediately develop an affectation when you convert to villainy.
I don't think I could to a top 10. But I dig your list. Some stuff I need to add to my list, but a good amount of overlap with the stuff I like and need to revisit.
the Universal Soldier movies aren't worth watching after the first film -- until John Hyams (son of Peter Hyams) steps in and takes some big, wild, ultra-violent swings with Regeneration and Day of Reckoning. DoR is a bonkers DTV actioner with nods to Blade Runner, Frankenstein, Noé, etc.
I actually wrote about Day of Reckoning a few years ago. probably not wise to read this if you haven't seen it yet, but I think you can tell from the header image alone that it's VERY different from the first Universal Soldier film.
my other favorite Scott Adkins joint! it rules. a super satisfying, super underrated low-budget actioner that's currently streaming on Prime, Tubi, and Pluto TV
Love both Universal Soldier movies from John Hyams. I think he is a super-underrated director (Alone and his show Black Summer are superb). And I can't more agree with Avengement, I think is his best movie, and Jesse V Johnson's.
We need a boutique label putting out a Scott Adkins boxset, so many of films doesn't get blu-ray releases, or they are just bare bones release. I need an Undisputed set.

Maybe I should just forget about ranking them.
Stoked to see The Hidden on there, it’s my favourite to show people.
Top tier Ed O’Ross, his delivery of the list of crimes should’ve got him nominated.
Great car movie too. One of the best opening sequences ever filmed, the Blu-ray is incredible.
Thanks for sharing 😊
