The most flawless action movie series is LETHAL WEAPON. Not a single bad film in the franchise.
While DIE HARD, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and others are great, they do have their weak links. JOHN WICK is an obvious choice too.
Let's argue. What's the best action film series (3+ movies)? I strongly believe it's Mission Impossible, though I could possibly be convinced otherwise.

[1/2] I think Statham deserves the recognition from genre fans that Leung Kar Yan gets. For those that don’t know Leung Kar Yan, he’s a non-martial artist who has the incredible ability to remember and perform complex fight choreography. And look seriously legit…
I have to admit I get a bit upset when we talk about Jason Statham as just a guy who makes dumb action movies. While it’s true his films don’t hide their silliness, I think we take for granted that we are watching a true martial arts cinema phenom at work

Corey Yuen was an undisputed king of wire-fu, but he could also pull off incredible grounded stuff.
He was the Action Director on John Woo’s RED CLIFF so he was responsible for this incredible sequence. This is genius level fight design.
Corey Yuen wasn’t just a remarkable director and fight choreographer. He could perform in front of the camera with the best of them.
Here he is showing off some shapes and impeccable spear skills in THE SECRET RIVALS PART II (1977).

The terms “John Wick clone” and “John Wick ripoff” need to be put to bed unless a film is about someone exacting gun-based revenge after having their pet murdered.

Not gonna lie. This sounds like it could be flames. It’s basically “Daisy Ridley does Die Hard” and that CANNOT be a bad thing.
