One Hundred Of The Best, Most Violent Films Ever

JON ABBOTT has been writing professionally about 20th century pop culture for over thirty years, with over four hundred articles on TV and film published in over two dozen different magazines, trade, specialist, and populist. Here, he looks at the very best violent movies of their kind before CGI ruined everything and turned action films into second-rate animated computer games. From Cagney and Corman to Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat, from Coffy and Black Caesar to Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, from Republic serials to the Die Hards and their clones, from Shaft and Get Carter to Schwarzenegger and Stallone, these are films faked the hard way, with real stunts, real explosions, real muscles, real imagination, strong scripts, serious carnage, and real cars on real roads. Here are one hundred of the best, most violent movies ever. Where they came from, why they're great, and what's in 'em that makes them great. Today, Jon Abbott self-publishes, and has had two previous books published by McFarland in the U.S. This is his sixth book (search or click on my name below the title for the Amazon Author's Page). He lives in Brighton, England.
