Ong-Bak
Ong-Bak is a lesser-known movie, most likely because the acting isn’t all that great. However, there are a few scenes that catch your eye. For instance, the tree scene at the start of the movie. As part of this Thai town’s tradition, all young men climb the huge tree on the outskirts of the town. The first to retrieve the scarf from the top of the tree and get down safely is the winner. People push each other out of the tree, kick each other, and fight to get the win. It’s a brutal scene.

Fearless
In Fearless, Jet Li faces a lot of different fighting styles. Moreover, he fights a boxer, does spearfighting, swords, different styles of Kung fu, a huge wrestler, and multiple weapon fights. Jet Li is a very well-rounded fighter, which makes this movie enjoyable to watch. He doesn’t resort to the same moves over and over again, which his fight scenes top-notch.

300
An absolute classic. 300 Spartans fight enemies in a tight cliffside pathway against a huge army. Due to this setting, they stand a chance. The way this movie is shot is on another level. You get a feel for the Spartan society. “Come back with your shield or on it” is a quote from 300, but it might as well have been John Wick for its proclivity to violence.

Similar revenge movies to John Wick
Man on Fire, if John Wick was a bodyguard
Denzel Washington plays a bodyguard for a 9-year-old girl in Man on Fire. A lot of children in Mexico are getting kidnapped, so this makes more sense than it sounds at first glance. Because it’s a movie, criminals kidnap the girl. Denzel goes to retrieve her. It’s a story about betrayal and revenge. Much like John Wick, the bad guys push the main character too far.

Nobody, John Wick with a family
Nobody is pretty much the same movie as John Wick. Burglars break into a family man’s home. He retaliates and gets into a war with a Russian crime boss. The writer, Derek Kolstad, has written the plot for John Wick as well. Obviously, which is why the movie has a similar feel.

The Equalizer
Another Denzel Washington movie is The Equalizer. However, this time it’s about a man who has opted for a quiet life. Yet, he can’t sit still when injustice is being done. Sound similar to John Wick right? Great action-packed movie, well worth a watch!

Law Abiding Citizen, John Wick but without the fighting
Gerard Butler plays a family man whose house gets broken into in Law Abiding Citizen. What is it with family men and burglaries in this genre? Obviously, never buy a house if you have a family. His daughter and wife and up dead. One of the two killers gets out of prison on good behavior. This, of course, does not sit well with our main character and he’s been plotting his revenge for years. Intricate disguises, homemade bomb devices, and ways of torturing. He’s getting his revenge, even if it’s the last thing he does!
