There is one where a guy riding a horse slides under a truck as if it's a motorcycle.

It is hilarious! It doesn't even go feet first, which makes it funnier!

Holy crap, it's a jerb. I thought the mexicans took all of you twenty years ago.

RRR is the greatest action movie of this generation

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

RRR was the first Indian movie I watched and I loved it. I watched other Indian movies after that, but they pale in comparison.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Monkey Man, directed by Dev Patel, was solid. More of a John Wick movie than RRR's Rambo: The Musical. But the acting, the cinematography, and the screenplay were all on par with a top tier American film.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

That’s because it is one though.

3 Idiots (2009). It's not an action movie like RRR but I find it just as entertaining.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I randomly watched that movie with 0 expectations and holy shit. It was cinema 11/10.

The bheem song in the whipping scene was great

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No kidding! That movie just delivers for 3 hours straight and has one of the best twists I didn’t see coming at all. One of my favorites parts of the massive crowd fight with the cop.

For a little while now, yes.

IMDb, historically known as the Internet Movie Database,[2] is an online database of information related to films, ... IMDb began as a fan-operated movie database on the Usenet group "rec.arts.movies" in 1990, and moved to the Web in 1993. Since 1998, it has been owned and operated by IMDb.com, Inc., ** a subsidiary of Amazon. **

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Honestly, to an English speaking North American with typical deficient exposure to the complexities of a lot of other cultures and languages, a lot of the English-language translations for shows and movies from other parts of the world end up coming across that way. Mostly, I just assume it's something lost in translation and totally not a big deal, of course.

Don't fuck the fuck. If you fuck the fuck fuck fucks you. I'm not the fuck, I'm the shit!

Oh simply the committee that nominates movies for Oscar is ass in India(as in corrupt) so you'll never even hear about good Indian movies through Oscars You should look at tumbbad, jigarthanda double x

[–] Mika@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Or simply the Oscar is an advertisement company for their friends products, and not some competition.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In their defense, action movies are all pretty over the top.

Die Hard anyone?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's 30 years between them. When Die Hard came out it had a building explode and a man used a hose like a bungee cord to escape. And he lived. Yeah, it was the same level of over the top - we just got used to it.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

idk man, look at some bollywood films from the 80s and 90s. they have an entirely different sense of physics.

This Indian song is a lyrical masterpiece.

He is after all, a very good bad boy.

I love silly action movies

[–] Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is that what was actually said or a poor translation?

[–] sga@lemmings.world 6 points 1 month ago
[–] 7ai@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

Oh wow. Now I need to look up a translation for what was said before that to maybe put it in context to at least see what they were attempting to convey.
