What's your favorite Revenge/Vengeance film?

[Kody]

One of my favorite genres/subgenres.

[Gregory]

Wrath of Khan.

[YouStayClassy]

As of last week, Hard Candy.

[The Roman Candle]

Sympathy for Mr. Vengence was freakin' awxome.
I know it's probably the "easy answer," by Kill Bill was great, too.
Oh, Hang 'em High, an old Clint Eastwood cowboy flick, was tits.


Wrath of Khan.

Shit yes!

[TIP]

Savannah Smiles.

[Rod Nunley]

Sympathy for Lady Vengance.

[dougmac]

The Usual Suspects and Kill Bill. Obvious answers sure, but they're classic for a reason.

[BenC (formerly Ape-X)]

oldboy
or kill bill
or maybe
nah, oldboy.

[Howlett]

Serious films - The Crow, Bullet in the Head or Full Contact

Action films but with some comedy - Insert pretty much any Jackie Chan movie in here.

[The Roman Candle]

Sympathy for Lady Vengance.

Haven't seen that one yet, but I've been really excited for it.

[Dwight L. MacPherson]

I'd have to say "The Crow" is my favorite revenge film.

[Gregory]

Savannah Smiles.

They accidentally kidnapped a ninja. Could happen to anyone.

[Jef UK]

Revenge of the Vengeance II: Revengeances.

[Kody]

Some of these stretch a little, but still are revenge films in my opinion.

Too many martial arts films to name, so I'll just say "most of them."

Road Warrior
Memento
Man on Fire
Office Space
Four Brothers (better than I thought it'd be)
Jaws (?)
Deliverance
Hostel
Payback (?)
Munich

[Kody]

Coffy & Foxy Brown

[Sean Jackson]

Wow, no one's said Unforgiven yet.

[Shepherd]

Sympathy for Lady Vengance.

Did this come to the US yet?

Anyway, the whole vengence triology is good, but I actually think Oldboy is my favorite.

Memento. Now THAT'S a good one too.

[WinterRose]

Man... it may be:

V for Vendetta
Kill Bill
The Usual Suspects
The Bourne Identity/Supremacy

hmm... Lemme think on it a little. I know there's a HUGE number of them I've forgotten.

[Doc Randy]

I really like the weird sub-genre that mixes elements of revenge stories with romantic-comedies.

My Best Friend's Wedding
Addicted to Love

Both involved jilted protagonists who were out to ruin the current relationships of their estranged loves.

[WinterRose]

OH! High Plains Drifter. The Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven

[DeadMike]

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance has come to the U.S.

I liked it a lot but I have to say that Oldboy is probably my favorite revenge flick.

[DAVE]

Revenge of the Nerds

[Dusto]

Revenge of the Sith

[PhilipClark]

Vulgar

[Constant Reader]

LADY VENGEANCE arrives on DVD today.

As for my favorites, I'd have to say:
KILL BILL
SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE/OLDBOY/LADY VENGEANCE trilogy
LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT

CR

[Dusto]

Also, The Empire Strikes Back.

[Taki Soma]

Never Ending Story

[nrrdgrrl]

Kill Bill, either one.

As far as my favorite anti-vengeance film: Four Feathers. Being all nice, that'll show'em.

[Dusto]

I thought for sure that I'd have a good Chinese movie to name (I own about forty), but I don't think I really have any that are really "revenge" movies. I mostly own a lot of wuxia with some supernatural stuff like CHinese Ghost Story and Mr. Vampire thrown in for good measure. I guess Tsui Hark's "The Blade" is a revenge story, but it's not my favorite revenge movie by a long shot. Maybe Crippled Avengers. I don't know. I can't really think of any that stand out as being nearly as good as Revenge of the Sith or The Empire Strikes Back.

[RickLM]

I can't even think of one.

What's the one where Julia Roberts is a battered wife who thinks she got away from her psycho husband, but then he tracks her down? That one was alright.

[YouStayClassy]

I can't even think of one.

Sleeping With The Enemy?

[Roland Of Gilead]

I can't even think of one.

Sleeping With The Enemy.

I'd say Kill Bill 1 & 2, Hard Candy, Unforgiven.

[Icaruss]

Kill Bill.

[YouStayClassy]

Sleeping With The Enemy.

I'd say Kill Bill 1 & 2, Hard Candy, Unforgiven.
Great choice!

And welcome to the board!

[TIP]

They accidentally kidnapped a ninja. Could happen to anyone.

The odd part is:

the fact that the ninja has a prosthetic gummi arm...I mean...what the fuck is that (other than a potential delicious Mayhem dispenser)?

