A new faith in these directors by producers to see their creative vision through, a rise in reliable movie stars who could carry a story, and a thirst from audience members to see the world explode all led to a decade of memorable, genre-defying work. The modern action film may have started in the &#8217;80s, but the following decade saw the genre was remade and combusted to give us a slew of iconic films.

Simple in its plot design and executed with expertise from its director Jan De Bont &#8211; who previously acted as the cinematographer of action classics like <em>Die Hard<\/em> and <em>Hunt For Red October<\/em> &#8211; <strong><em>Speed<\/em><\/strong> is one of the all-time great action films because it literally never lets you go. It also had everything going for it in the casting. On a bus armed to the teeth with explosives because of a psycho who didn&#8217;t get away with his previous crimes, Dennis Hopper screams through the frames as a great villain; on the bus is officer Keanu and passenger Sandra Bullock, who both have to somehow keep the bus from exploding. <em>Speed <\/em>proved you can keep things simple but still create an intoxicating experience that people will never forget.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! --><br \/>\n <span class=\"related-single\">Related: 15 Best Keanu Reeves Movies, Ranked<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- Zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"el-mariachi\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_El_Mariachi\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">4 <\/span> El Mariachi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/El-Mariachi.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/El-Mariachi.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/El-Mariachi.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/El-Mariachi.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"A man holds a guitar case in El Mariachi\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Columbia Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> The film that put Robert Rodriguez on the map and instantly injected his name into the independent film-making ethos of the &#8217;90s, <strong><em>El Mariachi<\/em><\/strong> was a sleeper acton hit no one saw coming.
