Collider has published a ranked list of the eight most fun action films of the 1990s, arguing that while the decade's action cinema can be described in many ways, "fun" is the quality that unites its standout entries. The list highlights how bigger budgets and advancing CGI allowed film-makers to push concepts further than in the 1980s, resulting in outlandish, crowd-pleasing blockbusters from major stars of the era.

Among the films discussed are Arnold Schwarzenegger's self-aware satire Last Action Hero (1993), which flopped commercially but has since earned a cult following for spoofing the action tropes Schwarzenegger himself helped establish; and Sylvester Stallone's Demolition Man (1993), a dystopian action-comedy co-starring Wesley Snipes that proved more successful by satirising political correctness rather than the genre itself. The article also begins to discuss the influence of director John Woo's stylish "gun-fu" style on Hollywood action films of the decade, before the extract ends.
