I get so sick of little many love stories in my action movies. If I want to see that crap, I’ll watch a movie my wife pickes out. I mean why do they put that crap in almost every action movie?
Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to name the action movies that are actually about action without any romantic encouters or subplots that you have fastforward to see more action.
Saving Private Ryan except he(hanks) does talk about his wife back home.
I believe “Kelly’s Heroes” too.
But for the life of me those are the only two that come to mind.
Most people would consider “love scene” in a Hollywood movie as referring to simulated on-screen copulation. You seem to have a different notion in mind, WB.
I hope you’re joking, in an “Eww, girls!” kinda way.
However, even by my definition, there are a surprising number of action movies these days where there isn’t enough time in the plot for romantic diversions. The Peacemaker with George Clooney and Nicole Kidman comes to mind. There are others.
You see this pattern a lot in movies featuring interracial leads. For some reason, men & women of different races aren’t allowed to get it on. Say, Eraser (though there may have been some ersatz coitus by non-leads; I can’t recall).
So I don’t know what you’re griping about. Besides icky girls.
Don’t get me wrong. I like chics. Sometimes they seem like they shove a love scense for the hell of it. In Die Hard I think it was necessary for the plot but for alot movies it is just ok here is the love scene.
I did, in fact, enjoy that nude scene. However, I must disagree that this film has no “love” element. I thought it had one of the most tacked on “love scenes” ever. After she put her clothes on, Eleniak spends the whole film in a role that either sex could have played. No sexual tension, no flirting. Just a sidekick. Yet at the end, Segal kisses her passionatley while the navy cheers on. I seem to recall a “bust a move” line. I thought it was out of no where. No build up. Nothing to indicate they liked each other. Worse than an Au-NOLD love plot.
Was there one in Universal Solidier? Did he try to go back to a wife?
I never understood love stories in hard action films. Women will not like them anyway (unless they like them for the action itself). Men will not like it (unless it is sophisticated or truly integrated into the plot like say Marion in Raiders of the Lost Ark)
There was no love scene in The Relic. One of the few positive things you can say about the movie.
Within the script, there was no in-character romantic dialogue between the two leads. Someone must have forgotten to tell the director and actors, because the way the movie was done, I was continually expecting the obligatory romantic sub-plot.