[Roland Of Gilead]

Thanks!! :D

[PhilipClark]

Thanks!! :D
Love the sig, Roland. Welcome.

[Roland Of Gilead]

Love the sig, Roland. Welcome.
Thank you, sir. Glad to be here.

[Taki Soma]

oh wait, I take my first one back

it's:

Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera

[Boris the Blade]

The Bride Wore Black.

[Mister Mets]

Kill Bill Volume 2
or
High Noon

[sonnylarue]

Point Blank

[J. R. Scherer]

Conan the Barbarian
Fist of Fury (aka, Chinese Connection)
Bride With White Hair
Lady Snowblood
Lone Wolf & Cub
Unforgiven
RoboCop

[Gavin]

The Crow

[WinterRose]

Oh hell yeah. Conan the Barbarian's a damn good one. The one that the wave of barbarian revenge stories afterward seemed to fail to emulate.

[jmwilly]

The Abominable Dr. Phibes

[Billie]

The Crow
Count of Monte Cristo

[MysterioXIII]

Payback.

[Sam Little]

Commando
Sin City (the Marv part)
Heathers

[DAVE]

Conan the Barbarian
Fist of Fury (aka, Chinese Connection)Bride With White Hair
Lady Snowblood
Lone Wolf & Cub
Unforgiven
RoboCop

With Jet Li? Isn't that Fist of Legend? If so I agree. Great fucking movie. There is a Jet Li Fist of Fury, but it's not the Chinese COnnection remake. FoL is.

[Kody]

No, Fist of Fury is Bruce Lee. You should be banned for not knowing that! Somebody call a moderator.

:D

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

Once upon a time in West.

[J. R. Scherer]

Bruce Lee made Fist of Fury, which was released Stateside with the title 'Chinese Connection'. Your confusion could stem from the fact that Bruce Lee's first movie, The Big Boss, was released here in the United States with the title 'Fists of Fury'.

Jet Li made a remake of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury called Fist of Legend, which, yes, is a freakin' awesome flick. I love it. More than the original Bruce Lee flick, even. The original has much more of a vengeance/revenge thing going, though.

[J. R. Scherer]

Commando
Sin City (the Marv part)
Heathers
Commando is more of a rescue mission sort of thing.

But, damn, do I love that movie.

"You scared, motherfucker? You should be. 'Cuz this Green Beret's gonna kick your big ass!"

"I eat Green Berets for breakfast. And right now... I'M VERY HUNGRY!"

[Happy Time Harry]

I've always had a soft spot for Mel Gibson's "Payback"

[DAVE]

:D
Dude, read J.R's post. You can understand how I got confused.

anti semite. :lol:

[Dreg]

I liked everything about Oldboy except the ending. Not the twist part, just the resolution.

HE NEVER GOT HIS REVENGE! Call me old fashioned, but the good guy should always kill the bad guy at the end. It's just good manners.

I can see that.

Also,
I don't understand why he cut off his own tongue.

[costello]

Kill Bill 1 & 2
The Professional

[Buk Was Right]

pale rider!

one of my favorite eastwood flicks. the scene where he takes his guns out of the box and throws his preist's collar in there is chiche as all hell... but awesome!

[Craig C]

High Plains Drifter he got revenge on everyone in that movie in a unique way. And it was one of the few movies that in the first five minutes of the movie he robbed murdered and raped and then was made sheriff of the town.

Hang em high

Payback

Next of kin

[monkeyboy]

High Plains Drifter was one of my favorites. And Falling Down is a GREAT movie when you just feel pissed at the world.

[J. R. Scherer]

And Falling Down is a GREAT movie when you just feel pissed at the world.
I'll never know.

I've completely sworn off Joel Schumacher films for the rest of all time.

[monkeyboy]

then stick to the Godzilla flicks. Because now that i think about it. Those have got to be some of the biggest revenge movies ever.

[J. R. Scherer]

Some of them most definitely are.

[redsplitwig]

The Limey!

I can't believe nobody said it already.

[joeAR]

Kill Bill and Hard Candy

[Ryan Elliott]

The Crow
Count of Monte Cristo
V for Vendetta
The Punisher(shut the fuck up!!:mad: )
The Outlaw Josey Wales

That's all I can remember right now.

[Dreg]

Titus Andronicus should go on the list, too. Gives whole new meaning to the phrase "humble pie."

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Moby Dick.

[Run-BMC]

Definitely Man On Fire, but I thought Punisher was actually very satisfying.
