The first installment in the Dirty Harry series is the 1971 criminal thriller Dirty Harry. In the movie, Clint Eastwood portrays the title character, an inspector with the SFPD.

The first Bond series blockbuster, this 1964 picture also served as Bond's debut in Hollywood action movies.

9. Face Off(1997)
A fascinating Hollywood action movies starring Nicholas Cage and John Travolta is called Face/Off.
The film, which was directed by John Woo, provides a compelling story about the conflict between an FBI agent and a terrorist.

11. Speed(1994)
The principal actors in the 1994 Hollywood action movies Speed are Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. The film's whole plot revolves around speed, so the title is completely warranted.
An LAPD officer boards the moving bus to save a passenger after a bomber sets up a city bus with a bomb that will detonate if the speed of the vehicle drops below 50 mph.
The main conflict of the remaining scenes centers on whether he saves everyone or becomes the bomber's next victim.
